(31pts, 5rbs, 5stls, 2 dimes ) Corey plays summer ball with the Dallas Mustangs, but during the season he plays for his father at Episcopal School of Dallas. Corey is a long wiry skilled guard with great handles, nice mid-range game, he can shoot the 3pt shot consistently and is a very good passer. This underrated guard will be one of the top 2015 Prospects in the state by the end of this season.

2012 Prospects Give Verbal Pledges to D1's
2012 6'8 PF Devon Williams(Dallas Woodrow Wilson HS) gave his Pledge to University of New Mexico. Devon is a long very athletic foward with guard skills. He can consistantly hit the 3 pt shot and is an excellent rebounder when he puts his mind to the task. Congrats to Devon and his family.

2012 6'4 SG Jelon Hornbeak(Arlington Grace Prep) Gives his pledge to the University of Oklahoma. DJH5 Hoop Report is not surprised by this decision at all. Jelon has visited the Sooners when Jeff Capel and Co was in charge and then again with Kruger and Co. We actually teased his mom about the rumors of him attending OU and she just smiled and said, "Its his decision ." Jelon is a strong builed SG with some PG abilities. He is a good defender, ball handler, and rebounder for his position. What separates Jelon from alot of guards in his class is his ability to compete every minute he is on the floor. Jelon also scores the basketball in multiple of ways. Congrats to Jelon, his mom, & grandmother his biggests supporters.
