Class of '66 Old Fart Posted July 14, 2023 Author Posted July 14, 2023 Queen continued his strong play with Team Thrill today at the Sportsradar Showdown. This event is taking place at multiple locations in the Las Vegas area and our staff is on the ground watching various targets. Quote
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted July 15, 2023 Author Posted July 15, 2023 Bossi at the Sportsradar event in Vegas. During last week’s UA Next Finals, Derik Queen of Team Thrill and Montverde (Fla.) Academy was the most dominant player we saw. During a pair of Friday wins, Queen was once again getting things done in a big way on the offensive end. In a pair of wins over very good Mass Rivals and Southern Assault, the 6-foot-9 five-star who ranks No. 6 overall in the class of 2024 put in 48 points and grabbed 26 rebounds while converting on nearly 60% of his shots from the field. He didn’t overwhelm anybody with leaping ability or freakish quickness, but this kid sure knows how to get position, hold it and score with a high degree of skill in the low post. Going in his favor along with his overall skill level are that he’s really nimble on his feet and has a tremendous pair of hands. Queen -- who has so far taken official visits to Indiana and Maryland -- has also done much less settling for jumpers and much more going towards the hoop and the results have been tough to argue with.

WayneFleekHoosier Posted July 28, 2023 Posted July 28, 2023 Such a gigantic recruiting weekend! Wow, fingers crossed on that one. Because if we miss, it falls way off for our front court options. We seem to be in or near the leader seat, hope we can close. Huge! ALASKA HOOSIER and thebigweave 2 Quote

Usually put zero stock in that stuff. But in this case 2 kids who’ve both talked about being boys are making a mutual 2nd visit after playing a full meaningful season together at the highest level. That feels more connected than most. We’ll see. lillurk, Redcamaro and ALASKA HOOSIER 3 Quote

I don't know if they're making a second visit to any other schools. This is an important point because going forward, recruits will be able to take only one OV to a particular school. They can take an unlimited number of OV's, but only one per school. The unlimited visits will certainly temper the euphoria of getting a target on campus for an OV when he could already have taken 10 OV's or have 10 more already planned.
