    2007 Recruit Commits....

    Michael Beasley(6-8 SF from Florida) has verbaled to UNC Charlotte. He is in his first year of high school(I guess he's on the 3 year plan, he used to be listed as a 2008 prospect) and was narrowed down to Charlotte ans Syracuse. He may have been the #1 SF in the 2008 class, he will be a top 20 overall prospect in 2007. The first 5 star player to commit for 07 OR 06.

    Of course this doesn't mean he will ever actually wear a Charlotte uniform(with the NBA being a strong possibility and other schools will try to wrestle him loose in the next THREE years), but if he does play a game in college, there's a really good chance it'll be for Charlotte. Pretty bizarre for a kid to committ this early, but he's been recruited for at least a year now by Charlotte and Sryacuse.

            Eventually an elementary school kid is going to commit to UNC or Duke
            As Shaquille O'Neal left the Suns practice court, he yelled out, "Alvin's the coach. We must be the Clippers. And I must be Olowokandi. Nooooo!"

                Yeah, it's an interesting situation, but that's what is coming to now. It's not frequent, but with a kid as talented as this, it's definitely being done more often. He played in some summer camps/leagues and was rated in the top 20 underclassmen(top 20 out of all HS sophomores or younger), so that has to be where peopel started talking to him. He is old for a freshman(15) and apparently he is being pushed through his high school in 3 years(maybe because he is a little bit older, i don't really know).

                It's an interesting situation, many coaches don't respect verbal commitments and will still go after him. How can somebody that young make such a big decision? It will be intersting to watch what happends to him over the next few years...

                        just to update, this kid is officially in the 2007 class now and it rated #2 overall.... http://scout.theinsiders.com/a.z?s=7...yr=2007&pid=88 , barring injury or basketball amnesia of some sorts, he's NBA bound, but apparently is really set on Charlotte if he doesn't go pro.

                        and the #5 guy on that list lives with Beasley and is now considering Charlotte as well so he could play with his friend, or at least so they could commit to the same school and then not show up together, whichever....

                            There's also a kid by the name of Taylor King who verbally committed to UCLA before his high-school career even started. He is a 6'7 SG/SF out of Mater Dei HighSchool here in California.*
