Verbal Commits @verbalcommits 3h3 hours ago ETSU, Iona, and Texas-Rio Grande Valley offered 2016 Daytona State College (FL) G Kendrick Thompson. verbalcommits.com/players/kendrick-thompson …

Alex Kline @therecruitscoop 35m35 minutes ago 2016 WE R1 (DE) SG Jordan Allen picked up offers from Drexel, Iona & Rider today.
Jordan Allen- 6'3" 190lb SG from Dover, DE. One pf the best pure outside shooters on the east coast according to some sources. Has offers from Iona, Delaware, Drexal and Rider. Has interest from Delaware, Northeastern, Appalachian State, Jacksonville, St. Joseph’s, Fordham and Quinnipiac. Here is a scouting report from City of Basketball Love on Allen's recent performance at the Hoop Group/Elevate Hoops events:
"There’s only one word to properly describe Allen and it’s one that almost every coach would value: shooter. Allen is as pure a long-range sniper as there is in the area, and maybe the country, as it’s routine for him to knock down at least a trio of three-pointers in every game he plays. Over the course of the week at Philly U, he hit as many as seven in one game, and had a number of 20-plus point performances. He does a great job of moving without the ball to get himself open, and his quick release allows him to get his shot off before the defense can close out. Allen is best shooting off the catch, but displayed an ability to pull up off the dribble as well. He’s not a one-trick pony, however, as he has a nifty dribble-drive game attacking closeouts going towards his right, and is a sneaky athlete who can stay in front of his man defensively and rise up for some highlight blocks."

Looks like a big Iona fan but he had a nice weekend in Vegas. Had schools like Minnesota checking him out as well.
