For-DaLove Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I don't know anything about him, but looks like he would be a good get. This is the type of player we need to continue to get; fringe BCS guys, that could make a great impact for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

courtside Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 It's only his third year of organized basketball. Rapid improvement each year, past two years. He's gone from nothing, to low major, to elite low major, to mid-major, to elite mid-major...and possibly BCS. He'll play the 2 or 3 depending on his handle which is rapidly improving. Mid-range game, can rebound. Trying to improving shooting range. Great work ethic. Instead of paying AAU ball last year(something he previously did), his dad had him work out with Kenny Anderson and Kenny Smith and Smith's brother in NYC as well playing in NYC and LA and NBA camp. Etc...which also limited his recruiting profile for a while. He's a kid who's gone from not playing, to thrown into limited time as a 6'4 to 6'5 inside player, to a mid range game with improved handle to inside/outside wing in a very short amount of time. Rapid improvement, lots of work, and people are noticing. High school coach is brother of head coach at Bradley. East Suburban Catholic League team,..large schools, 18-4 or so under the radar team and player. The best team in that league, and currently the #2 Chicago area ranked team is the alma mater of Porter Moser, ...Benet Academy.(Point guard headed to Northwestern and big man to Wisconsin) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbizzle09 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Kid looks like he has nice potential and would be a nice get. I will go ahead and open the can of worms since I notice he is class of 2011...who will not be on the team next season? I am under the impression that once Manning was signed all scholarships were accounted for. Thus, it would seem that RM and staff feel that at least one player will not be back next season. I know this is going to lead to a large discussion on the topic, but it is a legit question. Is it possible that this player is being recruited in case Willie does not meet his end of the deal academically? That could be the thought behind this, as opposed to another player not wanting to come or being welcomed back (at least I hope.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't read too much into it regarding any specific player leaving at this point. This kid has a lot of other schools listed. As we have seen in the past, you never know when things can come up. That's why you have to always be recruiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously won't get a vote and we are not dumping any players from down under. Yes, if Willie can't make it all the way back we only want one player "son of AB" not the AB5 kind either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taj79 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I said in a previous thread I think at least two kids on this year's roster will transfer. I told SignKid in DC who I thought it would be and I'll leave it at that. I still believe it to be true and figure anyone at the sophomore level and below is a candidiate. Other thoughts: Eckerle graduates --- been discussed. I understand both Conklin and Cassity have or will complete undergrad --- stranger things have hapened. I don' believe Reed is on tis team until I see it --- just saying. Could be they all return, could be not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

courtside Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Good memory. His dad was a helluva player. Great free throw shooter too. Direct quote: "I wear a band too sometimes, but only when I'm hurt." His dad wouldn't let him play basketball at a younger age as he was running with the wrong crowd. So, he left Columbia, Missouri public schools(Rock Bridge) and moved back to Chicago(where he lived until 6th grade) with his mom for Soph year in high school, and attends a private school with more rules and discipline in Niles and is doing much better. This is his third year of ever having a coach in organized basketball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid gets in with the wrong crowd on the mean streets of Columbia Missouri so his parents move him to Chicago to get away from the violence. No wait, the common story is the oppisite of this one.

thetorch Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 2 other potential recruits if Majerus decides to let someone go. Earl is reporting that we have interest in Connell Crossland, former Haz Central player at Logan CC now. I never thought of Crossland as a prospect in HS but he played on a stacked team and wasn't always eligible. He's a Jon Smith clone, SF/PF super skinny 6'8 less than 200 lbs, primarily an inside player but can run the court, block shots, and board. Crossland has offers from Detroit, Gonzaga, San Diego St, TCU, and Murray St. Also while perusing some recruiting sites came across 6'9 Martin Breunig, a member of the U-18 German team who is playing for a prep school in Wisconsin. Here's some video Breunig Highlights More video Breunig just received an offer from Maryland, also has offers from Green Bay, Maine, San Fransisco, recieving interest from among others Cincy and Marquette. Sounds a lot like Cody Ellis, a little more athletic maybe. SLU hasn't offered him yet but is in his schools of interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
