EYBL isn't finished. It's big event, the Peach Jam is coming up in July. July is the next live period, and the Peach Jam is the big Nike event.

Have you seen the kid play? First team all met in DC, which has better hoops then Baltimore. Went to states 3 times, out playing Aquile Carr. Committed early to Loyola, which is why he isn't ranked by many of the sites. When he de-committed, Missour and UMD were after him. Lavon Long can go too, but...

Was he planning to go the JUCO route to increase his looks, or was he waiting on a late arriving test score? I know some guys who wait up until April or May for a test score. It seems strange that he was waiting for looks if he already had offers from other A-10 teams. Either way, seems like a solid...

Patsos is up at Siena. The guy seems nuts, but he wins. They are bringing in the Maryland High School player of the year, Marquis Wright and a big wing named Lavon Long. They also have two athletic 6'8''/6'9'' bigs coming in too. I think he will have the ship turned around in no time.

Bos8

I think the reason you would get the kid now (rather than sending him to prep) is so that he could be officially enrolled, rather than just "committed," having a great prep year, and then losing him to a bigger school. Another benefit to bringing him on is incorporating him into the team ...

ESPN re-did their evaluation system last year. A 90 from 4 years ago is different from a 90 now. What is interesting is that Rivals said that Ryan had good hands. Check it out... "Brooks, who plays at Holy Spirit High School in New Jersey, is a long forward with good bounce, good hands and ooze...

And Olynyk is leaving with eligibility left. If he doesn't red shirt, and rides the pine in 11-12 you are in the same situation. He would be going off to the NBA anyway. If for some reason you like a kid who isn't ready, I get stashing them at a prep school. If we can take a non-qualifier who has to...

I really hate the idea of red shirting anyone. Has anyone seen the latest trend in basketball? It's guys like Tarik Black. If a guy has graduated, they can transfer without penalty. So lets say he (or anyone for that matter, even a guy Blake Vedder for example) comes in and red shirts. If he commits...

Speaking of a true center, did anyone see this? He was a one time Rhody baseball commit.

Adam Zagoria: 6-10 Nolan Long of South Kent (Conn.) Has committed to Wagner and coach Bashir Mason

When 72 typed that post, he was leaning to far over the keyboard.

I heard that he was out recruiting this past weekend. I think it is a good hire by Rutgers, it will take awhile for him to repair the damage though.

Bos8

Pat Clarke also on that list.
Scott Spinelli also on the list. Wasn't he someone who was mentioned early on when we fired Baron?

Bos8

I think I read that Garnett refers to himself as 6'12''.

Eli originally committed to St. Bonaventure. Instead of enrolling, decided to prep to increase his looks.

Don't forget, Eddie Jordan spent last year coaching DC Assaults 17u team with guys like Nate Britt, Melo Trimble, Roddy Peters and Junior Etou. David Cox, Rutgers main recruiter also use to work for DC Assault as well as Georgetown, so they will have a pipeline to DC. He would also need to hire anot...

Ellie LeMaire didn't like the double headers. When I spoke to her about keeping Tom Penders after the Sweet 16 run, she said,"I don't ever want to be a part of a program, where winning is top priority." I'm seldom at a loss for words, but that statement did it for me. She would have loved...

What was amazing about Jon Clark, was that both his rebounds and points per game (as did his steals) decreased every single year! I don't know if I have ever seen that before. His best statistical year was his freshman year. Wasn't he a 4 star recruit? http://statsheet.com/mcb/players/player/rhode-i...

I hate the fact that all of AAU is seen as "bad". Did you know Mike Brown coached a high level AAU a few years back? Eddie Jordan coached one last year. There are many quality guys coaching AAU teams. You just have to do your homework and you make sure you hire the right one. For every Chr...

And he also played only 20mpg, which is just slightly more then TJ. Akeem is also in his 4th year of college, while TJ is only in his second. The reason he doesn't play much at ECU are the same reason he didn't play much here. A nearly 1 to 1 assist to turn over ratio and a total lack of defense. I ...

Bos8

What is interesting is he is averaging 8 minutes a game less at ECU then he did at URI.

Wichita State is in the cartel?

Elite is a common term used by the high level basketball kids. Look into the Hoop Group Elite camps. When I am out at events, I see a ton of kids wearing shirts that say things like "Be Elite" that they got from Hoop Group.

heh, It's weird that when I was trying to think of JC transfers, he immediately popped into my mind. Maybe I'm mistaken, but Baron didn't seem to ever use many of them. Darrell Harris was a juco transfer, right? And that very, very large (meaning round) center as well.

Alex Davis?

Bos8

Was Reischel a 2 or a 3 in high school. If Reischel is growing, now maybe he will be defending a 3 instead of a 2, which would make the quickness issue not as big of a factor. There are plenty of guys that can lock down 3's, but struggle to defend the quicker 2 guards.

It was either Coach Carr or X who said in the post-game interview with Steve and Don that the final play was to get the ball to either X or MikeP going up court with a full head of steam. That's what I figured. And it looked like Andre was going to kick to the ball side corner. If his defender help...

Rod, I think Abu mentioned Powell because he thought Powell might catch the in bounds and push the ball up the floor. A lot of times with that much time on the clock, it isn't the guy that catches the inbound pass that shoots the ball. The ball is typically raced up court, the ball handler tries to ...

Don't forget, RIC won too. I am pretty sure they are the only ranked team in the State!

Two bad possessions coming out of time outs in that final minute. You could see that Coach knew the second possession was going to hell as he just stood there with his hands on his head after his realized his yelling wasn't working.

Bos8

Nik has been solid these last two minutes. Makes a lay up saving block when recovering after he stepped up to help and stop ball penetration. He then grabs a big time offensive rebound and then draws a charge after we failed to score after his offensive rebound.

Blake did put some weight on. He had 4 points and 2 rebounds in 17 minutes vs Pitt and 4 points and 3 rebounds in 15 minutes vs Maryland.

Also, I recorded most of the 4th qtr then my battery ran out...after which I noticed the big "NO VIDEOTAPING OR PHOTOGRAPHY DURING THE SCRIMMAGE" sign lol. If anyone wants to see it I'm sure I could upload it. As much as I would like to see the footage, it's probably a best bet to avoid i...

Gw has a committment from 6'1'' combo guard Nigel Johnson from Riverdale Baptist and a 6'3'' SG Nick Griffin from Magruder High School. Having seen all three play multiple times, I would be surprised if they take on Severe, Johnson and Griffin all in the same class.
