SoCalHoops Tournament & Recruiting News

We're going to be at a player luncheon today down in Long Beach, where hopefully, we'll be meeting with most of the players on the U.S. team, players like Curtis Borchardt 6'-11" Eastlake HS (Stanford), Andrew Gooden 6'-9" El Cerrito HS (Kansas), Chris Osborne 6'-10" Westchester HS (ASU), Justin Davis 6'-8" St. Joseph, Alameda (Stanford), Donnell Knight 6'-8" Corona del Sol HS, Tempe, AZ (ASU),  Joe Shipp 6'-5" Fairfax HS (unsigned), Brian Wethers 6'-5" Murrieta Valley HS (Cal), Keith Kincade 6'-5" Domginuez HS (unsigned), Jamal Crawford 6'-5" Rainier Beach, Seattle, WA (Michigan), Tito Maddox 6'-4" Compton HS (unsigned), Kevin Gaines 6'-4" Clark HS, Las Vegas, NV (Michigan), Gilbert Arenas 6'-4" Grant HS, Van Nuys (Arizona), Julius Barnes 6'-1" Rowland HS (Stanford), Josh Moore 7'-1" St. Thomas More Prep (Rutgers), Leon Smith 6'-10" MLK HS, Chicago (unsigned- NBA), Jason Parker 6'-8" West HS, Charlotte, NC (unsigned), Travis Watson 6'-7" Oak Hill Acad., VA (Virginia), Chris Ogden 6'-7" Seminole HS, Seminole, TX (Texas), Kareem Rush 6'-5" Pembroke School, KC, MO (unsigned), Marshall Williams 6'-5" Vincent HS, Milwaukee, WI (unsigned), Josh Kroenke 6'-5" New Hampton, NH (unsigned), Marcus Moore 6'-4" Dominguez (unsigned), John Cox 6'-3" Engineering & Science, Phila, PA. (USF), Kirk Hinrich 6'-3" West HS, Sioux City, Iowa (Kansas), Demetrius Hunter 6'-2" Cheyenne HS, Las Vegas, NV (Georgetown), Brent Darby 6'-1" River Rouge HS, MI (Ohio State), and Marlon Parmer 6'-2" Verbum Dei HS, CA (Unsigned)

If you listened to Phil Gatton on the John "The Coach" Kentera show last night on XTRA 690 Sports Radio, then you know that Joe Shipp will be returning from his visit at Cal to play in the game, and Marlon Parmer, who was at Michigan for the past few days will also be flying home for the game. Whether all of the other players from other states show is something we'll find out today,   and it appears that the only two who are questionable right now are Brent Darby and possibly Kareem Rush (something about a prom again).

We'll post up what we learn at the player luncheon later today. In the meantime, here's yet another reminder for the umpy-umpteenth time:  The 3rd Annual Dada All-Star Classic games will be held tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. (All Southern Cal game), and at 5:00 p.m. (U.S. v. West) at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion.   Tickets are $8 for adults and $6 for students.  Parking will probably be the usual $5, but that's something that's up to UCLA. The doors to Pauley will be open at 2:00 p.m. so get their early because it's open seating (except for the press row, and if you get there early enough you'll see those sitting their fighting over the best seats :-).

See you there.
