From Future 150:

Esformes Brothers Lighting Up Miami Beach


Miami Beach, FL (Future150) -- If you are not familiar with the name Esformes, you might want to familiarize yourself a bit. Class of 2020 recruit Morris and 2022 prospect Jack are two of the hardest working prospects in the country and that work is steadily paying off.

2020 SG Morris Esformes hasn’t been on the scene long, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t making a huge impact early in his playing career. Best described as a physical 2-guard who can shoot the long ball or get to the rim when needed, Morris has only been playing organized basketball for just over two years. His rapid development is what has college coaches paying close attention to this up and coming prospect out of Miami.

A member of the varsity squad at the Hebrew Academy in Miami, Esformes is taking his basketball career extremely seriously.

“Morris is one of the hardest working players I have ever been around. His development has been nothing short of amazing. His drive, his passion, are the best I have seen from anyone his age. Yeah, many may argue that there are more talented players out there right now, but give Morris another year or two and he will be light years ahead of them. At this rate, by next year, Morris will be one of the top players in the area and will have numerous colleges lining up inquiring about his future college plans,” said Demetrius McDaniels, who is the primary trainer for the Esformes brothers and brother of Miami Heat Superstar Dwyane Wade.

After participating in a recent workout in Miami, Future150 Scout Adam Barnes echoed those comments.

“I really like how Morris plays the game of basketball. His basketball IQ is extremely high and the physical tools are there. He is going to be a fun player to watch grow both on and off the court. He is as bright as they come and super strong. He will be able to create a lot of mismatch problems based on his athletic ability and his never ending motor. He will be a perfect fit at the Ivy League level, or any level for that matter. He is a solid player with a high ceiling.”

An extremely bright individual, Morris is leaning heavily towards attending an Ivy league type of school such as Brown, Cal-Poly, Columbia, MIT, Harvard, Penn, USC, UCLA, or John Hopkins. Many of the mentioned schools have already been able to catch a glimpse or have started to recruit Esformes. As the summer nears, we fully expect that list to grow.

As long as Morris continues to work, the sky is the limit. Very rarely do you see players at his age make the transformation that he has made. He has shown the ability to elevate his game at a rate that exceeds what is considered “common” for most players at his level. Not only does he have the physical tools that coaches are looking for, he plays the game with an unparalleled level of knowledge that gives him a huge advantage over his opponents.

Working hard to follow in his brother’s footsteps, 2022 SG Jack Esformes is making waves playing high school basketball as a middle-schooler. A household name in Florida, Jack is widely considered by numerous experts to be one of the top shooters in the country; and he just turned 13 years of age.

Jack, who also attends Hebrew Academy in Miami Beach, is currently playing at the junior varsity level, as an 8th grader, for the Warriors.

“Getting the chance to play at the high school level as a middle school student is both a blessing and a challenge at the same time. I know that by playing up against better competition I can work on certain parts of my game to make me a better player,“ Esformes commented.

Widely known as a terrific shooter, Jack has been working extremely hard to show that there is More to his game. Averaging over 20 points per game as an 8th grader playing at the high school level is no easy task. However, it is Jack’s energy and drive that keeps him going day in and day out.

“I feel like I am more than just a shooter. I believe in being a team player, getting my teammates involved and doing the little things that help lead our team to success. Too many players in today’s game are one dimensional; I am working to break that trend. I want to be a complete player that coaches can trust when the game is on the line regardless if we are on offense or defense,” Esformes noted.

At a recent event in Houston, Texas, Esformes got the chance to show what he can do and he did not disappoint those in attendance. He put on a show by knocking down shots from basically everywhere on the court. In addition to his near perfect shooting display, Jack showed the ability to handle the ball and play physical on both ends of the court.

Scouts and fans in attendance came away extremely impressed with the effort and energy Esformes displayed. Compared to the hot-handed Steve Novak by those around him, Esformes continues to work on all facets of his game as he prepares for a busy summer which will include stops around the country at many of the nation’s premiere events.

“I am excited for the summer season to begin. I have been extremely blessed to work with some of the best coaches in the game and the hard work is paying off. I know that I have a long career ahead of me so I am trying to make sure I take my time and learn the right way to do things. Bad habits are hard to break so we focus on creating positive practice habits that will carry over to success on the court”

While it is still a bit early for Esformes to name a leader in regards to his college plans, he is keeping an open mind. A big fan of schools such as Florida, Duke, and North Carolina, the younger Esformes knows that he must capitalize when presented the opportunity to showcase his true talents in front of these coaches and he knows all the work he is putting in now is a great way to prepare.

Make sure you keep a close eye on these up and coming players out of Florida, I believe by the time it is all said and done, they will be one of the top players in his class.


I changed the years just to troll. This was actually from five years ago and they turned out to be complete trash.

First comment on the story: "This is a joke right? I saw this kid play and I can’t stop laughing. He is terrible and his father is a joke. His father probably paid someone to write this"

I think he's right. Check their hype video. :krs:



Little bro getting hilarious hype videos too until the scam came out:

So basically it looks like these guys' criminal papa paid Future 150 to hype his boys up as recruits, paid Wade's brother and the kids' coach to hype them up, then paid Jerome Allen to claim to Penn that the boy was a legit recruit for the team even though he couldn't play for shyt, all so the kid could get into Penn and go to Wharton School of Business.

:dead:


As reported by the Miami Herald, Philip Esformes, a Miami Beach businessman accused of widespread Medicaid fraud, has been indicted for paying some $75,000 to former Penn basketball coach Jerome Allen in the form of wire transfers, private jet travel and hotel rooms, among other expenses. The quid pro quo for Esformes’ financial support was Allen designating Esformes’ son, Morris, as a recruited basketball student.

Allen resigned after the 2015 season and is an assistant coach with the Boston Celtics. Still, the most fascinating development may be that Esformes never apparently cared whether his son did become part of the Penn basketball team. Rather, he just wanted the younger Esformes identified as a recruited player to improve (essentially seal) the likelihood that he be admitted to the school.

It worked, Morris Esformes enrolled at Penn but never set foot on the basketball court. And no one was the wiser about it until additional details in the latest indictment facing Esformes were released on Friday.

Celtic assistant coach Jerome Allen announced in a statement through his attorney that he has pleaded guilty to bribery charges in connection with acceptance of a payment from the father of a high school player who was trying to get his child admitted to Penn. Allen was the head coach at the school before taking a position with the Celtics in 2015.

According to a Celtic source, it is expected that Allen will be suspended from the club for a period believed to be in the range of approximately two weeks.


In his statement through attorney Ronald Sullivan, Allen said, "In 2014, before I joined the Celtics organization, and while I served as the Head Basketball Coach of the University of Pennsylvania, I accepted $18,000, as referenced in the Information, from the father of a prospective student for the purpose of using my position as coach to help his son get admitted to the school as a “listed” recruit. My plea agreement with the Government requires me to repay the $18,000 plus a $200,000 fine.

"I failed on many levels. Primarily, I had a failure of character. I did not live up to the high standards I set for myself, or were expected of me in the position that I held. I am sorry. I let down my family, my friends, my alma mater, and my Celtics family. Even more important, I was not true to my faith. I let down my God.

"I will forever regret exposing my wife and children to this situation. I will spend the rest of my life living up to the ideals that we, as a family, espouse. My family means everything to me.

"Regrettably, I have earned their disappointment. While I cannot undo the past, I can be a better man in all my future interactions. That is my promise to them.

"I am heartbroken that my players – current and former – will know that I broke the law. But, I do hope that some good may come out of this. I wish to model to my young players how one accepts responsibility for wrongdoing, including the consequences that come from unlawful behavior.

"Words cannot express my love and deep appreciation for my wife. She has been my rock during this tumultuous time.

"I apologize to all impacted by my failure of character. I am deeply and profoundly sorry."

The financial penalties in Allen's agreement are significant, in that he is not among the league's higher paid assistant coaches. His salary has been estimated to be in the $300,000 range.




This dude that bribed him was up in all sorts of business.

The U.S. Department of Justice unveiled its largest-ever criminal healthcare fraud case against individuals on Friday, charging the owner of Miami-based assisted living facilities and two others in a $1 billion scheme to swindle Medicare.

Prosecutors alleged that Philip Esformes, 47, “masterminded and executed a sophisticated health care fraud and money laundering” conspiracy that spanned more than a decade, according to court records.

Esformes and his alleged co-conspirators Odette Barcha, 49, and Arnaldo Carmouze, 56, are accused of steering patients who did not qualify for assisted living or skilled nursing into his network of facilities where they received medically unnecessary services that were billed to government healthcare programs.

The government also alleges that they solicited and extracted kickbacks from pharmacies, home health agencies and other providers.

Esformes, 49, who is being held without bond at the Miami Federal Detention Center, was previously charged with paying a state regulator $100,000 in bribes for tipping him off to on-site inspections and patient complaints at his network of skilled-nursing and assisted-living facilities in South Florida.

That first video is straight comedy. They paid their security to stand still then reach on drives and jump at every pump fake.

$75K to get into Penn isn't a bad deal. Looks like he is doing well academically at Penn, he will easily make $75k on his first job and go on to be financially successful. The dad is too ruthless, the government will completely fukk up his business and take a lot of money from him.

That highlight video is god damn :heh::mjlol::bryan: status.

Free throws, routine passes, WNBA style set shots:russ:

My favorite is the extended shots of them in the weight room before they hit the courts. It just screams "we wanted to make sure we used as little footage of actual basketball as possible." :mjlol:

He's had high-paid private trainers since he was 12 years old, getting his shot form in order is the least they could have done for him. Being 6'3" with a jumper ain't enough to get you anywhere in the real world though (Gelo stans on notice :lolbron:).

I've seen more muscle definition on 12 year olds. These dudes have no chance of making it at anything other than a D2 role player level.
