Ballislife UTR Featured Player - WEEK 2

Name: Kyrie Armstrong
Schoo: Compton high school
Height: 6'1

Kyrie is a multi talented guard. Playing alongside Demar Derozan and finding him on so many alley oop dunks, Kyrie was a very unselfish player. He can shoot well off the catch and shoot and has improved a lot on his off the dribble shot from both sides. His athleticism and ballhandling skills make it easy for him to blow by defenders. In a pivotal game against Gahr High school in the playoffs, Derozan was being double and triple teamed, Armstrong rose to the occasion. He scored 25 points in the game, and was key to Comptons staying within striking distance in the first half, which then paved the way for Derozan. Kyrie has shown a tremendous amount of heart on the court and a willingness to do what it takes to win, and deserves some attention!

Ballislife UTR Featured Player - WEEK 1

Name: Mike Bostic
School: Colony High School
Height: 6'8"
Position: Forward/Center
Strengths: Great shot blocker around the basket, EXTREMELY athletic, ability to finish around the basket.
Weaknesses: Needs to work on his shot, can get lazy sometimes.

We first saw Mike at the pangos End Of The Trail tournament last summer when he was playing for the LA Stars. We didn't even know who he was and we were there to watch the Stars' point guard Kyrie Armstrong. In their first game Mike bostic got 5 dunks in the first half alone and we were impressed by his athletisism so we kept him under our radar. Mike played well for the rest of the tournament and was selected to all team for the tournament.
