The Morris twins and a number of Tiger recruiting targets will be there. This list has been through multiple hands--Maggard said he got it from someone else, and I'm getting it from Maggard. I typed in the schools of the players who have already committed, along with an asterisk for players whom the Tigers have shown interest in.

Bob Gibbons Update #1

The Bob Gibbons tournament, being held at Cameron Indoor Stadium, the Smith Center, and other college and high-school gyms around the Research Triangle, has begun, and there is some news involving Elliot Williams. According to some Duke fans on Devils Den, Williams has met with Krzyzewski, and has received an offer, which he is reportedly seriously considering.

They also say that Williams will also go to UNC and meet with Roy Williams, but there is no word on whether he will receive an offer. North Carolina is also recruiting Jrue Holiday and Travis Releford (reportedly a Kansas lean) at SG, so it's hard to say if they will offer or not.

The interest in Williams is really strong now. He has tons of choices in addition to the Tigers. I haven't heard much about Williams in connection with the Tigers lately. Whatever Cal and staff are doing with him they're keeping very quiet. It certainly does appear from Williams's list that he is very interested in the ACC, along with Tennessee, Vanderbilt and other SEC schools.

Also, a Duke fan who was at the tournament posted this evaluation of Williams, which I found interesting:

"Elliot Williams Evaluation

I made the hour trip to Cameron tonight to watch Elliot Williams play, so I thought I would give my thoughts on his game from what I saw tonight.

First off, his athleticism is unbelievable. He was even more athletic than what I picked up from his film. He was throwing down 360 dunks and windmils in warmus like they were nothing. His shot was also a little better than I was expecting. I think he about about 4 threes tonight. He does need to work on shooting off the dribble, however, as it seemed that he missed badly when he shot jumpers off the dribble. He was a very good finisher in the lane, and he can take contact and finish the play. One of the things that I liked most about his game was that he actually seemed to prefer to handle the ball with his right hand, as well as to drive to the right. He could drive the ball with either hand equally well, and he had a very quick crossover. He was also a very good passer, although he didn't really play any point tonight. He had 3 or 4 amazing passes that made me believe he could play the point in college. Defensively, he could be a real force at the college level. He has some good length, and he really gets after it on the defensive end.

Overall, I can see why he was rated as highly ashe was. If he could work on not taking some of the off-balance jumpers that he takes, he would be the answer to our prayers. This is not official, but I would guess that he finished the night with a little over 20 points and 5 assists." by dukefan75

I haven't seen Williams play, either in person or on television. Does this match what those of you who have seen him play thought about his game?

Bob Gibbons Update #2

According to Matt Jones's Kentucky Sports Radio blog, Mount Vernon, NY HS PF Kevin Jones has trimmed his list to Memphis, Kentucky, Syracuse, Louisville, and Indiana:

Tubby Smith was one of the first to get in on him, and Gillispie has continued recruiting him. The Tigers, Louisville, and Indiana have also been working him for some time.

Some recent information on Kevin Jones:

Syracuse and Indiana are also recruiting Peekskill HS SF/PF Mookie Jones. I'm not sure Syracuse has room for both Joneses, but they would definitely like at least one.

i want Liggins...i doubt EW will be a Tiger, and i really think DeAndre will fit right in here.

Liggins AND the Morris twins...

Go Tigers!!!

So who do you think is the better player between Williams and Liggins
