Seriously Creighton with Sellers has to be one of the most active programs recruiting-wise in the country! I see an big impact class coming for 2015.

Xavier and Butler are both going after 2015 PG James Bolden from Northern Kentucky pretty hard and it may come down to those 2 schools for him. X has the advantage of being closer but Butler seems to be recruiting him a bit more diligently and he has built some great relationships with Miller and a couple of the assistants.

He could end up being a very good player and is the kind of under the radar kid that X and Butler have made a living off of. A little undersized and a little bit of a late bloomer so he doesn't have UK/Louisville type offers, but a hard worker with a lot of speed and scoring ability who could end up being a good 4 year college player.

I'm interested to see where this recruitment ends up going. I don't think Xavier staff is extremely high on him due to his performance against bigger guards on the AAU circuit but with him being local though we have still kept heavily in touch. Looking at future rosters at the moment (obviously this is college basketball so those can be very fluid, especially for 2015) Butler has a huge need at point guard (hell, they have a pretty big need right now). Xavier also has a few other priority smaller type PG's they seem to be prioritizing as well (ie Justin Jenifer).

Heard that the whole Providence coaching staff was in ny yesterday for that HS tournament, Alford came all the way from UCLA, but Lavin and staff were no where to be seen.
Briscoe mention two local schools were after him hard: Rutgers and SHU but nothing on SJU.

Guess no one has to worry about SJU, because we`re going into the shit hole with Lavin.

The guy needs the boot
