This kid should help. DaJuan Gordon plays in Peoria tonight.
4A: Belleville West (32-4) vs. Curie (34-1), 7:15 p.m.
The game of the weekend. The Belleville West Maroons are the defending Class 4A state champions and the Chicago Curie Condors are the state’s current top-ranked team.
“It’s going to sell tickets,” Curie coach Mike Oliver said. “I love the challenge and we got it. I told the guys if you want to be the best we have to go down there and beat Belleville West.”
Both teams are experienced and have star power. For Belleville West it is EJ Liddell, an Ohio State recruit and the reigning Mr. Basketball. For Curie it is DaJuan Gordon, the Sun-Times Player of the Year and Kansas State recruit.

i hope Gordon is a star but he was our 2nd or 3rd choice and not recruited by big boys
Seriously, 4 star and Chicago Player of the Year. Murphy pushing for best player in Houston.
seriously being named Chicago player of the year or houston's best player don't mean anything. they are certainly NOT the caliber of players of previous winners of those honors. these players are fine but would be bench players at the blue bloods and were not heavily recruited despite these honors. and as i said we didn't go after gordon hard until we lost out on others first
seriously saying it "don't mean anything" is dumb. I get what you're saying, he isn't a KG, D Rose, Isaiah Hawkins level talent. But it does mean something, that he is the best player on one of chicago's best teams, and if you read his story you'd get why blue bloods didn't heavily recruit him. He wasn't on many team's radar until a year ago.
And stop acting like you know how "hard" we went after recruits like you have any inside info. Ya we lost out on some top 100 talent but holy crap why are you upset about landing a rising 150 talent? So weird.
