LOHD has provided you this year with 5 recurits who are in state that you need to go after. Please make every effort to sign these players in the near future b/c they could seriously help our basketball team (we all know we need a big man – why not a 7 footer and a 6-10 guy?).
—7-0 junior Marcus Goode, who attends The Patterson School in Hickory, NC is drawing strong interest from USC, Clemson, Georgetown, Virginia, Pittsburgh and Nebraska.
—6-7 junior Murphy Hollowayof Dutch Fork has USC, Clemson, North Carolina, Kansas and Pittsburgh among the interested schools.
—6-2 Lashay Page of Dillon is being sought by USC, Wake Forest and New Mexico State with USC the favorite.
—6-10 junior Darnarius Robinson, who attends New Horizon Christian School in Danville, VA, is drawing looks from Old Dominion, UAB and Cincinnati.
—6-4 sophomore Alshon Jeffrey of Calhoun County is already drawing the interest of USC, Clemson, Kentucky, Tennessee, Kansas and North Carolina. He averaged 18 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game this season.
Side note —- The battle for 7-foot-1 Romanian center Catalin Baciu of Fletcher, N.C., between Clemson and USC ended last week. He committed to Clemson. Way to go Odom.
