A video interview with Chad Haysbert

We've never seen anything like this before so a big-time tip o' the hat to Daniel Smith and Chad Haysbert for putting together this YouTube video on Haysbert, who plays for Center High (near Sacramento) and the E-Time Hoops club basketball team. It runs 2:45. This is the kind of media that can easily be sent out to any numbers of college coaches -- more prospects should be doing this.

Chad Haysbert, Joel Davis and Kendall Jackson receive some ESPN press

ESPN's Joel Francisco lauds Chad Haysbert of E-Time Hoops plus Lakeshow's Joel Davis and Kendall Jackson:

"One of the bigger of surprises this summer has been the emergence of 6-7 senior Chad Haysbert (Sacramento, Calif./Center). He possesses a versatile game and can hurt his opponents inside and out. He needs to get stronger but his offensive game is pretty solid from 17 feet in.

U-17 Lakeshow has a pretty potent backcourt in 6-1 senior James Davis (San Pablo, Calif./Arroyo) and 5-8 junior Kendall Jackson (Oakland, Calif./Bishop O'Dowd). Davis is a knock-down shooter with a smooth release, while Jackson can break down defenders at will to find teammates for open looks. "

The Brothers Haysbert

Here's a short but nice little feature on two kids who don't receive much pub:

But as talented as they are - both also are excellent students - they are completely different personalities...
