The 16’s that George speaks of include some BIG players on the AAU scene, but none may be bigger than 7-foot-4 Sim Bhullar. The mountain of a young man attends the Kiski School near Pittsburgh (PA). While many people point out what Bhullar can not do and the project that he still is, George knows there is plenty of skill and time to put it all together.

“He’s 7′4 and is only 16 going on 17 so there’s a lot of time to figure it all out,” said George. “He has great hands, his IQ is very high and he makes the right play, he passes very well, he kicks it out when it’s not there and re-posts, he doesn’t force anything and he’s 7′4 so of course schools are going to be interested!”

Three schools that George mentioned with Bhullar were Cincinnati, West Virginia and Georgetown as being the most involved to this point in his recruitment. No doubt more will come along as Bhullar progresses and George definitely believes he is coming along.

Big Three Leave Kiski Prep

By: Pittsburgh Basketball Report


7'4" Sim Bhullar, 7'2" Tanveer Bhullar, and 6'10" Stefan Jankovic, have been unenrolled at The
Kiski School, in Saltsburg, PA. Their reason for leaving is undisclosed. Talking to Sim last evening,
his statement was that he and Stefan Jankovic will be attending Huntington Prep in West Virginia,
while there is a chance Tanveer Bhullar will be attending Montrose Christian in Maryland.

The unenrollment was a shock to the Kiski School community, as all three had been doing
extremely well since their arrival at the Kiski School. The Bhullar brothers especially, really made
their name during their time at the Kiski School. Before coming to the Kiski School, they were still
considered "projects" by most of the Division 1 recruiting world. While he already stood at 7 feet,
the older Bhullar was not even selected by the top AAU team in Canada before coming to the Kiski
School. Their body and skill levels improved with each month here in the US. While there is
definitely still much improvement needed, Sim currently holds offers from schools like Georgetown,
West Virginia, and Pitt, and Tanveer as a sophomore already has an offer from Seton Hall. The
press and promotion that the brothers have received is uncanny, and most of it came because
they were together at the same school. From the first article that was written for SLAM last
November, to the most recent article in the Pittsburgh Tribune Review, there have been hundreds
of online and hard copy news sources that have covered the brother's story. Now with Tanveer
and Sim splitting up at different schools, the story diminishes.

Stefan Jankovic also flourished during his time at the Kiski School. Going from a player that was
not even on most recruiting radars, to now being a top 100 player in the country. He recently
received offers from Wake Forest, Northwestern, Seton Hall, and sources say Penn State. His
improved maturity and shooting, along with his long frame and athleticism should make Stefan a
top 50 player in the country when it is all said and done.

Most Division 1coaches that I have spoken to in the past 24 hours have showed major shock and
concern with the move. The common thought is, what benefit would it be for the three to leave?
The Big three were at a one of the best academic institutions in the country. Kiski Prep currently
has a 10-1 record which included 2 big wins in the Prep Showcase in Connecticut last week, and
has a national schedule including a game with South Kent this Friday. Sim was averaging about 25
pts and 12 rpg, and Stefan was averaging about 17 pts and 8 rpg. Tanveer was continuously
improving, as he is still a young 15 year old in a 7'2" body. All three saw their recruiting picking up
and flourishing. So what was the reason for leaving? Either way, Kiski Prep is left with a very
different team, but still very talented team.

Kiski's roster still includes, point guard Jonathan Ward-Adams who has signed with Navy, combo
guard Brandon Bos who is receiving Atlantic 10 interest, and 6'8' Casey Carroll who holds offers
from Rice, Duquesne, Robert Morris, Youngstown State, and St. Bonaventure. They have 6'7"
junior Andrew Van Camp, and a loaded sophomore class that includes 6'2" point guard Major
Canady who has an offer already from Duquesne. The sophomore class also includes 6'4" Corey
Stanford and 6'2" Phil Nichols, both are also receiving Division 1 interest already. Other juniors
and seniors include 5'11" point guard Jason Sebak, 5'11" guard Mike Fitzgerald, 5'11 Cody Patton,
6'3" Judd Thorton, and 6'5" Tyler Burkhart. The Kiski School will be still be playing its national
schedule, and is prepared to compete the same way.
 
Sources say he and his brother are likely headed to Huntington Prep in WV. It would be nice if JD could get in his ear. The downside is one of his schools of interest is West Virginia. We could be building a pipeline to Huntington Prep. Bhullar would make 4 recruits with UC interest there.

Tanveer likely to Montrose Christian in Maryland. Recent alums include Yarou and Armwood of 'Nova....and a 7'2" monster that is going to USF.

If I had to choose one it'd be be between Negus and Jaylen.

I doubt I'd want this Bullar kid. Takes him 10 minutes to get up and down the court. Decent footwork, not sure about his hands which is very important for someone his size.

Though I wanted Jaylen before UC is very guard heavy now and need to use their scholies on big men.

Unless they can get a elite PG in the 2012 class, I doubt they will take one. Getting big men is a much higher priority. I'd love to have another true PG but they are way too thin on the front line.

They need quality bigs too. Mick has been recruiting to a style he wants to play. Personally I think Guyn is going to surprise people. Davis is still more of a combo but will have a couple years to continue to grow. Ellis is way to thin at this point. Gaines and Jackson will be here as well. They will sign somebody this spring imo. I can agree with getting a top tier pg and going with bigs, but they will look at the pg position make no mistake.

Without a doubt they will look at PG's but my guess is they take only bigs unless a elite PG (not sure how good Jaylen will end up being) is for the taking. They wouldn't take Guyn and Davis unless they think Guyn has a future at PG so I think they feel bigs will be more important than PG. JMO though.
 
Sim Bhullar, C, Huntington- The massive big man generates wildly varying opinions of him as a down-the-road prospect. Saturday, the junior was effective in putting up 13 points, 15 rebounds and blocking eight shots. He's neither speedy nor a skywalker, but he does have outstanding hands, relatively soft touch and some skill for which he hasn't received much credit. Really good day for the big man.
