    Shang Ping

    Dave Reynolds has an article in the Peoria Journal Star today (7/15) about Shang Ping, the Chinese kid playing this season on the ICC basketball team. It's a good report with new info on how the kid ended up in Peoria and on ICC. It sounds like Bradley is very interested, though now he is being tracked by a lot of bigs.

    I am interested in why Dave does not refer to him as Eric Shang Ping? The previous Peoria Journal Star mention of him was back in May when they listed ICC recruits and he was referred to as Eric Shang Ping. Other reports have always used the first name Eric, also. Also, who is responsible for the pun in the headline? Whoever it is should be ashamed.

    Dave also has a report on this year's River City Hoops Festival at Central high school this weekend.

    The "Eric" might have been a nickname, since he's from China, and I suspect his parents wouldn't have picked an American first-name.

      Dave mentions a kid that Bradley has been hotly recruiting--
      "Chicago Phillips senior-to-be Osiris Eldridge was an all-star selection at the adidas Superstar Camp at Suwanee, Ga., last week. The 6-3 Eldridge has been hotly pursued by Bradley...."

      Osiris Eldridge of Phillips High School- HighSchoolElite.com profile
      From PJ Star sports expert Kirk Wessler in his Jan. 10, 2012 column following 8th loss in a row at Drake-
      "Yes, the Braves are better than they were when the season started two months ago. By a light year or two, they??™re better."

      And from the PJ Star 4/26/12, Dave Reynolds-
      "Fields and Grier both appear to be difference makers. If Bradley continues to add the right players around them, happy days may be ahead for the Braves after a long dry spell."

        I'm not sure the pun was intended. If you had not mentioned it, I would not have got it. Or maybe that just says something about me.

        Anyway, nice article about the young man. As I stated previously, BU should go after this kid.

          Usually the writer doesn't do the headline, so don't blame the writer. Also- it seemed like a mini-shot at BU, like they dropped the ball on him.

          We will see how things pan out. He is already 20, so he would be a mature junior at a D-I school in 2 years if he stays at ICC.
          ???We all want Bradley to win. If our methods and visions for that are different, then so be it. Don't ever attempt to tell me I am not a fan!???

            Just looked at the paper. The print version is much more obvious.

              According to a source of mine (who's never been wrong yet, and given me insight on Ray Brown's signing, Al's departure, CB's hiring, etc), BU has dropped the ball with this kid. I guess they had the inside track, but since he didn't play too much in the prep school tournament, they essentially turned their back. Not entirely their fault, but nonetheless. Now it may be too late to get back in the running, as the big schools are all calling. Let's hope JL & Co. can take advantage of their close proximity and get back in the running for this guy. He sounds like a good one.
              Onward and Upward!

                Again, kudos to Dave Reynolds for some nice reporting. This is the kind of stuff many of us would have no way of knowing if the news reporter didn't get the story and do the interview. This is the exact stuff I like and hope Dave keeps it coming in future articles.

                I culled a few other comments that had been posted about Shang Ping, and reposted them here.

                It was close much of the way, but the ICC kids played very well and won. ICC's weak suit seems to be outside shooting, but they are strong inside with Shang-Ping, Eeten, & Nicholson.
                Terrence Smith from Central is a very athletic wing, and Wires & Dillard are fine PG's, but nobody to hit from outside.

                Dave Reynolds was there from about 8PM on to interview several of the ICC guys and some of the BU guys later.

                Look for a writeup about Eric Shang Ping by Reynolds, as he spent a lot of time talking with him and then followed up talking to Tony Wysinger about Shang Ping and other things.

                Eric played this past weekend in Indianapolis at the Juco/prep Challenge, and apparently really impressed people.
                There is a writeup on the premium part of Chicagohoops.com.
                It's titled:
                "6-10 Shang Ping Makes A Very Nice Showing At JC/Prep All-America Challenge In Indianapolis"

                Zane Beekman, Nathan Koster, & Rodney Edgerson all participated in this event two years ago and all are playing D-I now.
                Last year Raun Singleton, Brandon Pruitt, and Kevin Riley
                from ICC participated.

                Yes you did, Mike, and I think we had a talk about the kid's D-I potential. He is very mobile around the basket, can use both hands, but is also able to pop out and shoot a jump shot from 15 feet using his left hand. Coach Tony Wysinger made mention of the kid's D-I potential as far back as the intitial press release about him:

                  Raun Singleton who was one of the top scorers for last year's ICC team did end up at 4-year Monmouth College.
                  He scored 5 pts in their first game against Central the Missouri State Mules (Mike Suggs' school last year)
                  Monmouth lost 90-61, as other local PJStar area players Blaise Rogers (8 pts), and Tucker Blaser (7 pts) also contributed

                    Shang Ping finally had a very good game Saturday as ICC won 64-59 over St. Louis Meramac. Shang Ping had 21 points.

                      ICC finally gets to play at home, going the whole month of November playing on the road and going 3-4.
                      They host Kouri's Pepsi Challenge, Dec. 2-3 which will include ICC, Kirkwood (who ICC has already lost to 60-39), Lakeland, IVCC, and Spoon River.
                      There will be some familiar faces, as
                      Spoon River has Matt Koster of Lewistown, Wesley Ware of Bloomington HS, and Tyler Schrick of Illini Central.
                      Lakeland has Erik Young from Lincoln
                      IVCC has Mike Tyus of Kewanee

                        I was just wondering
                        What ever happened to Eric Shang Ping
                        There was so much talk last summer and fall, now there is none?
                        Is anyone still recruting him?

                          I have to admit, I am puzzled also.
                          I really can't find Shang Ping listed in the databases of Jucojunction or Rivals. Scout does have Ping listed but only as a ONE STAR, and almost no mention of anything about him since last summer. I think Ping was way overhyped a year ago, and against less than top competition, he just didn't impress as much as some of the scouts thought he would.
                          There is no internet site in the universe that has better coverage and info on Ping than this site, BradleyFans.com. In fact, the reports here in June of 2005 were the only reports on him anywhere for nearly a month.
                          Just review what was said, and how he ended up performing.

                            what were Ping's stats this year??

                            does anyone know of any of the other schools recruiting this kid??

                              He is said to be getting recruiting interest from Wisconsin, Illinois, and DePaul.
                              A report from last summer said Ping had supposedly already gotten a "scholarship offer" from Wisconsin.
                              I personally doubt that as the kid had never played even one high school, or junior college game at that point.

                              Here are the stats for Ping:
