Dave,

How did it go?  Looking for a little report from you if you have time.  With an STJ slant of course :)

Refreshing to see they mentioned Elisha Boone out of loughlin. He's an undersized big during the school season but probably gets to slide back to a wing on the circuit. But his little brother is a year round guard and is coming to my school next fall as a freshman. Supposed to be one of the best in the city  :)

Sorry busy running around. No time to rest with running two tourneys this weekend in Philly and Providence. Pitt was great, tremendous talent, media presence (ESPN, CBS, Scout, Rivals, Ballislife, HoopMixTape, & more), and college coaches. Over 160 D1 schools were represented by coaches.

Unfortunately St. John's wasn't one of them they were 1 of 3 Big East schools who weren't there. (Marquette and Louisville).

Dave - did you see/hear if Calipari left by coincidence or for a reason when Aaron Harrison got the T for pushing that little pesky guard? I read Turge and Calipari were side by side bs-ing during the Harrison twins Defenders game.

STJ sent someone to Minn to watch McCullough last week.  Guessing the rest of the staff was entertaining Sanchez, Marco and Hooper.

They were talking before the first game of the morning started. The 2nd game they weren't sitting near each other and the T had nothing to do with it. One of the Harrison's twisted his ankle and the game was out of reach so he left with a few min left to go catch New Rens game.

I'm pretty sure they were out in Minneapolis checking out Chris McCullough and securing 3 commitments.
