Ishmail Wainwright behind KU bench.2013 stud.
Ish Wainwright has the body of a 20-year-old but don't see the explosiveness of a player that is ranked as high as he is in the 2013 class.
Had a chance to ref Semi Ojeleye on thursday and all I can say is WOW! This kid is a freshman who WILL BE a top 15 national player. He has a completely different set of skill level than Victor. They probably had six dunks in the game on Alley opp passes and breakaways. Tough defender and tremendous strength. Mid range jumper and unbelievable ups. Ottawa also has a kid who is going to Barton next year. He had five 3's and could score at will. IF they don't win 4A I will be shocked. They have a complete team with guard play as well. The Barton kid had four dunks and Semi had two. Talked to some people who said that Semi will probably stay at least one more year at Ottawa. But they didn't know for sure. That was their opinion not one of the coaching staff. Nothing concrete. I know Frank and staff probably have the fullcourt press on him now. We have to get this kid. WE should have the inside track I would think. I sat by Semi and his mom at the IUPUI game and had a good convo with them after the game. They seem to really love KSU. This is one kid I wouldn't mind offering as a Soph!

KC Pump N Run youngster Conner Frankamp has some game... In a battle with Pump N Run Elite 15's
• Chris Thomas (Landham, Md./Princeton Day Academy) made it difficult for defenders to keep him from getting to the basket. Chris has bursts of speed with the ball and can easily finish over or around defenders.
getting chris thomas into the thread, on the assumption that kstate has or will recruit him to some degree.

Back home in Wichita, KC Pump 'N Run 15U standout Conner Frankamp is known by the nickname of "White Chocolate". In Minneapolis, there was no need for nicknames because he was too busy getting buckets. Off the dribble, off of deep catch and shoots, the 5-foot-11 point did it all. Like his name would suggest, he's got some flair off the dribble but he's also a sneaky athlete who can convert tough finishes at the rim. He had a big freshman campaign (shot over 50% from three) at North High in Wichita and could be one to watch down the road.

nice wainright commentary.
Surprise player
Ishmail Wainright (Raytown, Mo./Raytown South)
2013, SF, 6-4, 215
It was quite evident during the scrimmages that Wainright is a tremendous talent. His length is awe-inspiring and he plays with assertiveness and purpose at both ends of the floor. Wainright is a mature-looking prospect and his jump shot needs refining, but he is a menace to stop in transition and he delivered a few assists that would have made Steve Nash proud.
Missouri prospect Ishmail Wainwright '13 has picked up his first two offers. They came from UCLA and St. John's.

Special shout out to coach Paul Mills from Baylor, coaches Rick Barnes & Russel Springmann from Texas, and coach Steve Lutz from Creighton for coming to my practice this morning!
Wainwright already holds offers from coast to coast. St. John's and UCLA were the first two to offer, but they have since been joined by Missouri, Baylor, West Virginia, Texas and Virginia Tech....
"My dad is trying to get me to stay close to home, I always thought I wanted to get farther out from home," he said. "When I was younger it was always Florida, Joakim Noah, I used to love his game. Then other players came up and it was different after all of them left."
Raytown South sophomore wing Ishmael Wainright will attend KU's Late Night in the Phog festivities.
Gabe DeArmond at PowerMizzou.com reported this week that Ishmail Wainwright will make an unofficial visit to Mizzou during football homecoming. Not sure if he will be in Friday night or just for Saturday. Columbia Rock Bridge Sophomore PG Travis Jorgenson has also informed the Mizzou staff that he will be joining "Ish" that day. Gabe also reported this today on PowerMizzou but I thought I would post it here because I also got this info from another source close to Travis.
Both played AAU together for a couple of years with the KC Cowboys and are friends. Jorgenson played in 2009 with MoKan and in 2010 with KC Pump & Run while Wainwright has played the past 4 or 5 years for Victor Williams and the KC Cowboys. Jorgenson has several verbal offers from some mid level D1 programs like Missouri St & SIU Carbondale. He's getting heavy interest from several BCS level programs in the Midwest including several Big 12 schools. The two schools at that level recruiting him the hardest right now are K St. and KU. Jorgenson likes the hometown school and Mizzou is certainly going to be in this recruitment if they want to be. For those that have followed him and had concerns about his size, he just measured 5'11" this week at school and has been dunking in scrimmages at Rock Bridge, and he doesn't turn 16 until April. He's going to be plenty big enough and athletic enough for Big 12 basketball. Landing both of these young men in this class would be huge.
Julius Randle will be at Late Night as well.
Doesn't Ben have his own recruiting thread?
Virginia Tech's Adrian Autry plans to watch Ishmail Wainwright '13 of Missouri workout today. Kansas' Bill Self will be there on Tuesday.
Malik Price-Martin, PF- A four-star prospect in the class of 2013, the slender power forward was able to score whenever he really wanted to. He consistently beat other big men and most guards down the floor and his mobility and quickness could help to make him a very dangerous weapon down the road. He will block some shots, scores with either hand around the rim and shows developing face-up skills. Adding strength is the most important thing for him to do.
"I'm a Kansas guy," he said. "Just growing up watching Kirk Hinrich and Nick Collison run the floor and play, I just love basketball and I love KU's style.
According to Jorgenson, he'll be in Columbia next weekend to see the Tigers take on the Oklahoma Sooners on the football field. Currently, he's received scholarship offers from Southern Illinois and Missouri State.
"Coach Self acts just like a friend," said Wainright. "He talks to me and treats me like I'm one of his players. He treats you like he would one of his players, and he's real cool. It's like he's my coach - that's the type of relationship we have right now.
"Coach Self is a great guy," he added. "You know, he's the type of coach that everybody likes to be around. When I'm around Coach Self, it's like I'm one of his players already, which is cool."
2013 combo guard Pat Birt from Plano, TX was good. Lefty has a nice-pullup J, is long and has some floor game.
Pat Birt, PG/SG- The skinny southpaw from Plano is a solid combo-guard who likes to attack off the dribble. He's got good size and really likes to use crossovers and between the leg dribbles to set-up pull-up jumpers. Shoots with range and can get others involved.

yeah, there's no story associated with the profile. the offer list thing on rivals is pretty meaningless unless there's an interview to go with it. and a fball offer will show up on a bball profile and vice versa.
what you don't realize (and it's excusable) is that snyder does not like recruiting and/or offering someone before they've played their senior year of football. So the thought of Snyder offering someone this early isn't very likely.

Semi Ojeleye is a good looking '13 prospect for Spiece Mo-Kan
Semi Ojeleye, SF, MoKan Elite- Physically, the 6-foot-5 sophomore wing from Ottowa (Kan.) High is a beast. Ojeleye already has a college ready body, is a good athlete and can power to the basket. Spot up jumpers out to the three point line aren't bad shots for him. He plays hard, but there's another level he can get to.
Georgetown commit Brandon Bolden '12 & Allerik Freeman '13 will play AAU basketball for Team Nike Florida this season.
Semi Ojeleye is a well built wing from the class of 2013 who had a nice opening night for MoKan Elite. The well built 6-foot-5 wing was aggressive to the rim, knocked down some open looks and appears to be tracking as a high major prospect. ? A teammate of Ojeleye and Willie Cauley on MoKan Elite, 2013 shooting guard Austin Ruder is a dangerous catch and shoot guy. At one point during MoKan's win over King James, the 6-foot-2 Ruder knocked down four straight threes during a four minute span while racking up 18 points. ?

would be great if martin/hill were watching jabari parker, but prolly not. with bradley and loyola as the other mentions, it doesn't feel that elite. maybe kendrick nunn? he's meanstreets. parker and taylor are mac irvin fire. jones was from simeon too, so worst case scenario would involve him.

Parker would excel in Washington's system as well. He actually visited Washington last weekend. A strong connection exist between Parker and Lorenzo Romar, beginning with Parker's dad being teammates with Romar on the Golden State Warriors.
Another factor in Washington's recruitment of Parker is that Parker's older brother Chris Parker is a candidate to join the Washington coaching staff. Presently he is a junior college coach in the area.
"I'd say Georgetown, Kanas State, and West Virginia are recruiting me harder than any other schools," Freeman said. "Right now, I'm at the point where if you're interested in me, then I'm interested in you."

Baylor visit makes sense since he's going to be in the DFW this weekend for the EYBL with team Florida.
I think it means Scott Drew continues to be "great" at getting in on kids early and he jumped on the fact that the kid was already going to be in Texas this weekend.Baylor visit makes sense since he's going to be in the DFW this weekend for the EYBL with team Florida.

Missouri Rivals site with an update on 2 Class of '13 MoKan products, Jalen Norman and Austin Ruder, from Nixa, MO. It doesn't appear that KSU is currently recruiting Norman but Ruder, a 6'2" 180 2 guard who's earned a reputation as a lethal spot up shooter, mentions KSU as 1 of several showing interest in him:
"Ruder lists Arizona, Arkansas, Kansas State, Stanford, Missouri State, Wichita State and Missouri among the schools showing interest. Ruder took an unofficial visit to Mizzou to see the Tigers play Kansas State this past season. "

Semi Ojeleye, SF, MoKan Elite- The 2013 four-star is still shaking off the rust from a recent ankle injury, but he's one of the most powerfully built wing prospects in his class. As he's developing his skill level on the perimeter, he's best when using that body to his advantage and getting himself some easy buckets in the lane.

telep.
Best performer at camp? Allerik Freeman. Keeps getting better. Played well on and off ball. Impressive run over the weekend.
2013 SG was probably most skilled and reliable scorer. All these schools that have offered will be glad they did.
NC State just offered 2013 guard Allerik Freeman of Team Florida, per his coach. Florida offered earlier tonight.
Allerik Freeman
2013, SG, 6-foot-4, 210 pounds
He entered the event as ESPN's No. 40 overall prospect in his class. By virtue of his performance and the fact he demonstrated the handle, IQ and bravado needed to the run the point, he's on the fast track up the rankings. The big-bodied guard owns a sleek crossover, range on his jumper and is now armed with the confidence to take his game to the next level. This was his breakout national performance and it was a memorable one.
I vote for no more Freeman updates.

Add Tennessee to the Al Freeman offer fest...
I agree that we shouldn't have any more Freeman updates. They make me sad. Good idea by sys.
Freeman was extremely humbled about everything that had happened. “I’m just appreciative of everyone believing in my talent,” he humbly said.
On his offers, the talented rising junior commented on his new ones. “Florida is a great program with a great staff,” he said. “NC State is on the right tracking trying to get back to the national spotlight. Georgetown has a rich tradition, and great staff with a nice offense. Tennessee is a place where my game fits in great.”
Allerik Freeman, SG- The 2013 four-star picked up right where he left off at the last EYBL session. A strong and skilled 6-foot-3 scorer, Freeman is an elite pull-up jump shooter. Uses shoulder fakes to freeze defenders and rarely needs more than two dribbles to create space to score. Polished player who is racking up high major offers.

still keeping my eye on nunn for signs of kstate interest. would think there will be something eventually.
Nunn: "The explosive lefty is a shot-maker and above-the-rim-finisher on the break. Nunn has a smooth and confident stroke with range to the arc. He is tough and competes on both ends of the floor. Nunn plays with energy and urgency as well. Nunn also did an excellent job on the defensive end by being a physical on-ball defender and even recorded a few blocked shots in transition. Nunn seemed to get better as camp progressed and he has great upside."

Thorpe is planning to take visits to Kansas State and Wisconsin this month.
“I’m looking for a school that fits my style of play,” he said. “[One that] likes to run half-court sets, but at the same time can push the ball and get up the floor in transition.”
As a native of the Steel City, it has long been said that Pittsburgh would be the team to beat for Thorpe. He even stated in the past that the Panthers were his favorite. Now, he’s wide-open.
“When I was younger, they were [my favorite],” Thorpe said. “That’s all I’d ever do, was root for Pitt. I guess I can see myself playing for teams other than Pitt, but I still like them a lot.

Really bro? You run a recruiting website, no rough ridin' crap? That might or might not be the reason I followed you in the first place, no need to spam it.
He seems like a cocky rough rider too, for almost no reason, like because he runs a little recruiting site he has a sense of entitlement or some crap. It takes a lot of me to unfollow people, especially when they do occasionally provide a relevant piece of info.
Capers just seems stuck up but isn't as nearly annoying as Nieves, at least on twitter.
I think the biggest issues those guys have with Kline is that he doesn't go to many tournaments. Well he's in goddamn high school, so I think that makes it a little harder to travel. He might not be providing scouting info on kids but when it comes to pure info on a kids recruitments its like rough ridin' walmart. A one stop spot for any info that you may need. What he does networking wise as a 16 year old is ridiculous.

QuoteKansas State, Seton Hall & Florida all called 2013 NJ Roadrunners standout Tyler Roberson today.
Tyler Roberson (Union, N.J./Union)
2013, SF, 6-7
After the first night, Roberson was a candidate for top player in camp. From a position standpoint he can go either way, he can be a versatile 4-man or potentially transition to small forward. Roberson was one of the camp's most active forwards on the glass, he has all the tricks offensively and boasts long arms. Don't be surprised if he turns in the kind of summer that makes him a priority high-major recruit; all the tools are there.
So our 2013 recruiting looks pretty great?Jeff Capel's 2010 recruiting looked great. Then all the guys giving OU mentions (Tobias Harris, Harrison Barnes, Doron Lamb, Terrence Jones, Ray McCallum) committed else where. eff mentions, eff them long and hard.
Allerik Freeman is another class of 2013 prospect with a great deal of big-time interest and numerous offers. The wing said that UNLV, Xavier, Virginia, Virginia Tech, North Carolina State, Miami, South Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, Georgetown, Oklahoma, and Baylor.
In addition, the Olympic (NC) standout said he has garnered looks from Kansas State, Louisville, West Virginia, Kansas, Texas, Villanova, Syracuse, Memphis, and Oklahoma State. Two others schools are starting to get in the mix as well.
"UNC and Duke, they made contact, but I would say they're recruiting me," Freeman said of the ACC powerhouses.
The Tar Heel State star said that he has no leaders right now and that no school in particular is pursuing him the hardest. With Wednesday as the first day that DI schools could call 2013 recruits, Free said he fielded calls from Memphis, Baylor, North Carolina State, Texas, Kansas, Villanova, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Miami, Louisville, and others.
Freeman, who said he does not know any of the current Villanova Wildcats, but is friends with 2012 pledge Savon Goodman, explained what he is looking for in a college.
"Just a coaching staff I have a good relationship with, a medium to up-tempo style of play . . . and then somewhere I can feel comfortable, home away from home," Freeman said, noting that location will not be a factor for him.
Syracuse & Villanova are expressing major interest in Allerik Freeman, a 2013 guard out of Team Nike Florida, per a source.
Hadn't really heard anything from him this AAU season, pretty sure he's not with Mokan Elite this time around.
Expected to be one of New York City’s top prospects in the Class of 2013, Jermaine Lawrence had a busy first few days following the June 15th date.
“I got calls from Cincinnati, Kansas State, Syracuse, Villanova, Florida, Virginia Tech, Rutgers, and a couple more,” said Lawrence last Friday afternoon.
The 6-foot-8, 190-lb power forward from Benjamin Cardozo High School has loads of potential and will be a player many elite programs track closely in the coming month.

While Missouri continues to pursue Hill, his latest visit also gave Mizzou's staff a chance to recruit Hill's parents.
"We met with the coaches in their offices and they were telling my parents all the stuff they told me on my last visit," Hill said. "My mom was taking notes the whole time they were talking."
Hill says his parents were impressed but his mom did point out one potential downside to Missouri.
"The one bad thing she said is that it's a brand new coach and he hasn't proven himself yet," Hill said. "I want to see how they do this season."
Hill will be back in Columbia in less than a week. He plans to attend Missouri's Elite Camp on Monday.

Over the past couple of months, Freeman has been racking up offers at an impressive pace. Among those who have offered are Baylor, Florida, Georgetown, Miami, N.C. State, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, UNLV, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest and Xavier.
Freeman would like to believe that those offers are a result of what coaches have seen from him in person and not just what they've read about him.
"The coaches that are offering have seen me play my freshman or sophomore year or in an open gym," said Freeman. "We had a ton of coaches come in the last period and had like 26 coaches from low to high majors come in. They are probably basing the offers off of that."
According to Freeman he's got no favorites and hasn't even thought about chopping down his list. He's looking into visiting Syracuse and N.C. State in August but doesn't have any firm dates.

This is going to be a :powerespect: comment, but I'll say it anyway:
We know Semi will be skilled enough, but it's the x-factor, the leadership and strong values that he'll bring to the team.
Just based on big bro. See? :powerespect:

no offense to big bro, but I haven't seen any x-factor or leadership out of him. I guess the values part could fly if by values you meant good christian. I guess the haircuts show some x-factor.
Did I mention that he's from Ottowa? Dunno, I just have a good feeling about Ottowans.

After picking up an offer from Wake Forest this week, 2013 guard Allerik Freeman of Team Florida was just offered by Georgia.
QuoteFrom kenny gillion: 6'9 2013 Antravious Simmons from South Miami High picked up an offer from Kansas St. The kid is a sleeper.
Antravious
SOUTH MIAMI FUTURE
There have been some lean years for the South Miami football team, but the future could be brighter thanks to some underclassmen.
The Cobras have a freshman and two sophomores who could figure in the improvement of the program this season.
Ninth-grade running back Bennie Powell, sophomore linebacker Matthew De La Vega and 6-8, 255-pound 10th grade lineman Antravious Simmons will be something very special for coach Eric Washington.
K-STATE OFFERS SLEEPER BIG
Published on July 1, 2011 by admin · No Comments
It looks like the recruitment of Antravious Simmons (South Miami HS) is about to pick up in a hurry. The 6’9 class of 2013 power forward recently received his first high major offer from Kansas State University. What makes this story so interesting is that Simmons is not on ANY recruiting list ANYWHERE. In the age of Facebook, Twitter, Skype, ooVoo and all the dot coms, dot nets and dot orgs that a 6’9 high major player in a major city goes unnoticed is amazing (SMH). However, Source Hoops saw Simmons back in April and college coaches who are subscribers to the Source Hoops Review already have the emerging big man on their radar. Simmons has shed about 30lbs and looks in great shape. He runs the floor well, has great hands, solid footwork and good moves in the paint.
Simmons will be traveling with Team Breakdown in July. His first stop will be at the Source Hoops Elite Camp July 5-6 at Palm Beach Atlantic University in West Palm Beach Florida. We expect his recruitment to go viral in July!!

So did we offer him because he is from Miami?
it sounds like Pastrana is already using his connections and garnering decent talent at his new job.
i don't think he ever made it to his rumored/scheduled visit.
2013 NJ Playaz PG Geno Thorpe plans to cut his list down to three schools & make his commitment in September.

After being watched by Rutgers & Pitt, 2013 PG Geno Thorpe of the NJ Playaz just spoke with Baylor.
Complete player
Allerik Freeman (Charlotte/Olympic) is the perfect example of a combination guard. He can excel at a high level on or off the ball and has a really sweet midrange game. Freeman has great court vision and command of the ball, and he attacks with a purpose and with great pace.
Geno Thorpe, PG- When rankings for the class of 2013 are expanded and updated after the summer, there's a pretty good chance that Thorpe finds his way into them. A native of Pittsburgh who will prep at Blair Academy in New Jersey, he's a point guard with good 6-foot-2 size, length and athleticism to spare. When he's focused and involved, Thorpe is a playmaker off the bounce and transition finisher. The biggest thing for him will be learning to play at full speed at all times and not take off plays. Pitt, Rutgers, Seton Hall and Wisconsin have already offered according to Thorpe and Kansas State, Davidson, Baylor, Penn State and Gonzaga have all indicated they will be recruiting him.
The rising junior has an amazing ability to get to the basket at will, yet still distribute the ball like a point guard. He is quick as can be and has an amazing motor that most point guards need to become high-major players. His defense is there too, but if he uses his motor on defense as much as he does on offense, Thorpe could be one of the most talented players in his class. With an inconsistent mid-range jump shot and a lack in strength, these two areas must be addressed before he hits college. While he is not the biggest point guard in the pack, Thorpe still has an amazing ability to get to the cup and either draw a foul or finish against a much bigger and stronger defender. It is easy to compare his game to a much smaller Deuce Bello, who will star at Baylor next year as a freshman.
geno thorpe is a smaller deuce bello.

For those who didn't get to see it, the Fla Rams won 89-82. Hill had 26 and 6 asts, didn't shoot it real well from the floor, but went 15-17 from the line. He is just lightning off the dribble, and damn near unstoppable in transition. His decision-making wasn't flawless, tried to split a couple double teams when it just wasn't there, but overall his ability to break down the D and then finish or find the open man is already pretty advanced. And his running and jumping ability is just off the charts. Would be amazing to hang in there until end of the process with this kid, we'll see what happens.
FSD, what was the # of the Rams forward you were talking about? I thought #12 was a solid combo forward type, #30 was long and athletic but not very skilled(sorry didn't catch their names). The game will be replayed at 10 and so you might be able to figure out who the guy is by rewatching it. That is, if the announcers ever got the names right, it seemed like they were hit or miss a lot of times.
The Florida Rams Black have a very intriguing big man in 6-10 post Landry Nnoko (Cameroon/Montverde Academy), who is originally from Cameroon. Nnoko has great length and runs the floor extremely well. Although he is raw on the offensive end, he makes his presence felt defensively by changing and blocking shots in addition to rebounding on both ends of the floor -- especially offensively -- where he can get his team a timely tip-in basket. Nnoko is still very much learning the game, but has very good upside.

Thanks for the tip UW. Just finished watching the replay. Hill is unbelievably quick with the ball. He is a bit careless with it, but who gives a damn, that will obviously get fixed, he is a great talent.
I'm assuming the guy sugar dick was referring to was #30 Landry Nnoko. He's their center who played quite a bit, but he didn't look old, just African :dunno:
• One of the better players in the Class of 2013, Malik Price-Martin (Miami Gardens, Fla./ Monsignor Edward Pace) continues to make strides in his game. As one of the nation's best underclassman, he scores well from 15 feet and in plus has a good IQ for the game. Defensively, he is long and uses that length to block and contest shots. His early list of schools are Miami (FL), Florida, Florida state, Kentucky, Louisville, UConn, Kansas State, Syracuse, UMass and California.
At this point, Freeman said he holds offers from Virginia, Virginia Tech, Miami, North Carolina State, South Carolina, Tennessee, Florida, Georgetown, Georgia, Xavier, Wake Forest, and others.
He listed six schools that he is hearing from but have yet to offer a scholarship. Those programs are Villanova, Syracuse, Kansas, Kansas State, North Carolina, and Texas.

"I'm probably going out to K-State in October," Freeman said. "I'll probably go to Oklahoma sometime in October, too. I'm going to go back to Villanova and back to Georgetown, too. I'll probably go to Wake (Forest) and Virginia, --the ACC schools around here -- also."
I like K-State a lot. They had that good run with Denis Clemente and Jacob Pullen in the backcourt. I know Coach Martin is a tough guy. He pushes his players and tries to get the best out of them. They let their guards go, too. I like that.

Scoop master Kline already reported the "Thorpe not transferring news" about 10 days ago, but at least there's some info in that latest update, albeit not as interesting as I originally thought it was.
Per DeAnte Mitchell of Collegiate Hoop, KSU recently extended an offer to the 4* 6'5" 210 wing from Ottawa. Already holding offers from Wisconsin and Missouri, Ojeleye also reportedly received offers from Marquette, Oklahoma St, and Oregon St.
The offer to Ojeleye means there are 6 reported outstanding offers from the KSU staff for the Class of '13. Given that we are only halfway through the live July recruiting period, we could see this list increase in the near future. For the time being, other reported offers include:
- Malcolm Hill 6'5" 190 wing Belleville, IL(East) SW IL Jets
Consensus Top 40 player nationally
- Antravious Simmons 6'9" 225 PF Miami, FL(S. Miami) Team Breakdown
- Kasey Hill 6'0" 160 PG Monteverde, FL(Monteverde Academy)
Florida Rams Black
Rivals currently ranks Hill as a 3* but based on his recent stellar play on the AAU circuit, look for that to dramatically change to possible 5* status
- Allerik Freeman 6'4" 210 Combo G Charlotte, NC(Olympia)
Nike Team Florida
Consensus Top 50 player nationally, could potentially be ranked in the Top 20 in his class.
- Tyler Roberson 6'7" 190 Combo F Roselle, NJ Roselle Catholic
NJ Roadrunners
Rivals currently ranks him as a Top 100 prospect and based on the analysts comments on his play, look for him to make a jump in the rankings when those are reworked.
A couple other prospects KSU may be on the verge of offering:
- Geno Thorpe 6'3" 170 Combo G Pittsburgh, PA(Shaler) NJ Playaz
- Travis Jorgenson 5'11" 165 PG Columbia, MO(Rock Bridge) KC Pump N Run

Texas just offered 2013 guard Al Freeman.
Geno Thorpe, Stewart’s backcourt mate with the NJ Playaz, listed offers from Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Seton Hall, and Wisconsin to go along with Baylor and Kansas State. He has no favorites at this point.
“Probably between Rutgers and Wisconsin,” Thorpe said of who is recruiting him the hardest.
He has taken visits to Rutgers, Seton Hall and Pitt. As for planned trips, he said, “I go to Wisconsin August 15th.”
Thorpe said location is not a factor and he does not have a timetable for a commitment.
Contrary to rumors saying otherwise, Thorpe said he will definitely be back at Shaler Area HS, near Pittsburgh (PA), next year.

so, so lazy.
Summer basketball has a bad reputation that's warranted on a lot of levels. But Dillon Graham's story is among the reasons it's foolish to paint July with a broad brush, because without the circuit that creates so many problems, a tale like this couldn't happen. Graham is, according to Scout.com, a zero-star prospect whose profile page is completely empty; Rivals.com has a similar scouting report. Which means Graham started the month with no national profile, and I can't imagine any of the out-of-state coaches who've now offered him so much as knew his name two weeks ago.
Graham began the first of two 10-day stretches during which college coaches are allowed to evaluate prospects at NCAA-sanctioned events by helping his summer team, the Florida Rams, win the Adidas Invitational in Indianapolis. The 6-foot-4 shooter consistently competed at a high level against high-major competition and proved he's more than just a skilled player preying on small-school opponents at First Academy.
"Kansas, Louisville, Maryland, Miami, Kansas State, Florida State and USF," Graham said Sunday night less than 24 hours after taking a phone call from Louisville coach Rick Pitino. "I kind of had a small idea that I could play at this level, but I never thought it would happen because I never thought I'd have the opportunity to showcase my skills."
Isn't Pastrana tight with the Rams?
2013 forward Andre Horne w/E1T1 says he has heard early on from Clemson, SCarolina, Fla.Atlantic and Kansas St.

Charlotte (NC) native Allerik Freeman is one of the most highly recruited players in the Class of 2013. In Orlando his school list certainly backs that up as he provided a long offer list yesterday that included Virginia, Virginia Tech, North Carolina State, Miami, Baylor, Oklahoma, Kansas State, Texas, Villanova, Georgetown, Xavier, Florida, Tennessee, South Carolina, and others. The four schools recruiting him who have yet to offer are Syracuse, Kansas, North Carolina, and Kentucky.
Freeman has no favorites at this point and said, “Everything about even right now . . . everything still wide open.”
He has taken visits to Virginia Tech, Baylor and South Carolina already and is planning trips to North Carolina State, Florida, Georgetown and Villanova.
“I know NC State and Florida probably [will be] during football season,” Freeman said. “Georgetown, Villanova probably in October.”
Schools from all over the country are recruiting him but when asked who he was considering he said: “Texas, Florida, Baylor, Kentucky, and Florida State.” All five of those schools have a viable claim to be on Hill’s list, he said. Hill said Billy Donovan has connected with him the most.
“Coach Donovan is the one coach I really, really know and, like, he’s a great coach,” Hill said.
"I want to go to a place (my brother) thinks is good for me," Ojeleye, a member of the class of 2013 said by phone on Friday. "I talk to him about it pretty much every day. He has my best interest in mind. He's not trying to push me to K-State."

2013 PG Travis Jorgenson (KC Pump N Run/Columbia, MO) Speed kills! Combine speed with quickness, and you have Travis Jorgenson. Jorgenson’s ability to get up the court lightning fast allows his Pump N Run teammates to either fill the lane for an easy bucket in transition, or Jorgenson will kick it out to one of the many deadly three point shooting teammates. In the half court Jorgenson creates space by using his highlight reel quickness to break the ankles of his defender with his crossover dribble to either pull up for the easy jumpshot, get to the rim or find one of his teammates for an easy bucket because he caused another defender to rotate over in order to stop Jorgenson from getting to the rim. If defenders relax for even one second Jorgenson will be by them and Pump N Run will have points on the board and back on defense before the defender can recover.
Kansas State spoke with 2013 NJ Playaz guard Geno Thorpe tonight. The Wildcats could offer soon.
Georgia Tech just offered Allerik Freeman, a 2013 guard from Team Nike Florida.
Quick Take: For the first time all summer Ojeleye played with his age group, and he led them to a title. A physical specimen, Ojeleye is skilled on the wing and also capable of dominating down low. Ojeleye showed toughness all event long in Ft. Wayne, and put his team on his back on they won the title.

KASEY HILL LEAVES HIS MARK
Kasey Hill is one of the fastest players in the nation from end to end and he possesses a terrific handle. That combination allows the 6-foot point guard to navigate through traffic in transition and lead the break. He has a lethal crossover that he uses to blow by defenders in a halfcourt setting and his body control at the rim is outstanding. The Eustis (FL) native is a deceptively good athlete who can really get up and throw down a nice dunk. He plays good defense on the perimeter and is capable of forcing steals. Hill’s midrange game is quite good and he can also hit shots from deep, though he could use a bit of work from there. He has a great feel for the game, a top-notch basketball IQ and knows how to lead a team. He might be an inch or two shorter than one would like, but he has time to grow.
Hill has exploded this summer into one of the most highly coveted players in the Class of 2013. The Montverde (FL) point guard listed Florida State, Florida, Kentucky, Louisville, Miami, Baylor, Central Florida, Kansas, Kansas State and Missouri. He said all 10 of those schools have offered him a scholarship.
2013 Allerik Freeman just picked up an offer from Memphis.
Plans to visit for Late Night are not set yet according to Allerik's father, Van. They plan to speak with his high school coach to iron out details first.

great conference armageddon scoop from roberson & kline.
Like Watkins, 6-foot-8, 195-pound small forward Tyler Roberson is also going to a new school this year. The class of 2013 prospect previously attended Union (NJ), but is now set to be at Roselle Catholic (NJ).
“Like, mostly because of like schoolwork,” Roberson said of his decision to make the transfer. “[This] could help me with my academics and they also have a good basketball team.”
As far as recruiting goes, Roberson has a host of schools coming after him.
“Kansas, Kansas State, a lot of Big East, like most of the Big East,” Roberson said of his list, adding, “A lot of other schools I can’t remember right now.”
Roberson said he holds offers from Cincinnati, Rutgers, Seton Hall, Kansas State and St. Joseph’s. He claims no favorites at this point.
“They’re all coming at me pretty hard,” Roberson said.
Location will not be a factor for Roberson, who said he has yet to visit any schools and has no trips planned.
“Sometime senior year,” Roberson said of his commitment timetable. “It could change though.”

1. New to the country and under the radar, not for long
Junior Etou (Jacksonville, Fla./Arlington Country Day) came to America seven months ago and recently completed his sophomore season at ACD. He played basketball in his native Congo but the experience is nothing like the high-level high school basketball and competitive AAU ball he's playing now with D.C. Assault.
Here's where Etou sets himself apart from other international players. His cousin is Serge Ibaka of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Now, Etou is not like "Air Congo." He isn't 6-10, he's closer to 6-7 but he definitely has upside and because of his situation, he's going to receive excellent tutelage and advice. He plays high school basketball for Rex Morgan, a former star collegian at Jacksonville. Ibaka is in his life and his own story of success is well-documented.
Troy Weaver is in the Oklahoma City front office and was formally a coach with D.C. Assault. That would appear to be the connection between his D.C.-based AAU team. Some of Assault's players studied at Arlington Country Day. Between Weaver's connection with the AAU program and Ibaka's mentoring, Etou has people looking out for him in the States, people who can help him develop and put him in position to succeed in the coming years. His English isn't bad (Ibaka's was not good when he arrived) but on the court his game translates just fine.
We know he's been to Florida's camp and says he watched the Gators and North Carolina when he was in Congo. Stay tuned!
Etou runs with DCA.

Surprise players
Hakim Saintil (Roselle, N.J./Roselle Catholic)
2013, PG, 5-11
He's a scoring point guard who can make open 3-point shots off the catch as well as in a pick-and-roll situation. He reads his defender going under the screen and can step back and knock down a 3. Plus, once he gets into the painted area he can score the ball or find his open teammates and deliver an assist. Defensively, he has quick feet and active hands and at times he can pick the ball handler for a clean steal.
Hakim Saintil | 5’11? PG| Class of 2013
Saintil transferred from St. Patrick’s (NJ) and will play his junior season at Roselle Catholic (NJ). He is a scrappy, tough point guard with a motor that keeps running. Though he is only 5’11?, he is muscular, which allows him to throw his weight around and defend larger guards.
Playing with Tyler Roberson (mentioned below), he showed that he knows how to play with another quality player on the floor. The two will be playing together this year at Roselle, as well.
The Hoop Group Fall High School Showcase wrapped up early sunday afternoon with the championship game in the American Bracket.
In the championship game a team comprised of mostly Roselle Catholic players held off Boys Latin PA 52-48.
5-foot-10 Roselle Catholic Jr. Hakeem Saintil buried two free throws with :13 renaining to put his team up 50-48. He then stole the ball and went in for a layup a few seconds later to ice the game.
Boys Latin was impacted when star senior guard Maurice Watson went out with an injury with 9:30 left and the score tied at 32.
Saintil finished with a game high 17. 6-foot-1 UMass Lowell bound Sr. Carlos Taylor led Boys Latin with 14 points and 11 rebounds.

Kansas State also watched PG Hakim Saintil '13 & SF Tyler Roberson '13 workout today per @TheRecruitScoop
Saintil barely played last year while he was a sophomore. Now, as his coach points out, his confidence has risen.
“The thing that stands out for Hakim is his confidence,” Boff said. “He has been playing with a lot more confidence than he did last year. He plays as hard as one can play every possession and that is why college are beginning to go after him.”
Some wonder whether the duo of Saintil and Roberson will continue to play together in college.
“Both Hakim and I have to choose which schools is best for us, ” Roberson said. “I would love to play with him in college because he is a great player and I have been playing with him since the sixth grade so we know each others games so well.”
Roberson added, “If it worked out, I would be excited.”

http://www.zagsblog.com/2011/11/28/roselle-catholic-is-loaded-recruiting-rundown/QuoteSaintil barely played last year while he was a sophomore. Now, as his coach points out, his confidence has risen.
“The thing that stands out for Hakim is his confidence,” Boff said. “He has been playing with a lot more confidence than he did last year. He plays as hard as one can play every possession and that is why college are beginning to go after him.”QuoteSome wonder whether the duo of Saintil and Roberson will continue to play together in college.
“Both Hakim and I have to choose which schools is best for us, ” Roberson said. “I would love to play with him in college because he is a great player and I have been playing with him since the sixth grade so we know each others games so well.”
Roberson added, “If it worked out, I would be excited.”

Notre Dame, K-State, Western Michigan & UCLA was in to see SG Leo Svete '13 score 25 points today.
so, is the point of following frank's 2013 (or even 2014) just to see the mentions? Or does any recruit that has been mentioned in this entire thread actually have any remote possibility of committing?
Florida, Kansas and Kansas St in the gym with Tyler Roberson today.
Anthony Grant of Bama is watching Roberson. My bad on Florida, my brain backfired.
According to his AAU coach, Diana Neal of Florida Assault, six schools have officially offered. “Miami, Central Florida, Seton Hall, Murray State, North Florida and Jacksonville have offered,” she said. “The schools expressing high interest are Virginia Tech, Alabama, UCLA, Maryland and Kansas State, with Tennessee, Marquette, Florida State, Georgia, Virginia and Memphis expressing interest.”

Saintil is HS and AAU teammate(NJ Roadrunners) of high 4* Tyler Roberson, who we offered a couple months back.

More Sunshine State news
Orlando Dr. Phillips High School has a reputation for producing outstanding scoring guards. The next explosive scorer in line is 2013 5-foot-11 point guard Rashawn Powell.
And not just a scorer at 26 points per game, Powell is also dishing out six assists per game.
Coaches are taking notice of Powell's abilities. Most recently to watch him play was Maryland assistant coach Scott Spinelli.
According to his travel team coach Diana Neal of Florida Assault, Powell has offers from Central Florida, Seton Hall, Miami, Murray State, Jacksonville and North Florida while strong interest is coming from Tennessee, Virginia Tech, Georgia, Alabama, Marquette, Virginia, Kansas State, Memphis, Georgia Tech and UCLA.
From a college standpoint, 6-foot-7 junior Marquise Pryor is the team's top player.
Pryor showed off a great motor and high-major athleticism in outplaying Young's Jahlil Okafor, a member of USA Basketball's U16 National Team, in the first half Wednesday. That explains the long list of Division I schools recruiting Pryor.
The best part about Pryor could be his attitude. The box score showed just six points against Young, but Pryor understood his impact went far beyond that.
"I just work hard, play my best and do whatever it takes to win," said Pryor, who reports offers from Kansas State, Oakland, Colorado State, Loyola, DePaul and Illinois. "If I have to get 20 rebounds or 30 rebounds and two points, I'll do that if that's what it takes to win."
• The Hoops Report has said it before and will say it again, Orr has some of the most overlooked, least talked about players and prospects in the city and suburbs. Give me 6-6 junior Marquis Pryor, junior point guard Jamal McDowell and 6-5 sophomore Tyquane Greer any day. Pryor is among the top dozen prospects in the Class of 2013. Greer, who received his first offer last week from Providence, will see his stock explode soon. And McDowell is the type of point guard you win games with as he's tough, under control and a winner.
Sounds like we've offered Pryor, and it sounds like he held his own against the more highly touted Okafor, who we've also offered.

I'm not sure if offering you would have been as ridiculous as offering Juevol, but it might have been close.
interesting to see all the chicago smoke and fire, 2-3 years since they last appeared to target multiple chicago players.
Will he actually be able to play the 3, or continue to be an undersized 4?
With all we have heard lately, is the Prior offer the final nail in the Semilore coffin?
I think they just added another ORD daily :gocho:interesting to see all the chicago smoke and fire, 2-3 years since they last appeared to target multiple chicago players.

Pryor gets rated 91 by ESPN(as far as I can tell that's just outside their Top 100). ESPN also reporting the KSU offer. Scouting report pasted below, it's super insidery so if any of you super insidery types out there care to share, your EMAW will receive all the recognition it deserves.

Semi went for 34, or just more than his average, last night against a previously undefeated Baldwin team. Someone who saw the game told me many were bombs from the outside. Listed as 6-7 now.

It’s hard enough for 7-foot-5 high school basketball players to become fluid enough to become legitimate factors on a consistent basis during games.
It’s even harder when said player has only been living in the United States for two years and recently had a tumor removed from his pituitary gland.
Those are the circumstances for Mamadou Ndiaye, a mammoth 2013 prospect from Brethren Christian (Calif.). He came over from Senegal two years ago, enrolling at Stoneridge Prep (Calif.) and obtaining a student visa. When that school couldn’t afford his aforementioned surgery, enough money was raised through charitable donations to cover two operations. A couple near Brethren Christian – more than 80 miles from Stoneridge – became Ndiaye’s legal guardians.
Most players Ndiaye’s size are awkward and can’t move well on the basketball court, but as the video below demonstrates, he has some skills. Aside from not winning the opening tip (no clue how someone 7-foot-5 doesn’t win a jump ball), he is able to drop-step and finish, and knows how to get position inside against smaller players. His touch from the free-throw line also was decent, and he clearly has pretty good hands.
Expect to hear plenty more about Ndiaye in the coming months.
UPDATE: Talked to a few people about Ndiaye. The competition he faces in Brethren's league is poor, and includes some co-ed teams. He's not likely to go to a different school, though, as his host family has kids that go to Brethren and Ndiaye seems loyal to them. In terms of recruiting, he has been on Santa Clara's campus, but it's still quiet for now. That will change soon.
and knows how to get position inside against smaller players.

“I just felt that I can get better and I need one more year to improve my strength so I can get to college and dominate,” Henry told InsideTheU.com on Friday night. “And [this way] I can be talking about the League in a year or two.”:horrorsurprise:
Fanning, basically every high major recruit has aspirations of making the League and most aren't shy about expressing their belief in themselves that they can make it.
Maybe Henry has the timeline accelerated a little bit, but he's bringing the swag, hopefully he can deliver on that for the KSU Cats.
Fanning, basically every high major recruit has aspirations of making the League and most aren't shy about expressing their belief in themselves that they can make it.I agree. I like the zeal. I feel like most say they want to get to the league, but aren't that honest on the time frame. Good for him.
Maybe Henry has the timeline accelerated a little bit, but he's bringing the swag, hopefully he can deliver on that for the KSU Cats.
In no way would I say he's ours now, "hopefully" was probably the most important word in my post.
I know Miami has been going pretty hard after him for a while now, Clemson has a couple of his AAU teammates from Team Breakdown playing/set to play for them, Memphis is the latest to enter the picture and they could be a real threat.
Martin seems to have a pretty good relationship with TB's coach, Kenny Gilliam(we've offered a couple other current prospects - A. Simmons, R. Lee, and I know everybody remembers our run after K. Boynton).
I think we have a good shot, but definitely not done deal. We'll see how it plays out.

summary pls
thanks UW. that's kinda discouraging though.
thanks UW. that's kinda discouraging though.
Well if it makes you feel better, we did already offer and strike out on a couple of highly rated PGs in this class in Geno Thorpe and Kasey Hill. Thorpe is a 3* Rivals Top 150 that we were on pretty early, seemed like we had a good connection between his Dad and Evans, but he went with Penn St, also snubbing Wiscy and Pitt.
Hill really blew up last summer, was ranked as a Top 30 player nationally, was offered by basically everybody, became clear he was super elite, cut KSU from his list, and recently committed to Florida. Just for the heck of it, google some of his mixtapes, he's ridiculous. Might end up being our version of Kyrie Irving in this class, not kidding, but still :blank:
I guess my point is, we've been trying, still got some time for guys to emerge from obscurity on the AAU circuit in the Spring, the sooner we got on a player the better though, obviously.

Stats: Ojeleye has the physique of a post player — he’s 220 pounds — but he can jump so high, altering shots along the way. He averaged 8.7 rebounds. Ojeleye can also step out on the perimeter and run the point or hang out at the three-point line, where he shot 38 percent. A strong ballhandler, Ojeleye can run the point, too. His versatility is one reason that a college from every major conference has offered him a scholarship, including Kansas State, Missouri, Stanford, UCLA and Wisconsin. He averaged 32.2 points and shot 61 percent from the field. He led Ottawa to the Class 4A championship game and a 24-2 record.
College: Kansas State

Yep. The fact that he had 8 top 100 kids on his roster this year and still got fired shows he is a poor recruiter. Part of recruiting is evaluation and getting players that fit what you want to do, both from a skill perspective and personality perspective. Additionally, all but ONE of those top 100 players were from Illinois, so color me completely unimpressed.

I see your point, but it's a little funny you have to put multiple qualifiers on Weber's Top 100 recruits.

I agree, but this isn't consistent with what you've always said about recruiting. The last four years Weber recruited well and at least he's leaving Illinois with multiple Top 100 players on the roster. He may not repeat that here, but even if he can keep some ties it's possible that when Weber fails he could leave his replacement with more Top 100 talent than Frank left him. It's not like we complained that most of our Top 100 players were from DC when we got them, do I don't get the big deal about them being from Illinois.
Look, I've laid out plenty of legit concerns for Weber, I just don't see "really bad recruiting" being one of them.

howard was a former illinois player. just sayin. i mean, as long as the illinois AD didn't offer howard a lot of money to come back to illinois to only pull the offer and substitute it with a much lesser offer at the last second then getting howard to come back shouldn't have been too hard.

5 ways John Groce could revive Illinois basketball program (http://www.suntimes.com/sports/11673646-419/5-ways-john-groce-could-revive-illinois-basketball-program.html)
1. Hire Sonny Parker as an assistant coach/director of basketball operations. A former NBA player, the father of Simeon superstar Jabari Parker is as qualified as Alaska prep coach Ronnie Chalmers was when he was hired by Self as ‘‘Director of Basketball Operations’’ in 2005 — three months before his son Mario began his freshman season at Kansas. (Ronnie Chalmers left Kansas ‘‘to pursue other interests’’ five months after Mario Chalmers left Kansas for the NBA in 2008 — just as Ed Manning left Kansas months after Danny Manning in 1988; and Lafayette Norwood left Kansas months after Darnell Valentine in 1981.)
i don't think I'm too far off when I say thatoscar'sFrank's "resurgence" in recruiting was strictly due toJerrance HowardDalonte Hill. W/outhowardDalonte,oscar'sFrank's recruiting was terrible.
Weber may be terrible. He may not get the same results from average talent that Frank got. Frank's signature. But, let's call a spade a spade. Frank's recruiting was not on par with a top 25-35 program without Dalonte. Frank landed Robert Upshaw. The single remarkable recruiting achievement in the post-dalonte era.
Other notables: Gipson (3* #147), Diaz (3* 148), Rodriguez (3* NR).
Moral of the story, coaches need recruiters on staff. Frank didn't have one at the end. Weber had better have one or his time here will be short. Pretty simple.

"I was very disappointed," Parker said after Simeon advanced to the state semifinals Tuesday. "That was a person who first recruited me growing up. I feel like if the (new) coach there tried to recruit me (we) wouldn't have a better relationship than (Weber and I) had. That really plays a key."

Frank did at the end and always has (obvious exceptions are the spring recruits) gotten players that fit what he wants for his program and just didn't collect stars. I thought rusty did a beautiful job of conveying this, did you read it? Dax liked to call them right fitters, whatever but oscar Weber at Illinois is the perfect example that fit is very important.

Ah, the "stars don't matter" argument. Badge worn proudly by tucks all across Kansas.
So, umm, I guess this dude has already visited KSU??? We're all about timely scoops here(For those of you who may not be aware, Meanstreets is the Chicago based AAU club that Pullen ran with):
"Ellis has visited Kansas State in the past and likes what they have to offer.
“I have been down there and watched Jacob Pullen play. I like their stadium and atmosphere. The student section is crazy.”
These are his second and third scholarship offers after receiving one from Northwestern. Ellis will be playing with Meanstreets 17U this spring and summer."

“About 10 minutes later oscar Weber called me to see how I was doing. He wanted to put an offer on the table. He really couldn’t offer me at Illinois because they had commitments from Malcolm Hill and Jalen James which I understood. He said he really likes my game and the potential for me to fit in with their program. He said I would be replacing Rodney McGruder and could fit in at his spot. I was really surprised. I didn’t know oscar was that interested in me. I didn’t know the number when it popped up on my phone!”

I think our mention got louder:crossfingers:
BOSSI!QuoteI would expect oscar Weber and Chris Lowery to hit Kansas City the first day they can be on the road (Thursday I think). Clayton Custer and Semi Ojeleye are priorities for them to see and I think that they'll also try to stop by and see 6-foot-8 power forward Tory Miller (2013) at Lee's Summit North.
People close to Laimonas Chatkevicius say that nothing has been decided regarding his status yet. K-State will be happy to keep him on if he wants to stay, but he's significantly linked to Underwood and my personal opinion is that he will end up asking for a scholarship release.
Wouldn't be surprised to see Cats try and get in on Michigan transfer Evan Smotrycz but it may be too late for that with him already setting up visits.

I've been best friends with Victor since middle school.
Semi will be a senior next year and he won't sign with a school till right before his senior basketball season. Now that Frank is gone we actually have a great shot at getting him. He likes the idea of a new coaching staff and the new bball training facility. Weber also did meet with him already as well.

they think underwood is a great recruiter and they think jeter is tied to him.
Can't blame the guy for wanting a decent PG on his side to help him develop. Do whatever is best AG, hope that means staying put when we get a PG in the next week or two...
I think next year will be an interesting one for them. Frank's style is very difficult for casual fans.
Re-extend the offer Webs, it's only right*:
Xavier Rathan-Mayes, SG, CIA Bounce – The performance of the day came from Rathan-Mayes. With his CIA Bounce squad down double figures midway through the second half he absolutely came alive and torched the Milwaukee Rebels. For the game Rathan-Mayes went for 41 points and did it in as impressive a way as possible. He scored going to the rim, hit from deep, and also showed his great mid-range game. It was extremely impressive efficiency, and Rathan-Mayes dominated an entire half of basketball giving his team an overtime win.

Bossi has his ear to the ground, Weber at Lee's Summit North to check on Miller, looks like he was previously recruiting him at Illinois. We'll see how KSU's foray at PNR works this time:
"#50 Tory Miller C 6’8 (2013) – Tory Miller is a big, physical post player for the Lee’s Summit North Broncos. Tory has good moves on the low post but needs to work on putting moves together. With his big body he can maneuver around smaller high school players; however, at the college level he will need to shore up his offensive game by making more than one offensive move to the basket (he still has plenty of time). Tory does a good job rebounding the ball, and is an intimidating force down low on the defensive end. Tory has good foot work and above average hands."

http://espn.go.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/112723/tory-miller
http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/recruiting/player-Tory-Miller-114157
Prior relationship with Parker will get K-State in the door, but I think actually landing him will be a pretty tall order. I would expect KSU to feel that one out early and make a decision whether it's worth their time to devote a lot of effort there.
Semi Ojeleye will obviously be a major target in 2013 and they are definitely interested in Ishmail Wainright as well.
Once the staff gets finalized and they can go out and watch guys, names will start to pop up.
Hitting Chicago hard:
"Colorado State, Wichita State, Xavier, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, those are the schools I know that are coming after me the hardest," Davis said.
"When I last talked to my father who is handling my recruitment he told me that Minnesota was looking at me as well," said Davis. "At this point I am in the real early stage of my recruitment so I am really open."

"I've been following Illinois. I was recruited a little bit before the coaching staff left, I think it was Coach (Jay) Price, and I'm looking at them a little bit now. They're picking up my recruitment more now. I've liked the program for a while and what they've done in the past. Not this past season, of course."

http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/recruiting/player-Marcus-Lee-122096
Kansas State has offered 2013 forward Alex Etherington - the brother of Indiana's Austin Etherington.
Here's 1 of those prospects that apparently just popped up as having a KSU offer in the Rivals DB, Marcus Lee 6'8" 200 PF from Antioch, CA, AAU team is Bay Area Hoosiers. 3* NR on Rivals, 90 on ESPN.
I couldn't find any update that specifically states he has a KSU offer, latest update from Rivals sorta mentions KSU, but I'm not certain that's enough to rely on. It does look like he has confirmed offers from Northwestern, Texas, Texas A&M, VCU, and Pepperdine along with strong interest from Stanford, Cal, and Washington. Rivals recently listed him as 1 of "10 prospects worth scouting this Spring"
Again nothing specific regarding KSU(that I could find) but could be a name to watch.

Kline:QuoteKansas State has offered 2013 forward Alex Etherington - the brother of Indiana's Austin Etherington.
Indiana Elite South teammate Alex Etherington looked good as well. The 6-foot-5 wing is an athletic driver who plays with physicality.
Alex Etherington: 6’6” Small Forward, Hamilton Heights H.S./Indiana Elite South (2013)
May have had about the best day of anyone that I saw. Alex was very, very impressive. He showcased great isolation skills, made some really nice drives to the basket. His combination of size, strength, and athleticism makes him very difficult to stop. Has reported new interest from the likes of Penn State and Boston College among others. If he plays like he did today all summer, offers should roll in.

From the Xavier Rivals site:
"Alex Etherington - Indiana Elite 17u SF: High major coaches see Etherington as someone that could be a nice role player at the highest level or a really good, and instant impact, player at a good mid-major program. Over the weekend he played well enough that he should get more high major interest. Etherington is a very good slasher that can make plays off the dribble at 6-foot-6. He's got deceptive athleticism and explosiveness around the rim while having a strong build as well. His handle is good enough for him to play either guard spot, and he's really aggressive in trying to drive to the rim and draw fouls. Etherington is a good, not great, shooter who has a nice stroke from the line but doesn't seek out a ton of perimeter jumpers. Defensively he oozes toughness and is one of the more competitive players on the AAU circuit. Kansas State is recruiting him the hardest right now but Xavier is interested, as are several in-state high majors."

Lot of scollys to offer in this class(looking like 5 right now), they can't all be stars. It's a way down the road but if this kid ends up being the headliner in this class, then yeah, that would be pretty disappointing but this kid sounds solid and has been steadily improving since his rough injury during his SO year.
PG - Harris(kid from DFW)?
Harris does sound pretty solid, we'll see how much progress we can make there.
Don't forget about Alvin Ellis, he was about the 1st player the new staff offered for '13. Sounds pretty similar to Etherington, blue collar wing with enough athleticism to make plays when given the opportunity. He plays on a loaded Meanstreets AAU team so he doesn't put up big #'s, but they are a very tough team and he knows his role with them.
Our chances with Semi are a hell of a lot better than they were 6 weeks ago. They went from ZERO to whatever they are now.
No question he's a big time, highly coveted recruit. It will be tough but there's a chance.

I think any time a staff makes him your number one priority (as this staff has), it will help.
Obviously, the Ojeleye family has a preference for KSU. That includes his parents, which, again, also helps.

Bossi said Weber was going to make Wainright a priority. Now obviously a lot of other schools have also done that. The thing with Wainright is that he is not completely tied into KC right now. He played at Montrose Christian in the DC area this past season and I believe the plan is for him to finish his HS career there. He's also playing AAU ball with the DC based Team Takeover. I do believe his family is back in KC, I know his younger brother Ahmad played at Hogan Prep in KC this past year. I just don't know strong the "local" pull would be with this kid, I guess we'll see where it goes from here.

No idea, but I'd guess the Illinois connection could be helpful.
Well, the update says Weber and AB3 are recruiting him, so he's probably a kid that Weber was aware of when he was in HS. With AB3 having recently been at Bradley and with his roots in the JC ranks, I imagine there are some connections there at Kankakee.
Important to note no offer from KSU yet, will be interesting to see if the visit actually takes place, sometimes those unofficials fall through.

Yeah, after Parker, Ellis was about the 1st guy Weber offered on the job at KSU. He's playing on an absolutely loaded Meanstreets AAU team that is having a very good run in the EYBL, so while he's not putting up huge #'s there, he's part of a very successful team. I know that when he has been matched up against Parker, he has been noted for his ability to at least slow Parker down with his defense.
I've never seen Ellis listed at 6'7" as he was in the latest update. At this point in my mind, it's kind of a tossup as to whether I would take Ellis or Etherington. They both sound like solid, blue collar high major wings. Ellis sounds like he may be a better athlete but Etherington sounds like he may be a better shooter. Will be interesting to see how it unfolds.
Posts on Ellis start on 4/5.

Scouting report stuff on Brown linked below(video included in 2nd link):
"Vitto Brown - It's tough to even begin to argue that anyone in the state of Ohio is as good of an interior defender in 2013 then the 6-foot-8 Bowling Green prospect. Brown, who plays with both Spiece and the Ohio Phenoms, is a great shotblocker and shot alterer, who rebounds at a high rate and is getting better on the offensive end. Offensively, he is skilled at shooting the jumper out to 17 feet, he can put it on the deck and shake slower defenders, and he has good vision. His feel for the game is improving and most importantly he has elite athleticism as a leaper and someone with quick feet. As he improves his strength more and more schools will keep calling, but he has a head start on the game as he currently lists his top four as Kansas State, Illinois, Butler, and Minnesota."
http://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1367512
"Evaluation: The top defensive big in the ’13 class in Ohio, no one alters or blocks more shots then Vitto. A strong build with long arms that can get off the floor high and quick his impact on the defensive end is huge because he can guard any post player one on one without any help. Emerging offensive threat with a decent stroke out to 15 feet and the ability to put the ball one the floor once or twice. Solid rebounder and finisher who uses his strong base to play with power.
Bottom Line: Looks to be right in the middle of the mid-major plus category. Has plenty of MAC and Atlantic 10 interest, with several offers at the moment. Defensive specialist that plays hard, passionately, and with a high IQ who has the capabilities to become an offensive threat."

Semi Ojeleye just dunked so hard he shifted the basket. Took five minutes to put it back to normal.
remember when weber bragged about that guy at SIU whose only other offer was from a last-place MIAA team? And then Weber bragged about it?:frown:
New name(sorta), Isaiah Taylor 6'1" PG from Houston(but originally from Norcal), playing AAU with Texas Pro, has impressed scouts with his ability to beat opponents off the dribble and create for himself or find open teammates. He's also been noted for playing a solid floor game and making good decisions with the ball.
Taylor was a prospect that Martin's staff had been in some contact with. According to Scout's Josh Gershon, Weber's staff has resumed recruiting Taylor given the AB3/Houston connection. Taylor currently has offers from San Jose St, George Mason, and Lehigh with interest from Pepperdine, Washington State, Illinois, Texas A&M, Cornell, Kansas State, Florida State and LSU.
From NBE basketball report 5/28:
"PG Isaiah Taylor (Texas Pro)
Taylor displayed good lead guard skills, with the ability to get his teammates into their offensive sets and the quickness needed to make plays himself both evident. Taylor’s got good handle and while he isn’t a world-class speed guy he’s plenty quick enough to be a handful for defenders."

*Everyone here should be fairly aware that the odds of KSU landing Parker are not high, but KSU has offered him and Parker has not formally narrowed his school list. So he gets the esteemed distinction of a goEMAW mention here, unlike Wainright, who has been invited to the camp, was offered by KSU, but recently eliminated KSU from his list.
we are going to rough ridin' suck soon.
weber seems like he doesn't have very high self-esteem. i would think that a nazi would be more arrogant and haughty.
OK, maybe the shotgun effect will work, maybe this is just getting out of hand, but as of now, it has been reported that no fewer than 14 prospects in the Class of '13 have received an offer from KSU. We are currently looking at 4 openings for that class.

I'm pretty sure Weber sucks ass but not because he's a worse recruiter than Frank Martin
I'm pretty sure Weber sucks ass but not because he's a worse recruiter than Frank Martin
I'm not really worried about the recruiting. It probably won't be much better or much worse.

the lesson weber learned from his ui failure was to not recruit such talented players.
#kstate just got a commitment from 2013 small forward Alex Etherington. 3 star vintage Indiana kid has played well of late. Good get.

okay everyone, i'm a current junior Peru High School. i personally know #40 and he is no longer a student at Peru High School. He recieved no disciplinary action and played the rest of the season. he recieved a scholarship to play basketball at Kansas Weslyan University. now, personally knowing #40, its possible that he did this on purpose. but i was not present at this specific basketball game so i did not see first hand what happened.? i cannot choose either side since i was not there,:sdeek:
Bossi from last weekend in Vegas.QuoteIndiana Elite South teammate Alex Etherington looked good as well. The 6-foot-5 wing is an athletic driver who plays with physicality.
http://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1357918
Some dude from Indy the weekend before last.QuoteAlex Etherington: 6’6” Small Forward, Hamilton Heights H.S./Indiana Elite South (2013)
May have had about the best day of anyone that I saw. Alex was very, very impressive. He showcased great isolation skills, made some really nice drives to the basket. His combination of size, strength, and athleticism makes him very difficult to stop. Has reported new interest from the likes of Penn State and Boston College among others. If he plays like he did today all summer, offers should roll in.
http://indianarecruitingguide.com/2012/04/indy-ball-recap/
Sounds like Xavier has also recently contacted this kid, we'll see what happens with his recruitment from here.
I guess I don't hate the commitment. Maybe I should. Sounds like Xavier interest was real.

I'm not convinced the Xavier offer for Etherington was/is legit. It was not being displayed on his profile on Saturday, then it all of a sudden appeared there on Sunday after it was known he had committed. The Rivals database is a good guide but is notorious for having random stuff like that just pop up out of nowhere.
On top of that, I had not seen any reference anywhere to Xavier offering him. Interest, yes. Offer, no. If anybody can find any article specifically stating he was actually offered by Xavier, then you're a better message boarder/googler/info sleuth than I am.
Linked below is a fairly insightful update from Scout's Snow about the Etherington commit. It's free.
http://scouthoops.scout.com/2/1195725.html
Everytime Webber has landed a kid I have tried to rationalize it by saying it's a decent get under the cirumstances yada yada yada. Then I go on to say I'm ok with this kid but we're in trouble if all of our recruits look like this. Well I've officially come to the conclusion that all of our recruits under Weber are going to be like this (Johnson, Orris, Etherington). Fringe high major kids who are maybe fine as the last player in a class but are never going to be anything more then role players. We're going to have a team full of role players, I wonder how that is going to go for us? Maybe he can redshirt all these kids and when they're senior's we can finish 5th in the big 12.
Well since of the majority of the Frankites have now officially decided to completely forget about the absolute steaming :bs: piles that Frank managed to cobble together on the recruiting trail multiple years . . . I'll play the role of the glass is half full.
Apparently the kid had been hurt correct? Apparently this is his first full year of AAU ball correct? Now unless Bossi is talking out of his a$$ it would appear that the kid via his play on the AAU circuit was going to start garnering some significant attention.
So it appears the K-State staff has gotten in on a strong prospect early, and apparently the kid has ties to a 2014 Top 50 prospect we've already offered.
I'll now return you to the fact that K-State had to resort to putting Martavious Irving on its 2012-2013 Season Ticket Poster.
Who said the whole team was going to be like that Daris?
Its one recruit, they'll be how many rides next year? 3?
I guess the Frankites don't quite understand that locking down a solid role player leaves time for the guys you really need and then you don't need to scramble for effing Juevol Myles types in Feb.
I just the Xavier rivals report and they are saying the kid is a high major role player.
So it appears the K-State staff has gotten in on a strong prospect early, and apparently the kid has ties to a 2014 Top 50 prospect we've already offered.
dax- the staff has signed 3 players so far and it is my feeling that all 3 are garbage. how many more do they need to sign before i'm allowed to have an opinion?

question- what does franks not great and sometimes hilariously laughable recruiting while he was at kstate have to do with oscar weber and his so far horrible recruiting.
answer- nothing.
i mean honestly, what's the thinking here. frank's recruiting wasn't great so nobody should ever say anything about weber's crappy recruiting? frank recruited and signed buchi awaji and then ran him off so we aren't allowed to discuss the six foot five inch white forward from indiana that was widely regarded as a mid major at best?

You can talk about it all you want Daris, quit being such a pussy and quit whining because someone isn't in complete agreement with you . . . if Weber signs 3 of these guys then I'll be right there with you, and who are these people doing the "widely" regarding?

i would also add the fact that his older brother was good enough to get a scholarship to indiana but he wasn't, is proof that people don't regard him as a high major and is pretty damning. i mean, indiana didn't even show interest in him at all and his two year older brother plays there on scholarship. Or maybe it's not damning, maybe we've already given up on trying to be as good at basketball as indiana. i mean why should we? they're indiana and we're just little old kstate. oh and btw, frank martin once recruited juevol myles so i mean you can't forget that. i mean i'm pretty sure that fact is pretty relevant to what we're discussing here.
Not an insider so I can't read the ESPN stuff . . . but "coming into the spring" aka 3 to 4 months ago, he was regarded as a mid-major prospect.
Now, he's considered a mid major impact player, and a high major role player.
Alex Etherington - Indiana Elite 17u - The 6'5 wing is a player that a lot of high majors are recruiting, but not one that anyone has made a top priority at this point. Over the weekend Etherington played more like a high major. In leading his team to a quarterfinal matchup with the Florida Rams he displayed high level athleticism, toughness, and an aggressive penetrating style. He still needs to show more as a shooter but he has a chance to go somewhere like Xavier and become a solid role player.
Alex Etherington - Indiana Elite 17u SF: High major coaches see Etherington as someone that could be a nice role player at the highest level or a really good, and instant impact, player at a good mid-major program. Over the weekend he played well enough that he should get more high major interest. Etherington is a very good slasher that can make plays off the dribble at 6-foot-6. He's got deceptive athleticism and explosiveness around the rim while having a strong build as well. His handle is good enough for him to play either guard spot, and he's really aggressive in trying to drive to the rim and draw fouls. Etherington is a good, not great, shooter who has a nice stroke from the line but doesn't seek out a ton of perimeter jumpers. Defensively he oozes toughness and is one of the more competitive players on the AAU circuit. Kansas State is recruiting him the hardest right now but Xavier is interested, as are several in-state high majors.

Oh yeah, because one school doesn't offer a kid a scholarship, that's PROOF he's not anywhere close to a high major prospect. Good Call DarisPussy.
Bossi must have been talking way out of his a$$ then. Damn you Bossi . . . :shakesfist:
Wait a second, Indiana has had (2) 6-6 forwards committed for . . . . NEARLY TWO YEARS, hey hasn't Etherington been hurt?

yep. total crap recruiting by frank. i can't wait until after this year when we can get some of franks crappy recruits graduated and more of webers recruits in. things will really take off then. you nailed it as usual dax. try not to stare me down too hard while you're circling the bases.

I know you're pretty upset right now as usual Daris, having just realized that Will Spradling, yes Will Spradling; the kid who helped get Frank run off from K-State will end up having really nice stats at K-State because Frank couldn't recruit anybody to beat him out . . . so you're not thinking real clearly. Wow, what would you call that anyway? Irony, coincidence, a dilemma, destiny?
But as I said, if this kid turns out to be the crown jewel of the class then I'll agree with you're saying here.
I am also pretty happy to know that I can consider anything that Eric Bossi says complete crap and not worthy of my time.

will didn't have much/anything to do with frank leaving. you're off if you think that.
bottom line seems to be this... you don't have any issues with weber's recruiting so far, but think "Frank's recruiting was such $hit". i do have an issue with the recruiting under weber so far and i don't think that "Frank's recruiting was such $hit". we're at pretty opposite ends of the spectrum here. i think we'll be really good next year with all the players that frank recruited, but will get worse over the next five. based on everything you've said the past few pages you think the exact opposite. if you need to wait five years to see who is right and who is wrong, then so be it i guess. also, i'd love to be wrong and be a much better team in five years with all oscar players then we will be next year with all frank players fwiw.

So a lot of Frankite hate directed at Spradling for no reason then? But I am not really off.
I will admit that the first 3 recruits look a lot like the 2008 and 2010 class (well, I don't think they're that bad), and the majority of the 2011 class, so that is a concern.
I plan on giving it more than 3 months though.
If BW is supposed to fail in the next few years...why does it matter what kind of recruits he gets anyway? I mean, the basis on this argument is that he failed at Illinois with his own recruits, so he will fail at KState with his own recruits... didn't he have pretty good recruiting classes in his last few years? (9 - 4 stars in the last 3 years to be exact) It seems to me that getting all worked up because he signed a 3 star is a bit pointless if you think he is going to fail anyway.
I never said it was a Frank vs Spradling battle Daris . . . but that issue help compound other issues. LOL damn.
Also there's nothing to figure out, as of right now the brand new coaching staff is recruiting no worse than Frank did in not ONE, not TWO, but in TWO and HALF of his recruiting classes (and that's being extremely . . . nice) .

look i think we each understand the other's side by now so we can probably quit. based on what i know, i don't think spradling really had anything to do with frank leaving. you do. i think frank's recruiting was ok. you don't. you think weber's recruiting, including this most recent recruit is ok. i don't. you are taking a wait and see attitude with things. i'm not, because i feel i already have enough information. that's the summary. we'll see how we do next year with all of franks "shitty" players still on the roster. i think we'll get worse when they leave. you don't. time will tell. see you in five years.

Decent but not great summary. Frank's recruiting was okay . . . and that was a problem. I don't think all of Frank's players are $hitty . . . I think we'll be pretty good this year . . . I think Spradling will have a better year, but I see this new kid as being not that much different than a Spradling type recruit . . . I have my doubts about Weber, but its unfair to throw him under the bus right now . . . I have never said anything in this thread about getting better or worse after Frank's players leave.

well you called franks recruiting "was such crap" and then also said that you don't have a problem with webers recruiting so far. so it would make sense to me that you think webers is not as bad and hence would lead to better results. what am i not understanding? i mean you aren't really saying that you think franks recruiting "was such crap" and that you're ok with webers recruiting,while at the same time not insinuating that the bball team will win more games and be better once franks "shitty recruiting" has all graduated and has been replaced with webers acceptable recruiting are you? that would be preposterous and i don't think you're preposterous. that's not what you're saying is it dax?

I may have embellished some on Frank's recruiting, but everytime I go back and look I am still astounded by how horrific it was multiple years; simply awful. In fact, in Frank's last signed recruiting class, once you get past Gipson and Angel, on paper, that's just not good recruiting . . . with a nod to Diaz for possibly turning out to be a good DITR. That's what Frank landed with an Elite Eight and with the feel good Jake story to tell in is hip pocket.

(once again for emphasis) I may and will readily admit that if things don't pick up, I'll look back at Frank's recruiting as the halcyon days. How many times can I say if things continue as they are I will agree with you are saying Daris? (just asking again because it doesn't seem to register).
Oh, and I've made no implication, indication or prognastication about what's going to happen when Frank's players are all gone. I will now . . . if Weber doesn't smack a couple of solid triples (at minimum) in the next 6 to 8 months recruiting, it will go down hill quickly after 2013-2014.
Not a bad idea Jacksie . . . :lol: at Frankites who used to get all :excited: if Frank's teams actually defended a backdoor cut well, it was so bad, they had to point out and go crazy when it was actually defended. Sad

BFD . . . that was year 4 or 5, with a $500k a year "recruiter" on staff, with an Elite Eight and Jake and company hanging in his hip pocket. 2 high 3 stars, then a tall guy with 1 offer, a decent juco player and the rest utterly forgetable. Any coach who could recruit worth a $hit at a major conference D1 school could land that type of class in their sleep and twice on Sunday . . . Particularly after 4 or 5 years of success and hanging on the coattails of a legend, who left the cupboard stocked with 2 NBA draft picks.
That's the least I would expect out of the current staff after they've been around here for a year.
my favorite part has been dax covering every base possible. franks recruiting was shitty but we'll somehow be really good with all franks players next year. oscar's recruiting has been fine so far but no idea if we'll be better or worse after franks shitty players leave. it's basically dax at the plate with the bases full of dax ghost runners at this point.
Cassidy reporting KSU has offered Malik Price-Martin just this week.
http://rivals.yahoo.com/kansasstate/basketball/recruiting/player-Malik-Price-Martin-114637
It just now dawned on me that the Price-Martin offer reportedly came the day before Ojeleye started proclaiming to the world that the 4 schools recruiting him the hardest are Duke, UCLA, Indiana, and Arizona.
Maybe just a coincidence, but I gotta wonder if our staff was starting to see the writing on the wall with Semi to an extent.
My favorite part has been Daris extending all my statements into fantasy land. I defend Weber ever so slightly has been extended by Daris into me saying that K-State is going to do a lot better under Weber than K-State did under Frank.
Then there's Daris skipping over entire sections of what I said, perhaps RD suffers from a form of dyslexia and thus I should not taunt him so . . . sorry if that's the case RD , or should I say yrros nam s'p dan s't.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this staff is going to need a couple of years to establish some sort of bond with really good players. I think that's our only chance to land elite talent. They just aren't going to "Wow" anyone*.
Our best chance of getting Top 100 kids will be in 2014 and beyond.
*Yes, I'm aware of this and have been aware of this; it's not a recent development.
Per Bossi, Harris planning to visit Arkansas and TCU at the end of the month and will possibly visit Texas and Marquette shortly after. KSU is mentioned as a school strongly pursuing him.
http://kansasstate.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1377451
Combining that update with the following update from the Virginia site, it sounds Harris plans to cut his list after July, take officials to his finalists and then make his decision before the early signing period is over in November.

We may be pursuing him, but is the interest being reciprocated?
"And it just hasn't affected his aggressiveness, I think that's what surprised people the most."
"I won't go for a two-handed dunk off one leg any more."
Spoke to Semi Ojeleye's coach earlier. Said he hasn't narrowed down, "Just the most aggressive schools. Nothing to do with Semi's interest."
great job by our local party leaders of targeting appropriate level recruits for relentless propagandizing. wasting time is a waste of valuable party resources.

I would really like to see Foster a part of KSU's class, Hawkins I'm still kinda meh on. D. Thomas jumping up to 9 out of nowhere like that is certainly intriguing, will have to try to keep tabs on him during the July live period.

Kansas State has offered 2013 Team Takeover (DC) wing Josh Hart, per a source. DePaul & Cincinnati offered earlier in the week.

but said he has talked to his father and may postpone his decision until after the season. Hart listed his current top five as Georgetown, N.C. State, San Diego State, Marquette and Villanova.
Thanks, UW.
This may or may not effect Ojeleye's decision, but Rodney Hood transferring to Duke.

Well, he can throw it down pretty well, nice catch and dunk off the lob.

Sounds like KSU has contacted former Illinois commit, 6'3" PG Jalen James, along with a lot of other schools:Jalen James is awesome. Great news
"Currently he(James) holds two offers from Colorado and SMU. There are many other schools that will be watching him closely.
“As of now everything is wide open. Schools I’ve heard from are Nevada, Colorado, Nebraska, DePaul, Kansas, Kansas St, Tennessee, Oregon St, Dayton, SMU, Memphis, Florida St, Providence , Oklahoma St, and Rutgers.”

Marcus Foster, 2013 SG, Dallas Mustangs: We were first intrigued by Foster at Rumble in the Bronx this past June when he showed that he is a fantastic shooter. Friday Foster did more of the same, scoring 18 points in the first half rout of OBC. Big 12 schools such as Kansas State and Oklahoma are coming after the shooter and for good reason.
Really wish we had a master thread for 2013 recruits.

Henry’s skill stands out
One Miami native watched another operate in the post and had to be impressed. With South Carolina head coach Frank Martin looking on, postgraduate power forward Demetrius Henry (Fort Lauderdale, Fla./Faith Baptist) went to work.
Since the start of camp, one could make the case Henry has as much aptitude in the post as any big in attendance (Nichols and Jermaine Lawrence notwithstanding). Henry is comfortable backing down and going to work. He’s strong and diverse on the offensive end. You have to respect his ability to work to the rim from midpost in. We ask young posts to have one move, that’s it; Henry’s got a mixture of a few. That is good enough to be a high-major postman in any class.
The next step for Henry is bringing it every night and rebounding to his capabilities. He was outstanding one game, then played to mixed results in a pair. He’s improved since a year ago and still has work to do. The good news is he’s taking his fifth year seriously.
“I wasn’t ready for college,” Henry said. “I needed to work on my body more.”
Kansas State, Miami, Murray State, South Carolina and Virginia Tech are ringing him up and there’s more on the lengthy list.

From Premier Bball twitter last week, KSU now showing interest in 6'3" SG Jordan Mathews from Santa Barbara, CA.
Scout's Josh Gershon also reported KSU's interest in Mathews at this last weekend's EYBL event in Oakland. Mathews is reporting offers from Colorado, VCU, San Diego St, San Francisco and Wyoming. Along with the new interest from KSU, he has additional interest from Indiana, Butler, TCU, Cal, and Nevada. He took an unofficial visit to Cal this weekend.
From the Bossi report and video linked below, Mathews has a great shot at jumping into the Top 150 thanks in large part to his stellar play in the EYBL for the California Supreme, coached by Miles Simon. Mathews's Dad, Phil, is an assistant at UCLA.
The best I can tell, Mathews would be an AB3 recruit, Phil was on Doc Sadler's staff at Nubb for 4 years, AB3 was part of staff at Ark Ft Smith JC directly after Sadler left there to become an asst at UTEP. Phil has also been HC at a couple different Cali JCs throughout his career.

Snow from the Peach Jam:
"Damian Jones, PF/C, Texas Titans – While (Julius)Randle was dominating on the offensive end, Jones was doing on defense. The long and athletic interior prospect was blocking shots and in general causing havoc with his length and athleticism. Offensively he is still very raw, but Jones can develop into a game changer with his natural shot blocking."
http://scouthoops.scout.com/2/1204315.html
Now we're looking at around 5 offers to primarily combo guards in this class - Harris, Singer, Foster, Mathews, and Miles.
Mathews is a big-time scorer who can flat out stroke it from deep. From what I've been able to gather he and Foster have fairly similar games, Mathews is a little bigger, he's 6'3" maybe 6'4" while Foster is 6'2". I still hope we're in good shape with Foster.

Vitto Brown has joined Ohio Basketball Club for the week but only played five minutes even though OBC was beat decidedly by the Dallas Mavericks. In his little time played Brown stood out as one of the better players around the cup when the ball goes in the air. He instantly gets low to make contact and clears out whoever is trying to get past him. It's too bad he didn't get more time as Bo Ryan was in attendance as were assistants from Nebraska, Minnesota, and Kansas State.

Quote from: TheRecruitScoopKansas State is now expressing interest in 2013 PF Matthew Atewe of the Northern Kings (CAN).
Not rated. Sounds about right.
"Team Canada had many familiar names in the Nike Global Challenge that coaches are very familiar with. One player coaches got a chance to see that they might not have known a lot about was Matt Etewe, a 6-foot-9 C/PF in the Class of 2013. Etewe will spend next season at Notre Dame Prep and is a member of the 2013 recruiting class.
Etewe definitely looks the part of an athletic post player and his recruitment will be one to track into the fall. Schools are becoming more and more familiar with him and his recruiting list is just beginning to formulate.
“Auburn, Purdue, USC, Marquette, Illinois, St. Bonaventure, and a lot of others,” Etewe told NBE when asked about his recruitment."

What's the story on this Foster dude.
Good, sucks? Apparently, it's down to us and Creighton (which it sounds like is going to start being par for the course for the Bruceketball era).
My impression is that he's fairly under the radar and could be pretty darn solid. His skills are best suited for the 2 at this time, is considered to be a combo guard as he can play some point but his handle and decision making need to improve to be considered a full time option there. NBE hoops recently ranked him #122 in their Top 125 for '13, which was posted in this thread a few days ago. There's been several reports over from the last few months from tournaments talking about his ability to score proficiently,(24 PPG in HS ball) both knocking down deep jumpers and getting to the rim off the dribble.
Probably the most impressive thing I've read about him was from his AAU coach from the Dallas Mustangs, Gerald Booker. AAU coaches are notorious for pumping their prospects up beyond belief, but on a team that featured 5 other high major prospects - Leyton Hammonds(Oklahoma St), Nate Hawkins(Nebraska), Zach Coleman(Missouri), Jeff Carroll, and Soma Edo - Booker pointed to Foster as the guy he wanted to have the ball when they needed a bucket in crunch time:
"Marcus Foster has the ability to score against anyone in the country. He works hard to get open and is really good at keeping the defense off balance. When the game is on the line, Marcus is our go to guy. He is very explosive and hard to guard."

My impression is that he's fairly under the radar and could be pretty darn solid. His skills are best suited for the 2 at this time, is considered to be a combo guard as he can play some point but his handle and decision making need to improve to be considered a full time option there. NBE hoops recently ranked him #122 in their Top 125 for '13, which was posted in this thread a few days ago. There's been several reports over from the last few months from tournaments talking about his ability to score proficiently,(24 PPG in HS ball) both knocking down deep jumpers and getting to the rim off the dribble.
Probably the most impressive thing I've read about him was from his AAU coach from the Dallas Mustangs, Gerald Booker. AAU coaches are notorious for pumping their prospects up beyond belief, but on a team that featured 5 other high major prospects - Leyton Hammonds(Oklahoma St), Nate Hawkins(Nebraska), Zach Coleman(Missouri), Jeff Carroll, and Soma Edo - Booker pointed to Foster as the guy he wanted to have the ball when they needed a bucket in crunch time:
"Marcus Foster has the ability to score against anyone in the country. He works hard to get open and is really good at keeping the defense off balance. When the game is on the line, Marcus is our go to guy. He is very explosive and hard to guard."

great stuff UW
If we lose recruits to Creighton, can we burn it down?
Sounds like Foster and Carroll will both be visiting KSU weekend of Miami game, will take.
From last weekend in Vegas, not bad:
"* Jordan Mathews always plays hard and his shooting keeps getting better. He hit a couple threes and long two-point jumpers in Cal Supreme’s victory over the Oakland Soldiers. "
"Jordan Mathews is looking to trim his list to five and has five standouts – USC, Indiana, Marquette, Kansas State and Gonzaga. "

Marcus Foster would be a very, very nice pickup for you guys. We were in on him for a long time, and things looked promising until Johnny Jones and Shawn Forrest got hired by LSU.Foster is getting closer to 6'3 though, plus he plays on a deep AAU team. Really has hampered his recruiting buzz for my money.
Foster took a couple of unofficials to North Texas last year, and I've seen him at a few AAU events around DFW. He's definitely power conference good.
Edited to add: The only reason you could consider him under the radar (sounded strange to me, because we've been chasing him for 2+ years) is that he's only 6'1". Still worth getting, if you can land him.

This was PM'd to me...QuoteHad a chance to ref Semi Ojeleye on thursday and all I can say is WOW! This kid is a freshman who WILL BE a top 15 national player. He has a completely different set of skill level than Victor. They probably had six dunks in the game on Alley opp passes and breakaways. Tough defender and tremendous strength. Mid range jumper and unbelievable ups. Ottawa also has a kid who is going to Barton next year. He had five 3's and could score at will. IF they don't win 4A I will be shocked. They have a complete team with guard play as well. The Barton kid had four dunks and Semi had two. Talked to some people who said that Semi will probably stay at least one more year at Ottawa. But they didn't know for sure. That was their opinion not one of the coaching staff. Nothing concrete. I know Frank and staff probably have the fullcourt press on him now. We have to get this kid. WE should have the inside track I would think. I sat by Semi and his mom at the IUPUI game and had a good convo with them after the game. They seem to really love KSU. This is one kid I wouldn't mind offering as a Soph!

Hope we can get Ellis down here sooner than later, I could see both Foster and Carroll committing shortly after their visit and then the staff finishing the class with a big(getting Atewe after his visit). I could see the class being done in about month looking like this:
Marcus Foster
Jeffrey Carroll
Alex Etherington
Matthew Atewe
I would personally rather have Ellis than Carroll.

The problem is that we took Etherington way too early. What should have happened is that we ended up with Foster, Carroll, Ellis, and Atewe.
l
If Etherington gets us Bluett (sp?), then it's worth it. If not, we should have gotten Ellis and Carroll.
Honestly, Carroll or Ellis...doesn't really matter. I think Carroll has a higher ceiling if you can work out some of the mechanical stuff and put some weight on him.
I know its been said, but I want to thank UW for all his recruiting contributions. Nice job bro.

Recent update from Kline:
UTEP, San Diego, California, San Diego State, Wake Forest, USC, Marquette, Gonzaga, Colorado, TCU, Kansas State and VCU have all offered Mathews, whose father is an assistant coach at UCLA. Interest is also coming in from UConn, Indiana, Texas A&M and Kansas.
"Nothing is set in stone yet, but visits are being setup to California, Marquette, Gonzaga and Wake Forest," he told Rivals.com.
http://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1398676
As Mathews himself stated, nothing is set in stone in the recruiting world, but I think a reason why KSU isn't towards the top of his for receiving a visit is Foster chopping list down to 2 and visiting KSU on 9/8. Mathews and Foster primarily project as 2 guards with the possibility of being combo guards who can really both shoot from deep and score at a high level. They both sound like solid to very good prospects but it would be doubtful if we could have room for both in this class.
Sounds like Foster and Carroll will both be visiting KSU weekend of Miami game, will take.
Kellis does get the scoop on Westicles visiting this upcoming weekend, same as Mathews. Writeup featuring Westicles, Mathews, Carroll, and Foster linked below.
Good job Kellis.

The Foster article on the Creighton Rivals board is pretty funny.
Underdog would you rather have Foster or Mathews?
Any chance we take both? Like Foster as a combo and Matthews as a true 2? Also what are your thoughts on Westicles? Is he our #1 target on the wing?
Underdog would you rather have Foster or Mathews?
Ah, there it is, the big one. Let me 1st just say that if either one wanted to commit tonight, I would take it without hesitation and not look back.
But since you asked, rare is the day I would turn away a Rivals 4*, but I would go with Foster. I just think he might be bring a little more athleticism and physicality while still possessing a high skill level.
I like what I've read and briefly seen on Mathews, but if he were an absolute impact prospect, then why hasn't UCLA even given him a sniff(where his Dad coaches)?
Marquette has also offered both of these guys, which is pretty interesting considering that they're thought to be in real good shape with consensus Top 50 SG Kendrick Nunn. Buzz loves him some guards and he's usually pretty damn good at picking which ones can play.
This may be 1 of those posts that is worthy of a laughable bump in a couple years, but I've been driving the Foster bandwagon for a while now, I'll stick with him. I'd take Foster.
4 visits in the next few weeks. If Weber could bat .500 I'd be pretty pleased.He can't.

Few players throughout the tournament attracted the crowd of Division I coaches as Barreno did for each game. Barreno is a big-bodied post man who has nice touch within 10 feet. He could be a major asset for a program looking for a player to be that anchor in the paint."

not as highly rated as goebbels' illini recruits. not even as highly rated as the gems of lowery's big siu class that never went to a tournament, iirc.
but it's different at kstate. here we just plug coaches in and out and go to the tournament no matter who's in charge.

wonder if we have a for real offer to him or not

Westicles, SG (Houston/Westfield)
There are more players coming out of Texas than ever before. The sheer volume of the crop from the state rivals just about any other talent-rich area and I’m not talking football. Westicles ran with the Harrison twins on the circuit, thus the reason for his slow play nationally.
Westicles is a major student-athlete (yes, in the real sense of the word). He can score off the bounce and he’s got mid- to high-major game. In the last two weeks he’s visited Kansas State and SMU. Drake, Colorado and Lehigh also like him.
what cal wants, cal gets.
I see what you did there. :eye:
Can someone remind me what Foster's timetable is again? Is he the one who was adamant about signing in the fall?
From the Cal rivals mod/reporter guy, Mathews officially visiting there this weekend(he visited there a couple times unofficially), seems to think chances are good Mathews will be committing to Cal shortly after that visit. Mathews does have trips set up to Wake Forest on 9/14 and Marquette on 10/12. We'll see what happens.From Kline, Mathews just committed to Cal. Cal rivals mod/reporter guy was not full of crap.
Better land Foster now, we can land all the feel good stories on the wing we want, but if nobody can score in the backcourt, it's probably not going to mean a whole lot.

I will take my talents to Manhattan,ks to play for coach oscar Webber at Kansas st
Yep Koppe, the last 5 posts have been devoted to the Foster commit, I can't speak for our staff, but out of the prospects still available to us in this class, Foster was at the top of my big board, really looking forward to watching him get buckets at KSU down the road.
The bottom line is that it's good to get some momentum in hoops recruiting.

Marcus Foster a big get for K-State
September, 10, 2012
Sep 10

PM ET
By Reggie Rankin | ESPN.com
New Kansas State head coach has landed a shooting guard in Marcus Foster the fits the Wildcat style of play and will have an opportunity to excel right away if he is ready to learn how to attack in Weber's motion offense that he learned at Purdue and took with him to Southern Illinois and now at Kansas State.
Foster will be allowed to explore on the break in order to look for opportunities to finish but the spacing and screening of the motion offense will create this tough bucket getter some advantages to take his defender off the bounce and score in a variety of ways.
I can see Foster now coming off down screens, curls and spacing on the side of dribble penetration ready to attack.
The last time I saw Foster he was scoring quick, fast and in a hurry, I think he is explosive but will need to get into better shape to take his game to the next level. Also at Kansas State oscar Weber will play full court pressure man to man so Foster will be having to give up great effort on the defensive end as well all in which he is very capable.
Overall it is great to land a prospect from the talent rich state of Texas and a player like Foster who has great upside and with hard work will be a marked man on opponents scouting reports right away.

http://rivals.yahoo.com/kansasstate/basketball/recruiting/player-Jeffrey-Carroll-121993 (http://rivals.yahoo.com/kansasstate/basketball/recruiting/player-Jeffrey-Carroll-121993)
The only problem I see, is they look like the same Nick Russellish player. Good shooting stroke, not very physical or athletic.
In terms of style of play, neither Foster nor Carroll is really similar to Nick Russell. Russell was/is a lanky 6'4" whose strengths were facilitating and playmaking. Not that he wasn't a decent shooter and he still might end up being a very good one at SMU but honestly his offensive skills were probably best suited to play PG but his lack of quickness/footspeed made it difficult for him to guard opposing PG's.
First and foremost, Foster is a scorer and he can do that by draining jumpers from deep, from mid-range and he has the athleticism to take it strong to the rim and finish. While he can knock bunches of perimeter shots in a hurry, he is more of a scorer than shooter at this point. He's better suited for the 2 than the 1 at this point. It's really his ballhandling, passing, and playmaking skills that he needs to improve in order to see any time at the 1.
Watching Carroll's highlight vids, I was actually fairly impressed with his athleticism but, again, he does not appear to be a standout ballhandler or passer. I like his jumpshot from mid-range. I think he really needs to put on some solid weight but I think his length and athleticism will allow him to compete in high major ball and I think that's why he's received so many offers.
So in summary
Russell --> Lanky playmaker with enough scoring to keep defenses honest but not overwhelming athleticism
Foster --> Physical scorer who needs to work on his playmaking skills
Carroll --> Long, athletic wing with nice shot but still could use some improvement there
This does not guarantee Foster and Carroll having more success than Russell at KSU, but stylistically, none are really that similar.
we need another big
Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing us locking up Atewe in the near future. Sounds like at the very least he can provide a physical, shot blocking presence.
Demetrius Henry's athleticism and offensive ability looks pretty intriguing but he's said he wants to sign late and I'm not sure if we can wait on him, or if we could even land him if we did.

That kid can jump. The dunk at 1:20 was pretty "Wow".
He looks much smoother in this video, which I presume is a lot of footage from the summer circuit. He slashes well and seems decisive when he gets the ball.
I'm still shaky on him, though, and probably unfairly so.
It's over 1 year old but still a pretty informative scouting report on Patterson from the Indiana Rivals site, done in 5/11. FWIW, Patterson played AAU ball in the same organization that Etherington did, Indiana Elite:
"Ron Patterson - the 6-foot-3 shooting guard dropped further than all in the Rivals150, down to #115. He was #65 during the summer last year and a bit lower than that through the winter. It should probably be noted that he's higher ranked by Rivals competitors---top 100 everywhere else. Two things are holding Patterson back in the rankings and it's not news to anyone -- he's not quite as tall as you'd like in a wing and his ball handling is a weakness. The latter is really the biggest issue for him. He could actually be a pretty good point if he could improve his handle, he has nice passing instincts as it is today. And nobody, I mean nobody guards a point like Ron can when he sets his mind to it. Ask Marcus Paige, the UNC point guard commit. Patterson stripped him twice within a minute or two when Indiana Elite played Paige's All Iowa Attack team in the Run-n-Slam semis. Same lesson was learned at the AMC by Demetrius Floyd even though his Baylor LNO team pulled the upset of Indiana Elite.
One improvement Patterson needs to make is a little better channeling of his emotions. I have a son with the same issue and many of you have it -- tendency to bottle everything up and then have it show in a temper fit. This might mean an unneeded tech or as in the case for Patterson at the AMC, storming off the court before shaking hands with the opponent and consoling teammates. Learning to let things go without becoming to unemotional -- fine line there that hopefully he'll find soon. At the same it's great that he's competitive and really cares--again find the fine line.
Patterson reportedly played well out in Denver at the Double Pump event there in late April. But that wasn't see by the scouts or the web sites. Besides his uniquely quick hands and feet, the best thing Patterson has going for him is a pretty smooth jump shot.
From what Indiana Elite people tell us, Patterson is going to move to the Indiana Elite One squad. That's another 17 & under team under the same organization. For the most part it's the same guys he's played with in past summers, so he's familiar with the players and the coaches. The Indiana Elite team with all the five recruits was kind of thrown together just for this offseason and it's probably unrealistic to think things would go smoothly.
As far as the rankings go, a guy who can defend and shoot like Ron Patterson should be in the top 100. The ball handling issue is why he's probably not a top 50 prospect right now but that's probably as far as maybe you should be penalized for that weakness."

The good thing about Indiana high school basketball players is that they all tend to be pretty good at the next level, even if they are rated as 2 or 3 star guys. Brandon Wood, who played at Michigan St. his senior year was the 18th best player in the state in the 2007 class.
Quote from: TheRecruitScoopKansas State is now expressing interest in 2013 PF Matthew Atewe of the Northern Kings (CAN).
Not rated. Sounds about right.
"Team Canada had many familiar names in the Nike Global Challenge that coaches are very familiar with. One player coaches got a chance to see that they might not have known a lot about was Matt Etewe, a 6-foot-9 C/PF in the Class of 2013. Etewe will spend next season at Notre Dame Prep and is a member of the 2013 recruiting class.
Etewe definitely looks the part of an athletic post player and his recruitment will be one to track into the fall. Schools are becoming more and more familiar with him and his recruiting list is just beginning to formulate.
“Auburn, Purdue, USC, Marquette, Illinois, St. Bonaventure, and a lot of others,” Etewe told NBE when asked about his recruitment."

Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing us locking up Atewe in the near future. Sounds like at the very least he can provide a physical, shot blocking presence.
Demetrius Henry's athleticism and offensive ability looks pretty intriguing but he's said he wants to sign late and I'm not sure if we can wait on him, or if we could even land him if we did.

Known Big options still on the table for this class are Atewe, Henry,V. Brown, H. Martin, Gavin Schilling(sounds like a longshot) and maybe Marquise Pryor and Fallou Ndoye.
Akoy Agau and Joel Embid are a couple other bigs KSU has been in contact with but I don't think the odds are high that KSU can land them.

From Zagsblog, update on Patterson::emawkid:
The 6-foot-3 guard has been “very impressive” in his tenure so far at Brewster (N.H.) Academy, head coach Jason Smith told SNY.tv.
“Xavier is going to meet with his parents at their home Monday,” Smith said. “Providence comes on Wednesday. And Kansas State next week as well. Pitt is very interested.”

I think that height is a mis-type. Westicles is 6-foot-5 at best. Lanky, pretty athletic and can shoot a little. Of the KSU commitments, I like him the best now and think he has the most long term upside.

our need for a big has been constant, this commitment doesn't change that. it's a glaring problem as i look at the make up of our team and can't wait for b'dub to sign a 5 star stud to address the issue.

Jr: Shane, Doc, EMAPE
So: Angel, Gip, Diaz, Nino
Fr: Orris, DJamer
'13: Foster, Iwandu, Ethrington, 4th guy
Setting aside any #burnitdown or #bruceketball biases, can anyone talk me off the ledge for our basketball team after this year, and especially after Angel and co. are gone? Really counting on you UW. Basically I need to hear that DJamer, Foster, and Iwandu are all way underrated by most of the recruiting services and we will still be able to go to NCAA Basketball Tournaments in late March.
i know you indicated that your question was rhetorical, but i'm answering that bitch anyway. it sounds fantastic.
i hope oscar gets a purple suit for his first game in the OOD which is coming up a little more than a month out. i bet we win by 30.
He only does blazers. He's not Steve Harvey (unfortunately). He'll definitely have a purple one. He'll do a "Paint the OOD Purple" promotion and wear it then. :emawkid:
I think we can score Nancy Negatives 3 vs Peggy Positives 0 , in the Bruceketball Challenge, is he trying to usurp the WRSOAT title from his football compatriots. :curse:
Matthew Atewe is one of the most sought after big men in the country, and over the weekend he took an official visit to Kansas State. Atewe took time about to talk about the visit and what information he got from it.(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fhoopdreamsmag.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2012%2F09%2Fmatthew_atewe-610x250.jpg&hash=0c04dfb2b072261e82cbe3bdb96175f77d1f37c8)
“Visit went well, and I’m going to set up two more so far,” said the 6’9 Canadian power forward. “I just loved the whole family environment and the fact that I can always be around the coaching staff and not feel awkward.”
The coaching staff left a lasting impression on the Notre Dame Prep senior.
“Their very personable and can relate to what you’re going through,” he added. “I also loved that the team was like a family and all the fans are crazy about the team as well.’
“They also showed me how they play and I liked that as well, Just a great visit overall.”
Atewe has not made a choice on what two other schools he would be visiting. It’s kind of difficult when you have to choose from over 15 division 1 schools.
Atewe claims KSU to be the favorite at this point but he’s still wide open in his recruitment.
does anyone know if there are any eligibility issues he's going to run into now that NDP is on the NCAA's watch list?
like sam cassell jr is dealing w/ @ maryland?
if we get Atewe, I would be happy. I would also be okay with Brucing EMAPE and going after someone else too.

It's not about "letting" guys drive to the bucket, if a player has the ability to get the rim and draw fouls, it will happen.
Hopefully Foster will bring that ability to KSU.
Atewe will next visit Charlotte and then Memphis on Oct. 12, according to Tariq Sbiet, who covers Canadian recruiting.

Yes, I exaggerated, with the "ever" crack. He did get to the line a lot. But you know what he did a lot more? Put up jump shots. Lots of jump shots. His FTR would have been sixth on our team last year.
If a wing's primary skill is getting to the rim, I don't much care about him with oscar as our coach.
Hopefully. :ksu:
If you would have told me a few months ago that our 2013 class would have Foster, Westicles, and Atewe, I would have been pleasantly surprised. Mostly because of Atewe, but still, that's a pretty good class for only getting here at the end of last season. I think we will be happy with our assistant's abilities to recruit.

Well, yeah, all classes can be better or worse than you think they are after they played out their time. I'm talking about how you would rate them after they are recruited, not after they have finished their careers.
Curtis Kelly was part of 08. As for '10, even if you say Spradling/Asprilla = Orris/Johnson, which is debatable, you then add two rivals 150s to the 10 class.
I'm not a burn-it-downer, I hope Orris/Johnson turn out to be way better than expectations, but, for me, it was the most disappointing class since Asbury's last year.
If you would have told me a few months ago that our 2013 class would have Foster, Westicles, and Atewe, I would have been pleasantly surprised.
why?
most coaches have one of their best classes in their first year (not the spring, the season following). just an fyi.

Who the hell said that?
I've said multiple times this isn't going to be a top 25 class because there's no shot at that. What this class does have a shot is having some solid players(maybe even some damn good ones) on some competitive teams. What's really going to determine if we can compete in the upper tier of the B12 is if we're able to land a few of our higher ranked targets in future classes.
This class, IMO, is shaping up to be adequate but adequate doesn't necessarily let you compete deep into the postseason. Just like everybody else here, I want to compete deep into the postseason. Looking forward to the development of our current roster, this class, and future classes to see if we have a shot to do that.
Frank recruited like crap but got the guys to play. I'm curious how Weber is going to respond to trying to coach less talent than most the competition for the first time in his life in a couple years. PROBABLY NOT WELL.
So we're all supposed to start blowing each other over 3 player class of all non top 150 3* recruits?
only if you're pissclams. most everyone else will actually look at the situation and discuss it rationally for what it is. dick suck central for that poster though. slurp, slurp.

Now, maybe oscar's propensity is to not run players off (I don't know what his track record was) and therefore recruiting these fringe top 150 players (or 150-200 players) can pay off in a SLTH way by giving them until their Jr year to begin to have more playing time/responsibility heaped on them. This class is average until those little top 150 numbers are listed before their names.Frank running off players was one of is best attributes, allowed us to go through more recruits to find talent. Might not be morally right, what happened to Dom was flat out wrong.

as hard as i know it is for you to see, nobody is crying about oscar weber. so you can take the butthurt mantra and shove it up your ass. people are discussing his recruiting and his retention of those recruits vs franks. this is a recruiting thread so the discussion seems kind of on topic.
oscar would tell you that a major reason his teams did not succeed at the end was that he was trying to make everyone happy. players, handlers, etc. those quotes are out there. he would say that he did this to a fault and it's one of the things that i sincerely hope he changes about himself. he seems self aware with it so i think he maybe can.
frank didn't gaf. dom wanted to bring the ball up the court more and handle it more and whined about it constantly. frank told him to gtfo. one coach turned over a lot of players because he would not give in to any demands and the other did not turn over players because he would.

What demands did Nick Russell, Ron Anderson, Fred Brown, Freddy Asprilla, etc make? Elite coaches find ways to balance egos while maintaining control. I wish we could have one of those.
Now, maybe oscar's propensity is to not run players off (I don't know what his track record was) and therefore recruiting these fringe top 150 players (or 150-200 players) can pay off in a SLTH way by giving them until their Jr year to begin to have more playing time/responsibility heaped on them. This class is average until those little top 150 numbers are listed before their names.Frank running off players was one of is best attributes, allowed us to go through more recruits to find talent. Might not be morally right, what happened to Dom was flat out wrong.

it would have only been a good attribute if he replaced those frank'd players with better players. that was one of my biggest complaints about frank: if you're going to fill your class(es) with top 100-200 players, then they HAVE to stick around to reap the benefit. It becomes, in the long term, unsustainable.
my complaints about the '13 class have nothing to do with the person who recruited them. although I'm sure some posters will try to frame it that way. And when I say some, I mean clams.

no clue why those other guys left. agree that it would be great to have balance.
frank seemed to be at one end of the spectrum while oscar appears to be on the complete opposite end. if everyone in this class and last years class stick around (and i have no reason to believe that they won't) it will be interesting to see how good the team is in four and five years. because for all the bad recruiting and running off of players and other things that we like to bitch about, frank had a really good team set up for this year. will be interesting to see if oscar can do the same with a "keep the players you have" style.
Bart Raygun piece quotes Atewe as saying he is going to commit on November 28 which is his mothers birthday. She passed away a couple years ago. Don't know if that had been noted before. Seems like a long wait.

Brandon Parrish to TCU. UW, are we supposed to care about this one?
not uw, but don't think so. I think we are hunting for a big primarily.
josh gray would appear to be open again, no? would we be able to go after him if we wanted him? not sure. probably not, huh? weird that that we didn't get him initially? dunno. thoughts?
doesn't seem to have elite athleticism and never shows him shooting. kinda concerning.I was really impressed with his ballhandling and court vision though...especially for being 6'6

Jeez guy, of course I do, but that doesn't mean you have to get all grumpy about it. I was indifferent on the subject of Kansas State University prior to the hire, but I can honestly say I only want good things for it now, including men's hoops. I'm not rooting for oscar to fail. However, win or lose, the guy is a mockery magnet. Was and always will be a doofus. You have to be able to enjoy it or you're going to be really pissy for the next several years at least. Even when he wins, he's still oscar. For eff's sake, watch his pregame speech from the NC game; "the fist." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-yUrVJniqk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-yUrVJniqk).
Proudest moment in IL hoops history and yet also super pud. Roll with it.

No. crap.
Do you really think he'd take the time to rub it in the face of ND and the community like that by making the announcement at a TV station that used to be part of that university?
If it was IL, he would have already made the call without all the community histrionics.

2013 Long Beach Poly (CA) PF Jordan Bell tells me that Kansas State has offered him a scholarship.
http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/recruiting/player-Jordan-Bell-128638 (http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/recruiting/player-Jordan-Bell-128638)
Bell sounds like an undersized PF who brings high-level athleticism, energy, and defensive ability. At various points throughout his recruitment, he's reported some fairly impressive offers - Texas, Alabama, Oregon, Washington, San Diego St., Memphis, Notre Dame. Tough to say who's at the top of his list right now but he did visit Oregon with a couple of his HS teammates last month.

Neither Duke nor UNC offered Thornwell or Stroman. Both grew up within an hour of Columbia. USC held off NC St. for Thornwell. Considering what NC St. has been able to do on the recruiting trail recently, that's pretty solid.

I like how they said for the next 4 years
The beat goes on for Kentucky and Coach Cal, Harrison twins just committed there.
Don't care if it's not directly relevant to KSU, if you're a hoops fan, you should know this.

my mormon in-laws were pretty pumped about the jabari parker SI cover.
FWIW, that same update I posted above giving Parrish's offer list also stated Greg Wesley(6'7" PF from Arlington - NOT the ex-Chiefs safety) has a KSU offer.
I'm pretty skeptical of that 1 because I can't find any other mentions connecting Wesley and KSU and the update also says Wesley has offers from Texas, Texas A&M, and OK St. I imagine interest has been shown to Wesley from those schools but that's a fairly salty offer list for a kid that hasn't created huge buzz on the circuit.

ok, just no more parading around saying everyone but you thinks he's going to be good so you can bump it in two years and say "SEE!"

me always being right is just an interesting bit of trivia (and as another bit of trivia, i'm pretty sure i think he'll do better than most people have predicted. his early recruiting is disappointing, but he won't miss the tourney until ar-t leaves). your other point, however; is worth addressing because it is so wrong-minded and insidious.
you are what you post. when you post nothing but optimism-tinged recruiting updates, you infuse the board with optimism, you induce support. when you disparage former players and coaches, you hold up the present as better than the past. when you discuss the coaching staff's and administration's mannerisms as adorable or charming, you imply your support. you cannot have it both ways. you can make stupid faces to your chortling friends as you march the jews off to their deaths, but you are still a murderer, still a nazi, still pure, naked evil.

Stats from his FR yr at Kankakee linked below, team went 26-6. Ward was 1 of 3 FR to be named 1st team All-American in NJCAA(10 players total made the team). He's originally from Lockport, IL which is just outside of Chicago.

Since Bell has recently referred to UConn as his "dream school" and Ollie is an LA dude, UConn probably has to be considered the favorite at this point. Still would be cool to bring Bell in for a visit and give it a shot.

And the fact he wants to be a lawyer and UCONN has a law school as well.Bell says he's down to 4: KSU, UConn, Auburn, and Oregon. As far as I know, each of those schools has offered except UConn. He's planning on signing during the early period.They tweeted about 18 hours ago and said that all 4 of those teams have offered him.

Of that group, he likes Clemson, S. Carolina, S. Florida, and Miami.
From Bossi, Atewe visiting Auburn this weekend.
Previous reports had Atewe planning to visit Memphis this weekend but it sounds like he'll be doing the War Eagle thing instead. I really couldn't say if his visit to Memphis will be rescheduled or not.

cassidyQuoteWabash Valley CC forward Chris Griffin is setting up a visit to Kansas State. He will also visit Gonzaga. Brett should have something more on this later.
Griffin has offers from K-State, Gonzaga, UTEP, Auburn and others. I just need to update his profile.
Griffin is from Tallahassee, FL, was HS class of '10, signed w/Murray St., played there in 10-11, saw a little PT, but not much, as far as I can tell, sat out 11-12, now going to Wabash Valley JC(Chicago area), still considered class of '13, will have 2 years of eligibility remaining after this upcoming year at Wabash.
http://www.zagaholic.com/2012/08/recruit-profile-chris-griffin.html
Some stuff on Griffin(the younger)
@WillGunter247
Per AAU coach Kenny Gillion, Wabash CC wing Chris Griffin will visit Gonzaga Sept. 15. Kansas St., Auburn, UTEP have all offered.
Versatile player, can play the 2, 3 or 4. Better suited as a wing, nice midrange game, good defender.
hold the 'ship for 14
So much for that, Bell cuts it to 3 - UConn, Auburn, and Oregon.We got bumped for auburn? This is not a qb.
Greg Sequele, 6'8"225 PF-C, currently a SO at Citrus JC in Socal, reportedly visiting KSU sometime this week. This was tweeted by Brad Winton at Jucorecruiting.com and by the twitter feed from Sequele's former AAU team, the Compton Magic. He'll also be visiting Depaul sometime this week.
Sequele is a native of the Carribbean island Guadeloupe, played HS ball in LAC, signed with Washington St. as part of Class of '11, was ruled ineligible at WSU, played his FR year at Coll of So Idaho JC, is now at Citrus JC. Along with KSU and Depaul, he's also gotten recent interest from USC and St. Mary's.

Guys, I'm starting to get worried. It's been nearly two weeks and we have not heard from UW. I understand that recruiting may have been slow, but days like today are UW's cup of chicken nuggets. They are usually filled with tons of tidbits about a bunch of mentions we missed on. If we don't hear from him soon, I think I may get the authorities involved.
Maybe he is just preparing a monster post and all will be right with the world. Either way, I hope he is okay. I don't really feel like goEMAW having to find a new lead recruiter this late in the game. (fingers crossed)

@TheRecruitScoop: 2013 Hargrave Military (VA) PF Neville Fincher is taking an official visit to Kansas State this weekend.
http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/recruiting/player-Neville-Fincher-129859
Neville Fincher @Neville_Fincher
I'm going to attend college and hoop for Kansas State next year #EMAW #Big12
QuoteNeville Fincher @Neville_Fincher

Suck it Towson!
Suck it Towson!
yeah, screw Nova.
Neville Fincher did a strong job of utilizing his year at military school to the point that he raised his stock from a mid-major level talent into a high-major recruit. Now, the New Jersey native will play his college basketball in the Big-12.
A day after leaving Kansas State following a successful official visit, the 2013 6-foot-9 power forward out of Hargrave Military Academy (VA) secured his fate by committing to the Wildcats.
"The team is cool," he told Rivals.com following the visit. "The coaches like me me. The fans here know me. I like their style of play. It's in a city where there's no pro sports team out here so the Kansas State basketball team is important to everyone in this area."
A long and lean interior player with excellent athleticism and an ability to create havoc in the post, Fincher chose oscar Weber'steam over a number of high and mid-major schools. Kansas State, however, caught his eye, especially with their recent success under Weber.
He joins Jevon Thomas, Westicles and Marcus Foster in Kansas State's class of 2013.
I've only seen three things about this character, and each time he's gotten an inch shorter.
Extremely raw but extremely athletic. oscar is rolling the dice!!
Suck it Towson!
yeah, screw Nova.
And Seton Hall.
His offer list is actually somewhat impressive (if truthfully accurate).
Fincher said he was also recruited by Marshall, Seton Hall, Duquesne, Western Kentucky and Houston. He chose the Wildcats over that group, because of the school’s academic reputation and his strong relationship with assistants Chester Frazier and Chris Lowery.
the school's academic reputation
From Phenom Hoop Report: 6'10 Neville Fincher of Hargrave is a strong and
physical center that is a willing rebounder. While somewhat raw
offensively, he should be a target for lower tier to mid major D1
schools.
Flincher got a lot more bounce than DJamer and is considered one of the best bigs remaining in the 2013 class. BTW I will take an athlete over skilled awkward loser.

First-year Kansas State head coach oscar Weber has quietly put together an excellent 2013 recruiting class.
With four-star scoring guard Marcus Foster (Wichita Falls, Texas/Hirschi), long, athletic and skilled shooting guard Westicles (Houston/Westfield), and strong and physical attacking point guard Jevon Thomas (Queens, N.Y./St. John's Northwest Military Academy) already in the fold, on Monday Weber added three-star center Neville Fincher (Teaneck, N.J./Hargrave Military Academy) to give the Wildcats a class that has size, length, strength, athletic ability and tremendous upside.

This Kansas State class not only has some talent but has a level of toughness and competitiveness that will help the Wildcats become a team that can potentially cause problems in the Big 12 once they work together and develop a winning chemistry.

The guy quoted must have a magic 8ball to forsee that crap
The HOOP SCOOP has confirmed that Kansas State has landed 6'8 Jeremiah Massey from Oxnard (JC) CA, who is ranked as the #2 power forward in the junior college ranks by Lindy's Basketball Pre-Season Yearbook and as the #8 power forward in the junior college ranks by the Sporting News Pre-Season Yearbook. This is big, because Massey is exactly what the Wildcats will need to replace 6'9 Jr Previs Pasco inside a year from now. Actually Massey, who both scores and rebounds well around the basket, is better offensively right now than Pasco and, as a result, it continues to look like it's only a matter of time before Kansas State head coach Jim Wooldridge elevates the Wildcats into one of the powerhouse teams in the tough Big-12 Conference. If you will recall, two years ago Kansas State had the 19th best recruiting class by the HOOP SCOOP and a year ago they followed that up with the 10th best recruiting class, which explains why Kansas State has the 13th highest talent rating in the nation based on our Exclusive HOOP SCOOP Talent Ratings for all Teams in the Top 10 Division I Conferences. It also explains why we think this may be one of the biggest sleepers in the college basketball this season. And this year Kansas State appears to be on the verge of its third straight top 20 recruiting class, as they currently have the #11-ranked recruiting class in the nation on our list of the Top Recruiting Classes To-Date for the Class of 2003. If you will recall, we've already reported that they had verbal commitments from 5'7 Dez Willingham from De Soto (H.S.) TX, 6'8 Cartier Martin from Aldine (Nimitz) TX, and 6'4 Lance Harris from Columbia (Hickman) MO, but we also have learned that the Wildcats have landed 6'10 Tyler Hughes from Olathe (North Olathe) KS. Which means Kansas State should continue to improve a year from now, despite the fact three starters - Pasco, 6'8 Sr Matt Siebrandt, and 6'5 Gilson DeJesus - will graduate after this season. In addition to Massey, who will step into Pasco's spot, 6'7 Frosh Marques Hayden should be ready to take over for Siebrandt; Martin, Harris, and 6'3 Jr Tim Ellis all will get playing time at both the two and the three spots; and the backcourt should be terrific with 6'2 Jr Frank Richards, who is ranked as the #3 incoming junior college point guard by Sporting News Pre-Season Yearbook, and 6'4 Jarrett Hart, who is ranked as the #4 incoming junior college shooting guard by Sporting News Pre-Season Yearbook, and Willingham, who is ranked #37 nationally in the senior class by the HOOP SCOOP. In other words, it should be only a matter of time before everybody else starts jumping on this bandwagon.
it's only a matter of time
Quoteit's only a matter of time
this class is just as marginal as any of the Wooldridge classes ever were on paper. In fact, you could make an argument that Wooldridge out-recruited Weber to this point when you look at players like Cartier Martin, Massey, Pasco, Hoskins and realize that we aren't bringing anyone onto the roster that comes anywhere near to being that highly regarded.

it's maybe not a completely fair comparison, since wooly had many more years than weber, but it's not even arguable. martin, massey and pasco (plus some of the relatively highly rated misses he had) blow weber's two classes out of the water.

I would rank the orris/Johnson class as the worst class since before wooly. This class is middle of the road over that same span. Wooly had some good classes. Hoop scoop was obviously off their collective rockers, but those two classes mentioned above were pretty good by anyone's standard.

2006 does not belong there imo because I nearly exploded in the Derb Dining Hall when I read in the collegian that we signed a 5 star. I mean everybody was awful in that class but at the time it was like nirvana.

Did rivals used to just hand out 4 stars to everyone that could dribble and/or touch the rim?

Those three players combined to start for 5 years at K-State, compared to Awaji and Herrera who combined to appear in only 29 games at K-State. 2010 is way way better than any of those other ones.
That was also around the time prep schools started really diverting all the top talent from JCs. In the 80s and most of the 90s getting a top 20 JC usually meant they were really good and there were usually at least some NBA types every year.you guys notice how every even numbered recruiting class sucks balls and taints?

jucos (both fball and bball) were pretty inflated back then. not as many four and five stars are given out now.

Etou told the Washington Post he came to D.C. for his senior season because players "play harder and have more skills here." But it ain't like they're slouches at the Florida school Etou left behind. Arlington Country Day, where Etou played for two seasons, is ranked 19th in the nation by the Blue Star Poll, and according to the school has 13 male alums currently playing NCAA Division 1 ball, including last week's ESPN national player of the week, Rodney McGruder from Kansas State. Coach and athletic director Rex Morgan says eight of the kids on this year's team will play D1 when they leave.:sdeek:
Did UW leave or something? Sorry for not keeping tabs on this.
That makes me sad. He was great for recruiting updates.
Would take in place of Orris. Maybe that's why Orris wasn't red shirted... oscar knows he probably won't be here more than a year anyways.
You know this is the thread for KState recruiting, right?
PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The 15th annual National Prep School Invitational (NPSI) this past weekend featured four days and 32 games of action. After the balls had finally stopped bouncing on Sunday, we had seen a number of top performances as well as the emergence of some new prospects.
Here were some of the best players from the event.
Most Valuable Player
Jevon Thomas (Queens, N.Y./St. John’s NW Military Academy)
2013, PG, 6-0, 170
Status: Committed to Kansas State
Thomas was selected MVP by the event staff. His talent has never been in question, but the maturity level to run a team has been far less dependable at times. This weekend, he put it all together, utilizing his individual tools to make plays while also making good decisions down the stretch of close games. With a lightning-quick first step and a strengthened frame to better absorb contact on his way to the rim, he’s virtually impossible to check with just one defender. And while he’s a scoring point by nature, his willingness to hit open teammates was critical to St. John’s big wins over both St. Thomas More (Conn.) and Notre Dame Prep (Mass.).

And here's another of Marcus, the windmill dunk at the end is just ridiculous. Guys we are going to have the best back court in the league with Thomas and Foster.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwgcN6iLeLU
He may be a good player, but he's playing against some incredibly pud competition. Looks like a gaggle of poorman's Spradlings in most of those highlights. Buncha scrawny derps tripping over their own feet. :flush: "Oh man, sick jam over that autistic kid!" Where the hell is bushblister?
Marcus Foster is elite :bball:
May be crap competition, but you can't deny the dude's athleticism.

I love him so hard already. Him and Angel in the backcourt for the 2015 season is going to be Denis/Jake take 2 (not because they have the same skillset, just because the will be amazingly fun to watch).

i'm not saying he is or is not capable of being an above average big 12 guard. i couldn't tell from those highlights. couldn't really even see enough to guess. scouting hs guards is hard.
i could tell he's a below average athlete for a big 12 guard. looks strong, decent feet, slow, plays big. bfd, none of that tells me anything. skills are way more important than athleticism for guards.
brown of osu is the best athlete in big 12, although mclemore is also very athletic. smart is a very pedestrian run jump athlete, but if you factor in stuff like strength, body control, balance, etc he might be above average. i dunno, you have to watch a guy quite a bit before you can get a good feel for things like that.

I assume you mean Foster? Smart is definitely a very atheletic person.
I got to watch smart up close at the ksu/osu game. would not use the word pedestrian to describe his athleticism.

well, i would (just did).
i normally do, but i made the distinction of calling him a pedestrian run jump athlete, because i think that most of the retards who post here only consider those attributes (and about 80% jump) when they say someone is athletic or not.
you also once said mcgruder wasn't athletic so...

Marcus Foster scored 35 points and got 14 rebounds. He's 6'2"!!
Interesting to see how good the Barreno kid will be since we were recruiting him at one point in time. He had 18 and 15 against Hiirshi.

During my snow day, I looked up the 4 recruits coming in next year. Some of these videos may be posted in this thread, but I wanted to consolidate it to one post.Jevon has filled out a lot since those videos.
Jevon Thomas: PG
I have no idea how this guy went under the radar. He committed to St. John's, then Dayton, then to us thanks to the dreamy Chet Frasier. He has one of the widest skill sets I've seen in a PG. Amazing vision, great ability to get separation and create his own shot, can hit the 3, and can drive and draw contact. Oh, and at 5'11" he can dunk it. This is easily the player I am most excited for in this next class.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRssxmQXhQE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdjYZLsJ1Sk
Marcus Foster: SG
He's listed anywhere from 6'2" to 6'4". Haven't seen too many clips out his outside range, most of his highlights are drives to the basket. There was some concern about his ability to go left. In the first video I've posted, he makes a nice move to lay it in with his left hand at the 40 second mark, but besides that he takes way more complicated shots by favoring his right hand even when coming in from the right. He'll definitely have to work on that before he can be a major contributor. It looks like he can dunk with ease (see end of 2nd video). Most likely he'll get a handful of minutes at the 2 next year. Obviously not as many as Tay has gotten this year because nothing makes me think he can fill in at PG even at a limited role. He has great court awareness, but it shows up more on the defensive side of the ball that the offensive, which I'm totally fine with.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUeB_t3I6l0
Westicles: SF
At 6'7" and a whopping 190 pounds, I imagine he'll have to put on at least 20 pounds before he's a real contributor. For a lazy comparison, this looks like you took Shane's body/athleticism and gave him Rodney's freshman/sophomore year skillset. Lots of offensive rebounding, and getting to the right place at the right time. Likes to get inside. He has long ways to go on the defensive side of the ball, but luckily that's the most teachable thing when making the jump from HS to college. If we keep the offense that we ran this year, I imagine he'll be asked to do what Shane's been doing. Unless he develops an outside range, I don't see him as anything more than a role player, especially considering Thomas and Foster will likely overshadow him during their 4 years here. Also, he wears #30! Just like Beasley!

Neville Fincher: PF/C
Listed at 6'9". Pretty limited highlights on this guy. He makes some really athletic dunks and they are fun to watch. So it's hard to not like that. Saw a couple clips where he dribbles past his guy to the basket, and I'm not sure we've had a big be able to do that in a long time. Seems to have good body control, much like Jamar Samuels (he also wears #32!). I also doubt this guy's defense, and rightly or wrongly, I think it's harder to correct a center's defense than a guards.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJY7JtC0arI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKMfNF34npo (lots of clips of guys blowing by him at the beginning, offensive highlights start at 2:37)
So, sys & MIR, feel free to PI me or critique me nicely, whichever suits you best today. I'm sure you'll object to parts of these reviews.
Jevon has filled out a lot since those videos.Are you talking "ain't no seats" kind of filled out, or more muscular kind of filled out?

Nice job J-60. Only thing I would add is that I think we might see (probably see?) Foster at the 3 as well. He's a physical guard who plays bigger than his size. oscar has shown he's not afraid to go small, and I think Foster is a good rebounding guard. So I agree he'll won't see any minutes at the 1, but he see him getting minutes in line with Angel, Sprads and Southwell.
Is Foster a poor mans Marcus Smart?
no way Foster could run point like Smart either. I don't see it anyway.

he's a combo guard who plays like a power foward with handles.

Possible luke, but did anyone see Thomas isn't eligible until after fall 2013 semester? Really like him after watching this vid. Definitely think he could help out next yr.

That's the rough ridin' reason WE landed him. We should be jumping for joy.
It is a weird deal. He's on campus now, is a full time student now, but can't practice or play until the end of the 13 fall semester. But he'll be around and be ready to play next year by the time Big 12 play starts. I suppose there are some similarities to his path as there were to Walker's when he came here.

it is v weird. Do we waste a season of eligibility on him? How much will he really be able to contribute if he can't even practice until after the fall? Also what is the word on Fincher? why hasn't he signed?

they figured out he wasn't going to qualify with the extra semester of prep school and since they had an extra ship after franking the jet, they enrolled him now as a partial qualifier, starting his partial qualifier sitting out year a semester early.
you can infer that they either think he's better than anyone they think they'll get in '14, or that they think they absolutely have to have a(nother) backup pg for the 2nd semester of '13-14.

It could be both.
Is Foster a poor mans Marcus Smart?
In the sense that he's a combo guard who plays like a power foward with handles, yes. But Smart is probably the best defender in the league, and I can't find many defensive clips of Foster so it's hard to make that comparison.
According to Rivals, the big guy we have committed (forget his name) has not sign his LOI.history would dictate that the reason the LOI is not signed is because oscar has instructed the player not to sign it. the hope being that this player will follow oscar to his next/destination job.
Anyone know why?

Doesn't matter the position when Brucing. We have guards coming in. A decent looking PG coming in. I was just hoping it was Orris.See ya, Orris. GTFO!
Bet it's Diaz.
Yeah, gotta be Diaz. At least I hope it's Diaz and not DJamer. Also, why would picking up a PF lead to a PGs Brucing?

Everyone saw his offer list, right? If we're trying to run someone off, that's great, but let's save the scholarship for '14.

Wouldn't care if Diaz left. He hasn't impressed at all.

I think his offer list is probably a product of his eccentric personality and taste. I mean, he's a juco guy that films his solo flip-flop shoot arounds and likes beef with potato sauce and the movie step up.

Should I be happy if we bring in new guy if it means Brucing Diaz? Also please answer same question if we oscar Orris.

only if he's better than diaz. same goes for orris, except he's only eaten one scholarship year. oth, you can only play five at a time.

I have no idea. I just love dunks and 3s. Just hope sys keeps posting and read his thoughts.
In your opinion will he be better than Diaz/Orris?
Tia.
Might be crazy but I'm #teamDiaz. I want to believe he can go through a Shane-like transformation. It's not like we're gonna pick up another top 150 big in spring/summer.
I really don't think Diaz is all that bad, and he could easily end up being a solid starter for us.
Been at the Juco tourney the last couple days. Not sure if anyone is getting Franked/Bruced this summer, but I would give up 2 guys if it meant we got Darius Carter (Vincennes) and Devin Brooks (Iowa Western). They are easily the best 2 unsigned juco guys I saw at the tournament.
Carter is a 6-7 big with a very versatile game and has the ability to be a strech 4. Had 31 tonight against 6-8 and 6-10 guys from NW Florida CC. Hit a couple pick and pop 3's and has a great back to basket post game and knack for offensive rebounding. Would be our best post right now.

Devin Brooks was the best guard in the tourney. Definitely outplayed and contained 1st team AA Chris Jones (L'ville signee) yesterday. Even better, is Brook's quick release and ability to get his own shot at anytime. Big time clutch shooter. Would be a true 2 and has 1 guard ability. Better than anyone on our roster at the guard position as well including ARod.

Rivals subscribers, who did he cut?
NYCHoops.net spoke with Severe before he left for Albany to participate in the State Championship and he said he would cut his list down on Saturday night. True to his word, Severe texted us his list of ten schools saying, "Not in order: West Virginia, Pitt, Rutgers, Fordham, Seton Hall, Duquesne, George Washington, Kansas State, Boston College, CREIGHTON."
Asked what the ten schools have in common, Severe responded, "Chance of playing a lot as a freshman."
Severe's final ten excludes schools such as Cincinnati, Rhode Island, Xavier, Towson, South Carolina, Alabama, St. Bonaventure, Dayton, Houston and Purdue and actually adds Creighton to the list of offers which was originally at 19 schools.
Will could be bumped back to the Energy's role where he should have been anyway.

Rivals evaluation of Severe from the State Tournament:
Jon Severe, 6'2" Senior, SG (Christ the King)-
What Severe was able to do this weekend was nothing short of phenomenal. He broke the "AA" single game and two game scoring record with 40 in one game and a combined 68 in the two en route to leading the Royals to the Federation title. He was aggressive when he needed to be showing that extra burst getting to the rim, but it was his ability to hit shots off the dribble that was most impressive. He scores so fluidly and gets good lift on his shot that his 6'2" size wasn't an issue against bigger defenders. Was a playmaker as well finding the open man off the drive. Clearly was the best player this weekend in Albany and continued to prove why he is being so highly recruited.
pretty much the Anti-Sprads
ALBANY - It was late in the fourth quarter of Christ the King’s 68-55 win over Bishop Kearney in the Class AA state Federation semifinals at the Times Union Center. The Royals’ star, unsigned senior Jon Severe, had just threw down a slam dunk to hit the 40-point mark to give his team an 18-point lead.
Just a couple of minutes remained in the game, and with the result no longer in doubt, Severe was subbed out of the game. As he walked to the bench, a press release was handed out to media row announcing that Severe had been named Mr. New York Basketball for 2013. Remarkably, with all the talent Christ the King has had over the years, Severe is its first ever boys player to earn the honor, which was first handed out in 1986.
For Severe and his coach, Joe Arbitello, it was mission accomplished in their quest to prove Severe was the top player in the state, just a day after the pair found out that Long Island Lutheran’s Kentan Facey was named Gatorade Player of the Year for New York.
Severe started the game with a strong dunk just seconds after the opening tip, a sign of how motivated Severe was. He scored his team’s first 12 points and ended the first quarter with 21. He finished the game 12-for-18 from the field, including 4-for-7 from beyond the arc. His 40 points were a Class AA Federation record for a single game.

He sounds way out of our league.
We're on his list with 9 other schools. Why wouldn't we get our hopes up?
I hope oscar recruits well and succeeds. :dunno:

COME HOME JON
oscar isn't going anywhere. His salary, our location, and us being a FB school guarantees it.Currie leaving is the only way the oscar era doesn't stretch 6 or 7 years minimum.
He is a midwesterny guy making about $2M in a place with no overwhelming mob waiting in the wings with pitchforks(gE aside).
To get more money, he definitely would be going to a place with much higher stress and expectations.
Manhattan is a perfect fit for oscar as long as Currie is throwing money out to show the country that we are quasi serious about BB and as long as FB is doing well.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I see that several people have inquired about Jon Severe being offered by K-State and whether or not Weber and Co. are still searching for 2013 recruits. I have obtained Severe's number and have been trying to get ahold of him. Hopefully I hear something back soon and I can get an update to you guys. And as you all know, there are no scholarships left to be had in this class and if they are trying to pursue another guy, someone has to go. We all can speculate as to who that would be, but nothing has been mentioned at this point. To my knowledge, this class is done, but I will stay on this and make sure nothing slips through the cracks.
Also, I have been in contact with the two of the 2013 signees and should have updates with them very soon. I know it's not much, but it's what I currently have right now.
Quote from: BRETTGPC--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To my knowledge, this class is done,
Also, the absolute best piece of recruit info they have posted, that I am aware of, was that time last yr where Wally admitted to trying to hound the wrong person that happened to share a first name with a possible KSU recruit.
:lol:
I mean, no info, but at least entertaining.
Makes me laugh a bunch even a yr later

So like we could actually get this guy? Or are we all just so boned by bad recruiting that we're excited about being in this kid's final 10?
Man, these guards. Seems like we are losing every freaking guard on the current roster.
We were the slowest possession rate in the conference, oscar wants to get up and down. I don't think he liked the type of athletes we have on the team. Guys like JUSTIN COLEMAN and LOURAWLS NAIRN give you an idea they way oscar wants to build the team.
I would think for the true #BIDer, recruiting has to be the toughest thing. Clearly, oscar needs to recruit well enough that his replacement inherits a decent amount of talent. But on the other hand, if he lands too many good players its likely that will extend his stay.
Where is the best place to look at this??? Stat sheet is painfully to use when comparing different years.

I think the best us Weber cynics can hope for at this point is Currie having a short leash if things head south. I personally hope he does well, but I know that he probably won't. Hopefully we make a better hire next time, regardless of Weber's success or lack thereof.

The problem with that overcoaching, other than the dullness watching it, is teams with controlling coaches can look tight in crunch time and become dependent.
Being a nice guy is all well and good but I would rather play for an bad person who trusts me to play. Its cool though, our tucks love the Bobby Knight make at least 7 passes before shooting style.

what do you mean by over-coaching? motion is highly structured, but it isn't patterned or based on set plays. If anything, it is the under-coaching of motion offense that would make us look tight in crunch time, as we would have neither a full shot clock to run through the motion offense nor a polished book of set plays to help us score quickly. if motion is controlling, wouldn't almost any half-court offense(except maybe dribble drive motion) fall under the controlling category? i guess i'm not sure what point your point was...

so, we're overcoached now? i love this talking point.
We're saying that oscar didn't trust this roster after he put it on the players to come up with a gametying play with 7 seconds left in a NCAA tournament game?We are saying he didn't trust the team enough to score out of a timeout. So he didn't call one.

For me any offense when a coach is standing on the sideline telling a player where he has to stand 6 months into the season is not ideal, that isn't at all controversial. I have been a staunch proponent of dribble drive. If I were building my ideal team, I would have a team that ran nothing but breaks, secondary breaks, and dribble drive motion when they had to. I don't think, no, I know that oscar Weber isn't they type of coach that would recruit the type of players or be willing to run this system. Again not controversial.
The problem with him not calling the time out against LaSalle is that it was unprecedented. That team was designed to be basketball robots, they didn't freelance ever. That was the wrong time to take the leash off.
Oooo name the 5 who lead the mindless mass!
how bad would the offense have been without angel to bail us out of late shot clock situations?

Traditionally, up tempo offenses are thought to struggle in late game situations because they can't slow down and get a good shot. You guys are hilarious with the crap you make up.
I agree that Angel isn't the kind of guy who bails you out. The end of the La Salle game is exactly what you should expect from him.

all offenses have late shot clock situations, regardless of how you define a quality offense. angel being here to bail us out does not make our offense better. the number of the late shot clock situations has nothing to do with angel being here to bail us out of them.

Did he really do this all that much? I know these types of things are quite difficult to quantify. I remember after Beasley and Pullen left thinking this about them.

i think the fallacy is that it's what you would expect from him every year.

He doesn't create his own shots. He can drive if the defense breaks down, but you can't rely on that happening.

Creating a dependable shot in a late game situation is a different sort of thing. His little drive and lob, for example, isn't always going to be there. The kind of shots you can reproduce at any given moment are things like shooting a deep three over someone or driving to create space then stepping back to shoot a jump shot. That stuff just doesn't seem to be part of his game.
If you have a better player to bail you out in late shot clock situations, you score more points, your offense is better.
If you have a better player to bail you out in late shot clock situations, you score more points, your offense is better.
again, late clock situations are a result of an offense, not a part of one. every team in the nation handles them the same way.
his drive/layup/dish can be just as dependable as most step back jumpers, especially at this level.

I honestly have no idea what you're trying to say. I am talking purely about how many points we would have scored per possession. How the offense "looked" was probably a bad term to use.
i'm saying that the quality of our offense (good or bad) was not impacted by having angel on our team to bail us out of late clock situations. it was your strawman, not mine.

If by "quality of offense" you mean "points per possession", then the "quality of offense" was absolutely impacted by having Angel on the team. If you want "quality of offense" to mean something else, you could be right.
Who's idea was it to put this in the recruiting thread? One of The Five I'd presume.
:billdance: :billdance: :billdance: :billdance: :billdance:
Pretty sure the retards slobbering over ARTs "late shot clock" skills are the same retards that attributed his low shooting percentage in games to having to take more "late shot clock" shots.
I can't believe two pages of muck was generated in a recruiting thread becuase somebody essentially said "good players make you better offensively"
rough ridin' genius.
The weird thing about the La Salle game is that the offense didn't come through down the stretch, mainly because we didn't make plays. And there were numerous opportunities; just look at the last 7 minutes after we took our first lead on Rod's lay-up.
JO fouled, makes 1 of 2.
Shane missed a jumper, Angel oboarded, was fouled, missed the front end.
Rod missed 3, Shane oboarded, JO made put back.
Rod missed lay-up (contested, but still).
Tay missed lay-up, Gip missed tip-in.
Shane missed jumper, JO oboarded/fouled, went 1 of 2.
Rod missed 3.
JO missed jumper.
Angel missed prayer.
9 possessions. 0 turnovers. 3 trips to the FT line get 2 points. Missed lay-ups.
All year in a clutch situations we never had a stretch with so many missed plays and at the worst possible moment we really only made one. The last play is easy to point out because we all remember it well, but there were a ton of plays down the stretch this team simply didn't make.
Anyway... Who is getting bruced?

We're saying that oscar didn't trust this roster after he put it on the players to come up with a gametying play with 7 seconds left in a NCAA tournament game?

let's pretend that this board doesn't have about 5 posters that shape the minds of damn near everyone else here. ok, now lets stop pretending.
overcoached is good. you should be proud.
this team was designed by frank to run a "make crap up" offense, oscar just spent the last several months reprogramming them.
and i disagree that oscar took the leash off, his player had flashbacks to a bygone era of shitty offensive sets and ignored his coach.
undisciplined players do that.

i can't tell if you are you saying that oscar knows he can't recruit, so he has adopted this offense, or that he's so confident in this offense, that he chooses to recruit to it?
fwiw, snyder makes "players that fit" comments all the time. i'm not comparing oscar to snyder.

I always assume that Foster would be more of a shooting guard and Westicles would be more of a wing, but could it be that Foster will be more of a wing and Westicles more of an undersized stretch 4?
I'm not commenting on how good they'll be; I'm not trying to go there. I'm just trying to figure out where we're going to use them.
When Illinois had that one good year, the starting lineup was something like:
PG: 6'3"
SG: 6'0"
SG: 6'3"
PF: 6'7"
C: 6'10"
I'm wondering if next year we may see a starting lineup of:
PG: Angel
SG: Will
SG: Foster
F: Shane
C: Gipson
Orris comes in and spells Angel until Thomas gets there and Omari/Westicles fills in some gaps on the perimeter if Foster or Will need a break.

I'm inferring that he can now get players willing to do what he wants them to do, and if we're using generalities to me that defaults to less talented players. I'm not sure how else to decipher his comments about now taking players he wants to take.

You probably shouldn't be. I don't really remember how excited you were when Stewart and Allen committed. Was it more or less excited than Lance Harris? Jake Pullen? Angel? Give me a frame of reference here...

I was more excited for Stewart and Allen than all those guys. Harris was a middle-of-the-pack member of GRCOAT 1.0, Pullen was lost in GRCOAT 2.0, Angel was a spring signee that basically no one saw play.
Stewart was a top 150! Curtis Allen was a 4 star that was downgraded! (IIRC) Both were nice consolation prizes after missing out on Chamberlin Oguchi!

Navarro College (Corsicana, Texas) wing Princeton Onwas earned a reputation as being one of the most explosive wings in the JUCO ranks this season. The 6-foot-5 inch, 210 wing compiled a large highlight reel of dunks en route to earning All-Region honors in his final season at Navarro.
After a successful season, Onwas is now trying to take his game to the next level.
"Our season went well. It didn't end as we expected. It ended early because we lost in the regional championship game. But as a team, we reached our goals that we set," Onwas said.
Onwas was a "I was the team's leading scorer and the vocal leader. We brought it back to the championship game but had a tough loss. I can take it to the basket. I can shoot from the 15 foot area. I need to work on my shooting from three point range and be more efficient, but I still shot better than 30 percent. It's something I'm working on," he said.
On the recruiting front, Onwas has received interest from a number of programs and has begun taking official visits. Wherever he ends up, Onwas believes it will be one of three programs. "My top choices are K State, TCU and Utah," he said.
Onwas visited TCU last weekend and will take officials to Utah this weekend and Kansas State the following week. According to Onwas, Utah is a place that he could picture himself playing. "I'm interested in Utah. I like the coaching staff a lot. I'm taking this visit to compare schools and see where I'm more comfortable. When I have a better feel for what the schools are about then I can make my decision," he said.
According to Onwas, two factors will play into his college decision. "The biggest thing is whichever school I feel more comfortable with and whether I'm comfortable with the coaching staff, the team and the players. I only have two years left, so I want to make sure these two years are the best they can be," he said. "I also want to play for a winning program. I was on a winning team. If you're a winning program, then I'm the right fit for it."

Honestly, cat fandom aside, he should go. I mean he isn't an NBA'er and w bad knees already, his earning yrs could already be shorter than otherwise. Go make money.

We are not in Severes top 5. Too bad he was the one to replace Sprads. Now we have to try Tulanes Josh Davis.
Josh Davis reportedly narrowed his list to four: Hoiballers, Zags, Pitt and the Breads.

He's the top 5th year transfer out there. He would be huge for the Breads. I am pro-Hoiball, but he better not start taking recruits from the Breads. :shakesfist:
They could shift Niang to the 3 to make room, but that might be a tough switch on defense for him.

Another Shane, same class and everything. GET ME A F'ING BIG.
You have to take a big with one IMHO. With the other, I'm good with best available player that we can sign. Another guard would be preferable, but that will be a hard sell with Angel, Thomas, and Foster already here.

that's the easiest sell any winning-record, high-major has ever had.

that's the easiest sell any winning-record, high-major has ever had. "hey we've been good since you were 12 and we're on tv a lot. but think carefully, because we have a junior pg that will help you score like a madman before you take over the point in a couple of years. and you'll also have to compete with a handful of unranked freshman and a below average sr guard that everyone hates.
oh, we also play three guards all the time."
I would consider last year's system to be much more a double swing line-up than a 4 guard line up.
Honestly, my concern level would go in this order for ships: 1) post depth 2) swing depth, 3) guard depth. I'd rather find an immediate replacement for Rod than for Tay, but first priority should be another post, depending on what they think Fincher can do to help next year.

you're right, mcgruder was a skilled 3, not a guard. i guess my thought is that it's going to be easier to find a skilled guard than a skilled 3 at this point in the year, but i'd be happy with either. i think kstate needs another guy that is a better than average shooter, whether it's a guard or a three. if he can handle too, that's a plus. i'd put getting a big as a need that is secondary to that, but if there's a big available that can actually help you, great. sounds like a tall order for spring recruiting though. i wouldn't take someone just as a body. i'd rather have 5 guys on the court that can play rather than guys taken to fit some predetermined size or role characteristics.

I guess it's possible. Can you talk about a recruit by name after they've committed, or only after you've signed? And if it is Fincher I'm going to make fun of my buddy for telling me this "gossip" to no end.
According to Rivals, for 2013:
KU has four four stars
Baylor has three four stars
ISU has two four stars
Texas has two four stars
OSU has two four stars
West Virginia has two four stars
TCU has one four star

Committed to the Breads on his visit. Cancelled his Mizzou visit and Haith continues his downward spiral.
Right now i'm assuming that we're limited to adding a graduate transfer in the post for next year.
The list of serviceable bigs who can play immediately would be:
Tarik Black- Memphis
Moussa Gueye- Alabama
Sandi Marcius- Purdue
Tarik Black is by far the best option imo...

Do you like him more than Orris? If you do, then you should be happy.
I'd imagine the Johnson signing is largely about depth. With Irving graduating and Jevon Thomas arriving after the first semester, we NEED a backup point guard. I'd like to think we will be seeing plenty of :eye: during his four year tenure here.
I like this kid. He is a bit undersized (which is probably why he was a mid major recruit), but it sounds like he blew up a bit his senior year after moving and got high major interest from Seton Hall, Missouri, and us. I like that he's a combo and hopefully he can become the next Tay. Doesn't seem unreasonable to me.
The oscar yardstick: He's better than Orris. :facepalm:

He's like Marty, except flipflop the the offense and defense. He didn't look too interested in guarding people, but he did hit threes from NBA range and dunked on bitches. So, really he would be the anti-Marty.

I was just trying to compare them coming in as freshman. Obviously hard to do with limited film, but I haven't read anything that would indicate that Nigel is a good defender (haven't read anything that says he isn't either.) Marty was touted as a a tough, physical defender when we signed him.

Well the video I posted showed him getting a ton of steals. I don't think I've ever seen that many minutes worth of a high school recruit getting steals. But regardless, defense is significantly easier to teach than shooting ability.

I'm not sure you realize what's going on here.
Could be I'm behind the curve. Enlighten me.
His stroke is bizarre. Looks like a double clutch version of Angel's.
He's going to need to lose that scoop shot though. Those guards he played against in the videos were horrendous.

so what is the list of players we are targeting for the one* open spot? tia
*for now
Maybe I'm off here, but it seems like oscar doesn't care about recruiting guards who play defense. He likes a post guy that blocks shots to clean up the mess.
Am I wrong here? Seems like a pattern.

I don't want to defend oscar but I get much less work up about bringing in MM quality guards (especially pgs/combos) than I do bigs - even less so if they are athletic. Size in pgs and combos is can be overrated.Quoteposted by redacted:

absolutely correct on every point. bigs are like 100 times easier to scout.
They basically were telling me I could come in right away and play heavy minutes and have a great impact and make a big difference.
Weber's love for guards is evident in his 2013 class. With the addition of Johnson, that is the fourth guard or wing player he has landed for K-State this year.

I'll go ahead and post the who report from ESPN for you guys... There is no telling when this was written though. The site says it was updated today, but that's only because they posted a new article for him. They have him rated as a 3-star 70.
Strengths:
Lancona has a high-major frame with great length and extremely long
arms. The lanky left-hander is a fluid athlete who runs well in
transition. The most impressive aspect of his game is his shooting
ability. He has a prolific stroke out to 22-feet and his release is
ultra-smooth. He is a gifted passer off the dribble and generally
displays a good feel for the game.
Weaknesses:
Despite all his impressive physical attributes and blossoming skills,
Lancona is not engaged enough throughout the game as he should be. He
needs to be much more assertive at both ends especially in the paint
area. Far too much during the game, he hovers around the perimeter and
doesn't pound the glass - making one wonder how much physical contact is
he willing to avoid.
Bottom Line:
Lancona has many gifts and an elite frame, but he needs to be much more
productive at both ends of the floor if he wants to play at the highest
level.

As a junior in 2011-12, he averaged 14.2 points per game, an earned All-Southern Section honors. As a sophomore, was named to the South Coast League second-team.
"At 6-8 he can shoot the three, but he is also skilled in the paint. His ability to pass the ball shows what good of a feel he has for the game," says WSU head coach Ken Bone.
Lancona projects as a stretch 4 in college.

Stan Weber on 810 said they had a guy locked up that will be NBA talent but he can't say his name yet. I think sys said someone on gopowercat posted something similar.
2013 Tesoro (CA) power forward Tanner Lancona and Washington State are parting ways.
"WSU is heading in a different direction and decided to go with JUCO players that can make an immediate impact vs players that may need some time to acclimate," his father, Sean, told Rivals.com.
With the plan to remain in the class of 2013, Lancona will likely go to a smaller school on the food chain. He originally chose the Cougars over BYU, Pepperdine, Loyola Marymount, Penn, Utah, San Francisco, UC Davis and others. Still needing plenty of development to his game, he best fits at one of these schools where he will have a chance to come in, develop and make a contribution off the ba
i think it's prolly that wku guy, but we'll see.

Someone please explain how unrated lightly recruited wku guy "fits the profile" of NBA talent?

"Black, who graduates from Memphis this spring, plans to get his release from the Tigers this week and will be eligible to play immediately at his next school as a grad student. Per conditions of the release, he won't be permitted to transfer to a school that is on the Tigers' schedule next season.
Black said he hasn't reached out yet to any other schools, noting that it would be an NCAA violation if he did so before acquiring his release. He said at this point he doesn't have a list of schools he's considering."

Trey Zeigler may fit that profile, though it's only been proven at CM w/ a flop at Pitt last year.
i've been working this out in my head for a few days now and what makes sense would be for the staff to go out and get two next level type players. a big and a ball handler. both need to be able to fill up the basket and ideally would be all league type defense players. my guess is that they are considering this. it just makes sense, ya know?

Talk about it in Wabash Station
When the news came out last week that Ousmane Cisse was going to head to junior college, it led the Kansas State coaching staff back to the recruiting trail. This trail led to Detroit's Central High School and Ben Kelso's program where a 6-foot-6 forward, Deilvez Yearby, was making his name during the 2004-05 season.
"Deilvez just kind of bloomed onto the scene this year as a force for our team," Kelso said. "He started every game this year and was our main guy. He is a very good player and will fit into what Coach (Jim) Wooldridge is doing down at K-State. He is a similar style player of Rolando Blackman. They are about the same size and can shoot and defend and rebound.
"Deilvez is a good leaper and he runs the floor well. He can shoot out to the three and he can rebound the ball. And with his jumping ability he can block shots. His defense is what amazes people. He has some skills on that end of the court, too. He is going to be a good addition to their team."
The recruiting process stayed in the slow stages all year for Yearby until recently.
"He qualified academically and then it just took off," Kelso said. "In the end it came down to K-State and USC. Michigan and Michigan State were two of the many others that showed a lot of interest in him, but their interest didn't start until he qualified. K-State was there all along. His coach here at Central last year was friends with one of the K-State coaches and they found out about him. Then I took over and they've been in touch all the way with him. A lot of places will back off if the player may not qualify and quit sending anything, but K-State stayed there the whole way.
"Deilvez never felt like he wasn't going to make it academically and maybe that is why K-State stayed on him. He never spoke to a junior college or a prep school. I really don't think he had any doubt he was going to qualify. He is a good student, he just got off to a bad start with his grades in high school."
Kelso believes Yearby will help solidify the small forward position for the Wildcats.
"He is a three," the coach said. "He can play the one, two or three, but the three is his main position. He's not really a back to the basket type of player, but he can defend against a four player if he needed to. We know they have some quality players there for that position, but Deilvez is just going to make it better."
21.4 points on 58.7 percent shooting (91-of-155) from the field with a team-high 12.1 rebounds, 2.9 blocks, 1.8 steals and 1.3 assists. He ranked first on the team in scoring, rebounding and blocked shots, while he was second in steals and assists. Yearby was named third team all-state by the coaches and first team all-city, while he was honored as the city's Mr. Basketball. He was also named to the Detroit News' All-Metro first team and was the most valuable player of the Detroit Public School League Southeast Division.
Kelso believes recruiting analyst Bob Gibbons has Yearby pegged at about the right spot, in the top 60, for his Class of 2005 rankings.
"Mr. Gibbons sees a lot of basketball. He knows when a player is good and when a player is not. He didn't know about Deilvez earlier on in the year, but he made the effort to find out what type of player we had here. I think he's right on the with his rankings if Deilvez ends up in the top 60 rankings. That is where he belongs, because he is that good of a player."

LOL at all of that defense.
First off, thanks for pointing all this out, but I'm not the basketball guy, so I go off what I hear sometimes in that department.
What I heard was Nigel tell our Brett Regan about how he wanted a step up to bigger and better competition.
More often than not, that means a bigger school. Clearly that's not the case here, but you can't fault me for assuming a little in this situation. We can't all be experts in school/class size for all 50 states.
Thank you though.

We can't fault a journalist for making an assumption, i.e. not confirming facts? If you're making this assumption and stating it as fact, how are we to know you're not doing this in other articles/podcasts. These "you can't fault me" excuses negatively impact your credibility.Good for you, aj.

No one has tried this since the NCAA stopped letting schools hire people attached to recruits as DOBOs. This is very different from your two examples and a very big deal.

kstate had an open scholarship last year (you prolly didn't notice because dax lost interest in updating open scholly's stats); so the whole orris v gray thing is a red herring.
is that worse than leaving cause you can't play basketball?

Recruiting for 13 is going to be done very soon we have one spot left and will keep 1 open for mystery recruit. Edwards or wazzu reject will take the last spot within the next week.

take Edwards over Wazzu reject...and I really wanna know who this damn mystery recruit is.
I would bet we will never know, but we needed to be focusing on 2014. 2013 is done as is and is good enough to survive as a tourney team. Need 2 get a couple players in 2014 that have a fighting chance at being big 12 poy.

yeah man. right with you bro. 2013 is done and we're def tourney. now we just need to go grab a couple of future big12 poy types for the 14. you should email that to coach. great synapsis.
You have to be trying hard to be this horrible of a poster. Either that or you're 14 years old which is possible, I guess.
probably the best highlight video in the history of highlight videos- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BadjZsBk0c
:flush:
Bartons scoring has dropped in each of his previous two seasons at Memphis...down to 5 ppg last year as a junior.
Even though Edwards played in a smaller conference and at a less prestigious program, i'd rather have him. He's already proved he has the ability to score, and he has two years of eligibility as opposed to 1 with Barton. Hopefully with a redshirt year, he can develop even further and help fill the scoring void left by Shane when he graduates.

there is not mystery recruit. over there, that's just a guy in a suit.
Orris could dunk. It was in one of his highlight videos, I think.

So, as I understand it, we are looking at Lancona, Karapetyan, and Dibo for the stretch forward position, and are also eyeing a few transfer guards to fill a need and also balance these scholly numbers a bit. Mysrecruit isn't happening...is it? Are they just hedging their bets, because he might not be locked up? Does the staff honestly feel like any of these players are surefire NBA players? I just don't see it happening and I was an idiot for entertaining the thought.

We are really not in on Dibo, no real chance of landing him. Also I don't really think Karapetyan has a scholarship offer i.e. If he called oscar up right now and said he wan't to make it official oscar would mush him. I believe he is a safety recruit. The four that matter are Mystery Recruit, Barton, Edwards and Lancona.

my guess is we end up with Edwards and one of either Lancona or Karapetyan. I'm still not convinced mystery recruit exists and Barton is going to stay out East.

Lancona is deciding very quickly, most likely monday. I think he is ours, visit is to just make sure every think is up to snuff.

Just confirmed that 6-foot-10 Georgetown transfer Brandon Bolden has committed to K-State.
I have just confirmed that Brandon Bolden, a 6-foot-10, 210-pound transfer from Georgetown, has committed to K-State. I have an interview scheduled later this afternoon and will get the story up as soon as possible.
Played club for Nike Team Florida ... Selected for the NBPA Top 100 Camp in the summer of 2011.
QuoteI have just confirmed that Brandon Bolden, a 6-foot-10, 210-pound transfer from Georgetown, has committed to K-State. I have an interview scheduled later this afternoon and will get the story up as soon as possible.
Brandon Bolden is the near opposite player of Otto Porter, who, as you may have heard, was the most prepared freshman JT3 ever coached. As noted above, Bolden's high school career was inglorious and his motor was questioned. In Kenner League, despite towering over most opponents his positioning and footwork was terrible, he was almost always out of place on defense, which cost him rebounds and forced him to swing wildly attempting to block shots. Touch was non-existent on his jumper. On the other hand, his athleticism was, in flashes, wowing. Given an open floor on a fast break, he went basket-to-basket with astonishing speed. His footwork isn't there yet, but unlike Otto, he plays well above the rim. His dunks were ferocious whereas even Otto's breakaway dunks lack force.
Worst Case Scenario:
Bolden ends up on the 2012-13 highlights reel with a few huge dunks in garbage time against Liberty and Towson. Bolden remains a project and despite his athleticism, looks years away from have the discipline on defense or the form on offense to a positive contributor on a Big East contender.
Great an even shittier JO.
I got excited at first when I saw he was from Georgetown and looked at all of his offers, but after reading up, it sounds like he was a major bust. Like we're transferring in Wally2.0
So wait, this kid came off the bench.... in high school? :eek:
#burnitdown
meh, whatever
This is probably the best we could hope for once Dibo signed with hillbillies. I'm not crazy about having this kid locking up a scholarship for a year where he doesn't play, especially since lots of people don't think he has the motor to ever be an effective player at this level. On the other hand, a kid like this definitely needs a year off to put in some work and get perspective on where he is as a basketball player. I'm a little torn, but on the whole it's probably a good move.Remember when we recruited kids who were talented and outworked everyone and now we recruit kids who use to be talented and are lazy effs? Good times!
3 for 2?

no problem. and before some negative nancy wants to come in here and post negative crap (because i know someone will want to), before you do ask yourself this...how many big12 basketball championships have i was as a coach? now if the number is less than two, i'd think long and hard about how relevant your opinion is. because from what i can tell, our head coach already has one and knows way more about basketball then you ever will so just shut up.

Word is he grew 2 inches last year. While it may be an exaggeration, some male athletes continue to grow until about 23 years old. I believe someone mentioned earlier that he may be 7 feet tall by the time he graduates. I guess we won't truly know until he is on campus.
Wish we had him from the get go for next season

"Queens, NY - This past Saturday CourtCred was at IS 8, checking out the games before the playoffs start this week. It is always good to see local talent at IS 8, especially talent from Queens. Sometimes though local talent doesn't always stay local. For instance Jevon Thomas. Originally committed to St. Johns In 2012, Thomas reopened his recruitment and then committed to Dayton. Thomas would eventually leave NYC to play in NC (Quality ED) while finishing his high school/post grad career at St. Johns North West Military Academy (Wisconsin.) After changing his mind again, Thomas is going to be at Kansas State this season. Wow did this kid impress. He was clearly the best player on the court, standing at only 5'11. You can tell he has been working on his body, as he is very strong and cut up. He also took numerous hits to the floor but bounced right back up like a pogo stick. Playing in the BIG 12, you have to be tough. And this kid is. His speed, athleticism, strength and play making ability will make him dangerous in the BIG 12 next season. One trainer in the crowd was saying Thomas "is D-League ready right now". That is how in shape he is. Look for big things this year from Jevon."It is weird how when Jevon reclassified he lost his ranking. Scouts weren't high on him because they thought he was a problem child and was too weak. Now they believe he has improve both of those flaws and he is still not a ranked player. Jevon can flat out play and should be a joy to watch.

"Queens, NY - This past Saturday CourtCred was at IS 8, checking out the games before the playoffs start this week. It is always good to see local talent at IS 8, especially talent from Queens. Sometimes though local talent doesn't always stay local. For instance Jevon Thomas. Originally committed to St. Johns In 2012, Thomas reopened his recruitment and then committed to Dayton. Thomas would eventually leave NYC to play in NC (Quality ED) while finishing his high school/post grad career at St. Johns North West Military Academy (Wisconsin.) After changing his mind again, Thomas is going to be at Kansas State this season. Wow did this kid impress. He was clearly the best player on the court, standing at only 5'11. You can tell he has been working on his body, as he is very strong and cut up. He also took numerous hits to the floor but bounced right back up like a pogo stick. Playing in the BIG 12, you have to be tough. And this kid is. His speed, athleticism, strength and play making ability will make him dangerous in the BIG 12 next season. One trainer in the crowd was saying Thomas "is D-League ready right now". That is how in shape he is. Look for big things this year from Jevon."It is weird how when Jevon reclassified he lost his ranking. Scouts weren't high on him because they thought he was a problem child and was too weak. Now they believe he has improve both of those flaws and he is still not a ranked player. Jevon can flat out play and should be a joy to watch.

Jevon Thomas...Our Wiggins!
Foster and Westicles
They are both set to play in the Texas high school all star games set for this Friday in San Antonio. Based on the classifications of their respective schools, Westicles will be playing in the 4A-5A game and Foster will be playing in the 1A-3A game. There are well over 10 DI signees in the 4A-5A game, including Westicles, Michael Williams(TCU), Jonathan Motley(Baylor), Derrick Griffin(Miami), and Tavario Miller(Texas A&M). The 1A-3A game features Foster, Dustin Thomas(Colorado), and Isaac Thornton(San Jose St). Full rosters for both games linked below.
http://www.tabchoops.org/allstarB.html
As had previously been reported here, Foster was named the TX 3A player of the year. Westicles was named 1st team All-Class 5A and was also named 2nd team All Greater Houston by the Houston Chronicle, see link below. It would have been great for them to do a short writeup on each player, but they did post pictures of most of them, Westicles is #6 on the slide.

1.Foster-6’3 Fr SG-NR/NR
2.Westicles-6’7 Fr SF-NR/NR
3.Thomas-6’0 Fr PG-NR/NR
4.Fincher-6’9 Fr C-NR/NR
5.Johnson-6’1 Fr PG-NR/NR
On a hunch, I'm gonna guess "NR".
Jevon Thomas - He really good, only thing is he is small... like really really good. (Really explosive)
Nigel Jonhon - pretty good, only thing he is small and more of a combo then a point. (Really explosive)
Macus Foster - Solid player, big body kid. Needs to get in better shape.
Westicles - Athletic with great length. Needs a lot of work on his jump shot, needs bulk and strength.
Neville Fincher - Good size with great athleticism for a big. Game is really raw needs to develop and face up game or post up game.
Class has potential and no glaring weakness (stuff you can't fix like athleticism). Also Jevon, Nigel, Marcus and Wesley have been highly praised for their BBIQs. They really need the SF mystery commit to qualify; class needs a buy a bucket type of scorer.

Nope, def the hunter. Currie is the guy at the gun show that sold oscar the rifle without checking to see if he had ever shot a program dead in the past.
The question has never been will it out live oscar, it's will anyone care that it out lived oscar.
So, maybe oscar is sloppy that particular morning in the field and just hits us in the lung rather than the heart. Fastforward a decade and our lungs are so bad we can't run any more but on good days we can walk out to get the mail.
you really think we could score a lot of points?
you really think we could score a lot of points?
Dax, are you sure you are feeling genuine optimism or is it just your contrary nature?
The best I can come up with is Shane is a NBA player and can still shoot 40% on 3s as the primary(only?) perimeter threat, one of the freshman pgs is legit and the rest of our NRs are at least average Big 12 athletes. I will admit I have hope Weber can sprinkle the same jumper improvement dust on Gip that he gave Shane and Gip starts reliably hitting 15 footers in conference play.
All the above happening a 5% chance and probably means 4th in the conference and a 8-9 game appearance.
I'm at a 4, but secretly convinced we could be a 7.
Foster is a Parade All-American. Tucks on other board eating it up as oscar affirmation. But WTF? Has he played enough quality AAU ball to rate that or is Parade just bathroom literature (Semi was their player of the year)?
I expect a good athlete and potentially good player but one who arrives with a lot of holes in his game.
Pro Tip: Shane is not an NBA player.
Not even a pro tip, really. Maybe should call it a Really rough ridin' Obvious Tip? :dunno:

Just curious what holes in his game you see?
To my untrained eye he looks a lot like a Cartier Martin, and of all the guys we have coming in he has my hopes up that he'll make an impact from day one.
I put the 5% thing on there to indicate it is very unlikely that Shane is an NBA player. That said, San Antonio rolls guys like Shane (Long, can make open 3s, can pass and play d within the system). Shane prolly screwed that up with RC when he was mean to Kevin Young on twitter.Pro Tip: Shane is not an NBA player.
Not even a pro tip, really. Maybe should call it a Really rough ridin' Obvious Tip? :dunno:
I could see Shane being one of those WTF 2nd round NBA drafts picks. He has the best combination of athleticism, length and skill since Beasley for KSU.
Gary Parrish ?@GaryParrishCBS 55s
Just texted with Antonio Barton. He said he'll be picking between four schools -- Kansas State, Maryland, Tennessee and Texas A&M.
Shane's biggest weakness is he's slow, everything else could check out as a bench guy in the league, but he'll need to prove he can shoot like that constantly, not just one year.

From the limited stuff I've seen, it sounds like it well be tough to beat Maryland.
I hardly watch NBA. Is there a part of the league that is like 10-20% as good as the teams that make tv in the kc market? If so, shane may have an outside chance to make those teams practice squads, but only if there are like 50 such teams.you guys realize Cartier has been bouncing around the league as wing for years now, right? IF Shane is really a 40% from 3 guy ( :crossfingers: :pray:) he is much better handling the ball than Cartier and I don't think there is much diff athletically between the two and Shane maybe longer.

QuoteFormer Iowa State signee Richard Amardi will visit Gonzaga, Oregon, Kansas State and Arizona State starting this weekend, per his JC coach.
Quote from: Jeff Eisenberg's TwitterQuoteFormer Iowa State signee Richard Amardi will visit Gonzaga, Oregon, Kansas State and Arizona State starting this weekend, per his JC coach.QuoteAmardi, a 6-foot-9 forward from Indian Hills CC, signed an NLI with Iowa State back in November. For the last nine months, he’s been locked in to be a Cyclone during the 2013-2014 season. But since Fred Hoiberg was once again active on the transfer market and landed for Marshall guard Deandre Kane late last month, there are now no scholarships available for Amardi.
He’s been released from his NLI by Iowa State.
He will not be a Cyclone unless he feels like paying his own way to go to school there.
To be frank, I don’t have a huge issue with the way that ISU head coach Fred Hoiberg handled this situation. Is it ideal? No, but the bottom line is that Amardi got cut. He has one season of eligibility left, and it makes much more sense for Hoiberg to have Kane on the roster than Amardi, considering that both players have just one year of eligibility remaining. At the end of the day, Kane is a better player than Amardi, and while it’s not the classiest way to handle the situation, Hoiberg is there to win basketball games, not to cater to the last scholarship player on his bench.

I don't know why anybody would thinks loosing a JUCO recruit that has one year to play is a big deal. The problem wasn't going to be solved by Amardi.

With or with out Amardi we are going to have to play 4 a guard system. I don't think Amardi was going to be better than a DJamer with marginal improvements. The lack of big depth was created along time ago before Fincher didn't qualify or before we didn't land a JUCO big. Weber really needed Diaz to be better or needed very good big in the 2012 class. Neither he had much control over. He could of also landed an elite big this year, but we all know that wasn't going to happen.I don't know why anybody would thinks loosing a JUCO recruit that has one year to play is a big deal.

It's a big deal because we don't have any big men on our roster other than 6'-6" Thomas Gipson.
But, yes, as long as we're fine with assembling a roster to play in the Big XII that doesn't include a big man or any big man depth in 2013, then this isn't really a big deal.

It's official Jack Karpetyan is going on a visit to Kansas State this weekend. Next week he and Coach Middlebrooks will announce the decision.Not about this, not about this at all. :curse:
So long as his grades check out, somebody needs to be jumping all over unsigned senior Jack Karapetyan from Los Angeles (Calif.) Cathedral Prep. A 6-foot-7 forward, he can play at either the three or the four and is skilled. He can shoot with range, he is clever around the basket, and he is good with the dribble. He plays strong, he's tough, and he seems like somebody capable of helping on the upper mid-major to lower-end high-major level sooner than later.
oscar Weber, Head Coach from Kansas was in the house checking out Cathedral kids and looking very closely at one Middlebrooks Academy kid!!! May have news pretty soon! Check out details on Middlebrooks Academy facebook page:

So this is how oscar gets his foot in the door? Claiming to be the Kansas coach?

He appears to be Lorenzo Mata's half brother, so basketball is in his genes.

This is correct from what I have heard also. Very similar to another Cali recruit oscar had at Illinois, Quinton Watkins. He was a very good student but had really screwed up transcripts from attending multiple high schools in different districts, with different requirements. Some schools backed off because they didn't know if he'd be cleared to play. Most schools never really expressed any serious interest due to that uncertainty. Don't know if he's any good but his lack of offers was more to do with qualifying issues.

Watkins was not a "very good student." He didn't go anywhere in 2007. Not even juco. Enrolled at SDSU in January of 2008 and was out of school by April that same year. Didn't turn up in the juco ranks until 2010 and is now playing D-II ball. You're a rough ridin' dumbass.
Score, rebound, pass, run the break, block shots; Jack Karapetyan can do a little bit of everything.
A 6-7 forward with Middlebrook Prep, Karapetyan is one signature away from becoming a known commodity.
"There's a lot of programs that could use a player like him," Karapetyan's coach, William Middlebrooks told GoldenBearReport recently.
The quintessential stat-stuffer, Karapetyan has been known to lead his squad in scoring one night and then gobble-up rebounds and assists the next.
He's also a strong student at Los Angeles' Cathedral High School, meaning whichever program does offer the sleeper prospect won't have to worry about him qualifying.
"His recruitment got started kind of late because he didn't really play for anyone last summer, but he's playing for the Compton Magic this spring so he'll definitely get noticed," said Middlebrooks. "Once he's seen in the spring, I don't think he'll last more than a week without an offer."
The absence of scholarship offers doesn't mean colleges haven't started to take notice.
"At last check, the schools that seemed most interested were Kansas State, Penn State, UC Irvine, Pepperdine and Davidson," noted Middlebrooks. "I think he's a guy who could play high major but who could also blow-up on the mid-major level because he'd put-up numbers immediately."
For his part, the 2013 hoopster isn't overly concerned with his still yet to be determined landing spot.
"He's smart enough not to jump at the first offer," said Middlebrooks. "He wants to play in a major conference but at the same time, he wants to go somewhere where he's utilized, so it just depends on how the coach is planning to use him."
And though no coaches have pulled the trigger, to see Karapetyan play is to know he won't have to wait much longer.
"He loves basketball," remarked Middlebrooks. "He's a high energy guy who can impact games in many different ways. There's a spot on a lot of rosters for a guy like that."
I say we just hold the scholarship, write next year off, and hope oscar and Co. get some of those kids they're in on for 2014.

never hold any ships. always give someone a chance and if he's no good, replace him the following year.

He is not athletic, moves like crap and doesn't appear to be able to guard his position. I don't really know what his position is going to be, but it doesn't matter. He can't dribble and isn't fast enough to get open off the ball. I don't know if he brings anything to the table.

LBBIQ'r here...I have some thoughts. Vertically, he's got decent speed for a guy of his size (not super tall, but pretty burly for a high school senior), but laterally either he doesn't have the handles to make it around guys, or he is just wearing concrete blocks for shoes. He's got okay hops, should be able to dunk it when open. His shot is weird, just a tiny little flick, but it seems to be consistent. He seems to have a good feel around the bucket, and with this frame I could see him being a very opportunistic scorer down low on missed shots. His handles are alright, but nothing to write home about, shouldn't be a liability with the ball. Overall, it seems he will be a player who could be better than the sum of his parts. I've heard stat-stuffer thrown around quite a bit with this kid, and I think that's probably pretty accurate. I wouldn't imagine he will be a guy you rely on to try and make something happen in a game, but if he continues to develop and plays within his game, I could see him being a guy that you're surprised by his stat line every night.
I really like this class now! The basketball skill level is outstanding. This guy reminds me of the ISU kid who plays inside, and can shoot the 3.
oscar just stole $30,000 from KSU traveling to Europe and had to justify it.
Bob Strawn is on the Krap train.I can't wait to start using 'baller' to sarcastically describe our players! And you guys say Strawn is worthless.Quotetmcats

there's nothing in those highlights that would indicate that he can't play. he seems to have some skill. the really bad highlights look like they were from when he was 15 or so.Kind of what I was thinking. You guys are being reverse :opcat:

Whoever did that should not have been messing with player's profile and deciding on those things without running it up the chain of command. But I digress.EAAW
This kid is exactly what he is, a bubble mid/high major prospect and likely role player. He's very tough, definitely plays in attack mode and has a reasonable set of skills. He did play with the Compton Magic but was playing for one of their several teams, wasn't playing with their main "elite" team.
Lower end to mid level three-star prospect. There aren't a lot of available guys left out there for 2013 so it's a given that pretty much anybody getting signed at any level right now could be a bit of a reach. I don't think it's unreasonable to hope he can turn into a decent role player with time, but I think it's tough to expect much more than that.
As an aside, anybody who gets to sit next to his family during a game is in for a show. Got to sit next to them at a few games in Vegas in April and they are maybe the most intense family I've ever seen. Lots of screaming, swearing and commentary in a foreign language. Very entertaining and they are into supporting their boy.

Good call, SD. :lol:QuoteFirst-year Kansas State head coach oscar Weber has quietly put together an excellent 2013 recruiting class.
With four-star scoring guard Marcus Foster (Wichita Falls, Texas/Hirschi), long, athletic and skilled shooting guard Westicles (Houston/Westfield), and strong and physical attacking point guard Jevon Thomas (Queens, N.Y./St. John's Northwest Military Academy) already in the fold, on Monday Weber added three-star center Neville Fincher (Teaneck, N.J./Hargrave Military Academy) to give the Wildcats a class that has size, length, strength, athletic ability and tremendous upside.
The rest is insider, but it sounds like ESPN's recruiting people like the class.
I also like our class OK. not great, but not awful. Will need some more star power next year.
Sys, our token HBBIQ analyst. :lol:What number will Jevon wear? I want to get my jersey now.
best recruit in the class, imo. has upside.
the most important thing we need though is a pg. and we have that here. feels really good.No we don't, he left. :lol:
fanning, I'm not going to do it, but you don't want folks digging up your old posts.Yeah, good point. I couldn't find anything dumb I said in this thread, but it's kinda fun looking into the past. I'm pretty much sure I thought Fincher was the DITR of the class tho.
Fincher might ended up at Tennessee State today you guys. He was a spring signing. Dodged a bullet there. :lol:You know grades and such.
stop talking about recruits before wacky blasts you years laterOh, good grief, if you can't laugh at the combustion of these recruits, then you're a rough ridin' tuck.
honestly surprised no one predicted that the entire recruiting class would leave after 2 years, bunch of dumbasses around hereIf you aren't thoroughly reading through each one and don't see the irony behind some of them, then I can't help you. JFC, this blog pokes fun everyday, I'm not being harmful. I think some of these are funny with the situations and all. Parrish, ends up at TCU and beats us. Angel leaves, etc. Man up, tuck.
these were good bumps, wackycat08. don't let the haters knock you off your game.:thumbs:
