UConn coach Jim Calhoun and Arkansas’ Mike Anderson were among the coaches watching 6-foot-11 Bradley “B.J.” Hayes Friday at the Pittsburgh JamFest.
North Carolina assistant C.B. McGrath was also there.
Hayes played limited minutes with the D12 Warriors because he is only playing two tournaments in April with the team before making his college decision and ended up with 6 points, 5 rebounds and 3 blocks in a 59-26 victory over Sam Rines. He was expected to start in the Saturday morning game against PYO.
“His potential is ridiculous,” D12 coach Carlos Morales told SNY.tv. “He’s 6-11, can run the floor, has good timing to block shots. He knows how to position himself on offense. He has great hands. He has a hook shot.
“In his first year in college he won’t dominate, but by his sophomore or junior year he’ll be a top player in his conference and I’m talking about a power six conference.
“He has a shot if he’s in the right situation to make it to the league.”
As first reported by SNY.tv, Hayes, out of Jacksonville (Fla.) Sandalwood, has cut his list to UConn, Georgetown, Florida and Texas A&M. Florida has yet to offer.
