'15 PA SG Levan Alston
Alston has big day
Team Final out of Philadelphia had a big day and a big weekend. Much of it had to do with the play of Rivals150 combo guard Levan Alston, aka Shizz. A 6-foot-3 combo guard from Haverford (Pa.), Alston currently sits at No. 118 in the national rankings but made a case to be moved up. A two-way player, Alston uses his quickness and length to pester opponents as a defender. On the offensive end, he is very good at setting up his offense off the dribble and is a very good jump shooter whether it be on pull-ups or coming off a screen and firing from deep. He's also quick to deflect credit to his talented teammates on the perimeter such a Syracuse-bound Malachi Richardson and Villanova-bound Donte Divincenzo who rank No. 21 and No. 81, respectively, in 2015. "We just have so many guards that can play," said Alston when asked about the success he is enjoying in the EYBL. "It's hard for teams to match up with us, and it gets us open looks. "It's easy playing with good guards like all of these guys." Alston said that his recruitment has started to take off of late and that he has offers from VCU, Wichita State, Seton Hall, Cincinnati, Notre Dame Temple and Penn State. Stanford, Harvard and Boston College have shown more interest of late, and he's seen the campuses of Penn State, Harvard, Boston College, Seton Hall and Temple. He counts his ability to play on or off the ball as a big reason for the interest from college programs. "They like my ability to play the point and the two," said Alston of college coaches. "I can shoot the three and hit the mid range off the dribble." https://cincinnati.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1640383 |

“It shows that hard work is paying off,” said Alston of the Cincinnati offer. “I've been talking to coach (Antwon Jackson) and he seems like a good guy. I like Cincinnati.”
Good free article on Alston by Chad on 247. LINK |

I'll take him over Beasley. If he wasn't playing basketball seems this kid would still get academic scholarship from ivy league school.

Comments like this are why you rub people the wrong way. What info do you have for a comment like this? You remind me of my 14 year old brother in law who knows everything, just ask him.
