Kadeem Green picks Missouri
Published by Gilbert Muako on October 26, 2009
The list of talented Canadians committing to quality programs keeps growing.
The latest one is combo forward Kadeem Green, a former standout at Vaughan Secondary in Vaughan, ON, who gave the University of Missouri a verbal commitment on Sunday.
“After talking to Kadeem and the family we decided that if the visit went well, Missouri would be the best place for Kadeem,” says his long time coach and mentor Kevin Scarlett.

Green attends United Faith Christian Academy in North Carolina, where hemanaged to help his team win the 2008-2009 NCISAA 1A State Championship over a Word of God Christian Academy team that featured top prospects John Wall (Kentucky) and the top 25 recruit of 2010, C.J Leslie. Playing with Team Take Over in the summer circuit, Green continuously improved his stock. He has attracted schools such as Memphis, Virginia, Boston College, Oklahoma, and Virginia before he pledged to become a Tiger.
“Missouri has been working hard since his junior year to show how interested they have been in KG (Kadeem Green) with regular phone calls, visits to see him play etc., and have shown how sincere their interest is. When I spoke to coach Anderson he talked about KG being the prototypical player for his program. Standing at 6’9 with a 7’4 wingspan and a 39 inch vertical, he said Kadeem is an athlete that brings many intangibles, a skill set and basketball I.Q. that is often un-coachable, either you have it or you don’t,” says Scarlett.
“With Missouri being in the elite Big 12 NCAA conference, it gives him great leverage for exposure to the next level. At this point now KG just needs to put on a little size to his frame and he will be ready to play D1 basketball at the highest level.”

I have watched him play several times and I think with the coaching staff at Missouri he will develop into a great basketball player. Personality wise he will be a good addition to their program.
