Penn just offered Fischer Brown, 6'5" SG from Montana, who moved for his senior season to Utah and Wasatch Academy, one of the top basketball prep schools around. They play a very big time schedule.

Credit for this and several of the other recruits in the freshman and incoming class should go to Kris Saulny who seems to be out there making a difference for Penn.

After watching his video (probably sophomore or junior year?), he reminds me a bit of Jerry Simon. Very wiry, a slightly funny looking shot, but with some ability to knock it down. His ball handling didn't look as good as Simon. He at least should be able to hit his free throws, as he was involved in FT shooting contests as a kid.

Dukes ended the regular season at 23-7, but Levine has been fantastic throughout. In some games, he has scored around 50% of the total team points or more.;
Class 4A playoffs begin for York on Wednesday night. They are seeded 2nd in their section. Win it, and they are in the Sweet Sixteen.

Blowout win for York in first round IHSA 4A playoffs. I watched some of this--AJ Levine sat out big stretches in the second half. Next round is on Friday night.

Here's the game tape. Even just watching the first quarter gives a decent sense of Levine's game. He can play--and what a motor. #3 in white.

He clearly knows how to play the game. I agree about his motor - no standing with him. If he can sharpen his three point shooting off the dribble, he will be good. I still ask about his level of competition...

His team is 4A. That’s the big boy level in Illinois, only for the biggest schools.
They have played some very tough teams this year in and out of conference, teams that are Top 16 or higher within the entire state.
The level of competition has not seemed to have effected Levine’s level of play. He has been a significant contributor game in and game out.

Another big game from AJ Levine as York won its regionals last night:

Next up: Sectional Semis on Wednesday night. Definitely a step up in competition.

The rating agency talks about his defense. Wouldn't that be nice if it translates to college?

From what I've seen of his play, he has a nice all-around game. Very active on both sides of the court.

Levine's York Dukes up at the half over Batavia, 24-18. Levine leads all scorers with 11 points (including an impressive dunk on the break) and has been all over the court dishing out assists, making steals and running the offense.
Here's the link if you want to follow the rest of the game.

Gets hurt on the first offensive possession of the half on a drive (blocking call). Has to be subbed out as he was limping.
Looks like he will be checking in soon, but he is still limping.

He is clearly somewhat hobbled, but just hit a deep 3, for the first points by either squad of the second half, 27-18 with 5 minutes plus to play in the 3rd.

34-28 after 3. Levine with 16 and it looks like he's recovered. Batavia has some absolute bombers from 3, but York is a very, very good defensive team that generates loads of turnovers, and Levine is right in the thick of that action.
