Class of '66 Old Fart

2023 General Recruiting Thread (BBall)

Recommended Posts

Rob Cassidy on Xavier Booker from the Pangos camp --  

What he did at Pangos: This was my first viewing of Booker, but our Jamie Shaw has long been high on the 2023 prospect. Now I see why. A long, left-handed slasher Booker got buckets in a number of ways this week and showed himself to be a solid rebounder. He’ll need to become a more consistent shooter, but his strength, quickness and ability to finish at the rack are undeniable.

Where he might land: Booker holds offers from Kansas State, LSU, TCU and others. He’ll likely see his offer list grow significantly in the month ahead.

If you weren't already aware, as of midnight last night coaches could start making direct contact with the '23 class.

Jalen Hooks among those we've already contacted.  Also Maki Johnson, Kaleb Glenn, JaQualon (J.Q.) Roberts (Bloomington North HS) and Xavier Booker.  Probably some others as well that just haven't been made public yet.

Trent Markwith of Relentless Hoops indicates we have an assistant coach watching Wheeler HS vs. Huntsville Lee this morning which I'm assuming continues our interest in Isaiah Collier a PG at Wheeler whose name first surfaced in April.  Wheeler is participating in the Georgia Basketball Coaches Association (GBCA) Live Team Camp.  This is a 2-weekend event with over 30 teams playing in Wheeler's division.  Over 150 different schools in all are participating so this is a pretty big event.

Sounds like we're clearly interested in Collier.

Trent Markwith of Relentless Hoops indicates we're one of many schools watching Wheeler (GA) vs. Rockledge (FL).
