Todd Buchanan at the 9th annual adidas CyFair Classic

POSTED: July 8, 2011 -- 8:55 p.m. CDT

Houston Cougars head coach Todd Buchanan and assistant head coach Ravon Justice were checking out some of the top high school basketball players participating in the first day of the three day CyFair Classic.

The CyFair Classic is an NCAA certified AAU event which means NCAA college coaches are allowed to attend and observe the players competing in basketball games.

Here's an interview w/ Coach Todd Buchanan:

Coaches are not allowed to speak with the players nor speak with the media about the players.

Jesseika Palmer is one of the players Buchanan and Justice were in the gym to see. In addition to Palmer, Buchanan and Justice also saw twins Taylor and Tyler Gilbert competing on their CyFair Premier White team. In February, the twins made a (non-binding) verbal commitment to attend UH.

Palmer and the twins are members of the Class of 2012. Palmer has yet to decide on her college choice; however, the UH coaching staff is working diligently and hopes Palmer decides to attend the University of Houston.
