Recruiting Hoops

Insiders.com is out with their updated top 100 for the class of 2005. Link here. Here are recruits of interest to the Jackets:

#1....Louis Williams (verbal UGAg but not 100% solid)
#10...C.J. Miles (confirmed visit)
#14...Andrew Bynum
#19...Eric Boeteng
#21...Vernon Goodridge
#25...Byron Eaton
#26...Brandon Costner
#27...Lewis Clinch (confirmed visit)
#30...Chris Douglas-Roberts (confirmed visit)
#31...Korvotney Barber
#39...Casaan Breeden (confirmed visit)
#44...Kevin Rogers (confirmed visit)
#50...Alade Aminu (committed to GT)
#53...Ryan Wright
#64...Levance Fields
#65...Austin Jackson
#72...Cyrus McGowan
#75...Marcus Johnson

Nice to see Alade Aminu get some recognition. So we have a verbal from the insiders #50 guy in the country. Shows how wild these rankings are, as Rivals has him at 135. It usually boils down to who has seen the kid play who has influence in making the list.

I hope to have an updated "draft board" ready in the next week or so for your viewing pleasure.

Also of note is that we have made Ryan Wright's top 5 cut. Also Cyrus McGowan will be visiting the weekend of 9/4. Clinch and Aminu will be visiting campus together the same weekend of 8/28. A little bonding with a future recruit never hurt.
