We first introduced you to 6’4” WG,
Rowan Barrett Jr. & 6'0"
PG Andrew Nembhard earlier this year; advising that each of them were tops at
their respective positions and two of the top players nationally. Well these two teammates on the Brampton
Warriors have furthered their alliance and as well, their national profile.
Barrett
and Nembhard together led their province squad; Team Quebec to the 2014 15U
Gold Medal in dominating fashion – further cementing their status as not only
tops in the US but also in their home country of Canada. Nembhard reported played a phenomenal floor
game and performed admirably as the consummate lead guard; running the team,
setting up teammates, and scoring when the opportunity presented itself. Nembhard who we have compared to county man
Tyler Ennis continues to impress each time he takes the floor. His stock continues to rise and he will
without question be in the conversation September 15th as not only
one of the nation’s top PG’s, but potentially also one of its top overall
players.
The
meteoric rise if Barrett continues to the sweep the land as he vies to become
the #1 player in the class of 2019.
Nothing he did in the recent tournament detracted from this mission;
Barrett scored at will throughout the event cumulating with a 37-point outburst
in the Championship game which Quebec dominated from start to finish coasting
to a 93-53 victory in the finals. For
the tournament Barrett also average 7.0 rebounds per game and shot an eye popping
62% from the field.
These
two players are joys to watch as they approach and play the game like young
pro’s; their IQ’s as well as their skill set both operate on an elite
level. Each is a humble hard worker and
each continues to impress improving aspects and areas of their games that are
visibly apparent each time they are viewed and evaluated. Each of these players receives the “P2 Future
Star Guarantee”; the ultimate seal of approval for future stardom.
In
other news; the possibility of Barrett playing High School ball in the state remains
an open possibility in the opinion of P2bball.com. Currently the reports out of Canada state
that Barrett has recently enrolled in St.
Marcellinus Secondary School in Mississauga and in turn due to complaints from
unidentified/unconfirmed sources the Ontario Federation of School Athletics
Association and the affiliate Region of Peel Secondary Schools Athletic
Association will bar St. Marcellinus from competition for a period of 4-years. This ban would result in the school and Barrett
Jr. being unable to compete in any OFSAA or ROPSAA sanctioned competitions –
this league and these events make up the countries toughest high school
circuit.
Canada and this governing body specifically
has done this in the past to other high level players; the result? Many have chosen to relocate and play their ball
in the states as they seek to compete on the highest level available. Again there has been no confirmation on this
and a Barrett Jr. move to the states would at this point, simply be
speculation; P2bball and staff will continue to monitor this situation as it
progresses and will report as more information becomes available – as calls to
the institution to date have not been returned.
Interest from High Schools within the United States already exist with
Barrett Jr’s continued ascension to the top of national boards will only
increase the demand and desire for his services.
