17. Detroit Edison (18-5), C: Coach Bo Neely brings all of his players back and will add a freshman to the mix. Dreyon O’Neal (6-5) might crack the starting lineup, too. Junior William Weem (6-8) is a strong rebounder and a terrific shot blocker. Two sophomores are outstanding. Deante Johnson (6-7) is a wirery player who will play the wing and, at times, inside. David DeJulius (6-0) is a point guard extraordinaire. Senior Ed Carter III (6-3) will be eligible in January because of the transfer rule and another senior, Marcus Johnson (6-3) might start. Neely said he could start as many as 10 players. Another is junior Jamal Keese, a 6-2 junior. - State Champs

 

Detroit Edison Public School Academy (17-6) DEPSA won the toughest Class C district in the state last March and with a very young team and new coach.  A year’s experience will improve their chances of getting past the regional where their game season ended last season.  Like Allen, Loyola, and Pershing they’ll first need to get out of District 73.  Point guard Dave Dejulius is arguably the top point guard in the state’s sophomore class.  Junior forward Will Weems is on his way to Division 1 offers. - IPS Basketball

16. Saginaw (15-6), A: Three starters return for the Trojans and coach Julian Taylor has a good mix of seniors and juniors. Eddie Thigpen (6-5) is a left-handed junior who averaged eight points and eight rebounds. Junior Ronquavis Southard (6-0) is a long-range shooter who averaged 20 points and eight assists. The others three starters are expected to be seniors. Jalen Davis (6-1) is an off guard who averaged nine points and is the leader on defense. Expect Terrance Crumpton (6-7) to show much improvement. Last season was his first on varsity. Jordan Coffey (6-1) is a pass-first point guard. Barrion Adams is the top reserve in the backcourt and the X-factor could well be junior Henry Stieghts (6-4), a transfer from Carrollton who will be eligible in January.   - State Champs

 

The Trojans won four straight district titles- with a state championship and state semifinal appearance - before seeing that streak snapped last season in Arthur Hill's run to the finals. Ronquavious Southward returns a year after being one of the team's most experienced players as a sophomore. The junior now has college recruiters on his heels and the Trojans also welcome Dream Team forward and fellow junior Henry Speight, who transferred from Carrollton. - Mlive.com
