Manual's junior Andrew Jordan had also previously gotten some mention...

Andrew Jordan is a junior right?

[tornado]

correct...and I had the correction made in the statement

Okay. Cool was wondering why interest wasn't higher if he was a 2010 recruit.

I saw Manual's games in the state tournament, and Stokes looked very good. He's the best ball handler on the team, and is very quick. That website lists him as 6', but he's not nearly that tall. He'll probably grow a little, but looked like a definite D1 prospect to me.

Jeff Stokes has taken unofficial visits to Illinois and Iowa and Andrew Jordan took an official visit to Xavier in December.

I don't know if Bradley has any interest in either player but Andrew Jordan would be an intriguing player. He's got the athleticism and size to play the 3 at the college level, but he is very inconsistent. He plays well on the AAU circuit which gets him interest from the high majors, but he needs to show that he can consistently knock down the 15 foot jump shot before I'd like to see Bradley offer. He is friends with Donivine so I would not be surprised if he has interest in going to Bradley.

As far as Jeff goes he's got some work to do on his jump shot but he's very quick, has good ball handling skills, and good court vision. He isn't as polished as Antonio Drummond but he's worth keeping an eye on. Landis Farmer is also someone to watch since he is a better ballhandler and shooter than Jeff but he's a bit undersized. He's taken an unofficial visit to Ohio State.

I would have to say Jordan must be at least somewhat a player if he took an official visit to Xavier...

I do believe they can recognize talent...

Jeff adds another scholarship offer:

How much interest does Bradley have in Stokes? It will be interesting to see if they extend an offer to him.

Jeff really got my attention last night vs Central....Ive seen him play many times, but he's really starting to put it together. Hes a great ball-handler, is as quick as they come, very good athleticism, and a great defender. Nice mid range jumper, 3 point shot needs some work, but his jumpshot mechanics are very solid, and I can see him improving on the long range shot over the next year and a half. He might get to "big" for Bradley, but we need to be all over this guy in my opinion.
