    • Memphis, Recruiting

    By ADAM ZAGORIA

    Trendon Watford, the 6-foot-9 multi-positional forward from Mountain Brook (AL) High School, took an official visit to Memphis this past weekend, the first of several he has planned in the coming months.

    “This was my second time on campus with the new staff and just being able to see them practice and seeing the Memphis Madness, it was pretty much a great visit,” Watford said Monday by phone.

    James Wiseman, the No. 1 prospect in the Class of 2019, was also at the Midnight Madness event before going to the USA Basketball minicamp that began Friday in Colorado Springs, Colo. Boogie Ellis and Jahmius Ramsey were also at Memphis on officials, while Precious Achiuwa and DJ Jeffries were there on unofficials.

    Asked if he talked to them about playing together, Watford said, “Me and James, we definitely talked about it. We played together in July [in AAU], so me, him and Boogie have talked about it.”

    The last time Bryan Antoine and Scottie Lewis were at a USA Basketball minicamp, they were both uncommitted and they were both cut.

    Antoine and Lewis were cut this summer from the team that went on to win the gold medal at the FIBA U18 Americas Championship in St. Catharines, Ontario.

    Now, both players out of the Ranney (N.J.) School and Team Rio have already chosen their future college destinations and are more focused at USA Basketball minicamp in Colorado Springs, Colo.

    “When you’re uncommitted it can be a distraction,” Antoine told USA Today. “Just with constantly texting coaches back and having to think about where you want to go. It’s different. I like it this way better.”
