Just think about that.  Three 6'8" very good basketball players who just happened to all grow up in the same neighborhood.  Amazing.

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1297296" timestamp="1349996219"] The visits, letters, phone calls, midnight madness trips, Facebook contacts,letters are cool. Your ego is stroked but all that don't mean nothing unless the offer. They know who they want. If you're listed #2, they are trying to offer #1. If #1 goes somewhere else, then they have more time for you and you become their priority. [/quote] My guess is that even if you are #2, you have probably received more than a standard recruiting letter.

[/quote] im sure he will play college ball somewhere but out of all the players in the area that are getting letters in the mail he is the only one that has not gotten any letters at all. not a one [/quote] Most "letters" are nothing more than that.  Often times, they are sent to people that the coach and staff of any particular school have never heard of.  I know a local sophomore football player who received a "letter" from LSU and it had no meaning whatsoever.

I am pretty sure that there is definitely a "place" for Devante at the college level.

[quote name="freeze 1914" post="1296961" timestamp="1349971872"] Devante will be taking a unofficial visit to McNeese State this weekend. Should he be getting more looks from colleges or is he not ready yet for the next level? Thoughts...... [/quote] I know of another "look" that he recently got. 

Yep- EXACTLY like the spontaneous over reaction to a video in Benghazi

We (Huntington) have had some decent teams lately but not anything like the distant past....I think 79 was the last regional tourney appearance..... [/quote] Once No look and bo hack left the high school ranks, Huntington had no hope of ever replicating those performances.

They should have gone to prep school in the first place

My full apologies.  I did not mean what I was saying.  It just slipped out.  I wasnt feeling well and a liberal acquaintance of mine convinced me I needed to drink some Orange juice.  I immediately had a strange feeling come over me where I had lost all control - hence my erroneous comment- a subsequent investigation revealed that my friend had given me "kool aid" rather than orange juice.  For a couple of minutes I was chanting "tax the rich" and "where are my entitlements"?
