I didn't see Deng Gak play this spring but he dropped from No. 31 to No. 78.

That's OK. We'll still take him. [winking]

The old staff was on Gak pretty hard. He had a great visit last year while attending the OSU football game. I don't know if the new staff is trying as hard now that his recruitment has blown up. Coach K recently offered, so Duke appears to be the leader.

Can you post the 350-500 players? That's who we are on so I am wondering their standings. Thanks.

Alvarado is a name we've been in on...

We have a legitimate shot with Alvarado. He is a solid prospect who could be a nice 4 year player. Ideally Sanders would stay for his junior year which would allow Alvarado to get stronger and acclimated to college ball. I do not see Sanders coming back for his junior year unfortunately. So that may mean Alvarado would have a very rough freshman year if we can land him. In time he can be a solid player.
