Dream Vision standout Marcus LoVett was quite impressive on Saturday. The senior four-star point guard is capable on defense, positioning himself between the ball and his man to prevent a pass, but where he really shined was on offense.
The Chicago (Ill.) Morgan Park product is explosive but he did not force the issue if the opportunity was not there. If he could not drive, LoVett would back up a couple of steps and either probe the paint again or send the ball to a teammate. If he did get a good look at the rim, however, he flew to the rim with near reckless abandon. When the opposing defense adjusted and brought an extra defender to stop him, LoVett found the open man, sometimes with a little flare added onto the pass; his high-speed passes sometimes surprised even his teammates.
The senior LoVett reported that there was no new interest or offers in his recruitment. He currently holds offers from DePaul, San Diego State, Illinois, UCLA and UC Irvine. He does not have any plans for official visits. He said that a commitment could come at any time but the point guard was unsure if he would announce before the end of the upcoming spring signing.
Five-star center Jarrett Allen was easy to spot when Texas PRO played Mass Rivals on Saturday night: He was the big man that Mass Rivals had to hold by the jersey to prevent him from scoring in the paint.
At 6-foot-10 and 210 pounds, Allen is bigger and stronger than most kids his age; when he packs on some serious muscle he will be a load in the paint. He used his size against Mass Rivals to position himself down low either on box outs or on offense. Despite his size Allen showed a soft touch in the paint but when he needed to he asserted himself with his strength. He also was extremely reliable from the free throw line for a big man.
Allen, the No. 17 player in the 2016 class, attracted a throng of coaches, including new Texas head coach Shaka Smart, decked out in a burnt orange polo and a new Longhorn backpack.
Along with Texas, Allen told Rivals.com that Baylor and Kansas State are the schools recruiting him the hardest and both programs sent representatives to watch the rising-senior. Allen reported no new offers in addition to those three schools and SMU, Houston, Kansas and TCU. Coaches from West Virginia, Kentucky, San Diego State, Maryland and St. John's were among the schools watching Allen Saturday.
Bailey, a four-star forward, decommitted from ASU on March 25 after head coach Herb Sendek was fired. Bailey plans on taking his time in recruitment but he told Rivals.com that he was open to returning to Arizona State after the Hurley hire.
"I don't know much about him (Bobby Hurley)" Bailey said. "I know that he's a great guy, I know that he knows a lot about the game so I guess I'll just have to get to know him a little bit more and see where it goes from there."
The Highland (Utah) American Fork product told Rivals.com that San Diego State offered him during an unofficial visit in March. That is the only offer Bailey received after he reopened his recruitment but he reported that "the whole Pac-12 and a couple other schools back east" had made contact with him.
Before the Rivals150 forward's original commitment to ASU, Bailey held offers from Tulsa, Utah, BYU and Southern Utah. Coaches from San Diego State, N.C. State, Louisville, Oregon, Memphis, Cincinnati, Wyoming, Oregon State, Connecticut and Wisconsin all watched Bailey earlier Saturday in a win over Florida Sons.
In that game Bailey showed explosiveness that made him dangerous when off the ball and cutting to the rim. He made his shots from midrange and ran hard up and down the court, providing the motor in Dream Vision's attack and defense.
Johnny McWilliams has been fearless all weekend. On Friday, McWilliams quickly returned to action after sustaining a cut on his eyelid. The cut would later need stitches but that did not stop McWilliams from flying toward the rim or getting physical with his man on defense. The 2016 San Marco (Calif.) small forward reports offers from Washington State, Fresno State, Pepperdine, Cal State Fullerton and Cal Poly and interest from Arizona State and New Mexico.
From July 2014: It won't be long before Johnny McWilliams has some scholarship offers. According to McWilliams, he has yet to pick up a scholarship offer but he has started to hear from USC (where his father played his college football), Utah, Arizona State, Vanderbilt, San Diego State, California and many other west coast programs.

I sited the source (Rivals) in the head-line and pulled out a few key paragraphs as they related to SDSU from today's lengthy story. It's not paid subscriber content, it's public info. I really didn't think it was much of an issue, besides good info for all to read. I didn't intentionally break the rules. Personally, I thought it is ok if we site the source? No?

You're not making any money by reporting, there are no damages that could be fathomed by even the most pricey lawyer, and on top of it all Fair Use applies pretty obviously.
I don't know the rules for this forum, but they often delete block quotes to prevent headaches.
There was another one of these boards that got shut down because of frivolous legal action - legit or not, all some idiot has to do is be upset and have an extra thousand bucks or two and madness ensues. But to directly address the claims above... At worst, you are violating forum rules and the gestapo will soon be along to censor.
And that's how I met Dicky Mettenberger. Horrible agent, but a beautiful man.

The issue is sponsored content. The writers are professional, paid reporters. The open parts of premium sites are paid for by advertising which uses unique site visits as it's metric. Wholesale lifting of articles like our OP has done offered no incentive for the reader to visit the site further and the Rivals operator and author are denied compensation for their content.
You can love your internet anarchy but in time, people need to be paid and they'll just wall off sites behind premium access to make their money.
What is so hard to pen the gist and provide a link? No one gets hurt and content remains free.

See my last. Pulling a couple lines out doesn't answer that you wholesale copied entire content and no, putting the word "rivals" in a subject line isn't sufficient. Oh, and it is "cite" or "cited" a source. It is paid content and not public info. While available in the public domain, it is copyrighted and paid for by advertising, generated through site visits.

So will let those of you practicing law take care of the "issue" . for Aztec followers what are the coaches chances of getting commit from Allen , Bailey , Narain , Cage ?

So I have a question then...
Aztec Mesa is supported by advertising or by direct subscription in order to remove the ads...
I post content on AM (which therefore makes my comments copyrighted by inference)...if someone uses my direct comments and/or opinions verbatim on another site (say the "Lobo Lair" for instance)...is that person then infringing upon my copyrights?
How are my comments protected?...
Is it a matter of whether or not I get paid for writing my comments on AM? (not sure why that should matter in terms of copyright laws)...
Isn't non-subscription content considered "open-source"...if not...anyone could sue anyone at anytime for "lifted content"
There are only two infinite quantities known to exist...the expanding universe and human stupidity...and I'm not so sure about the first one...

Everything on Aztec Mesa is free, not the same at rivals (or scout), providing a little snipbit is fine but copying big paragraphs word for word of money content is not
