Some highlights of Miles Latimer. Your first impression will be
"his hair is terrible" but then I think you'll see he's an
athletic, high-energy kid. I like the passion.

He also looks like he has a high bball iq which you can never
have too much of. If he didn't commit before the July recruiting
period, Latimer would have a lot more hype.

Ceesay will be the top dog at ESHS with Elijah doing his thing
over here. He was 2nd team All-Group 4 last year; Olaniyi made
1st team.

That was quick. Ceesay committed to Stony Brook!

I can't find any other schools offering Hassan. IS he really
that good of a guard?

I remember thinking he was good last year when I was following
Olaniyi. He dislocated his knee last March so he missed the
major recruiting periods in April and July where kids get most
of their offers.

Not sure where to put this..... For all the people who say it
makes no sense to move SB into the CAA and it is a waste of
time!.. I say bologna. The CAA conference is ahead of the AE by
a fairly good margin, and usually is every year.. Some people
say the CAA is still a one bid league and it would only be a
lateral. This is true but the CAA is knocking on the door of an
at large conference.. If UA and SB make that improvable move
into the CAA I think that will help the CAA to become a better
conference, well, UA will help more than us lately. But I think
you guys get the idea.
The AE is ranked #23 out of #32 conferences and the CAA is
ranked #14...

Us and Albany would make the conference better, but it would do
little to get the league an at-large bid so let's kill that idea
right now.
What would make the CAA expand right now and who is to say
Hofstra, Northeastern, etc. don't move to kill the expansion
like they did last time? Only reason they expand is if JMU
and/or Delaware go FBS and they're looking to backfill. The
programs that made the CAA a multi-bid conference are mostly in
the A10 now and that league ain't budging until Dayton, St.
Louis, VCU, and/or Umass are all gone. At 14 they have no reason
to make a move right now.

Worth noting: Donatas Kupsas, a PF from LuHi, has removed us
from consideration. His list is down to Fordham, Hofstra and,
you guessed it, Weber State.
Supposedly we're still in the mix for his teammate, stringy
southpaw Frankie Policelli, but I think we're a darkhorse at
best for him. Dayton, Cincinnati, VCU, and many others on his
list.

Thanks for that update, checkmate. I wont hold my breath with
expecting Policelli neither. We are up against some pretty
strong mid major schools..
