10/18/08 recruit vists (per rivals.com)

We have some great kids in for the weekend…here is what Rivals says about it.

"The Charlotte, N.C. area is one of the budding hot beds for talent and the 49ers have done a great job of trying to circle the wagons around the Queen City prospects.

Class of 2010 guards Daryl Traynham, who played at Vance last season, and Ian Miller, a Rivals150 prospect from United Faith, will be on campus. Class of 2011 guards Jacoby Davis and Marquis Rankin, both from Vance, are also expected on campus.

Hassan Whiteside, a sleeper center from Charlotte who is now at the Patterson School, could make a return trip to the Atlantic 10 school. Canadian guard Jason Calliste from Quality Education in Winston-Salem is high on the recruiting board fro Charlotte and he’s scheduled for a visit. "

Wow, all of these guys are here this weekend?

This very well could be a historical weekend in 49er history if a couple of these guys sign down the road and go on to great college basketball careers.

Jason Calliste is ranked 86 (4 stars)…

Ian Miller is the one we need here though.

Edit: Miller is 2010.

We’ll have either 3 or 4 scholarships for 2010. Phil Jones could get his year back. Originally it was looking like 4 or 5 to fill but with Gerrity leaving, it allows us to space it out a little more getting 3 for next year (Sherrill, Braswell, Whiteside or Lamont Jones).

Seniors 09: Ian Andersen (SG), Phil Jones ('C), Dijuan Harris (PG), Rashad Coleman (SG)

That’s 5 guys from Charlotte (3 played at Vance) and 1 Canadian who plays at Mt. Zion in Durham. Hopefully we can lock a few up in the future or now (depending on class). 3 Good PGs in there too, Rankin already has some big names on his list including Florida & Wake, with us showing interest. Might have to catch a Vance game or two in the future with some Niner gear to let them know we want them to stay home :).
