Not yet, I kno he did look good in the summer tournaments up in NYC, taking MVP in one and winning another one on a team with Mike Glover (SetonHall), Ant Glover, Artest, and Kemba, ..As for Nova itself, he'll probably be the 2 more than anything cause all signs pointing to Scottie being the fulltime 1 this year and Maalik taking that over next year, then again Wright is very unconventional with his guards so that all can change by the opener.Originally Posted by allen3xis

The latest Derrick Caracter update is this.
Despite the fact that Louisville sent Southern Mississippi Caracter's release last week, Caracter has not arrived on the Southern Miss campus.
"He's not enrolled," said a Southern Miss spokesman. "He's not here. I have not heard that (he's coming)."
As reported here last week, Louisville sent his release to Southern Miss.
"The release has been sent to them (Southern Miss)," a source close to the situation said. "They have permission to contact him and speak with him. They're pretty much recruiting him, so to speak. They have inquired for his release and it's been granted. He'd have to sit out a year."
Kevin Parrom and Chris Braswell will make an official visit to Xavier University Sept. 12-14.
The 6-foot-6 Parrom, now at South Kent (Conn.), recently took visits to St. John's and UConn and has also been to Rutgers and Xavier unofficially.
Parrom, ranked No. 19 among small forwards in the Class of 2009 by Rivals, had previously said his top five were St. John's, Marquette, Xavier, Rutgers and South Carolina, but now he is also considering UConn, Louisville, Temple, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Providence.
Asked what other visits he may take, Parrom said, "I don't know yet."
The 6-8 Braswell, now at Hargrave Military (Va.), de-committed from Georgetown and holds a slew of offers from UConn, Georgetown, Maryland, Indiana, Pitt, Xavier, Charlotte, Villanova and Virginia. He is ranked No. 22 among power forwards in the Class of 2009.
Dave Telep of Scout also reported that Braswell will visit Maryland Sept. 20, Indiana Sept. 27, Virginia Tech (Oct. 4) and Charlotte (Oct. 11).
I didn't kno Braswell de-committed....
[h2]Harris Adds UConn Back on List
A week after cutting his list to 10 schools and crossing out UConn, 6-foot-8 Long Island Lutheran junior forward Tobias Harris visited the Storrs campus and put the Huskies right back on.[/h2]
"Now, after a visit there, UConn is definitely going to become one of my top schools," Harris told Mike Anthony of the Hartford Courant. "Actually, they are one of my top schools. I think everything they have going on there is great. I liked everything I saw."
He added: "UConn produces NBA players. I've seen a lot of schools. I definitely came away [from UConn] very impressed."
Torrel Harris, Tobias' father, said UConn assistant Andre LaFleur invited them to come back up for another visit after Tobias recently visited for the UConn Elite Camp.
"We went up there and hung out," Torrel said. "It went well. We just thought that we didn't see them this summer and Tobias wasn't too high on their list. The reason we took them off the list is we didn't know they were high on Tobias. When we made the cut they emphasized that Tobias is really, really high on their list and they really like him. They said, 'Why don't you come on down and see the school?'
"Tobias played about seven pickup games with the team. Kemba Walker and Jerome Dyson were on his team, and they won six games straight. And we talked with Coach (Jim) Calhoun. We talked with the academic people. Calhoun just said that he liked Tobias a lot and it's a good situation for him and we're highly interested in him. 'Don't think that we're not. Tobias is a UConn kid and we're very, very interested.'"
Harris previously cut his list of potential schools to 10: Louisville, Syracuse, Rutgers, Georgetown, Virginia, Maryland, Marquette, West Virginia, Wake Forest and USC. Now UConn has vaulted near the top.
"I don't really have a list or anything like that," Tobias told Mike Anthony. "I'm really looking at all programs and schools. But this visit made me realize what a good program UConn is."
Harris is the No. 9 power forward in the Class of 2010 and has numerous scholarship offers. Rutgers has made him a prime target for the Class of 2010.
A year ago, he scored 52 points in one game for Dix Hills (NY) Half Hollow Hills West and scored his 1,000th career point as a sophomore. He recently announced his transfer to Long Island Lutheran.
The reason why I highligted that quote cause that is the SAME exact reason why Kemba went to Uconn, cause Uconn didnt even recruit him at first but that is awhole nother topic, that i'll elaborate on a later date if anybody really wanted to know....

-NYC heads, John Wall should be in the Fall IS8 tournament, but I can't confirm which team he is playing for.
Yo where does this tournament take place? I'm at school in NYC and I'd love to see it.
For some reason, I've been holding on to a thread of hope that somehow David Loubeau could talk Brandon Knight into coming to College StationOriginally Posted by lnMyMind
Brandon Knight ain't going there either...

Basically this is the scoop....Rice HS coaches were putting feelers out for Kemba starting his sophmore year and the ONLY school that was on himsince Day 1 was Cinncinatti, we talkin bout the summer of 06' here. Then St. Johns came along as well but Cinci was the only school at every game, school,practice, whereva he was, Cinci was there as well. Coaches at Cinci offered him the keys basically- 30-35 min a game, whole offense running thruhim......during his junior year at Rice. But Kemba didn't verbal cause "Uconn was his dream school" and he was dead set on waiting for them tocall.Originally Posted by JamesOnNT
Messiah, elaborate on the Kemba situation.

IS8 Basketball -- is located at 108 167th St. Jamaica, Queens just off Merrick Blvd. on 167 St. and 108th Ave. I'm going to try to get dates for it ASAP.

Then he goes to the Arizona Cacuts League after his junior year with Gauchos and dominates the tournament--- he killed Larry Drew earlier in the tournament and Brandon Jennings in the championship, thus that started the Brandon can't play a lick of defense theme....Recap of Chip is here- Cactus League. Next thing you know, Calhoun was at the game recruiting Brandon and then as soon as that game ended started to recruit Kemba. However, everybody wanted him to go to Cinci since they was there from jump, Calhoun sometimes holds his freshman back, and he was goin to play behind A.J. But then Calhoun realizes that Uconn always been his dream school and that Jennings already committed to Zona, promises him the PG position with or without AJ, and Kemba verbals the next month. So basically it took Calhoun exactly 28 days to recruit Kemba to Uconn....
No joke with that one Cincy fan were soo sick when we didn't pull in Kemba. He was a lock to Cincy from my sources and the next thing I know he'spicking UCONN. Second time Calhoun swiped a recruit from Cincy last minute. He took Thabeet from us too. Mick was on Kemba before he even blew up , and had avisit to Cincy that went good and everything.

Hash would not be the player he is now if he went to Cincy. And Kemba knows the deal. Every big time lead guard who's come through Storrshas been successful on the collegiate level and/or given a chance to play at the professional level. Kevin Ollie, Taliek, powder puff, Marcus Williams, AJ,and soon to be Kemba.

I don't know why people thought Boynton was a lock to Duke...
Cause it's Duke
Word? What makes you say that? He still is raw as hell and makes plays because he is a freak athlete. It's not like his skills are very refined Thabeet's biggest asset is his athleticism and size combo. It's not like he's stepping out and hitting 15 foot jumpers or something.
Do you watch college basketball? Do you see the development he's had over the last 2 years? You think that was by coincidence or maybe ithad something to do with Calhoun and his coaching staff and their ability to develop NBA players. Do you understand the help he had from the likes of Okafor,Boone, Hilton, Voskul, etc during the last 2 summers? You think he would have gotten that kind of development and attention at Cincy?
