[Daniel Poneman]

Hahaha, well it wouldnt look nice in the article if i said his dad was a "scrub" for Bradley...
I am very excited about this recruiting class, i consider it to be a top 25 class nationally... i think Sammy can be an instant impact player...

Seriously.....I suggested SM might want to consider R/S to increase his playing time for his BU tenure. Instant impact....wow.

I do not think everyone has realized how good SM really is......he will play this year....and sometimes TCS will play the 2!

One mor eupdate on Iman Shumpert....and although he still lists Bradley as one of his choices, he is blowing up so huge already in the AAU season, that BU's chances are slim.

Last night at the Akron Ohio King James Classic, Shumpert blew away all the scouts in attendance, leading his team to TWO big wins, one with a 28 point performance.


Here are a few of the words of praise on Shumpert:

"Every spring one player puts on a show and raises his game to a new level. After his performance Friday night, Oak Park (Ill.) River Forest's Iman Shumpert may be that guy this year"

"Shumpert put on a display worthy of a top 50 player in a pair of games on Friday night."

"The 6-foot-4 combo guard was outstanding on this night. Rarely in the high school season does Shumpert handle the ball as much as he does in this setting, and he looks like an accomplished point guard. His athleticism is outstanding, as he has excellent hops and moves well laterally. He has a nice stroke and solid form on his jumper, but the most surprising part of his game was the court vision he showed."

Shumpert On The Rise
Iman Shumpert, SG/PG, Full Package ???‚¬??? Somebody has to hand over a spot on our current Top 100 because Shumpert belongs on the list. A true combo, Shumpert scored 19 in the first half against the Stars; he finished with 22 and played through foul trouble. The guy can handle it, pass from the wing - including angular entries - and has no trouble scoring the rock. Maybe the definition of a late bloomer so don???‚¬?„?t be surprised when he rockets past bigger, more established names"

"Shumpert has been to Wisconsin, Illinois, Northwestern and Bradley. Shumpert, who has a huge list, has been told that he???‚¬?„?s ???‚¬?“the guy???‚¬?? for Illinois, Bradley, Marquette, Northwestern, Clemson, Georgia Tech and Tennessee

Thanks for your input Daniel. I dont follow high school hoops very much so I don't know too much about Sam. I was wondering about a red shirt for Sam myself.
Really good to hear this.
