Weekend wrap – Anya stars, Cleare visits

The stock of DeMatha center Bee Jay Anya continues to rise.

Rivals.com analyst Jerry Meyer called Anya -- a class of 2013 prospect and prime Terps target -- the "top post player" on the first night of the U.S. 16-and-under national team tryouts in Colorado Springs.

Beejay Anya was impressed with his recent visit to UCLA. He has an offer from the Bruins as well as from Texas, St. John's, Indiana, West Virginia, Virginia Tech, Seton Hall, Maryland and Georgetown. Kansas and Syracuse have not yet offered but are recruiting Anya. The talented big man is looking for a program that takes pride in its big men and a program where he can make an early impact and also develop his game.

• The Village School (Texas) center Shaquille Cleare visited Maryland this weekend, according to InsideMdSports.com. A four-star prospect, Cleare is also being recruited by Arizona, Baylor, Texas and Texas A&M.
