once again, major props on the sleuthing MRed. a little confused though, with as packed as this class is here in Iowa, and with the offers that seem to be out on the table, could there be a younger player he might be looking at?
I'd like to thank BF for telling us exactly where he is.
He's at the Jersey Community HS v Highland HS game in Jerseyville, IL.
could there be something else? it looks like that highland game was last night.
High School Basketball schedule for Jersey Community HS IL
That's the 2010-11 schedule. Pull down the season selector to 2009-10. It threw me at first, too.
that is weird that it defaults to next season. sorry for ever doubting you. On a side note, there are twin sisters in the St. Louis area that are really good for the 2012 class.
Highland won the game 74-50. Haven't found any other info on the game other than a boxscore for the Jerseyville team.
Steyer's likely back in Arkansas. Fayetteville does have a home game this afternoon. As much as our coaches have been down there, it's obvious we are working hard on getting Berna.

From the fact that she left yesterday rather than this morning, I'm guessing she probably scouted a game somewhere last night as well.
BF recruiting way down south somewhere:
Looks like either southern CA or somewhere in the vicinity of the gulf coast. My money's on either the greater LA area or somewhere in Texas.

Texas would make more sense as far as our typical recruting area. Whose the last player we got from California? Medders?
One of our incoming recruits is from CA: Kelsey Harris.
Slow day at work, so I started looking at flights (BF tweeted that he flew through Denver). There was a flight from Denver to Phoenix that took off shortly after that tweet and landed shortly before his latest one. Current temp in Phoenix: 59.
So Phoenix is my new guess.
Your commitment to knowing all about this little corner of the cyclone world never ceases to amaze me. My gf thinks I'm crazy, I should start showing her your posts.:smile:
I actually see flights to John Wayne Airport and San Diego in the right timeframe as well (and the right temperature). It doesn't look like Texas, though. It's either Phoenix or southern CA (LA or SD).
Please Mr. MNCY, don't discourage Mred; he is like an oracle without the superstition. Our Sherlock of the Net. And to us, it is not a "little corner."
There is a juco south of Phoenix that won the juco championship last year. Beat Danielle Adams (she's now at aTm) previously undefeated team for the championship.
Glad to hear it, and of course you are right that some of us get carried away a bit, myself included. I have even gone so far as to check another team's recruits to see if that team has gotten a commitment from a player that might dissuade a player both of us are after from committing to that other team. That is obsessional, I guess.
