another name for the 2013 radar to go with wainwright:conner frankamp from wichita is getting some attention.
Jordan Goodman - PF DC Assault guyPerry Ellis - OK, not really legit, but whatevsClint McCullough - maybe best KC area prospect; 6-6 SF/PF type, we have allegedly offeredWillie Cauley - 6-11 C from Spearville; we have allegedly offeredIsaiah Austin - Elite Center from Dallas coached by Nick Russell's coachthat's about it now.
October, 2009: Ellis has had a national reputation (Gatorade player of the year in Kansas) for quite some time, but his upside doesn't appear as promising. He is a physical specimen at the power forward spot but his frame looks maxed-out. He uses his body well to finish in traffic and he can step out and hit the mid-range pull-up at the elbow. In addition, he has a pretty deceptive 1st step while attacking the basket. However, against great athletes he needs space to finish and he doesn't play with a high motor all the time. Ellis is a solid Division I four-man for the next level, but I'm not sure if his talent translates to the highest level.
less favorable Oct. evaluation for Ellis on ESPN. Still would be a huge get.QuoteOctober, 2009: Ellis has had a national reputation (Gatorade player of the year in Kansas) for quite some time, but his upside doesn't appear as promising.

Ellis has ahd that "stock is going to plummet as class catches up to him physically" feel to him since the get go. I don't see him ever dropping out of top 100, but I don't think he's a 5-star canidate in the long run.
Staten is still considering Iowa State, but the Cyclones will have plenty of competition. Staten listed Oklahoma, Kansas, Iowa, Kansas State, USC, Arkansas and LSU as schools that have already expressed interest in him.
can't describe how happy this makes me. more the isu part than the ksu part (though he'd be a nice recruit to get).QuoteStaten is still considering Iowa State, but the Cyclones will have plenty of competition.

2012 guard Wesley Staten decommitted and then recommitted to the Cyclones.
Duncanville (Texas) point guard Deion Houston also has the attention of college coaches. Florida International - where Houston plans to visit in January - SMU, tcu, North Texas and Georgia State have all offered Houston. Oklahoma and Baylor have hosted him on unofficial visits, and Texas A&M, Kansas State, Texas Tech, VCU and Old Dominion are also showing strong interest.

so you are saying that if Perry Ellis called Bill Self tomorrow and wanted to commit, Self would say no?? I doubt it.
