I love the part where they talk about Judd the Studd improving his defense. What a great sounding kid, very glad he's going to Drake, can't wait to see him play for Waukee.

I would love to see that, but if he's already out in Waukee I don't see it happening. Im surprised the papal envoy hasn't started recruiting him.

Thanks for the post BG. I can't wait to see him play.

So which area HS is going to win the Judd Welfringer lottery? I think it will be awsome to get a chance to see him against the in state players, any coach would be lucky to have this kid on his team.

A little disapointed that folks in Arizona don't know much about the University of Drake. Here's hoping Judd joins the High School of Roosevelt Theodore basketball team.

Talk about it in Arizona Preps Boy's Basketball ForumBasha High School's star 6-foot-5, 195-pound senior guard Judd Welfringer (University of Drake commit) had a very strong junior season for Head Coach Brad Pinter this past season in leading the Bears to a 24-7 overall record.

Basha HS 6-foot-5 senior guard Judd Welfringer (Drake commit) has decided to move to the state of Iowa for his senior season. Welfringer had his best season of his high school career and one of the best seasons across the board, putting up very impressive numbers. The Drake commit averaged a team-leading 16.2 points, 7.6 assists and 10.6 rebounds per/game - almost a triple-double. Welfringer also shot an impressive 62% from the field and 85% from the free-throw line.

Welfringer's best season came after he made a very early verbal commitment to Drake University after the completion of his sophomore season - one of the earliest college commitments in Arizona's rich basketball history.

According to reports, Welfringer is now leaving the state of Arizona and moving closer to his college of choice. While he was not available for comment on this situation, Welfringer will be moving to the state of Iowa this year. The move comes after Welfringer's parents received a job opportunity in the state, also a chance to move closer to Drake University where Welfringer will play his college basketball.

This move is not uncommon for parents of high school athletes, as Sunnyslope HS graduate and Kansas signee Royce Woolridge moved on to Kansas this spring, only to have his mother, Victoria Salas, also pack her bags and move to the state of Kansas as well.

Former Gilbert-Highland HS star guard Matt Carlino gave an early verbal pledge to the University of Indiana after his sophomore season, and then saw himself and his father, Mark Carlino, a former Head Coach of Highland HS, both pack their bags and move to the state of Indiana for Matt's junior season. Unfortunately for Carlino, it did not work out, as the rising senior guard de-committed from Indiana and now has given a new verbal pledge to play for UCLA.

Hopefully, this move and Welfringer's future at Drake will work out for him, as he definitely is deserving of a great basketball future ahead of himself. Welfringer is an excellent young man with a great zest for life and excellent work ethic - on and off the floor.

Best wishes for the Welfringer family from our Arizona Preps' staff, as we all enjoyed watching him perform over the past several years at a high level. He truely helped to raise the level of basketball in this state.

Welfringer is also an excellent student, carrying a perfect 4.0 CUM GPA.

Arizona Preps Scouting Report: Standing 6-5 in heigth, Welfringer has very good size among the state's 2011 class of prospects. He is a solid perimeter player that does not turn the ball over and makes good decisions with the basketball in his hands. He is among the biggest point guard prospects in the country, and is also capable of playing both guard positions, as he is an excellent shooter of the basketball with nice range. He also possesses a high basketball IQ, and has excellent work ethic a a player. Also very tough physically, Welfringer is not afraid to mix it up inside against much bigger competition. Also a very good rebounder and finisher around the basket, Welfringer is an OK athlete but gets by with his understanding of the game. Defensively, he will need to continue to work on his lateral quickness to defend quicker guards at the next level, but he has a good understanding of angles on the floor and seems to get by. A team leader that is very vocal on the floor, this young man should be successful in life at whatever he chooses to pursue in his career.

I just heard from my nephew who is with an AAU team with some Waukee players at a tournament out in cleveland this week. My nephew will be a Senior for Waukee this year - Judd is with them. Sure will be fun to have Judd close by to see him play his Senior year in the DM area.

Woodley is the coach a Waukee. Brother Andy will assist this year along with former long time Valley coach Bill Harris.

The team is in Cleveland playing the Cleveland Cavaliers Continental Cup tournament. The team from Cleveland they scrimmaged on Tuesday they beat by 20. Wednesday they easily beat a team from Greece. The same day they played "the best" HS team in Cleveland, St Ignacius. Down by over 20 at half, cut it to 5 with 10 min to go. M Woodley was t'd up (lousy officiating), cut it to 1 with 5 to play and ended up winning going away 63-53. Judd had 31.

Playing St. Lucia this morning. Team is playing with great intensity and Waukee will be identified as a top team this fall.

Championship game is Sunday if they win out.

The team? WHAT team is in Cleveland?

Multiple sources has it that Judd is leaving Arizona to play his senior year at Waukee!

Is Matt Woodley still their coach? There's a nice Drake connection if he's still there. If this is true, Drake is getting an Iowa kid in the 2011 class

Judd Welfringer (Basha, 2011) - Can play the 1,2,3,4 position. Drake commit and former Academic Camp MVP can do it all. Passing and court awareness is what sets him apart from others. Good shooter, defender and he just makes everyone better. Just plain good.

2010 Boo Williams Nike Invitational Player Evaluations
By: Phil Kasiecki in: Columns

14 Apr 2010
HAMPTON, Va. – This year’s Boo Williams Nike Invitational was a little different. While the 16-under and 15-under divisions all had playoff rounds that led to champions being crowned, the 17-under division had nothing of the sort. Instead, teams played five games as part of a three-weekend stretch where they will attempt to qualify for the Nike Peach Jam in July. 24 teams will ultimately go.
One noteworthy change was that of a shot clock in 17-under games. Over the weekend, there were more than a few shot clock violations, owing in part to players not being used to having one in this competition and from the placement of them being in front of the scorer’s table instead of behind the baselines. There wasn’t much that could be done about the placement, but it probably contributed to some of the violations.
With that, here’s a look at some of the players in action this weekend.

Judd Welfinger (6′5” Jr. SG, Laveen (AZ) Basha HS) After a first half in which he seemingly couldn’t miss, he scored just three of his 17 points in the second half of an early Sunday game. He has good size and is more than a shooter, as he showed a good passing ability and good shot selection even while the shots were going down.

This is a quote from him regarding Friday's games.

NOW THAT IS EXCITING. NEED SOMEONE TO TAKE WEDEL'S PLACE BUT AT 6'4". And a lot more like Scheyer than Wedel from the tape I've watched.

Judd's club team, the AZ Stars, are in Newport News, Virginia playing in the Boo Williams Invitational (42 Nike sponsored teams from across the U.S.). They played the Wisconsin Nike Team tonight (Friday night) and won 75 - 62. Judd had 26 points, shooting 9 for 12 and he had 7 assists. He is playing the 3 spot on this team. He played point for the last three years.

They play at 11 am and then at 9 pm tomorrow and then two games on Sunday.

Last weekend, they played in the Southwest Showcase in Phoenix, AZ and went 5 and 0, winning the tournament.
