Thanks Fan1!

That's good stuff, keep us updated. It might be nice during basketball to see stats of these guys, and keep us abreast of any new guys coming up... Especially a good 6'11 beast that we desperately need.

I would be satisfied with good 6'7-6'8 guys.

Watching Johnson in these clips reminds me of Trazell Silvers!!!!!!!!!

I might be wrong but I believe that's a different Desmond Johnson. The one above says he plays for "Cumberland County" and the school in the videos is Cumberland High, which is in Harlan County (Cumberland will be a part of the new Harlan County High opening up this year). They're also playing Middlesboro, Harlan, etc...schools in that area, which Cumberland County doesn't play. That Desmond Johnson (Cumberland High) signed with LMU (the one in this area, Lincoln-Memorial).

Wow, we are recruiting a kid that Berea, Morehead ST. and Union are in on. I'm sure he must be a real sleeper.

Info. on some of these prosepcts:
John David Little Breakdown: All around player that handles the ball extremely well, especially at the end of a game. Drives to the goal very well and strong at the same time. Will not force anything when driving and dishes the ball to the cutting man better than anyone in the country. Shoots the ball very well from anywhere on the court especially from the 3 point range. Basketball IQ is exceptionally high and is one of those players a coach wants on the court at the end of a game. This kid will be a major steal for a Division 1 program and already has qualified.

John David Little, 6'2 2G, Memphis Hoopers (Olive Branch, MS)-- one of the biggest surprises during the weekend. JD was tough, quick, and a great shooter. Got his shot off well, showed great handles, and had a confident swagger about his game. Looked like a really good mid major player...

Skylar McBee, 6'1 2G/PG, Ballerz South (Rutledge HS)-- pure shooter and pure competitor! Can score off the catch, off the one dribble pull up, or get all the way in the lane. Very good cross-over. One of the State's best...

Nathan Parker, 6'5 Wing, Ballerz South (Bearden HS)-- continues to ascend up the State rankings, and now looks like a Top 10 player in Class of 2009. Scores from deep, mid range, and around the hole. Long arms make him a match up nightmare for opponents...

By the way:

Little committed to MT today. Link: http://forums.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=349&f=2394&t=2769864

Wonder when MT will play ET again? I'd love to see it.

Man there is a serious lack of height and size in these recruits which is what we need most.

R

I thought Torlynn Fitzpatrick from Tampa's King High School was also in the mix.

Sorry. I got the name wrong.
F Toarlyn Fitzpatrick, King, Jr.: He averaged 15.5 points and had 10 double doubles last year.

I see where Fitzpatrick is listed at anywhere from 6'6 to 6'9 but is described as "rangy" which to me is code for skinny and I finally found a site that listed a weight 190.

I have not heard anything about him myself. Checked on Rivals and he has a few high major offers. Do you have the article about him where it mentions us?
