flyphan Posted August 2, 2006 Author Share Posted August 2, 2006 Dayton still an option for hoops prospect Pullen By Doug Harris Staff Writer DAYTON | Point guard Jacob Pullen has had wads of fun on the summer-camp circuit, dueling against some of the nation's best seniors-to-be while traipsing to Indianapolis, Orlando, Kansas City and elsewhere. Pullen has attracted numerous college suitors and wants to make a decision before November. He plans to visit the University of Dayton with his parents sometime this month, but he also has offers from Notre Dame, Southern California and Kansas State, among others. "I'm very interested in Dayton," he said. "I really like the coaching staff, and I like the players they're bringing in like Chris Wright and Devin (Searcy). But I want to make sure I weigh all my options in August and September before making a decision." If Proviso East coach David Chatman were making the call, Pullen might already be committed to the Flyers. Chatman has been bowled over by UD coach Brian Gregory's tenacity and believes Pullen could be the savvy floor leader the program has been yearning for since Ramod Marshall left in 2004. "Jacob would be a perfect fit there because he could come in and play right away," Chatman said. "He's the kind of kid that's not going to want to sit on anybody's bench. "He's trying to get to a big-time program, and that's big-time basketball. I think he's starting to realize that." The 5-foot-11 Pullen averaged 18 points, seven assists and three steals last season for the school that produced Doc Rivers, Dee Brown and Shannon Brown. And with Pullen's killer first step, court vision and 3-point range, he has proven he belongs in the pantheon of great Proviso guards. "He's the whole package," said Chatman, now in his fourth year. "He's a lot like Shannon Brown and Dee Brown, but Jacob might be a better shooter. "He's very team-oriented. But when he needs to score, he knows how to score. He's just a winner." Searcy gets high marksUD recruit Devin Searcy, a 6-9 center from Romulus, Mich., is listed among the top-15 senior prospects in his home state by Go Blue Wolverine magazine. "(He) runs the floor well, is a good shot blocker and can rebound inside ... very athletic," the publication said. "He has loads of potential. Some think when it is all said and done, (he) could be the best in his class, but he'll have to get much stronger and continue to improve his back-to-the-basket skills to get there." Its good to be a Dayton Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
