6’3, 165lbs from United Faith Christian Academy in Charlotte, NC. Seems that we are really targeting UFCA in Charlotte. Ton of talent coming out of their program. Hopefully we get some ties in there soon.

will play at Charlotte Christian next year. Has attended some of our games in the past.
Rivals blurb
Patrick Rooks, SG, Charlotte Christian- He comes off the bench, but the sophomore shooting guard is very important to his team. The 6-foot-2 wing has an outstanding stroke from deep, a good first step and has the look of a guy who could really develop over the next couple of years.
I’m sure metro will love this guy.
lol that took me a minute
damn it, you beat me to it.
We have given Rooks his first offer.
We offered this kid? My son played with him in middle school at Carmel. He was light years ahead of everyone then but the not any more IMO. He’s a nice player but not so sure he’s the caliber we’re looking for. My son’s team played Christian this year and I wasn’t wowed at all. Interesting… ???
Wake, Clemson and Tennessee are recruiting him as well, he thinks Clemson is close to offering.
Interesting for a guy that plays 10 minutes a game to get that kind of attention. I must be missing something.

per scout
[font=Arial]Patrick Rooks, SG – Drawing the praise from all onlookers, Rooks was one of the big performers of the event. A 6-foot-3, 170-pound guard, Rooks was fifth in scoring at the Challenge, scoring 18.7 points per game. His best outing was a 26-point effort, where he buried three after three. He gets terrific elevation, has good rotation on his ball and shoots a high arcing shot. He was one of the top shooters in attendance.[/font]

[font=Verdana]“My dad told me he had big news for me,” Rooks toldTigerillustrated.com Thursday afternoon. “He came by the high school and I didn’t know if it was good news or bad news. He said Clemson offered and I got the offer I always wanted. I was in shock.”
[/font]
[font=Verdana]Who leads now? And when will he make a decision?[/font][font=Verdana] "Clemson, Xavier, Charlotte and North Carolina," Rooks listed in order. "Right now I'd say that I'll probably decide sometime in the late summer months or next year."[/font]
the kid has a hard-on for the Tigers… it’s done, he’s gone.

“I’m young, and my options are open. I’m not in a big rush. I have all this summer. Then, [b]at the beginning of next year[/b], I will be committing somewhere.”
Looks to be ACC bound, unless we start 14-0.
