Are those "schools of interest" for real?

Stanford
Purdue
Virginia
Georgetown
Villanova
NC State
Harvard

Position rank #4, Overall #18? Are these US national rankings?

Wow! Sounds like Jimmy may have gotten a real good one here.

No, I think those rankings are rankings for Canadian recruits.

Still not too shabby for a school like UC-D. What about those schools of interest?

OMG, a sports writer wrote an entire column about Jim Les and not a single moronic mention he was a stockbroker! I did not think that was even possible!

Jim was a stockbroker? Why weren't we ever told about that?

Guess Central California sports writers aren't as big of morons as Central Illinois sportswriters!

Good to see the dust settle/sense of normalcy set in with JL's pursuit of success as a NCAA D-I MBB Head Coach at UC-D. Good article, particularly about JL being able to coach his son.

Would it also be safe to say an OMG, impossible, moment would also be if a relevant D-I University had named a former player/self employed businessman who had never coached, let alone been a head coach, at any NCAA School MBB program, and the local sports writer didn't mention that information in his column...?

Coach Les is on a roll and this morning landed another decent prospect ..

This kid should seem vaguely familiar to Jim Les..
the kid is a Class of 2012, 5-10 point guard who can score and dish out assists - and it reported to be a tough kid who hustles and is getting more and more recruiting attention - so Coach Les is fortunate to have locked the kid up......
...a Sammy M clone..Darius Graham
...and the kid has a 3.94 GPA
