Recruiting/Scouting Notes
Little used Simeon reserve Frederick Scott King performed well enough at Adidas Spring Event that the 6-7 forward landed himself a scholarship at DePaul. The often-traveled lefty could develop into a contributing role-player for the Demons within a few years. One thing big-fella can do is stroke it on the perimeter, he’s now going to have to adjust to the pace of the college game particularly during Big-East play. He’s worth rolling the dice on.
Promising front-courter Joseph St. Pierre a six foot nine stud listed in the deep 2017 class has left Richmond-Burton H.S. for Indiana Prep-School La Lumiere. Now he must focus on getting his weight down, but he is a dandy.
Alton H.S. 2015 grad Bryan Hudson a 6-8 lefty who we reported on all season who drew a flock of major league baseball scouts and executives to his high-school basketball game recently signed with the Chicago Cubs for a reported $1.1 million bonus. He was a third round draft pick, this kid was a talent in hoops, once considered walking-on at Missouri where he was slated to attend prior to the draft. Hudson throws in the high 90’s, we just might see him in the majors within 2 years. More under-achieving hoopers need to go this route.
Northwestern locked-up two of the top 3 players in the 2016 class when Hinsdale South post-man Barret Bensen gave a verbal last week. Earlier the no. 1 player Rapolas Ivanaukas of Barrington gave a verbal in April. This hasn’t happened in recent memory of the Wildcat program. In May they received a commitment from stand-out 2016 guard Isaiah Brown, the Seattle native plays at Lake-Side High. NU beat out Washington, Oregon State, Washington State and St. Mary’s.
