::'''Weak Delete:''' High school athletes are tough cases. There is a burgeoning media business covering them and major outlets like ESPN have been building their HS recruiting coverage over the last few years. After looking at Google News entries, I would say Sulaimon probably isn't notable at this point - under the assumption that '''very''' few HS athletes are. My guess is that this he will become notable as he goes through his senior year - especially as a Duke commit. He's not on the Brandon Knight/Harrison Barnes/Austin Rivers notability level (as HS students), that's for sure. [[User:Rikster2|Rikster2]] ([[User talk:Rikster2|talk]]) 13:35, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

:'''Delete''' Coverage seems to be about a high-school athlete signing with a college team, which falls under [[WP:RECENTISM]]. The remainder of coverage is [[WP:ROUTINE]] sourced from player statistic pages and high school team schedule and results and basic game coverage. Finally, a star high school player attending a college is [[WP:ROTM]] and not notable in this case. —[[User:Bagumba|Bagumba]] ([[User talk:Bagumba|talk]]) 00:49, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
