Thanks to a reader's tip, I was able to watch a broadcast of Princeton recruit Ian Hummer and Gonzaga High School playing St. Mark's in the 8th Annual Spalding Hoop Hall Classic, which took place this afternoon in Springfield, MA.

This was my first chance to see an entire game of Hummer's. Detailed notes and video highlights follow after the jump.

The 6'7" Hummer jumped center for the Purple Eagles and lost the opening tip to 6'10" Florida-bound big man Erik Murphy.

Gonzaga trailed 8-0 early - Hummer missed a shot trying to drive to his right on baseline and traveled attempting to hesitate going up on a shot on the left block.

Hummer showed good control catching and finishing on a bounce pass inside and made a tough short baseline jumper with a high arc over Murphy.

With the ball on the perimeter, Hummer lost the ball off his foot trying to dribble.

After Hummer finished a drive down the right baseline, Gonzaga trailed 15-10.

Hummer did a great job coming from the weak side to the strong side to grab an offensive rebound but could not finish a put-back.

A lob pass by Georgetown recruit Nate Lubick on a high/low was intercepted by Hummer's active hands. The next time St. Mark's had the ball Hummer picked off a second entry feed.

I was particularly impressed when Hummer came down the right baseline, away from his man, to close quickly on a St. Mark's player and contest what started out as a wide open layup. The shot was no good because of Hummer's effort and Gonzaga gained possession. The Purple Eagles tied the game on the break and were down 18-17 after one period.

To start the second quarter Hummer did a great job sealing off his man in the center of the paint, went to his left with the entry pass, but did not convert.

Hummer had a nifty pass from the left baseline to a wide open cutter, but did not get an assist because the layup was too strong.

A Gonzaga possession was kept alive by Hummer, going to the floor to knock a loose ball to a teammate.

Hummer scored on a quick spin move to his right out of a possible double team and canned a smooth jumper.

Fouled hard on a one-on-one drive, Hummer showed good form at the line but missed both attempts.

Hummer lost vision on Lubick for the first time and allowed him to cut down the lane and lay home a feed.

Ahead of the pack running the floor, Hummer threw one down with both hands for his fifth field goal and Gonzaga was up 27-24.

With less than a minute to go, Hummer was short on another high-arcing baseline jumper. Gonzaga had a one point lead at the break.

Hummer bounced a two handed backdoor pass across his body to a cutting Tyler Thornton (who is headed to Duke) from the free throw line.

Hummer was unable to finish on a reverse layup, but I liked the footwork to get to the spot where he shot from.

On the break, Hummer had a layup attempt deflected, gathered the rebound of his own miss and was too strong on a jump hook in the paint.

Hummer's only jump shot of the game from beyond eight feet came up short as he pulled up from just inside the free throw line.

Thornton posted up and Hummer found him with an entry pass from the arc and Thornton was fouled by Lubick.

Hummer turned the ball over trying to dribble in traffic.

Midway through the third quarter, Hummer went to the bench for the only time.

Hummer returned to the floor with 1:49 left in the third and immediately blocked a hook shot by coming over to help on defense and swatting the ball at its apex with his left hand. You don't see a lot of hook shots blocked, but Hummer timed it perfectly.

A nice spin move to his left was better than the short jumper that clanged off the rim.

Hummer lowered his shoulder and drove with :27.6 left in the frame and was fouled. His first free throw was true and the second was the same. Both were shot with his left hand. Gonzaga led 41-36 after three.

A lefty drive in traffic was too hard and Hummer's second chance on the other side of the hoop was blocked by Murphy.

Hummer scored inside to put Gonzaga up eight and Hummer went back to the line after drawing a foul going up with his left to try and dunk the ball on a break. The first free throw was good, the second was long.

A long lead pass was controlled by Hummer, who soared up on the left side off glass, causing the announcers to remark "boy can Ian Hummer run the floor!" Gonzaga now led 52-44.

Another Hummer pass could have been an assist if not for a missed layup. Hummer found a teammate from beyond the arc on the other side of the basket but the shot hit too hard off the backboard.

Hummer finished with 17 points and six rebounds in the 60-53 Gonzaga win.

According to Rivals, Hummer was 7-17 from the field and also had one block, one assist and three turnovers in 30 minutes.

Want to see for yourself? For those in the Washington DC area, Comcast will show this game again at 6:00 am ET on Monday.

Conclusions, based on a very small sample size: Hummer, who was averaging 15 points and 11 rebounds per game coming into Sunday afternoon, has a strong frame, runs the floor well, appears to be attentive on defense and always aware of where his man is. Based on his combination of fundamentals and skill you can see why Princeton's staff coveted him and why he had the interest of so many schools. Hummer showed an assortment of moves inside and good court sense versus St. Mark's. He didn't try and do anything that he could not do on offense and saw the floor ably at both ends. When each shot went up Hummer found his man and did not let him get close to the rim. I liked what I saw of his passing and did not see enough from the free throw line (3-6) or shooting from outside to make an assessment.
