Jeff Halbert Continues To Impress
LAKE BUENA VISTA, FLORIDA -- Jeff Halbert, a cerebral 6-5, 205 pound small forward from White Bear Lake H.S. in White Bear Lake, Minn., continues to impress the Insiders Report with his summer play.
Halbert helped his team win a game yesterday when we watched him with Team Minnesota. Before the National AAU tournament, the Insiders Report watched Halbert last month when he had a terrific weekend at the Rumble in the Bronx held on the campus of Fordham University.

Halbert helped his team win the Rumble in the Bronx with a dramatic overtime victory over the Riverside Church program. Halbert has also been special at other tournaments including the competitive St. Louis Eagles Invitational.
Halbert was named all-tournament and helped lead the Howard Pulley Panthers Blue squad to the title game of the event. Pulley lost to Boo Williams in the final.
Halbert has an excellent understanding of the game of basketball. He shoots the ball well, especially from mid-range, and is an alert passer. He has the ability to hurt defenses in many ways.
Halbert told us he is still open but has heard from Connecticut, Minnesota, New Mexico, Bowling Green, Kent State, Central Michigan, William & Mary, Drake, and Northern Iowa.
As a junior this past season, Halbert averaged 22 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. He said he has a 3.3 GPA and has achieved a qualifying score on the SAT exam.
