Two New Targets on the Recruiting Trail
Looking to replace Christian, SJU add's two centers to recruiting board.

After losing out on Devin Christian's services to Delaware, Norm Roberts adds two new big man prospects to their recruiting search in order to find a big man to man the middle of the floor.

Eni Lukasiak (6'10", 213 lbs.) of Santa Ana, CA wasn't being recruited by any school at the end of the early recruiting period, so SJU decided to put some serious time into him. Unfortunately, UNLV, Stanford, Arizona and Nevada, all much closer to home, jumped into the race and all have an edge over SJU. This is looking like a lost cause.

The second of the two "tower" prospects is Erik Domercant of Tacoma, WA. He stands at 6'11" and weighs in at 248 pounds. He's got great size and with that comes some good rebounding skills. He's average athletically, but at 6'11", what would you expect?

His AAU team, Top Notch, was a force to be reckoned with this past year and Erik had a lot to do with it. He averaged 10.8 points, 8.9 rebounds and 2 blocks per game. His two serious weaknesses are free throw shooting (58.6%), which is already a struggle for the Red Storm, and turnovers (2.9 per game). He could have a hidden three-point shot as he went 3 for 10 from beyond the arc.

Hopefully SJU can lock up Domercant at the end of the season, but that is some ways away.

I hope you end up getting Domercant, it would be nice to follow a somewhat local kid in your dynasty.

PS: I mentioned it in the other thread, but in case you didn't see it. I used a program called Kompozer to create my top 25 table. OR if you want to use my code, let me know and I can PM you it.

Yeah, Domercant would be nice to grab for myself. I'm assuming you are a citizen of the great northwest?

I'm going to give Kompozer a download now and play around with it. If I have trouble with it, I might have to send you a PM.

Yup, hometown is about 40 min away from Tacoma. It's pretty easy to make the tables in the program, but you have to reformat the HTML when you post it in here. Just like the Pujols Tables, whitespace everywhere.
