Nafeese Hampton, 6′ 5″ F has agreed to play for Milwaukee Tech JC beginning in the 2012. Hampton displayed a go hard attitude and toughness in the 2012 Philly Shootout that will go along way in college basketball. Milwaukee Tech runs a very good program and plays a very tough schedule. We are sure Hampton will fit in well with the program.
Former Bartram star pg Gary Gordon has committed to Northwest College (Div 1 juco) in Wyoming. Gordon visited the school in April and impressed the coaching staff with his skill set and energy.

Keel is a 6′ 4″ wing that displays a tremendous amount of versatility. He is a high flyer with a good outside touch. We expect him to keep developing as a player and has huge upside. He will be playing with the RunHouse team in the Positive Image Spring League.

Shaquille Bowman, Esperanza HS, was selected as the MVP of the Philadelphia Public League Div C this past season. Standing at 6′ 6″ the multi talented forward can do alot of things out on the court. What I like most about his game is his ability to pass from either the post or the wing. This goes along with his 17.5 ppg and 15 rpg. Bowman will be a member of our RunHouse team that will play in the very competitive Positive Image Leage for the Spring 2012 season.
