After strong summer showings 2015 talents Dillon Brooks (left) and Jalen Poyser (right) are poised to continue Mississauga, ON’s basketball pipeline to the NCAA ranks.

Mississauga, Ontario is becoming a hotbed for talent much like their neighbor to the north Brampton, Ontario. Mississauga is not only home to Toronto’s international airport YYZ but also the home to Andrew Nicholson & Nik Stauskas in the professional ranks, Naz Long on the collegiate level and now a dynamic duo in the 2015 class that  are having monster summers making them destined for D1 basketball.

Meet 2015 Dillon Brooks and Jalen Posyer. Brooks from Cooksville and Jalen from Malton, both neighborhood’s inside “Ssauga” the suburb of Toronto, Ontario.

Similarities don’t stop there. Both played club basketball growing up with the Brampton Warriors, both played AAU basketball with CIA Bounce and both have also played high school ball for Father Henry Carr in Toronto and Findlay Prep in Las Vegas.

It’s been a busy summer for both of these “Ssauga” ballers, together they are now flirting with high major potential.

Dillon Brooks

Brooks a 6-foot-5 forward this summer has played in the FIBA Americas, AAU basketball for CIA Bounce, the LeBron James Skills Academy and most recently, Adidas Nations. Along the way adding multiple high-major offers.

For those unfamiliar with his game, Brooks brings a lot of attacking and killer instinct to the table, along with skill in the transition game, defending and facilitating. A play maker who loves to make plays and just win. And colleges have taken notice.

Michigan, Syracuse and Michigan State are showing interest, while Iowa State, Kansas State, Providence, Dayton, Maryland, Missouri, Virginia Tech and Indiana have extended scholarship offers.

Brooks rise this summer included a stellar showing at the 2014 U18 FIBA Americas where he averaged a tournament high 23 points per game, the Adidas Nations where he averaged another showcase high 26 points per game. All this after averaging 23 points per game on the EYBL circuit in 15 games.

Brooks whose expected to spend his final high school season at Brewster Academy has not determined any official visit dates or destinations as of yet but perhaps he is waiting until after the busy summer to make any decisions.

Jalen Poyser

This 6-foot-5 versatile guard/forward was shockingly cut from the Canadian U18 FIBA Americas team but did his thing playing AAU basketball for CIA Bounce, attended the Ty Lawson/Victor Oladipo camp, and most recently the Adidas Nations. Much like Brooks along the way he has added high-major interest. Perhaps a Roy Rana blunder omitting him from Team Canada has motivated Poyser. At Peach Jam he played some of the best basketball of his EYBL circuit. Twice registering season highs.

Posyer has demonstrated an uncanny slashing ability getting in the lane and putting the ball in the basket with ease. Poyser finds his teammates like a point guard, is a willing defender and has a shooting stroke that is getting more consistent by the week.

California Berkeley, Oklahoma, Michigan State and Michigan are keeping tabs. Wolverines reportedly have reached out to those in Poyser’s camp in hopes of securing a visit.  VCU, Wake Forest, Rhode Island, Quinnipiac and Idaho have already offered according to Hoops Hype Canada Sources.

After averaging 13 points per game in 15 games on the EYBL circuit, Poyser was phenomenal averaging 18 points per game at the Adidas Nations on 52% shooting from the field..

Poyser along with his partner in crime Brooks will be featured on Team Canada’s roster at the Nike Global Challenge taking place in Chicago, Illinois August 14-16. Another opportunity to flex their muscles and cement there status as who has next coming out of Mississauga.
