The 2012 Nevada CC Wolverines

The Nevada Wolverines are headed by Garry-Hill Thomas, the former Bishop O'Dowd, Oakland Soldier and Nevada Wolf Pack star guard who also played for the Reno Bighorns. The team participates in a number of Bay Area tournaments.

Below is video of the Wolverines:



Three northern California/Bay Area prospects are team members:

* George Johnson, 5-foot-10, Heritage High, 2013
Nevada Wolverines Elite 17U

Very skilled and athletic point guard who runs the show. He is a strong ball handler and passer who distributes the ball well and shoots accurately from three-point range. His floor vision is solid and he is a tenacious on ball defender. Call him a pass first point guard with the ability to break down any defender and get his own shot off. He is at his best in transition and playing in a fast paced offensive style. Is the #35th ranked player in 2013 by NorCalPreps

 * Jamir Andrews, 6-foot-2, Dublin High, 2013
Nevada Wolverines Elite 17U

Andrews is a big guard and a natural scorer who can create his own shot. His range extends beyond the regular three-point line (24 feet) and he can shoot off the catch or dribble but also get to the basket and finish. He is deadly from the arc with space and his feet set. His ball handling is quick and he has the ability to get anywhere on the floor he wants to go. Andrews is the most underrated guard in the Bay Area and should easily be among the players on the 2013 Top 40 list. Just received his first D-1 offer from Northern Arizona over the last couple of weeks.

* Pierre Carter, 6-foot-4, Heritage High, 2013
Nevada Wolverines Elite 17U

A lengthy and skilled guard who can play the 1, 2, or 3. He shoots the ball well, defends and plays very smart. He was an All-BVAL quarterback for Heritage this past season on the football field. Pierre has emerged on the AAU scene this spring and turned the heads of many college coaches. A combo guard who is comfortable playing the point or shooting guard positions, he is a pass-first guard with great vision and the ability to read defenses. He uses his length well to guard the top players on the other teams. He can create for himself, driving to the basket, shooting the pull up or shooting off the catch and is comfortable in transition from both guard positions.

The other Wolverines are Silver State prepsters:

* Hunter Myers, 6-foot-7,Douglas High, 2013

* EJ Poulson, 6-foot-9, Galena High, 2013

* Brian Smith, 6-foot-9, Spanish Springs High, 2012

* Rafe King, 6-foot-3, Carson High, 2013

* John Carlson, 6-foot-7, Damonte High, 2013

* James Herrick, 6-foot-10, Douglas High, 2014
