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.

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

Last season was his first on varsity. Jordan Coffey (6-1) is a pass-first point guard.

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
