With 2 offers out to Compton Magic teammates, Raby reported that Clark and Adams both have been close to the founder of the Compton program as well as the current coaches so this wasn't just throw a couple of offers out just to say we did.  We have real connections to this program.

Transferring to Prolific Prep for next year.

Wonder if this has any effect for our recruiting efforts?

Bit of follow-up from Raby.  The re-class was not any surprise in the world of recruiting.  Arizona the presumed leader.  KJ did visit Prolific Prep earlier and we have the connection via Branch's AAU team Compton Magic.  Having said that, still probably a pretty long shot that he would land at IU if we make a hard run and unknown at this time if we even make a hard run.

Gonna be Arizona.
