    Oklahoma State's Cade Cunningham Is the Recipient

    www.KyleMacyAward.com April 1, 2021 OKLAHOMA STATE’S CADE CUNNINGHAM IS THE RECIPIENT OF THE 2021 KYLE MACY NATIONAL FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR AWARD BOSTON, MA -- Oklahoma State’s Cade Cunningham is the recipient of the 2021 Kyle Macy award. The 6-foot-8 native of Arlington, TX led the Big 12 in scoring, averaging 20.1 points per game, which included a season-best 40 points in a win over No. 7 ranked Oklahoma on Feb. 27. He also averaged 6.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists per contest and was a nine-time recipient of the Big 12 Player/Newcomer of the Week honor, which was the most by any player this season and the most in school history. “Cade Cunningham is easily one of the top three or four players in college basketball and nobody would argue if you said he is the best,” said Angela Lento Vice President of CollegeInsider.com. “The only thing disappointing about his game is that we won’t see it, at the college level, for more than one season.” Cunningham’s sensational season included several prominent honors including First Team All-America honors from the Associated Press, USA Today, the Sporting News and the United States Basketball Writers Association. He is also a finalist for the Naismith Trophy and the Bob Cousy Point Guard of the Year awards. The Kyle Macy Award, which is presented annually to the top freshman in Division I college basketball, is named for a guard who starred as a freshman for Purdue. The 1975 Indiana "Mr.

    'To Me, He's a No-Brainer, High-Lottery Pick': Scottie Barnes

    ‘To Me, He’s A No-Brainer, High-Lottery Pick’: Scottie Barnes Will Arrive At Florida State Amid A Ton Of Hype By Tashan Reed The Athletic January 7, 2020 MONTVERDE, Fla. — Scottie Barnes wasn’t seeing a lot of playing time. To be fair, he’d only been playing organized basketball for about two years. He was talented, but he was also playing one year up in age and found himself fighting to see the court. Barnes’ team had a game one afternoon at North Broward Prep in Coconut Creek, Fla., in the Fort Lauderdale suburbs, and John Simpson stopped by on a scouting trip for the Wellington Wolves Gold grassroots team. Simpson sought players who were young and still finding their way, and specifically was looking for a big man. Simpson struck up a conversation with Barnes’ coach at the time. After Simpson expressed his desire to add players, the coach immediately pointed at Barnes, who was getting ready to enter the sixth grade. “He said, ‘He doesn’t play much,’ ” Simpson said via phone earlier this month. “ ‘He’s a phenomenal ballplayer, but he’ll need your help.’ I never knew what that meant.” Simpson kept his eyes on Barnes throughout the contest. He didn’t play much, but it didn’t matter. He had the height, he showed good effort and he seemed committed to competing and improving. Shortly thereafter, Simpson paid a visit to Barnes’ home in West Palm Beach, Fla. to meet with him and his mother. “He just said, ‘I want to play basketball,’ ” Simpson said.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE [email protected] MONTVERDE ACADEMY STUDENT-ATHLETE NAMED GATORADE® FLORIDA BOYS BASKETBALL PLAYER OF THE YEAR CHICAGO (March 26, 2020) — In its 35th year of honoring the nation’s best high school athletes, The Gatorade Company, today announced Cade Cunningham of Montverde Academy as its 2019-20 Gatorade Florida Boys Basketball Player of the Year.

The 6-foot-7, 215-pound senior forward had led the Eagles to a 25-0 record, a No. 1 national ranking and a berth in the GEICO High School Nationals at the time of his selection. Cunningham averaged 13.9 points, 6.4 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 1.4 steals through 25 games for one of the deepest prep teams in the country.
