Jovan Adams committed to UNLV. You also left Magnum
Rolle and Madsen off the list.
Huggs rarely makes his in-home visit schedule public.

Tomorrow begins the open contact period
for coaches to make in home visits with
potential recruits and I wanted to make a
few comments in regards to who we are
actively recruiting. Looking at the list
of present recruits on this website, three
of them have made verbal commitments to
other schools. Tyler Smith verballed to
Tennessee this past weekend, Ben McCauley
committed to NC State, and Ryan Boyd
committed to Southwest Missouri State last
week. UC has 4 scholarships to give out to the
class of 2005. One has already been given to
Tyree Evans and one needs to go to a point guard,
but
which one is the millions dollar question. For
those of
you that have a computer that allows you to play
video's
off the internet rivals.com has video on Eaton,
Clemente,
Downey, and Flowers. Watching the three potential
point guard recruits I would have to say that would
fit
UC's system best at this moment. Watching Dennis
Clemente's video I am not sure there is enough balls
to share between Banks, Bright, Evans, and Clemente.
Offense would not be a problem with this group, but
I
think they would lake a true playmaker. Downey is
looked to be a shoot first point guard as well. He
is
extremely quick, but he looks to be very thin.
Giving up
20-25 pounds and 2-3 inches in height may hurt his
ability
to put up the same numbers in college. Eaton looked
to
be the best fit for UC. He can get into the lane,
make
the mid range jump shoot, shoots free throws very
well.
Downey only shoot 57% from the FT line in one of
the tournaments this past summer. Byron also to be
a
very aggressive defender. With Banks, Bright, and
Evans
coming to UC this team does not need another scorer
from
the perimeter. They need a point guard who
understand the
system and can create shots for his teammates. I
have
to believe UC is a lock for one of this three
players. On a
good note Jovan Adams is suppose to choose between
UNLV and Arkansas by the end of the week. If he
chooses
the Hogs that would eliminate them from recruiting
Clemente and
Downey. Again, I will take any of the three but
Eaton would fit our
systems best. Mike, do we know of any in home
visits that Huggins
has scheduled?? We have two remaining scholarships
to give and
both should go to a post player. My concern here is
that if Flowers or
Davis commit to another school UC will be back in
the Juco ranks
recruiting another Derek Hollman or Kareem Johnson.
Has anybody
heard anything about Leo Criswell-teammate of Tyree
Evans at Winchendon?
Sorry for the long post, but this should be a very
exciting time for UC
basketball.
