  BASKETBALL RECRUITING BY CHRIS BALAS P ortland (Ore.) Columbia Chris- tian's Kameron Chatman (6-8, Ri- vals.com's No. 29 senior nationally) was honored recently with selection to the 13th annual Jordan Brand Clas- sic April 18 in Brooklyn, N.Y., where he'll represent the West team in one of the nation's most prestigious high school all-star games. The contest will cap the Michigan signee's career after a senior season in which he and his teammates finished in style. Columbia Christian won the Divi- sion 1A state basketball champion- ship, beating Horizon Christian 68-49 in the title game, with Chatman scor- ing 19 points in the win. Assistant coach Craig Moody watched him blossom into one of the nation's most versatile players. "He had a tremendous year," Moody said. "Kam is one of those kids that can do everything on the court. He does what he has to do to win." Chatman averaged 25 points, 11 rebounds, five assists and four steals per game, Moody reported, play- ing everywhere from point guard through center depending on how people were guarding the team. "Right now I think he'll be a two [shooting guard] or a three [wing] at the next level, but long term I think he can be a point," Moody continued. "People will see it when he arrives at Michigan. Being 6-8, he can see the floor, and the way he handles it, passes it — he's a set-up guy. In his mind, most of the time he'd rather get someone the ball. It's not that he can't score — when he needs to, he will." If you're not paying attention, Moody added, you'll get a pass in the side of the head.   BASKETBALL RECRUITING Signee Kameron Chatman Wins A State Title Chatman, Rivals.com's No. 29 senior in the country, will play in the Jordan Brand Classic, one of the most prestigious post- season high school all-star games, April 18 in Brooklyn, N.Y.
