Recruiting Updates, Etc.

Matt Rafferty    6’7”    SF    MM-LM+    Hinsdale Central/Lock-Down
After a solid spring/summer, his recruiting seemed to dwindle a tad.  Things seem to be on an upward swing.  He visited Brown University this weekend, Sep. 26-28.  Brown / Dartmouth / Loyola-Chicago / UIC / Toledo / Northern Illinois

Harrison Niego    6’1”    PG    MM-LM+    Lyon’s/Chicago Lock-Down
“This kid grew on me throughout the summer.”  UIC / Yale / Cornel / Dartmouth

Connor Cashaw    6’4”    WG    MM    Stevenson/Mac Irvin Fire
“Some serious questions have recently arrived about his passion to play; maybe this was one of the reasons he settled for being Brunson’s side-kick?  Easy out!  Tommy and Harvard look destined for landing!  Harvard / Rice / LaSalle / Loyola-Chicago / LeHigh

Gavin Block    6’4”    WG    MM    Lincoln (IL)/Net Gain
Why wouldn’t Northern Illinois show him more love, especially when they need a shooter?  Gavin brings a winning formula.  LaSalle / UIC / Elon / Visiting Northern Iowa in Oct. 4th

Isaiah Moss    6’5”    G/F    MM+-MM    Chicago Simeon/Mac Irvin Fire
“He and his circle of trust are having a good ole time enjoying the fruits of recruiting.  DePaul / Rhode Island / LaSalle / Iowa / S. Louis.  Academic woes could lay ahead!”

Joshua Stamps    6’5”    WG    MM+    Chicago Curie/Team Rose
“He likely has the biggest upside of anyone in the class & his recruitment will pick-up steam well into the season.  He will be a late signee.  You can bet the DePaul Blue Demons will be in the mix.”

Tyler Seibring    6’7”    F    MM    Normal Community/Net Gain
“A gamer when the lights are on, he comes to the stage ready; very productive player; he’s recruiting seems odd, we hear he really likes Elon a lot; Ohio U. / Bucknell / Brown / Colgate.  He could be a steal!

Evan Boudreaux    6’7”    SF    MM    Lake Forest/NLP
“Questions continue to surface regarding his love for the game.”  Boston College / Iowa / Cornel still in the hunt.

Christian Williams    6’5”    WG    MM+-MM    Decatur St. Teresa/Illinois Irish
Announced in August he was enrolling in Lanphier H.S. in which he did for a short period, then oddly returned to St. Teresa where he is petitioning now for his eligibility this season.  Rumors swirling that his club coach has been calling around to certain schools, hoping coaches will fall for the shenanigans of bringing him on an official visit.  Stay tuned in on him . . .

Karl Harris    6’4”    WG    MM    De LaSalle/Illinois Stars
Unappreciated at times, club team situation didn’t do him any justice; he’s picking up steam now.  LaSalle / SIU-E / Northern Kentucky / St. Francis (PA) / Western Illinois
