His recruitment is definitely taking off, with Peters listing the likes of “Virginia, Virginia Tech, Xavier, St. Joe’s, Cincinnati and UMass” having tendered scholarship offers. Schools such as Georgetown, Texas, Clemson, Maryland and Tennessee have shown and are showing interest.

Of the BIG EAST, Peters noted he likes it, “they play my style – penetrating guards.” Stylistically he presently likes an up tempo arrangement, as most young guys do – but is open to explore all playing approaches. He also understands the necessity of embracing half court basketball to further his professional possibility.

Whether Peters becomes a pro, only time will tell. But it’s a good assumption with his development he will be a good college player, one that can make an impact at a program. Expect to find out where he lands sometime in the fall.

Roddy Peters lists MD, Gtown, Tenn, Ill, TX, Memphis, Cincy, St. J's, UVA, VT, Pitt, Xavier & Clemson & will cut his list to 5-7 after AAU.

Personally don't see us taking Peters because of other needs but he has blown up lately so maybe they'll continue to recruit him.

It was actually at last summer's inaugural Breakout Challenge that Peters first put himself on the map. The 6-foot-4 point guard displayed his crafty game reliant on changes of speed and out-thinking opponents. Because of his performance, he made his way into the bottom end of the Rivals150 for the class of 2013. Ever since, the Suitland (Md.) High product has been on the rise.

Now a four-star prospect and ranked No. 100 in his class, Peters is going to be climbing again when the rankings get updated after the summer. One could make the argument that outside of the heavily touted and highly proven Andrew Harrison, the rising senior was the best playmaker in attendance. If his team needed him to get buckets off the dribble, he did that. If he needed to create for others, then he did that too. All the while he was under control, showed improved athleticism and an even better feel for using changes of speed to keep defenders on their heels.

So far Peters, who would like to narrow his focus after the summer, reports offers from Xavier - whose head coach Chris Mack followed his every move - Temple, Cincinnati, Virginia Tech, Virginia, Rutgers and Illinois. Also tracking him are Maryland, Georgetown, Texas and Memphis.

"I just came into camp like I did last year," said Peters. "I know that if I do what I'm supposed to do that the rest will take care of itself."
