Ryan
Beeman, 6-4 2007 G
Phoenix
(Ariz.)
Desert Ridge high
School, is one to watch in the class of 2007. The Cager Report lists him as a LM
(Follow) with PG skills standing 6-4 and athletic. Beeman can attack the glass in traffic,
shoot it from beyond the arc and can defend. Look for Beeman to hit the LM radar over
the next 8 months.
We had a chance to
sit down and talk with the Desert Ridge senior this past week to get his
thoughts on the coming season, his college future and outlook.
