Athletic pg who is a teammate of Shaq Thomas. Coach Savino was recruiting him at Rutgers. Has offers from Arizona, Oklahoma St., Seton Hall, Rutgers, Charlotte, St. John's and Iowa State. In an article in August it was said he had a UC offer but he does not at this time. He is on UC's radar though. Played well in the AAU Nationals in Orlando. Scored 26 points in the NYC Golden Hoops event mid-August. Tennessee, Maryland, Memphis and Louisville have also shown interest.

Kelvin Amayo

Kid is a straight beast, seen film on him and he reminds me physically of our old PG T. BARKER. for his thickness he is really explosive and can take the ball to the rim with contact. I dont know why he is not rated alot higher but think that he would be a solid backup recruit if the likes of Seagears decides to go elsewhere.

Nia Prep wing Kelvin Amayo is going to have every opportunity to play himself into high-major offers. A strong 6-foot-4 wing with loads of athleticism, he's a rugged and tough guy on the wing. If he can prove to be a consistent jump shooter, his recruiting will take off during the winter.

I know it appears we have stopped recruiting Amayo (and Anthony Hickey as well) since we're heavy on PG's now with the addition of Guyn and Davis but I think both are going to end up being very good players at the next level... Amayo has great size for the point and as with a lot of kids the year in prep school has really helped him.
