A New Number 1

In the world of hoops there really is no down time. Even during the off season the team rankings change after different camps from month to month. Well now isn't any different and it looks like the state of Tennessee has produced another top talent that will help Memphis reclaim the number one recruiting class of 2010.

Tarik Black looks to be the newest edition that will put Memphis in the top spot. The Memphis native is a superior athlete who shows so much promise and upside that is understand why he has gotten interest from most schools around the nation.

After watching the film Black's soft hands and ability to run the floor really stand out. He does a good job of getting open in transition and always finishing strong. When in the post Black makes strong quick moves and shows the ability to get off a lot of clean shots. He also has the ability to finish with a right hand hook shot on a consistent basis. The best thing about Black's game is the ability to defend and the hustle he has on the court. He has great quicks, feet, and ability to alter shots.

Tarik is listed as a center, but once in college I think he will be able to play center out of necessity but flourish as a power forward. Black's raw skills make his acquisition a big pick up for any team especially since I feel he is underrated despite his 4 star ranking. He will become a true force once he refines his offensive game.
