Macari Brooks, Jamee Crockett, Shane Larkin and Derrell Robertson each signed a National Letter of Intent on Wednesday, Nov. 10 and head to Lincoln Park starting next season. The four signees can cover each position on the floor and all four are described as explosive athletes that will thrive in Purnell s signature high pressure defense, high pressure offense system. I m very pleased with the makeup of our first full recruiting class. I think we addressed a lot of needs for next year s team, said Purnell. We were able to sign a guy at each position. I think we have guys that shoot the basketball, guys that have the ability to defend and overall a very athletic class. The class features four players that can play a multiple positions. Brooks and Crockett head north from Chicago s south suburbs and join Larkin from Orlando, Fla., and Robertson from Mendenhall, Miss. Brooks, a 6-2 guard, enters his senior year at Rich South High School in suburban Richton Park, Ill., this season.

Known as one of the most athletic players in Illinois, Crockett is ranked among the top 80 small forwards in this year s recruiting class. Macari Brooks is an outstanding athlete who is a natural scorer from all over the floor. I was very impressed with his toughness and tenacity as well, said Purnell. Jamee Crockett is probably as good an athlete as I saw all summer. He s improved his ability to the outside shot. He is a tremendous runner and finisher. Larkin is a 5-11 point guard at Dr. Phillips High School in Orlando, Fla. He picked up first team Class 6A All-State honors as a junior after averaging 19.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 3.5 steals while leading Dr. Phillips to a 27-6 record and state runner-up finish. Ranked among the top 25 point guards in the 2011 class, Larkin played for the Showtime Ballers and Florida Assault during the summer. His father, Barry Larkin, played for the Cincinnati Reds and was a 12-time All-Star. Shane Larkin is an outstanding point guard from Orlando. He not only provides the ability to quarterback the team, but he s shown an ability to shoot the three-point shot with consistency, said Purnell. Mississippi native Robertson is a 6-9 center known for his shot-blocking and defensive abilities. He starts his senior season at Mendenhall High School and played with MBA Hoops during the summer AAU circuit. Rated as one of the top 10 players in Mississippi, he averaged 14 points, eight rebounds and seven blocked shots per game at Mendenhall as a junior. His father, Derrell Robertson, Sr., was a professional football player in the Canadian Football League after a career at Mississippi State.
