Emmanuel Mudiay - Dallas product and 6-foot 4-inch combo guard Emmanuel Mudiay impressed with 15 points. At this level, Mudiay already backs down smaller guards with power, while showing plenty of finesse running the point. Now, imagine what legendary coach Larry Brown can do with him at Southern Methodist University. Watch out now... (Photo: Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)

Theo Pinson - Theo Pinson, a 6-foot 6-inch swing man from Greensboro, North Carolina, chose some home cooking by signing with the University of North Carolina. He has a solid mid-range game with ability to finish on drives to the hoop. Not only does he get to stay home, but he'll get to ball alongside Justin Jackson. North Carolina, come on, and raise up!(Photo: Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)
