Good stuff on the Hardaway video Mitchigan. I was actually talking with the folks over at ILL HS BBall about the video earlier today. Didn’t know it was posted yet.

I don’t think you guys saw this yet. Below are two videos of Timmy Jr.

Also, I know 2011 is a very strong class, but regarding PLP – I’ve heard a few different reports that rate him as a top 3 player in the state. He’s the best pure point guard. I’ll take a combo of PLP Brundige, Kearney, Amir Williams, or Miles. Either way we are looking at some top talent for 2011 with at most 2-3 scholarships remaining (could even be only one).

That Mini-Van is like Austin Powers in the golf cart…

Jimmy: An additional ‘ship for ’10. But Manny would only free one for 2010, they wouldn’t increase the # we have to give between 2010+2011 (three). Take two more in 2010 and we are stuck at one in 2011.

Always a handy reference…

I’d say that Manny Harris is likely to leave if we have a good season, so that would open up an additional scholarship.

New Offer?

The race to get involved with Jonathan Arledge continues to pick up steam. Fresh off his eye-opening performance at the Reebok Summer Classic, the 6-foot-9 PF/C from KIMA near DC has received offers from Penn State and Michigan. Georgetown and Providence have also been taking an interest.

Anyone notice during the PLP interview, the van in the background doing a 6+ point turnaround trying to get out of that parking space?! Some people just shouldn’t be driving.

I think if jb offers somebody he really wants them (unlike rr)… so i kind of questoin that also benjamin and i dont really have an answer. plp is pretty short and i havent seen him, but running a 1 3 1 and being short is tough. why have none of the services rated him? BUT jb knows wat he is doing. proven that pretty thoroughly. In other words, i am not too worried.

also, what does it take to get a player to campus? only the intrest of the player? i have no idea how that process works..

I agree with you Adam. Getting Prather on campus is a must and can only lead to good things.
