Here are some general recruiting notes and updates.
Clemson is in the process of seriously upgrading their talent, and one key
part of that is Cheyenne Moore. At 6-6, Moore has a 7-1 wingspan, and is
building a rep as an incredible dunker.
As expected, Jim Nystrom has left Georgia Tech and will likely play professionally
in Sweden. This will open a scholarship Tech would like to use for Randolph
Morris.
Looks like UNC and Alabama are co-leaders
for Richard Hendrix.
The hits keep coming for Billy Donovan, who just lost Ryan Appleby and Rashid
Al-Kaleem, both of whom are transferring. Appleby
is going to the University of Washington. He may also lose Anthony
Roberson, who is considering the NBA despite not being projected as a high
pick. Florida has one scholarship to give, but has to get an exception to
the 5/8 rule, and that can't be gained until the final grades for Appelby and
Al-Kaleem are in. This after Christian Drejer bailed in mid-season.
One logical target might be PG Denis Clemente, a Puerto Rican native playing
in Miami, but Arkansas
appears to have made great inroads there.
This is off-beat, but if you're recruiting, wouldn't
you like to introduce yourself as Coach Champion?
