According to kcprephoops, Cauley is already getting attention from CFH. This particular site believes that cauley will be a better player in the long run than Perry Ellis out of Wichita who is getting a lot of attention nationwide. Cauley has been flying well under the radar even here in Olathe where he is now playing his HS ball.
"
in our rankings of Kansas City area players, we placed Cauley ahead of Perry Ellis for long-term upside. And we heard a lot of disagreement from fans and some coaches. Based on his potential and ability to make an impact at the collegiate level, we believe he has the potential to be a big-time player (just like Ellis does), and we like his size as the real differentiator. It’s still early in the basketball life of Willie Cauley, but his raw talent, desire and coachability tell us he should be considered one of the top centers in the 2012 class."

I didn't realize you are in KC. I used to be. What ever happened to Reece Holiday from Sumner having interest in ISU? The other two from Sumner, Parker and Allen I liked a lot a couple years ago, from ESPN it looks like Parker has progressed a little bit more, but I have a lot of respect for the Sumner program and the class of kids playing there.
Do you know if Rutter has any ties to Rufus King and a chance to pull Arroyo as well from Wisconsin? To be completely honest, I live in Michigan but I get over to Wisconsin with my brother living in Madison, and I like Wisc basketball more than Mich right now. The boys from Pershing and Romulus look good, but the discipline they play against is pretty poor and it doesn't seem to be as high quality of a measure as the kids from Wisconsin we have a shot at.
Morgan at W.Y. in Chicago is for real. I try and get to W.Y. or a Proviso game every year and I really like Morgan. I'd like to see ISU go after him more. A friend in NJ told me about Anderson and he really, really likes him. It be nice to see if ISU can even enter the conversation for him.
The last guy is the kid from S.C. Jones I just happened to stumble upon on a vacation this summer. I know he is flying a little under the radar down there and he is another I would love to see if ISU can enter the conversation for him. I have to say, I think so much more is possible with Fred in town. I don't know where Lutz pulled most of his talent, but I hope he had some S.C. ties.
