From Rivals:
DeShaun Morman blew up this past year after making the move to Washington (D.C.) Coolidge High.
The Richmond, Va., native attended Meadowbrook High his first three years, but moved a few hours North to Coolidge. He blew up this past season and moved all the way up to No. 114 overall in the Rivals.com rankings.
The 6-foot-3, 185-pound lefty averaged 15.4 points per game his junior year, but exploded for 28 against Rockville (Md.) Montrose Christian in a 51-49 win Jan. 26, that helped put him on the map.
Washington (D.C.) Coolidge High junior wing DeShaun Morman is ranked No. 114 in the country by Rivals.com.
Coolidge went on to win its first DCIAA title since 1988, and a spot in the ESPN National High School Invitational. The team fell to 29-8 overall on the season after losing 79-44 to Findlay Prep of Henderson, Nev., but Morman had made his mark.
"It was real big during my first year at Coolidge and I fit in pretty well with the team," said Morman, 18. "We were like brothers and had that good bond."
Several new colleges have started to recruit him and he'll be a popular recruit during the July evaluation period with Virginia Assault.
"I've heard from UVa, UMass, Providence, Cincinnati, Illinois, High Point and plenty more to go," said Morman, who is likely seeking a new school for next year. "I just went out and played hard during April. I crashed the boards hard, played defense, and that is what the coaches like."
Morman and Virginia Assault bowed out against Team Loaded in the playoffs at the Hoop Group Southern Jam Fest in Hampton, Va. Morman's ability to create havoc with his athleticism and create his own shot on offense were his calling cards.
Morman has listed offers from Cincinnati, George Washington, Massachusetts, Murray State, Providence, Seton Hall, UNLV, Virginia and VCU. NC State started to recruit him during his junior season, but would like to evaluate him more in the future. NCSU assistant coach Rob Moxley is recruiting him.
"I've been talking to them before but haven't in a while," Morman said. "It was pretty big to talk to them and they were telling me my game needed to come up a little bit more and to get stronger. My offensive game like my jumpshot and handles [could improve]. I just have to work on that."

Looks pretty good overall and has a nice stroke from long and mid. Uses his left a little too much in traffic on the right side of the hoop to my liking though but I'm sure they can get that out of his game. Looks pretty good on defense from the video.
