Flyin’ to the Hoop will again have country’s top-ranked senior
The Flyin’ to the Hoop boys basketball event — now called Good Samaritan Flyin’ to the Hoop — gained national attention last year when it was reported that Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari was looking for a way to land a helicopter at Kettering’s Trent Arena to watch a coveted recruit play.
That recruit, Brandon Knight of Florida, was participating in the Flyin’ with his Pine Crest School team. Calipari did indeed watch him, but he had to settle for driving when fog rolled in.
Knight was the top-ranked senior in the country by many services, which continued a tradition of No. 1 recruits appearing in Kettering. It looks like that tradition could continue.
Scout.com’s No. 1-ranked senior in the upcoming class, Anthony Davis of Perspectives Charter School in Chicago, is scheduled to appear with his team at the 2011 Good Sam Flyin’, event director Eric Horstman said.
(Here’s the full Scout.com top 100).
The entire Flyin’ field isn’t set, but Horstman said he’s planning for 34 teams from eight states. Horstman said he should be able to release the full schedule soon for an event that has become a notable happening on the national prep basketball calendar.
