Shang Ping

[tornado]

thank chj
but a lot will depend on how Ping does this summer and next fall.
He was classified as only a freshman, but next year as a soph playing in Division II junior college, he is going to have to be dominant if he expects to get those offers.
14 points, 4.5 rebs, and terrible shooting from 3-pt and FT just isn't going to impress the scouts.

By the way, I am anxious to catch some of the play down at the RiverPlex this summer and see which of the incoming BU kids comes to play, and we should be able to see Ping playing as well.

A report from last summer said Ping had supposedly already gotten a "scholarship offer" from Wisconsin.

A story in the Madison, WI Capital Times states that Wisconsin has NOT offered a scholarship to Shang Ping.
It says that Wisconsin is "tracking" Ping and that's all.

An event that might impact on the future of Shang Ping just occurred yesterday.
Ping was frequently listed as one of the two ro three targets that Wisconsin was watching to sign a power forward prospect for 2007-2008.

Yesterday, they signed Keaton Nankivil
a highly rated power forward out of Madison.
They appear now to be pretty well set at this position, and I wonder if they perhaps no longer have interest in Shang Ping.

By the way, ther Badgers also started practice earlier this month in preparation for a 10-day preseason trip to Italy.
They are already in Rome preparing for the games
They will play five games:

are we recruiting ping???

[Da Coach]

I don't know if Bradley is recruiting him. The recruiting sites list Illinois, Wisconsin, and DePaul. But I doubt Wisconsin and Illinois will offer.

I would like to see him at Bradley.

i.m going up to watch ping,deaaron, and lee play this year at icc. have heard many diverse opinions on ping. never seen him play.

Ping is good enough to play somewhere at D-I, and his size
(at least 6-7, maybe 6-8, but doubt 6-9, as I have seen him and I don't think he is really any taller than Nicholson) will get him some offers.

A lot depends on his play this year, and he has to graduate from ICC as that's the only way he'd be eligible at D-I.
