2009-basketball-recruiting Stories - Hail to the Orange
Illini top recruit Crandall Head to miss senior season with torn ACL.
Crandall Head, the younger brother of former Illini standout Luther Head and very highly touted recruit by the Illini, will miss his HS senior season due to an ACL tear. He will have surgery to repair it next week. Well, this certainly isn't good news I suppose, but I have seen people make full...
Painter Down to Two; Sets Decision Date
The Terps' last realistic target for the 2009 class (no, not Lance Stephenson), cut his list down to two yesterday and 6 '9 big man DeShawn Painter now lists Maryland and NC State as his finalists. This comes off the heels of Painter's visit to College Park this past weekend where he apparently...
Basketball Recruiting Update: Ridge McKeither
Well, forget about what I posted last night. Given the fact that Latavious Williams is no longer interested in Kansas State, it appears that a new name has appeared on the radar: Ridge McKeither. McKeither is a 6'5" forward from the North Dakota State College of Science. He's a First-team NJCAA...
Thursday News and Notes
Basketball Horn Finalizes Recruiting Class. I'll have more on the recruiting class soon, but for now I'll say that this is a good class but not the kind we're going to need to begin getting to consistently compete with the UKs and UFs of the world. Rome wasn't built in a day,...
Melvin Goins is Officially a Tennessee Volunteer!
Today, Melvin Goins made his commitment to UT official by submitting his Letter of Intent and will officially be a BallerVol for the 2009-2010 season. Only the second incoming player for the 2009 recruiting class (the other is forward Kenny Hall), he fills a tremendous need at point guard for a...
Under Armor and Lance Stephenson Raising Questions
I enjoy the Washington Post. Great comics section, lots of news, relatively fair opinion pieces (Charles Krauthamer FTW). But I do not condone Eric Prisbell, at all. The Terps "beat writer" is quite possibly the most anti-Terps reporter in the business. I'm not saying they should get a homer like...
Lance Stephenson Rumors
Lots of rumors flying around now regarding the recruitment of Lance Stephenson. He's confirmed UCLA as out of it, which means that Kansas, Wake, Maryland, and SJU are the final four. One rumor (the most believable to me) is that SJU is almost surely out of it. It makes sense for a multitude of...
Hey, Haven't Had This in Awhile - More Lance Stephenson News
Sorry, but the world revolves around him right now. Gary and the AD have gone back to being boring, there's no interesting comments from Grievis, and one can only do so much with a team that is 95% sure to end up in the NIT, likely the most boring position a team can be in - not bad enough to be...
Catch Lance Stephenson and James Padgett On TV Tonight
I've been posting a lot on Lance Stephenson (indeed, about a post a day) but with good reason. Not only is he a huge prospect who would do gigantic things for Maryland as a program, he's an interesting character and people like to speculate. If you're wondering what all the fuss is about, now's...
Two New Commits for Penn State
Gimme a kicker, a siren, and a...point guard? Wooo really? (NOTE: See update below) Good news hit the recruiting scene yesterday when Penn State got a commitment from Houston St. Pius X kicker Anthony Fera. I'm sure you all know by now that Fera was originally commited to Rich Rodriguez and the...
