• Jerrett takes game to new level

Grant Jerrett (La Verne, Calif./Lutheran) continues to display why he is considered one of the elite prospects in the country and at the Pangos Summer Tip Off he took his game to yet another level. Although the 6-foot-8, 195-pound power forward gets limited touches playing with two players that dominate the ball, point guard Cezar Guerrero (Bellflower, Calif./Saint John Bosco) and power forward DeAndre Daniels (Woodland Hills, Calif./ William Howard Taft), he was still able to make a number of impressive plays. Due to his added strength, he is now finishing with force around the rim. In addition, he made a number of nifty passes in tight situations to open teammates. It's still early on in the recruiting process, but the No. 25-ranked player in the Super 60 has received a significant amount of interest already. "UCLA, USC, Arizona, Arizona State, Washington, Oregon State, Gonzaga, UNLV, and Fresno State have all offered," said Jerrett, who has no favorites. "I just want to continue to work on getting stronger and developing my overall game."The Class of 2011 on the West Coast is mediocre at best with a limited amount of bigs available. However, the Class of 2012 has a much better collection of prospects that can affect the paint area at both ends. While Brandon Ashley (Oakland, Calif./Bishop O' Dowd) has received most of the notoriety of this group, don't be surprised if Jarrett trumps them all when it's all said and done.
