Ponds or Heron?

IMO, Heron

Both, I believe shamorie is 2nd option right now at the point guard position while heron is our top guy we are after

I have felt for a while Heron, Ponds & Ahmed would be a solid start.

@jeffborzello: List for PG Shamorie Ponds (No. 67): St. John's, Georgia Tech, Xavier, Temple, Seton Hall, Oklahoma, Miami, Minnesota.

I like Shamorie. Gets buckets and has awesome body control around the basket.

Agree. Any indication he wouldn't mind staying local for college?

Doesn't seem like he is wavering one way or another.

Has amazing body control away from the basket too.  Very high on this kid...most intriguing prospect I've seen from the area in some time.
Write this kid down for 2-3 steals a game in college.

@AdamZagoria: Georgia Tech just offered 2016 Thomas Jefferson G @ShamorieP and said they are making him a priority

I think this kid should be top priority after Heron for the 16 class. I'm hoping some on this board get a chance to catch a few of his games in the CHSAA this year.

Agreed...I don't see Alkins staying home.  We need to keep this kid in the city.

Potential top 50 recruit.  I'd really like to see him play in an all-star game against the best of the best.
He'd look really good next to Lovett.

Quicker than I thought.  #45

Marillac has endured enough video breakdown jokes to warrant such replies

Also, #sjubb very involved with 2016 Jefferson guard Shamorie Ponds. Said he speaks to staff frequently.

@NYPost_Brazille: Jefferson coach Bud Pollard said #sjubb, Seton Hall, Minnesota, Creighton, South Carolina most active with Shamorie Ponds.

@NYPost_Brazille: Shamorie Ponds on #sjubb: "They're telling me I'm their No. 1 recruit for 2016. I want to go somewhere I feel wanted."

 Recruiting is interesting.

Heron Ponds Mussini and Ellison (Lovett?) would easily comprise one of the most dynamic backcourts in the Big East.

Crickets re: LoVett

What happened to the "staff is confident" line we were hearing everywhere re lovett?
