Top Las Vegas Unsigned Seniors by Dinos Trigonis* (February 21, 2006) Nate Schulte              6’5”     Palo Verde HS (Las Vegas NV) Strong and aggressive wing forward has more than enough strength to get to basket and finish.  Underrated perimeter shooter has great scoring confidence and is a great student (4.4 GPA/1580 SAT).  Tulsa, UC-Irvine, UC-Santa Barbara, Southern Utah and Northwestern among those schools showing interest.

Jonathan Tavernari           6’6”     Bishop Gorman HS (Las Vegas NV) Tavernari (like Schulte) is a very confident scorer who carries a big-time offensive swagger on the floor.  Jonathan (who scored 32 points in big play-off win over Palo Verde) has led Bishop Gorman deep into the state tourney where the Gaels are the heavy favorite to take home the hardware again this year.  Brazilian native has given a verbal to BYU. Juan Pattillo                         6'6"     Canyon Springs HS (North Las Vegas NV) Athletic and muscular forward runs floor well and can flush it with the best in transition.   Excellent rebounder and defender.   Academics point to JUCO route.
