Fab 48: Five-star Brunson shines in Vegas

RANKINGS: Class of 2014 - 2015 - 2016

LAS VEGAS -- The third and final July open evaluation period kicked off on Wednesday night. While there are events all across the country, nowhere has more teams and events than the city of Las Vegas. On opening night, Rivals.com checked in on the Fab 48, where five-star point guard Jalen Brunson did his thing; Matt McQuaid talked his decommitment from SMU; and Deandre Ayton celebrated his 16th birthday and showed why he will likely start off at No. 1 in the rankings for the class of 2017.

Brunson to set visits in August

For much of the last four months, Jalen Brunson has been engaged in a battle with Isaiah Briscoe to hold the honor as top point guard in the class of 2015. Briscoe currently holds a slight edge checking in at No. 13 overall, while Brunson slides in at No. 15 in the Rivals150.

While leading his Mac Irvin Fire squad to a come-from-behind win over Belmont Shore, the compact 6-foot-1 floor general showed exactly why he is so highly regarded.

A master of changing speeds, using hesitations and mixing up his left and right hand, Brunson is a high skill level point guard. He isn't an elite athlete, but he plays fast and is powerful off the drive and as a defender where he really knows how to use his physicality.

Brunson plugged along having a solid game and then helped to take over late. He drained smooth looking threes, got into the lane at will and then turned up the pressure defensively. Belmont Shore started throwing the ball all over the place, and like a shark sensing blood in the water, Brunson attacked to finish with 27 points and the win.

One of the most heavily recruited players in the country, Brunson will look to narrow things down and set up visits soon.

"I think that I will probably use two or three official visits," Brunson said. "I don't know who I will for sure visit yet, but I will be deciding that in the first week of August."

Michigan State's Tom Izzo and Illinois' John Groce were among the head coaches Rivals.com was able to spot in the crowd along with assistants from Kansas, Michigan and Temple.

McQuaid discusses de-commitment from SMU

On Sunday, four-star shooting guard Matthew McQuaid shook things up when he announced that he would back off his commitment from SMU. Given that he is a local product and plays at Duncanville (Texas) High, the fit seemed like a good one.

However, the No. 87 player in the class of 2015 decided that he had pulled the trigger on a commitment too soon and opened things back up.

Wednesday nigh, McQuaid got off to a hot start for Nike Team Texas hitting three quick threes before cooling off a bit as his team fell to New Heights in the night's opening game.

"I felt like I needed to take a step back and compare my options," said McQuaid. "I'm still considering SMU, though."

While it wasn't an easy call to make, McQuaid said that Mustangs coach Larry Brown took the news pretty well.

"Coach Brown's reaction was one of understanding my decision," said McQuaid. "He was upset that I de-committed but he understood my reasons why."

Since he opened things up, Baylor, Creighton (the entire staff Jays' was watching on Wednesday) and Texas have resumed their pursuit of McQuaid and have offered. Indiana (head coach Tom Crean was on hand with an assistant) and LSU (Johnny Jones and two assistants watched) have offered as well. North Carolina and Villanova have also gotten involved but haven't yet offered.

McQuaid said that the programs previously involved may have a leg up but that he has no real timetable to make a choice and is in no rush to make a second decision.

Morrow getting visits in place

While Brunson was the leading scorer for the Mac Irvin Fire on Wednesday night, 6-foot-7 power forward Edward Morrow provided plenty of interior toughness.

The 6-foot-7 listing might even be a bit generous, but with his long arms, strong shoulders and bouncy athleticism, Morrow plays pretty big. Near the rim he tries to dunk everything and he has very good hands. He rebounds, he does dirty work and the No. 104 player in 2015 makes plays that help teams win games.

Morrow downplayed his effort saying that he was sluggish from traveling earlier in the day, but in the eyes of Rivals.com he played plenty well.

Morrow is also in the process of setting up official visits.

"I have two that I'm going to take to Iowa and Nebraska," said Morrow. "I haven't got the dates set yet but I'm visiting them. I'll pick more from the other schools recruiting me.

The other schools that have offered and are in the running for Morrow are Minnesota, SMU, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Florida State, Virginia, Virginia Tech and La Salle.

Watching Skal LabissiereClick Wednesday night notes and newsHere to view this Link. on Wednesday night, we realized that we may need to start looking at him a bit differently. In the past, we have evaluated the near seven-footer as a center because of his shot blocking ability and a frame that can carry more weight to bang. Soft touch has just been a bonus. Wednesday, though, Labissiere looked like a legitimate power forward with a high level of skill facing the bucket. He hit one pretty jumper after another between 12 and 17 feet, created space off the dribble and attacked the offensive glass.

Truth be told, he had a very advantageous matchup for much of the night, and he has to have more consistent efforts like Wednesday's. But, it is pretty clear that Labissiere has all of the tools to make money at the highest level. Memphis head coach Josh Pastner was prominently watching.Here to view this Link.. Thin and quick, McBrayer loves to pull up for threes in transition and he can get to the hole.

Balboa City and with Supreme Court, the class of 2017 stud celebrated his 16th birthday on Wednesday. His team suffered a tough loss to the Las Vegas Prospects, but Ayton was more than impressive. Ayton isn't just a quick leaper, he is freakishly quick given his size and age period. He follows plays to conclusion -- for instance, he made a great pass to a teammate out of the high post and instead of celebrating the pass he busted his tail to the rim and dunked home the missed shot -- and has exceptional reaction time as a defender. Everything about Ayton is big-time and barring a major change, he will be No. 1 in the first class of 2017 rankings later this summer.
