Figured you knew the name. I know it’s early, but starting to get a little antsy with all the verbals being made to our fellow A-10 schools for the 2011 class, with Dayton having completed recruiting and Xavier with just one more spot to fill.[/quote]
I’m getting antsy too. We just finished out “Select” camp. NinerReport will have a breakdown of that soon. Glad to see that we are Thorne’s favorite and we made the “cut” on Nickerson.
More on Pointer’s play in the Nike Global Challenge…
[b]USA Midwest 78, INSEP France 59[/b]
Leading the Midwest in scoring was high energy forward Dominique Pointer who scored 16 points on 50 percent shooting , grabbed 10 rebounds, came up with seven steals and dished out four assists.
Recruiting News
Dominique Pointer has had a stellar summer. West Virginia, Detroit, Ohio State, Tennessee and Miami have offered. DePaul is also a school of interest. Pointer plans on waiting until the spring and hasn’t scheduled any visits.
Considering he has 3 teammates on his Midwest team who are Rivals Top 150 for 2011 (#6 Bradley Beal, #49 Jahii Carson, and #102 Carlton Brundidge), he’s doing what he needs to get noticed!
Saw the name Chad Frazier in today’s Big O. Says the 6-3 SG is transferring from Metrolina Christian to First Assembly in Concord for his senior season. Averaged 25 ppg as a junior last year and being recruited primarily by mid-majors (CofC, Elon, G-W, Winthrop, and Wofford), though Richmond is mentioned as well.
I see several guys we are recruiting commit to other schools. I though that we would at least have one commitment by this time. I hate seeing the list grow smaller with each commitment to another school. We have been down this road so many times in the past several years.
moss, know anything about Alonzo Nelson-Ododa (also listed as just Alonzo Nelson on some sites)? He’s 6-8 PF who transferred from Barrow H.S. (Winder, GA) to Norcross, where he’ll team up with Niner target E. Victor Nickerson. We’re listed on his Rivals profile as a “College Choice” along with UGA, GT, and VCU. Has offers from Richmond (visited this past weekend) and Wichita State.

We were mentioned with him not long after Major & Co. got to work. He played on the GA Stars, which included Nickerson. I have not heard us mentioned with him lately.

When is early signing period? I know we have two commitments and are waiting on Nickerson and Parker I think, but I thought we had 5 open spots for next year? Do we expect both Nickerson and Parker to announce before early signing period?
Nickerson is going to decide in Oct/Nov. We aren’t in Parker’s list anymore, you man mean Carter. Carter is looking to sign this Fall, but I have a feeling that could change (hope I’m wrong).
I saw that Nickerson would decide on his birthday. 10/27/10.[/quote]Sorry NN, meant to say Fall. Updated it. If big players keep getting involved, he may wait to see what other offers are out there.
Lewis says we are not his leader and is leaning toward NCSU.
Leek committed to WKU.
We are off Parker’s list.
Dawson is off the list.
Drye committed to Tulane.
This is crunch time for the staff…we need some good news soon to keep the ship moving in the right direction. Early signing period is a month away…not a lot of time.
