Adam Zagoria @adamzagoria 11m11 minutes ago Iona and Cincinnati have offered 2016 G Devonte Green of Long Island Lutheran, per his dad. Louisville, Indiana, Maryland also interested. Did TC coach his older brother? or am I thinking of another player?

Watching the video clips of Devonte Green, his play reminds me a lot of Momo Jones.

Devonte is a very, very good player. He actually played at St. Mary's before transferring to Lutheran. Cluess and the Green family have a long-standing relationship. It may be hard to compete with Maryland, Indiana, and Louisville on this one. As always, he'd kill in our system.

Many teams are bringing in foreign players. And speaking with Doug Leichner, he said that we are also interested in doing that. If so, I think that next year is more probable than this year, but wouldn't be surprised with a foreign player, this year. ('15). Anyone hear anything?

Journal News is reporting that we offered Elijah Hughes, a 6'5" SG/SF from Kennedy Catholic. Kid played PG growing up and is very unselfish. He opened up a few eyes with a performance (i6 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists) during a scrimmage against 4 star recruit Rawle Alkins (Top 100 ESPN Recruit) of Christ the King. He has offers from Iona and Fairfield and interest from Oklahoma and Villanova. He was named CHSAA POY this season. He is a very athletic player who gets to the hoop and creates for teammates. Has a good jumper out to the three but really excels in transition where he likes to play above the rim and create for his teammates. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLKl6geRnvY

KB-W, looked great in the video clip. He'd make a great addition, imo.

The Pronghorns’ 6-foot-10 center, Kavell Bigby-Williams knows a thing or two about toughness. Not only is he an emotional rim-protector who averages 2.3 blocks and 9.8 rebounds per game, he’s used to physical play.
The London native grew up playing a physical style of basketball across Europe for English national teams. On those select teams from England, he built up experience in high-profile tournaments.
“You’re playing against top competition,” Bigby-Williams said of European championship tournaments. “Every country brings their best players. It’s always been a big challenge.”
The center did say the European Championships aren’t quite on the same level as the national tournament trip he and his teammates are about to embark on. They are the same in one aspect, though.
“Everyone plays harder,” Bigby-Williams said. “There’s much more at stake.” www.gcpronghorns.com/basketball-men/Same place Bashir Ahmed's brother Muhammed played before going to North Texas State.

Tell him I'm a Chelsea supporter, or Spurs, or Arsenal, or West Ham, or QPR, or Crystal Palace, or Fulham, or whichever London club he roots for, unless he roots for United, or Liverpool, then I'll support them too, but not City. Tell him I'll support City also!!!
