Magic Memorial Day: Matt Bradley has major game, more notes

ORANGE, Calif. -- Completing a full weekend in Southern California, Rivals.com made a Monday stop at the Compton Magic Memorial Day event and four-star Matt Bradley of Team Eleate made big noise. More on him and some others from Monday's action.

There isn't a more under recruited player in the class of 2018 than four-star combo guard Matt Bradley of Team Eleate. A big-time scorer with strength, skill, athleticism and high-level grades, Bradley somehow doesn't have a single high major offer.

The lack of offers from big-name programs doesn't seem to be bothering the powerfully built rising senior. He spent Monday abusing anybody who attempted to defend him with drives to the rim, pull-up jumpers and by using his strength advantage.

"I feel like I probably go into the weight room more than any other hooper out here," Bradley told Rivals.com. "I feel like my strength is a plus because I can overpower whoever guards me and then I have my shot behind that to back things up and it makes me feel like I'm unguardable out there.

"They have to pick their poison. Either they are going to play me close and I'm going to drive or they can play off of me and I'm going to shoot it."

Bradley isn't totally without scholarship offers. San Diego State, Nevada, UTEP, UCSB (where he plans to take an unofficial visit soon), UC Irvine and Cal State Northridge have offered. There isn't any question that he can play at the Pac-12 level, though, and Bradley said California, Washington, USC and some others have been keeping in touch.

"Right now I'm just worried about going to a school where I can find the best fit," said Bradley. "If it's not one of those big schools I know that wherever I go I will do my best to make them better just like those other players who have gone to mid-majors and made things better and gone on to do big things."

* The work put in by 2018 wing Timmy Allen of the Compton Magic to get himself into top shape hasn't gone unnoticed. The results are evident with his improved explosion and ability to hound players defensively. Carrying offers from UCLA, USC, UC Irvine, Utah, California, Lehigh, Iowa State, Arizona State, Nebraska, Creighton and Grand Canyon, Allen has put himself in position for a run at the Rivals150.

* Five-star combo guard Quentin Grimes had things rolling on the offensive end making several pull-up jumpers and finishing strong at the rim. Grimes told Rivals.com that he hopes to cut his list down to eight in the near future. Though Grimes didn't really want to get into specifics just yet, speculation has been that Arizona, Baylor, Kansas, Kentucky, Texas and Texas A&M are among those positioned well.

* Mid and upper end mid-majors looking for a late option at the shooting guard spot may want to take a look at senior Luis Rodriguez from Los Angeles (Calif.) Westchester. Rodriguez has good 6-foot-4 size, is a nice athlete and can shoot well from deep.

* A four-star prospect in the class of 2019, combo guard Jaelen House is a scorer who can get hot quick. He's not the biggest guard around, but he's very confident with his pull-up jumper and gets to the spots he needs to find for open looks. Not surprisingly, Arizona State -- where his father Eddie House went before a long NBA career -- has offered a scholarship

* Another young player from Arizona to keep an eye on is shooting guard Dalen Terry. Terry is 6-foot-4 with long arms, a good looking shot and ability off the dribble. He's currently lacking strength but looks like a prospect to watch.

* After getting another look at combo guard Logan Johnson, we feel that he'll end up with some high major offers before summer's end. He's probably more of a natural two guard, but the tools to play point guard for extended stretches are there and he can create off the dribble. Fresno State (where his brother Tyler Johnson of the Miami Heat played), St. Mary's, Santa Clara, Utah State and others have offered while several Pac-12 schools are tracking him closely.
