Denver Fox, the 4* JC SF we're going after, already has us up to 100%. He seems a lock to come to Ohio. He wants to feel wanted and play close to home. I guess we're the only ones showing him we want him and we're close to Cincinnati, so we're in. He's scouting out as a decent shooter(B med/C+ inside), average defender with high blocks/steals, and an above average athlete. He seems like he'll likely come in pretty decent, i'm not sure why others are shying away. I guess JC Soph hurts him, he'll only be around for 2 years... but i'll be happy to stick a 4* SF behind Santiago for 2 seasons.
The PF we want, Broermann, seems likely to end up at Michigan, which is unfortunate. We've got him to 95% though so we'll stickit out til the early signing period. We'll get to 100% and be in the mix.
Next up is a 75 rated Hartford team that a few seasons ago might have presented a good challenge, but this year we better crush.

yes... just the type of dominant victory we expect. Sheesh. Bright gives us 12 points/13 boards. Santiago 10, McCully 8. Jimenez and Santiago combine for 2-12 from 3.
We will absolutely have Fox, Broermann, and Graves at 100% come early signing day. I expect to have bad news though. Broermann to Michigan and Graves will go somewhere else I bet. We're the only offer so far, but Kentucky, Va Tech, and West Virginia all have him right around 100% too. If any of them offer before the early signing period, we will almost surely lose him. He's from Cincinnati and his #2 goal is close to home, so that gives us some hope. But his #1 goal is a big program.
Speaking of big programs, we haven't been beaten enough by Ball State's annoying 3-2 defense and high flying athletic fowards over the last 3 seasons, so we I figured it was a good idea to go out of my way to follow their coach and see how his annoying 3-2 defense will work at North Carolina with even better athletes. We travel to Chapel Hill next.
