Brooks is another whose initial commitment – to USC – was rescinded in the wake of the college hoops corruption scandal. Since opening things up, he’s been on campus at nearby Washington and this weekend he’ll take an official visit to California. For now, this one is wide open and he’s another who we’ll learn much more about throughout the spring.

Johnnies has offered.

Active, mobile big, looks to be plenty capable:

Would be a huge get. With Keita, Roberts and possibly Brooks we would add a ton of much needed depth in the front court.

Any of our insiders have a feeling regarding our standing with J'raan? I know many have said Jordan is a pipe dream so that'd make Brooks a huge priority in my mind. Frontcourt beef is desperately lacking.

Apparently in it with two other schools from out West. Puncher's chance perhaps in my opinion.

Thanks paultz. Hopefully "punchers chance" improves after our visit.

there are no "insiders" on this board

Kid looks good. I'm on board.

Would love to get him. But, he’s not pie in the sky territory like Jordan Brown. His ranking is good, but not great. Hopefully , we would have more than a punchers chance.

If the puncher is Ron Lyle or Ernie Shavers I like our chances.

Hearing there are insiders on this board

I am still waiting for that Ponds Suspension you told us all about before the year started......

As far as ranking goes, the kid is ranked as high as top 70.... that’s a great range to recruit in and should be impactful.  In addition watch the videos. The kid has good footwork and will be scoring in the post, not hoisting treys which is exactly what we need.  Hopefully we can get him to come east...
