[ballin245]

I saw this on scout that we are recruitting a power forward out of morgan park named Isiah Martin.

just wondering if anybody knows stuff about him.

Actually, Isaiah Martin has been recruited by Jim Les for the last couple years. Here was a thread from September, 2005 where his name was mentioned, and I had heard about Jim Les recruiting him as far back as the summer of 2005--

Here is what else I have heard about him--
He did not develop as much as a lot of recruiters expected. He was a 3-star recruit as a soph, but dropped to a 2-star as a junior. His recruiting has suffered because he is offensively challenged and has never developed much of a shot, and has had some academic issues. The Scout article says he is visiting Evansville this weekend, and is also being recruited by Illinois State. He sounds like he would be a good fit for those 2 schools. Bradley is still listed by Scout as having offered a scholarship, but I think Bradley backed off after signing Egolf and Thompson.

If the kid's choices can be summed up as "Evansville and Illinois State", then Jim Les must not be recruiting the kid any more.
