Looked good, while playing for Eric Gordon (AAU team), and led his team to victory. Exhibited good shooting from outside as well as ball-handling.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. -- Lawrence Central High School sophomore basketball player Jeremy Hollowell readily admits that he wasn't ready for the attention that came his way last summer. He flashed potential, a word often associated with his game.

Then college offers started rolling in. From Cincinnati. Illinois. Iowa. Ohio State. Indiana. Tennessee. Xavier. A laundry list of top programs in the Midwest.
But just getting offers, obviously, isn't enough. The on-court production is starting to match the promise.

"I think I'm more aggressive than I was," said the 6-6 Hollowell, who is playing this weekend with the 16-and-under Eric Gordon All-Stars at the Bill Hensley Memorial Run-N-Slam All-Star Classic. "I'm learning to use my body more to attack the basket. I'm a little more confident."

On a recent unofficial visit to Ohio State, Hollowell played in pick-up games with Ohio State star Evan Turner and in-coming Buckeyes recruit Jared Sullinger, one of the top prospects nationally in the 2010 class.

"I spent a lot of time with those guys," he said. "It was fun. Evan draws a lot of attention, so I got some open shots."
Hollowell admitted Ohio State might have a slight advantage in his recruitment because he lived in Cleveland in grade school.
"They might have a little edge because I'm from Ohio," he said. "But it's the same with Indiana, too. I'm still keeping it open."

Hollowell said he has plans to visit Illinois, Indiana and Xavier in the next two weeks. He said he likely won't make a decision until the summer before his senior season.
Hollowell's trip to Ohio State yielded some tips from Turner.
"He showed me some pull-up shots and talked about different things like court awareness," he said. "It was good to talk to him."

The state of Indiana has a ridiculous amount of talent in the 2012 class, and one of the best is Jeremy Hollowell. The Lawrence Central star completely took over his team's first playoff game for Eric Gordon. At 6-foot-6 with long arms, Hollowell is comfortable around the rim, and has a dead eye stroke from the outside. Also he rebounds very well, especially on the defensive end, and can handle the ball like a guard. In one stretch he simply put his team on his back and carried them to a close win.

Brief interview. He's asked specifically about his relationship with Crean and he talks about how much he likes Ohio State and his relationship to Evan Turner.

The EG Stars rolled with Lawrence Central's Jeremy Hollowell and Indianapolis North Central's Patrick Ingram getting 17 points apiece. Hollowell said he was "excited" about the call from Louisville coach Rick Pitino earlier in the week and said the Cardinals are a school "in the mix."

While Osborne showed the most improvement for the Eric Gordon Central Stars, the man for that team is Jeremy Hollowell. Everything on the court just comes so effortless for Hollowell that it almost looks like he is coasting at times. The 6-foot-6 wing has long arms, a great outside shot, and is now understanding mentally what it takes to be a big time player. On Saturday in an absolute dismantling for Eric Gordon, Hollowell was dominant when he wanted to be.

Jeremy Hollowell said he has offers from Indiana, Ohio State, Illinois, Tennessee, Xavier, Cincinnati, Iowa, and Indiana State. Also recently he fielded a call from Louisville.

Has a very good all around game. Handles the ball well from the SF position and can score inside, mid-range, and shoot the 3. Like his mental make up. He doesn't allow a bad stretch to take him out of his game. He has multiple high major offers.

The second half would be all Hollowell, and all Eric Gordon Central Stars. Hollowell came out early and missed his first shot, but after that he was a monster. He scored in transition, hit a pull up three, and then put the full offensive game on display. He finished using more athleticism than he had shown before above the rim, and also proved that he can score from all three levels on the floor.

The state of Indiana is loaded with wing talent in the class of 2012 and Hollowell is right near the top of the list. He's got excellent size at 6-foot-6, 195 pounds and he plays a balanced inside/outside game.

In addition to hearing from Tom Crean, Hollowell also heard from three new schools — Florida, Michigan and Southern Illinois — as well as Ohio State, Tennessee, Illinois, Xavier, Cincinnati, Indiana State and Miami (FL).

My guess is he is currently an Ohio State lean.

Very few players in the 2012 class can make things look easier than Hollowell. He is bordering on 6-foot-7, and simply there is nothing on a basketball floor he isn't capable of doing. Hollowell was super smooth on Tuesday, and while he didn't score a ton of points, he rebounded, blocked shots, dished out assists, and brought the ball up the floor. With him focused, he is a special talent, and he showed it during a big win over the Ohio Basketball Club.

The talented wing player is continuing his strong summer playing with the Eric Gordon 16u AAU team. I’d be lying if I said he was the most productive player on the circuit, but he just has so many tools to impact the game. He’s a legitimate 6’7, can handle the ball like a guard, and has the length to impact the glass as well. This weekend he was very aggressive off the dribble, taking opponents to the rim first and knocking down his shot second. He also showed off great athleticism, catching a couple ally-oop dunks and finishing some acrobatic lay ups.

He will decide between Ohio State and Indiana. Xavier is in his final 3 but he will be a Buckeye or Hoosier.

IMO, Hollowell probably has less than a 1% chance of coming to UC.

Lawrence Central junior Jeremy Hollowell still plans to visit Ohio State on Saturday for the Buckeyes' football game against Miami (Fla.), but he'll do it on crutches. The 6-7 Hollowell severely sprained his right ankle during a pickup game at his high school on Tuesday and will be on crutches for two weeks.

"I went up to block a pass or something and came down on it wrong," he said. "I can't put any pressure on it right now."

Hollowell is excited for the visit - "I've heard it's a really big game," he said - and the opportunity to meet up with former Ohio State All-American and NBA rookie Evan Turner, who has told him he'll be there. The Ohio State coaches have compared Hollowell's potential and style of game to Turner.

"We've got to be pretty good friends," Hollowell said. "He told me he'd see me there for the game. I hear LeBron (James) is supposed to be there, too."

After the Ohio State visit, Hollowell plans to visit Indiana on Sept. 18 with his mother. The swingman said he had recent phone conversation with IU coach Tom Crean about the visit and said Crean was still hoping to visit Thursday at open gym despite Hollowell's injury.

"He's a good guy," Hollowell said of Crean. "I've got to know him a little bit now and we talk about stuff, not just all about on the court."

Hollowell has said Indiana and Ohio State are his favorites, but he's not discounting other programs at this point. Though he doesn't have dates set, he said he'd also like to take unofficial visits to Cincinnati, Florida and Xavier and possibly Louisville.
