James White.

James White has put himself among the elite players in HS basketball with his high rise act and by showing that he is more than just a stellar athlete but a great basketball player to boot. James uses his 40+ inch verticle to soar over bigger opponents for rebounds and putbacks. He also has exceptional quickness to get out on the break and can finish with authority. His perimiter game (dribbling and outside shooting) has been improving dramatically. Watch out for this high riser as he will be coming soon to a TV set near you. Brick Oettinger of the Sporting News has dubbed him the "Gerald Wallace of the class of 2001

Strengths: Blessed with world class athleticism/leaping ability. Could win the NBA Slam Dunk Competition right now (although he couldn't even win the McDonald's HS Dunk competition thanks to fellow Gator recruit David Lee, and some questionable scoring). A track and field star. Very strong at taking players off the dribble, quick first step. Good touch on his jump shot. Has great potential.

Weaknesses: Still very raw. Jump shot and handle need refinement. Needs to get much stronger, improve defensively, gain consistency. May be tempted to leave after just one college season, but body, mind, and game look a couple years of college ball away from being NBA ready.

Notes - Blessed with unbelievable leaping ability. Can already hang in the clouds with the likes of Carter, Kobe, and MJ, and he's only 18. Give him a couple years and it could be scary. Can already dunk from behind the free throw line and go through his legs and dunk nonchalantly. A track star as well. Must get stronger and improve fundamentally. Potential is enormous.

Pretty sure he went to Cincinatti. Here are two more.
