Here are some of the individual players he mentions - maybe we can get some reports on them if anyone goes to the Richwoods Shootout
(it is being held at Woodruff High School Gym due to renovations at Richwoods, and starts at 9AM Sat & Sun.)



Springfield Lanphier: Larry Austin, Jr.

Peoria Notre Dame: Shea Feehan (injured), Peter Hanley, and he mentions Alex O'Neill - who may still play for Notre Dame in summer play but I have heard that O'Neill has transferred out of Notre Dame. That doesn't mean he still couldn't re-enroll or be back in the fall.

Manual: Delano Jones, Anton Ivy, Devonte Keaton, Marcus Sierra

Limestone: Terence Shelby

Richwoods: Ashton Bean (transfer from Central), Kalean Johnson (injured)

Quest Charter Academy - they have freshmen & sophomores on their team...
The names of their players include:
Antonio Ford (son of Bradley's Bobby Ford), Theo Thomas. Deaunte Thomas, Kenzo Irby, Sedrick Morris, Josh Cannon, Donte Wright, Jamir Jackson, Mike Powell, Antwan Flowers, Mace Williams, Bobby Burch, Jaren Jackson-Coates, Jordan Hughes, Ryan Murray

saw several teams this morning at the Richwoods Shootout..
..lots of the teams playing are lacking size...Richwoods, Central, Manual, EP, all look to have kids from 5-9 to maybe 5-11 but not much taller...
PND had a couple big kids and Dunlap has Sorenson but our whole area this season will have short teams..

So Jones and Ivy are not 6-4 and 6-6 respectively like Dave mentioned in his article?.... Or did they not play for Manual?

I noticed that he mentioned Frank Williams' kid will be at Manual next year. Is he good enough to be on the Varsity squad next year?

I would say yes if he is playing with them this summer and he is playing this weekend with them at the Richwoods shootout.

Speaking of summer- most of the Bradley players are arriving on campus for the first summer session-

4 being the number of players expected? So they are not counting Xzavier or Stefan?

The 4 expected TODAY arrived..........

[tornado]

OK - you got me lefty - maybe the Michael Tucker thing has some people bummed out......so now we're down to celebrating the fact that the ones EXPECTED to show up actually did??

[lefty]

Who's celebrating? Jaden tweeted 4 players arrived.....that's all.

Not really sure what your problem is with this picture. It has been posted either on here or PJStar that SZ is in his home Country trying out for his National team and XT doesn't even graduate from HS until this SAT. Why do you have to insinuate problems where none appear to be?? Just wondering.

I would say yes if he is playing with them this summer and he is playing this weekend with them at the Richwoods shootout.

I'm really curious about Frank's son. How big is he? Is he a point? Do you think he'll play a lot as a Freshman at Manuel? What's his first name?

Sorry don't know the any details about him but if he is with them this summer,I'd say it's a good chance he'll get minutes this winter. If I hear some more I'll pass it on.
