Player Intro: 2010 Prospect Ralph Hill
Hill is a 6'7 smooth prospect he spends most of his time in the post for his C-BIZ AAU team but is capable of playing the wing as well. Hill is considered one of the top 2010 prospects in the state of Ohio and he has been contacted by a slew of schools including Bowling Green, Akron, Ohio, Minnesota, Penn State, Purdue, Iowa, Virginia, Xavier.
Last season as a sophomore at Westerville North High, Hill averaged over 18 points and around 8 rebounds a game.
Hill had 22 points and 9 rebounds while Tubby Smith was on hand to watch C-BIZ play personally. C-BIZ cruised to a 10+ point win.

Miller stands almost 6'11 and is a solid player. Miller is a high major prospect who has ties to the state of Kentucky. The word from some folks close to his situation is that he would like to be pursued by UK, but I didn't verify that with Miller himself. However the way that this information was presented to me was in a believable fashion. Miller has been offered by Georgia and Georgia Tech. Trent Johnson was on hand for at least 1 of his games and an offer is believed to be on the horizon.
This kid is worth keeping an eye on. Miller had 10 points and 11 blocks in his teams final game of the tourney. Coach Webster was keeping an eye on the talented big man at, at least 1 game.
Miller will have to become more mobile but does have a ton of upside.

In the first game, Barnes was the focal point of his teams offense today scoring 26 points and showing his ability to get to the rack in multiple ways including a very nice dunk tip, that even made UK assistant Glynn Cyprien look intrigued. Barnes also showed that he is a very cerebral player and does all of the intangible things that you like to see your best player doing. With 6 seconds left in the half Barnes drove and dished the ball out for an easy jumper, making the score 33-28 at the half. Barnes had 13 at that time.
Barnes was aggressive in the second half having multiple attempts from the line. With 6 minutes left Barnes hit a shot to make it 60-52, then a few moments later Zach Mcabe sank a bucket and the bonus to push the lead to 67-63. With 20 seconds left left Barnes nailed to more free throws that sealed the win.
The second game was one of the best games that I seen all day. The Attack struggled early on however Barnes remained steady, posting 28 points right in front of Coach Gillispie and Coach Cox. 6'7 Ben Avercamp led the Wisconsin Swing with 24 points and multiple adjusted shots that helped to seal a 75-71 win.
After watching his All Iowa Attack team play 3 games and go 2-1. I have seen firsthand why there is so much hoopla surrounding the versatile young man. The final game was his best showing and his ability to shoot from long range was on display. With a couple of seasons left before he puts on a college jersey Barnes could put up numbers comparable to Beasley or Durant as a freshman.

Even without a horse in the race Coach Gillispie still works the zebras.
