The Team Takeover (Md.) Under-17 team, one of the top programs on the Nike circuit, is home to several players in whom the Maryland coaching staff is seriously interested. Takeover established itself as a team to be reckoned with once again this weekend at the Nike EYBL tournament in Los Angeles by going 4-0, and IMS had several sets of eyes on the scene.

 

Phil Booth, Team Takeover: Booth, who took an unofficial visit to Bloomington for the Michigan game last February and said he expects to be back this fall for an official visit, left Los Angeles with Team Takeover unbeaten in EYBL play at 4-0. Booth averaged 10.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.5 steals in 22.0 minutes per game.

 

Marcus Derrickson, Team Takeover: Derrickson, a 6-6 forward from Paul VI Catholic in Fairfax, Virginia, is one of IU’s primary 2015 targets and took an unofficial visit with his high school coach, Glenn Farello, for the regular season home finale against Ohio State. In Los Angeles, Derrickson played just 13.8 minutes per game, but averaged 5.5 points and 4.0 rebounds. In late March, Derrickson told the Washington Post that he’s taking time with his recruitment, which already includes offers from more than 16 schools.
