2009-Not looking to take anyone. CB will almost surely be around next year
2010
A) Harrison barnes
After Harrison, the two other recruits we're going after really hard are
B) Melvin Ejim, a stud three, who can play anything from the 1 to 5. Probably the best back-up option out there
C)Kelm,remains close to committing, I would bet he finally commits in May-June
D) Also showing interest in Josh Gasser, a 1/2 combo who is scoring thirty points a game in Wisconsin, and is rumored to be close to Iowa and Indiana offers
2011
Illinois-
Chasson Randle-An all around stud, putting up 19 points a game in 5 A Illinois basketball as a sophomore. We are actually having Colvin go to some of his games now, and having them establish a relationship. I really like our chances with Chasson, he's visiting this weekend.
(He's also ranked first in his class at Rock Island for academics.)
Michael Shaw-
We may get him in for a visit, but as of right now, he'll probably be an Illini.
Sam Thompson- Another class of 2011 stud, a 6'6 multi talented 3
We're also showing some interest in several others from 2011. There's a few whose names I won't release from a while, as we're keeping our recruitment of them on the DL
Wisconsin
Paul Jesperson-continuing to show interest, though right now, we want Darnell Harris over him
Darnell Harris-Multi-talented player. Played the 4 during AAU, but we're recruiting him as a 3. He would already be committed, but we haven't offered yet because he has some works to do on grades. FWIW, we really want him, and hope he can get the grades, because after another summer of AAU, this kid is going to blow up. He is long, athletic, a great passer, a great shooter, defender, and hs awesome court vision.
Darell Longstreet- A great shooter who can also get to the rim, Longstreet is a very good player. He broke his wrist and is out for the rest of the season.
We are also recruiting Rasham Suarez, a soph from Findlay Prep, formerly from IC West
There are some bigs that we are after in 2011, but I'm not sure who they all are yet.
2012
Staten-continues to improve at an almost frightening rate. He's really, really good.:yes: Staten is projected to end up somewhere around 6'4" to 6'5"
Mike Gesell- He's 6'0", but doctors project him to grow to 6'4", his older brother was approximately 6'7" and played for Mac at Wayne State. He's a great shooter, and can dunk it already, I'm just hoping he grows
Marcus Paige-6'0" and about done growing. He's just a really smart, talented player. Close to offers from Wisconsin and Iowa
Otis Pirtle-A talented three from the state of wisconsin
Junior Lomomba-Really good, Duke will probably offer pretty soon. He lives with the Maymon's (As in Jeronne and his crazy father.) He is rumored to be going to Oak Hill next year
JP Tkoto
A talented 4 man from the state of Wisconsin, he and Lomomba are battling for the tag of the best player in the state of Wisconsin
