Now if Whittenburg could coach as well as he recruits! :rolleyes:

St. Joe’s gets first commit for 2010-11 in 6-6 wing Daryus Quarles who chose the Hawks over ACC and Big East suitors.

NB, thanks! Too bad for X, though Mack was the choice of the returning players to replace Miller. Hmmm…

Flyers get a verbal from 6-6 SF Ralph Hill out of Westerville (OH) North H.S. According to the Dayton Daily News, he chose UD over Akron and Butler and made his choice despite recent interest from the likes of Georgia Tech and Notre Dame.

Muskies lose out on another PF though when Boston U.'s Jake O’Brien - 2009 American East Rookie of the Year - decided not to transfer after taking a visits to X and St. Joe’s. Apparently Mack & Co. were really pushing him to make the move to Cincy.

We should thank NCCU and CSU for farming our upcoming talent! :lmao:

Should we? It’s not like these guys are coming from UCLA and Kansas. Sorry, I’ve become a bit jaded over the years when it comes to getting excited about Charlotte recruits.

Briscoe is the real deal, Carter is a good add too and could be even better here. Both will benefit from not being the crutch of struggling teams.

Briscoe could start for UCLA or Kansas right now! Its not where you at its what you do where you at. Jack McClinton,much like Briscoe a Baltimore gaurd who transfered from lowly Siena who was 6 and 26 his freshman year there and is now a possible 1st round NBA draft pick. If you can play you can play and Briscoe can play with anybody.

ACC MORNING AFTER (GOOGLE AND YOU’LL FIND THIS ARTICLE)

Briscoe makes his mark: N.C. Central landed a gem when it signed 5-10 freshman guard Jamar Briscoe, a deadly shooter with daredevil verve.
"He’s a heck of a player,’’ said N.C. State coach Sidney Lowe, who watched Briscoe score 28 points and dish out five assists Tuesday night.
Briscoe, averaging a team-leading 16.2 points in the first 24 games, has many admirers. Duquesne fans gave him a standing ovation after he scored 34 against their team.
Give former Central star and Raleigh native LeVelle Moton an assist. Briscoe, from Baltimore, said Moton is mainly responsible for his becoming an Eagle.

i saw that jay canty from ragsdale will be visiting xavier.

Utter has said Carter is not coming here.

i heard him say that on the shoutbox. im still not completly confident he is right. where is the kid going to go then?

not here.

Anyway, St. Joseph’s has a commitment from C.J. Aiken

The #4 center and 42nd overall player by Rivals for 2010.
