Then there's Skyy Walker, a 6-2 SG from Brentwood. He heard from us today. A consensus five-star recruit, he's got offers from Michigan, Oregon, Georgetown, Ohio State, Kansas, UCLA, etc.
We may have won the Internet with that one.
Is that Brentwood, Cali or NY ? As catchy a name and fun as it might be to have a guy named Skyy Walker on the team, I think you're referring to Skyy Clark. Go get 'em Brett!

The recruiter told CBN that "We have a Chance" and Coach Nelson did not realize he was referring to the student's first name, so we began pursuing aggressively

On a more realistic note, we've offered a kid from St. John's in Shrewsbury. Power is a 6-9 PF.

Yesterday was the first day coaches were allowed to contact rising high school juniors. Ah-ha. Thank you. I never really noticed such a flurry of activity in previous years. Looks like our coaches have been busy.

At 5'8" he might need to be the second coming of Calvin Murphy (baton twirling not required).

You couldn't find two communities with the same name any different than the two Brentwoods.

Actually, the Brentwood Academy Skyy Clark is attending is in Tennessee. Though he had been in Northridge CA at Heritage Christian School
I don't think anyone really thinks we have a chance with him, but he seems like a really interesting kid. Other than the 5 star rating, seems like the type of kid we'd go after hard. Just Google Skyy Clark and add a word like parents, mother, or father and there are a handful of stories about him that will come up that have little to do with his recruiting and basketball.

I see a Lambiotte on the list of PFs we have interest in. His father was a Parade AA. His son sounds like a solid player.

Ann Lambiotte was a member of the HC Women’s basketball team from 1987-1991. She currently resides in North Carolina. If I remember correctly, from her playing days at HC that she is the sister to Walker. So there could be a family connection regarding recruiting.

Walker is his father, Ann is his aunt, Kenny is his uncle.
Ann's the only one who finished where she started. Walker went to NC State, then Northwestern. Kenny was a basketball player at Virginia, then transferred to Bill and Mary to play quarterback. He played against HC in 1986 (we won big).

Two questions:
1.) Can you offer someone who is not in the NCAA clearinghouse? 2.) How does a rising junior get into the clearinghouse as standardized tests were largely cancelled this spring?
And I won't even bother getting into the AI.

Like Muggsy Boggs he might be more dangerous defensively, but he is legitimate, and he would be a steal for the program despite his size.
