We were involved some before he committed to Florida, but not that heavily involved.

"Evitmov already had 6 years of eligibility because of two medical redshirts"

Is Treetwista getting Evtimov confused with Chris Colmer or Bryant Feggins, I can't tell? Both of those guys were actually granted an extra medical redshirt.

Evtimov did play an extra "senior" season in high school to improve his recruiting stock, but I doubt he knew that.

What a random post, I wish hodge got 6 years like evtimov (who didn't get 6 years)... um?

5/21/2010 5:48:40 PM

I thought Evtimov played 6 (partial) seasons for us, maybe it was just 5

he seemed like he was here forever

oh well, I'll take my superior NBA knowledge over your superior knowledge of Evtimov's high school career

5/21/2010 5:50:02 PM

I think it was 5. IIRC he tore his ACL in a preseason game and missed all of that upcoming season.

5/21/2010 6:06:08 PM

IIRC he tore his ACL when he tripped on the rim while doing some insane dunk

[Edited on May 21, 2010 at 8:54 PM. Reason : IIRC, he had insane hops]

5/21/2010 8:53:53 PM

UncCharlotte just picked-up the next Evtimov a couple days ago, but he's from Slovenia instead of Bulgaria. my uncc-alumni buddy sent me a vid, but i can't find it now.

5/21/2010 9:18:29 PM

I asked a while back but does anybody know anything about Antonin Galaya? He has us listed on Scout with medium interest and we look like we are the only school on there worth playing for.

you say this as if the dude has access to his page and updates which schools he has "medium interest" in

5/21/2010 11:03:51 PM

looks like Josh Davis might end up at NC Central

good for him....he'd definitely get a lot of playing time

5/22/2010 12:19:35 PM

half the people who post on TWW could prob get decent playing time at NCCU. i mean they are the worst division 1 school. THE worst.

5/22/2010 1:16:45 PM

that would be nice cause we'll probably play them once or twice while he is there

5/22/2010 2:20:16 PM

our out of conference schedule for next year is shaping up to be pretty decent...Arizona, Wisconsin and likely Syracuse and Georgetown.

it would be great if Hodge is right and Painter is really coming along. The starting line up we'll have with Harrow/Javi, CJ Williams, Scott Wood, and an improved Painter coming off the bench looks pretty bad ass on paper

5/25/2010 2:59:29 PM

^temper your expectations. that lineup looks okay...but i guess "badass" is a relative term.

please move stuff like this to another thread. the recruiting thread is derailed far too often and should probably be locked and restarted at this point.

5/25/2010 9:04:54 PM

yeah no way Leslie or Brown compete for playing time

Predictions for our first 2011 commitment?

We're losing Tracy and Javi to graduation, and prob CJL to the draft. We ought to at least grab a big man and someone to relieve Ryan.

5/26/2010 9:54:08 AM

Does anyone have a list of all the recruits we're going after right now?

5/26/2010 10:14:54 AM

I wish we could use Sid's Dematha connections this year



These guys would be the perfect replacements for Javi and Tracy.

5/26/2010 10:37:25 AM

Rivals has a better list than Scout - idk why Scout doesn't list all these players.

5* PG: Quinn Cook

werent we in the running for LaQuinton Ross at some point?

5/26/2010 11:28:28 AM

In the running is pretty strong. We were just listed since we were one of his earlier confirmed offers.

Indeed, Sid's connections would be a good "in" with Quinn Cook, a rising senior at Sid's alma mater. Who are you referring to for a replacement for Tracy?

5/26/2010 12:06:47 PM

Coach Strickland is also from DeMatha.

add that to us having arguably the toughest in-conference schedule in the entire ACC;

unc x 2
wake x 2
duke x 2
clemson x 2
fsu x 2

uva, bc only x 1

better temper your expectations. with that brutal of a schedule, making the NCAA will be difficult. bright side is, if we do we would be dangerous and tested.

With the recruits that Wake has, they shouldn't be a pushover team.

Even though we're not included in his list of schools, I'm sure Coach Lowe has checked him out at some point. I haven't seen anything in the news about him.

"In the flurry of late signings and de-commits, very little has been said about Karron Johnson, who originally committed to Oklahoma State, but has re-opened his recruiting in hopes of ending up closer to his hometown of Richmond, Va. Johnson has looked at nearby University of Virginia, but according to Adam Zagoria of ZagsBlog.com, he's leaning more toward joining the West Virginia Mountaineers. Zagoria added that Johnson has dealt with maturity issues throughout high school and community college, which is part of the reason why he's bounced around from one school to the next. Bob Huggins has never shied away from the challenge of instilling discipline in a young man, so Morgantown could be a great fit for Johnson. The rising junior is known for his on-court intensity and rebounding ability, two qualities that are valued within the WVU system. Johnson is still being courted by Iowa State, Cincinnati, N.C. State and Kentucky, so this story is far from over. Also, the Mountaineers remain in the running for unsigned forward Kyle Cain, which could potentially complicate things as well, especially since Cain has listed playing time as one of his primary concerns. "Johnson is a super athletic forward that has improved his perimeter shooting. He can make open three's with time and space but is still streaky at best from behind the arc but he repeatedly flashed and cut across the lane and knocked down mid range turn around and fade away jumpers out to 17 feet with great elevation and follow through. Johnson has great size and strength as well. He can rebound in a crowd on both ends and will tip dunk offensive rebounds if not aggressively boxed out. Johnson also can rebound and start the break and if he is not picked up he will take it coast to coast. He also sprints the floor in transition and can finish at the rim through contact with ease. Johnson plays with urgency and is always looking to make a play on the offensive end. He must work on his open floor ball handling and passing against pressure if he wants to receive quality time at the small forward position but if Johnson continues to improve the sky is the limit on how good he could become.""

On ESPN Insider -- I dont recall hearing anything about this kid, and I didnt feel like checking this whole thread. Anyone know anything about him or how hard we are persuing him?

5/26/2010 3:41:46 PM

Im glad we play the Dookies twice, I hate just playing them once!

5/26/2010 3:47:57 PM

I haven't seen much about any 2011 recruits, but those that we're in on for the 2012 class seem to be really good. Getting in early with Uchebo could be huge.

5/26/2010 4:03:28 PM

Here's Johnson, who graduated high school in 2009. Scout.com says he's enrolled at Laurinburg Prep here in NC. So he's likely trying to enroll for this season.

http://scouthoops.scout.com/a.z?s=75&p=8&c=1&nid=2371479

And from the USA today last August:

Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford said Wednesday that touted recruit Karron Johnson won't be joining the Cowboys this season. Ford said Johnson is instead headed to a junior college, but he hopes the 6-foot-7 power forward could still be a part of the Cowboys' future.

Ford was optimistic that Johnson would be able to qualify academically and join Oklahoma State's freshman class next season. Johnson, who was attending Mount Zion Christian Academy in Durham, N.C., had been considered one of the top 50 recruits in the country by several ratings services when he signed with Oklahoma State in November.

As much as I would love to land Cook there's <.0001% chance we land him.

He knows about the DeMatha connection, but apparently doesn't think too much about it.

5/26/2010 5:03:00 PM

karron johnson is a major headcase. he has good talent and athleticism but given sid's past with problem players I don't think it'd be a good idea. Then again, he'd be a luxury recruit at this stage and if he doesn't work out he could always transfer
