Michael Ramey, a SG at Miami Dade JC who originally was at Ball St, is visiting Iona per his Twitter. Shot 40% from 3. Michael Ramey - 6'5" SG from Indianapolis, Ind. He averaged 17.2 points per game for his high school career. Went to Ball State but left after missing 2/3's of his freshman season with an injury. Averaged 11.9 ppt at Dade before having season ending wrist surgery in January. Ramey was ranked one of the top 25 shooters in the country by ESPN for the class of 2012. His Dade coach said: “Michael can really shoot the ball,” said Head Coach Stephen Cowherd. “He has good experience being a sophomore and from playing Division I basketball last year, and he works his butt off.” Which wrist did he injure?

Had the exact same observation. No penetration to the hoop in that video, brought about bad memories of what Shane Richards did in the MAAC final. Always hard to tell from one video, but that one told me nothing, Most of those shots were so wide open Super could have hit them! Absolutely correct, Greg. I could never create my own shot--had to be wide open. I was a great free throw shooter--my offense typically consisted of running into people in order to get fouled!

He did look like he could shoot over big defenders because he had a lot of spring in his jump shot. That will be beneficial at this level.

It is being reported that Iona has officially offered Kai Mitchell from Spring Valley, NY. I have seen this kid play and he puts up sick numbers, Has a complete game but needs to take control of games from start to finish... he has that ability. Teammate of Iona recruit Ricky mcGill. Some early reports on him:
Kai Mitchell – House of Sports Gauchos – A deceptively quick and elusive big man with a surprising vertical, the 6-foot-5 sophomore forward used his size, muscle and soft hands to score inside. His ability to find space and sense when to make the correct interior cut also made him an easy target for teammates looking to work the ball inside. Mitchell put up solid point totals and hit the boards with maximum effort. While rebound totals weren’t officially kept, it’s likely he averaged double-figures. When opponents did try to outmuscle him defensively, Mitchell successfully absorbed contact and got the ball over the rim. He displayed a sweet stroke from the free throw line and when he drained 10-14-footers. The few times that Mitchell did receive a pass in the post, he did well in either making a move or finding an open teammate once he was doubled." NERR Report on the Hall of Fame Spring Classic In MASS.
"Kai Mitchell (6-5 forward) House of Sports Elite/Spring Valley H.S.: Standout performer who started off pool play with 23 points in first game. Strong-bodied (240 pounds) positional post with excellent hands and feet. Power finisher who can play above the rim. Showed potential touch from 15 feet that should develop. Size may be a concern, but plays like a mini DeJuan Blair. Rising junior, starting to hear from mid-major D-I's." GYMRAT Challenge Report
"Minutemen got their first taste of weekday action last night after playing all their prior games on Sundays. Back at full strength after having several players missing in their last contest against Bedford Y, they played Spring Valley in the first game of a doubleheader. For a majority of the game both teams were neck and neck. Things would change a bit midway through the second half when Spring Valley went on a 12-3 run to gain a comfortable lead. Their big man Kai Mitchell was an absolute beast in the paint. Minutemen did not have an answer for him, their do-everyhting guy Benard Edwards did the best he could to try and contain him. Despite this, they climbed back in the game and with 18 seconds on the clock John Licuse (one of the key players missing in the last game) sunk two free throws to tie the game at 52 and send us into overtime. In the overtime period Spring Valley would hold the Minutemen to zero points while Mitchell would continue his dominance, leading his team to the victory and notching a game-high 25 points." Dyckman Report

Looks like we are not really on this kids list. From the City of Basketball Love website: Jared Wilson-Frame: “The offers I’m really focusing on right now are St. Joe’s, Minnesota, Providence, Rhode Island and Hofstra,” he said. “These are the schools that are really involved in my recruitment right now that are on me every day, talking to me.” cityofbasketballlove.com/2014/07/summer-classic-east-day-1-notebook-part-1/

Jaquan McKennon holds an offer from Iona and high interest from Miami, Notre Dame and Tennessee among others. He's a 5-7 PG, formerly of St Ray's and now with National Christian Academy. He put up 30 last night at Dykman and was at Iona's camp a few months back. Has some older Youtube videos out there.
I'm not sure why we'd go after another undersized PG after getting Casimir, but McKennon's list of schools is impressive and perhaps the staff would consider him an upgrade.

From the City of Basketball Love website: Quote images.proboards.com/v5/bbcode/smiley.pngLets give it a break fellows...Seem like we have missed out on all recruit possibilities from Prairie View College to Kentucky...For four years we have out recruited the MAAC teams by a mile...We should show more faith in a product that has produced that type results... Have we become like todays children who wake up Christmas morning and are disappointed if they don't find a new car in the driveway... Show a little patience...IMO Cluess and staff will not let us leave the garage without a full tank of gas...

I think that same society that produces kids that expect that car on Christmas morning is also the society that produces kids that want their asses kissed 24/7. The kids call it being "shown some love"... I think many need to be shown a swift kick in the ass. I would rather focus our attention to players that want to be here.

We are also looking at Kealen Ives, a 5'7" PG out of Putnam Science Academy. He has offered from Maine and Rider and looks from LIU, Vermont, Hofstra, Campbell and Gardner Webb. Jaquan McKennon is a smart player, great handle, can get to the hoop and shoot. His best skills are passing and court vision.

Hit send button by mistake.... Iona86.....You have opened up a can of worms...You will be surprised at those that will take issue with your opinions...But welcome to the dwindling few... By your posting name (Iona86) my guess at your age is again somewhere near 50...Glad to see some ''Youngsters'' still have instilled some hope...
