Darrick Wood - SG - Palm Beach CC - Alexandria, VA - DEPAUL

Right out my back door. Will make a point to check him out. Palm Beach had 2 move on to Div 1 last year. Will see where it all shakes out come November.

Or maybe he's referring to the new schools that may be attracted to him once he plays juco.. No?

do not waste anymore time on this kid.

We have no idea what we'll be looking for in 2014. Right now its McCollough but we all know we could have more ships available in 2 years. He was good enough for us now. I would think he'll be even better in 2 years,

do not waste anymore time on this kid.

Agree. If he's there and we need him, fine, but not losing sleep over him. He has had his chances.

In his defense, if he never received assurances that he'd be in the plans two years from now he does need to cover his own ass and open things up regarding his recruitment. But I have mentioned before that finding another Wood would be easier than finding another Chandler. I hope we stay in MC's plans.

Agree completely.   Unfortunately I think we won't be the only team that stays in touch.    At one point wasn't he committed to like 4 other places?   Indiana, Lousiville, Xavier, UCF ?    I'm guessing a number of assistants will check up on MC from time to time.   Hopefully Tony is one of them.

We have, can and will continue to find players as good or better than both of them.  Look at how we're recruiting.  No harm in keeps tabs and some dialogue, but nobody will lose sleep as we move on to 2013/14 classes without them at the forefront.

I must have missed the center we found that was better than Chandler.    Big men don't grow on trees,  I would keep him towards the top of the 2013/14 wish list.

Obekpa is top 60 center too and I'm sure there will be more.

This guy is going to be 30yo by the time he is elgible...

Why do you say that? 

It will be good to see Chandler back playing, hope we stay in touch with him. He is an impact 5 and will be playing in the NBA one day if he keeps in shape and progresses. 

As for Wood, nice player but there are so many kids like him each year. It's time for both sides to move on.

Hey Moose,

1. Much respect for the information you provide. 2. The kid was originally supposed to be part of the 2012 class. Then the 2013 class. Now he is classified for 2014. I don't think he will be literally 30yo, but I exagerated to make a point.

All the best and hope to meet you guys someday at a pregame at Stoudt, owned by SJU alum Marty Whelan who is also a Chaminade alum.

He was never '13.  Always been '12 and now he's doing JUCO so tack on two.  I just don't see him as option down the road because we will have bigger fish to fry in '14.

FWIW, I noticed he is no longer listed on Palm Beach CC roster. Not looking good for this kid.
