BOSTON - Incoming Boston University men's basketball recruit Maurice Watson Jr. has been named to the 2012 Parade Magazine High School Boys Basketball All-American team. The list includes 40 of the nation's top prep basketball standouts.
Currently sitting at No. 91 in the ESPN 100 list, Watson is a 5-foot-10 and 165-pound guard from Boys Latin H.S. in Philadelphia. He netted 2,356 career points, the seventh-best all-time mark in Southeastern Pennsylvania and second most in the Philadelphia Public League, finishing ahead of all-time greats like Wilt Chamberlain.
Last season, he averaged 21.8 points and 7.5 assists in leading the Warriors to a 25-7 record and the PIAA Class AAA state semifinals.
Watson will be joined by sharpshooter John Papale (6-foot-3, 190-pounds) and forwards Nathan Dieudonne (6-foot-7, 210-pounds) and Justin Alston (6-foot-8, 220-pounds).
