McClain Update In Hartford Paper Today (Sat)...

[bcatwilly]

Hmmm...

Anthony McClain of National Christian Academy in Fort Washington, Md., and Brandon Sampay of Howard College in Texas are two post players the Huskies are keeping an eye on. A source said McClain is likely to commit to another school soon.

Outstanding!

[Corporateballa]

Great news! Mick is he man! He's will re-build...he has the technology, he has the capability...MICK is the $6million MAN!

Mick is the quality recruiter most of us believed him to be! Getting Calhoun to wave the white flag is a HUGE get! I see even broader success ahead with the 2008 class! GO CATS!

I will wait for the LOI, but this is obviously good news. I am cautious, but I am very optimistic for the future.

[SLMadiCat]

I also think I will wait til a LOI. This does sound like good news, but I've seen so many "sources" be completely wrong in the past couple years that unless it comes from the horses mouth, I'll wait.

[solomon33]

I'm with you SLMadiCat, until it comes from McLain's mouth, i will wait and see too. But how nice would it be to have some OTHER legitimate size to go along with Adam H in the post next year!

[Josh Rexhausen]

I know this is from Saturday, but I'm going to stay cautious.

"Given the sudden defections, it would not be a surprise if Thompson makes a late charge at top-10 prep center Anthony McClain. A lifelong Georgetown fan, the 6-11, 220-pound standout at National Christian Academy (Fort Washington) was a virtual Georgetown lock before the team's frontcourt glut prompted him to switch his recruiting focus to Connecticut and Cincinnati. If McClain gets his academics in order, Georgetown would be a natural fit for the national top-50 recruit and one of the few blue-chip big men still unsigned. "

Buzz killer...

Buzz killer...
Yea, I wished I hadn't searchd for McClain articles at lunch.

[shaunsimpson]

The good news is that McClain said that he already knows where he is going. He said that it is a Big East school so that doesn't help much, but I like our chances since I don't think that Gates would commit on just optimisim about McClain.

The LOI is in for Henry and UC is waiting on Mitchell. I am hoping that McClain will/has sent one in and there will be one big announcement.

[cspeed]

Is Henry in good standing with his grades? or his he in line to prep?
What about the Wyse kid, is he still in the mix?
I have never heard of this Both or Boss kid?

[shaunsimpson]

There have been concerns regarding Henry.
