The high school basketball season is over and we're not getting any 4 or 5 star recruits but help is on the way. We're bringing in good size with 6-8, 6-9 and 6-10 up front plus 6-3 and 6-5 guards. We will also have Nizar Kapic a 6-6 shooting guard whom I'm told is a very good shooter. He got a medical redshirt this year.

ANDREW DRONE--6-10, 260 from Gallatin County HS in southern Illinois. Was 1st team all-state and led team to the super sectional. Averaged 26 points per game.

MARCUS JACKSON--6-3, 160, Pacific Hills HS in Los Angeles. Team was state champion Division IV, scored 23 points in championship game. I saw him play on TV earlier this year, reminded me of a smaller version of Morris Almond. Very smooth.

DREW BENDER--6-5, 190 Pinnacle HS in Arizona. Team was Division1 state runner-up and sectional champion. Drew made 2nd team all-state, averaged 14.7 PPG, 4.1 assist and 1.4 steals. 2 point FG % 50%, 3 point 33.3%, 80% FT. Can play the 1, 2 or 3. Called a defensive stopper.

SEAN OBI--6-9, 250, Green Farms Academy HS in Connecticut, native of Nigeria, Class C Player of the Year. As a junior averaged 18.2 points and 20 rebounds a game. As senior hit 66% from field, had 56 double doubles. Won FAA and New England Championships. Went to a small academic school that was 1-14 three years ago. Obviously will be stepping up a lot in class, but size and agility look promising.

DENZEL DAVIS--6-8, 200, Orlando FL, Lake Highland Prep. Seeing his junior stats I wasn't too impressed but it looks like he may be a comer. Injured his leg badly as an 8th grader and didn't play again until his junior year. Hit 55% FG, 36% on threes. All around player his team didn't need him to score, but he rebounded 8 per game, blocked shots, played D, passed and can shoot from the outside.

Looks like a lot of potential coming in.
