Use this thread for any recruiting news- last thread was getting old

For those who may have missed it, tape of the Schenectady-LaSalle game Tuesday night on one of the local stations showed Fran in the stands, presumably because of potential interest in Schenectady PG Derek Millinghaus.

He's the ONLY kid in the area that could possibly play for Siena.

how is Ritter?

A local hs coach told me Ritter will most likely go D2

Fran was at CBA-Schenectday game last night with Mitch (or Mitch look alike). Hopefully scouting the kids from Schenectady.

Also, Fairfield does not have anys ships left and may ahve an issue if Nero comes back.

How big is cancer and what position does he play?

He's a really solid defender. He's quick and likes to drive to the hoop, dosen't shoot from outside much though. Defense is really his game.

Siena offered this kid in the last week or so:


Calvin Newell (2010, 6-1 PG/SG)
Calvin put on a show against Winchendon, in what was probably the top performance of the National Prep Showcase. He dropped 37 points, had 4 steals and handed out 5 assists while only turning the ball over once. He was even good from the free throw line where he hit 6 of his 7 attempts. Calvin scored taking the ball to the hoop, stopping and popping for a mid range jumper and also on a put back after grabbing an offensive rebound. Where he really did his damage though was from behind the 3 point line. Calvin hit 5 of his 9 attempts and these were not easy shots. He usually had a hand in his face or he shot from very deep. One of these makes he fired up from 5 or 6 feet beyond the arc to beat the shot clock.

At 1 point later in the second half Calvin just started to take over the entire game. He played physical D on Anthony Ireland who was trying to bring the ball up the court, but Calvin picked his pocket on more than 1 occasion which resulted in a couple of open layups and a two handed slam. This really frustrated Ireland and really just took him out of his game. Calvin pretty much put his team on his back and almost carried them to a victory but Evelyn Mack Academy just came up a bit short. In this 1 game performance Calvin looked like the best player at the showcase and that is saying something with the amazing amount of talent that was at this event.

This offer sounds like they really like the 2 freshman guards they bought in! lol At least they're admitting they missed, and are trying to correct the problem. Uh-on the die-hards are going to attack me for "not knowing what i'm talking about!" :)
