Derrien King

Derrien King (Cathedral Prep) 6-7 – May still play his Prep year since he is a young senior. Crazy upside with his length and perimeter tools for his size. Can really stroke it and ballhandling is much improved. If he plays another year he will become a high major target for sure. Right now mid majors can come in and get a steal since he is a qualifier as well. National Sleeper.

Another intriguing California kid. Which coach has the connections out there?

[Billyboy78]

He's actually from Kansas and going to school in California.

[rodfromcranston]

Bill Murray is doing recruiting in California.
Phantom is a good bame, Can't find thios one in the ESPN directory, or anywhere else.
Obviously not rated.
Seriously, what's with all the Cali kids?

[Billyboy78]

For someone who they claim could be a high major prospect if he takes his prep year, I can't find anything on the recruiting websites about him.

[rodfromcranston]

The Phantom Phantom!

DK ‏@gnikneirred 1h
im bout to really freeze in rhode island im not use to the cold no more dawg

[Billyboy78]

6'8" combo guard.....intriguing size, wish I could find out more about him.

[rodfromcranston]

If he thinks this is cold.......

[Rhodymob05]

Where does he want to go to school on the equator? Lol

[rodfromcranston]

One of the problems recruiting players from warm weather climates.
Not only are they coming here from a great distance, but the cold, snow and ice
is a culture shock.
If the Phantom is from Kansas, he's used to cold winters, though.

Preston Murphy has been recruiting in California and has ties there. He was there for a few days.

[rodfromcranston]

Wish he'd get the Bailey kid to visit.

[Ramulous]

I like Preston Murphy

[rodfromcranston]

I wish he was named Associate Head Coach.

[Iggy1979]

This sounds like the recruiting of Big O. Grab him now or watch him explode next year

[rodfromcranston]

Except, the Big O was rated 3 stars by ESPN, and
was not an unrated phantom who you can't find any information on.
Guess Hurley and staff might be comfortable enough with present
talent level, to take a flier on a project?

[Iggy1979]

Seems like there haven't been many visits lately, so if he impresses the coaches in the workout ...

[eli#10]

Why is he a project? How about red shirting here for a year??

[Billyboy78]

Is he here?

[Ramulous]

Check out the pool hall.....

[CT Rhody]

A red shirt year might not be a bad idea since playing time might be limited if no front court players leave. Of course if we were able to snag a top 100 or 75 PF or C then I wouldn't want them to red shirt.

This kid is a 6'8" combo guard.

[rodfromcranston]

So? Is he any good, is the question.

[Billyboy78]

Who knows? I haven't even seen anything saying that he is here.

[rodfromcranston]

Phantom visit????

[Billyboy78]

The kid rewteeted that he was visiting a couple of days ago, but nothing since. He is @gnikneirred on twitter, his name spelled backwards

[Iggy1979]

Hopefully if he went to the football game he noticed the decent crowd and the nice weather but not the scoreboard.

[Iggy1979]

Bailey and King are both from Crompton so Preston's connection there really paying off. If Bailey was going to visit, you'd think maybe he'd come with King.
