The first recruits for Elmhurst are Aaron Twist a 6-11 ,240lb post player from West Frankfort ,Illinois. And Adam Braxton a 6-3 guard-forward from Leyden township High School in Northlake ,Illinois. Thanks for your insight And One.

Just by virtue of his being 6'11" you would think he would have rec'd a low D1 or at least a D2 offer. Even if he can't play a lick, you would think some school would take a chance based on height alone. It's not like any of us who regularly follow high school and D3 basketball haven't seen this happen a dozen times. If the kid can actually play, then that's a huge bonus for EC beyond him just standing under the basket collecting rebounds.

Any stats on the big guy going to EC?  Can he play?

We seem to be right at the time when kids are making final decisions.

Many of them are making final decisions now. But a significant number of them won't do so until later on in the spring, or even into the summer.

Is this code for we won't be hearing anything about any North Park recruits for a while yet;)

Not entirely, although ... yes, you won't be hearing anything about any North Park recruits for a while yet. ;)

Please permit a bit of a diversion from basketball/sports.........

If any of you have children, you and your better half have a day of joy and happiness to look forward to on their wedding day. My wife and I had the fortune to experience these sensations yesterday when our son was married. Lots and lots of work leading up to the event (done mostly by the Mrs.), but certainly well worth the effort when it's all over. You feel so good you can't even criticize a bitter rival!
I hope, at some point in your family's journey, that lots of you get to experience the elation I/we are now enjoying. Those of you with married kids know what I'm talking about.  ;D

Congratulations!  One of my sons is married (and gave us our first grandson just under a year ago, with a granddaughter expected in August); the other was very close one time, but she got cold feet (her father cheated on her mother, they divorced, they re-married, he cheated again and they divorced again - understandably she is pretty scared of commitment!  He is the second guy who thought they were headed to the altar, then got dumped.)  A close friend of my older son (they've been buddies since age 1 or 2) got engaged this afternoon!

IWU recruit names I have seen on Twitter...

* Nick Coleman, 6-2 PG/SG (St. Patrick H.S., Chicago)
* Mark Falotico, 6-1 PG/SG (St. Viator H.S., Chicago)
* Ben Sestak, 6-6 SF (Sacred Heart-Griffin H.S., Springfield)

Why would any PG or SG's come to IWU right now?  The roster is grossly overloaded with SG/PG's and the coaches kid will be the main focus the next 3 years.  This past year's roster had 16 Guards on it with only 3 seniors graduating.  Contrast that with NCC as an example -- they only have 10 Guards on the roster

Then why bring in more Guards? This team needs Bigs.  Talk about hoarding players.  AAU coaches have been critical of IWU in how they hoard players -- and this is an example of it.  These incoming Freshman guards have very little chance of any meaningful minutes the next 3 years.  If I'm a HS guard and his family, IWU is off scope for two more seasons.

You seem to be someone with a strong recruiting interest against IWU.

Oh well, I hope you get whatever guard you are looking for so you can save the board the drama.
