For sure, and I totally get it! Mullins is a great recruiter! But so is Porter, who ultimately is going to be the one to push most recruits over the edge. What will be really interesting is if/when the two go head to head for recruits down the line.

Let’s also be honest, who in their right mind chooses to go to school at SIU over Loyola?

Tom Welch and Naperville North lost to Glenbard West and Evan Taylor (SIU recruit) last night in OT 57-51. Welch had 22 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 blocks. He ends the season averaging 21 ppg (526 points in 25 games).

He will have 4 years to avenge that loss.

Marquise Kennedy has been named all-Chicago first team.
Some interesting quotes:
Marquise Kennedy, Brother Rice, G, 6-1, Sr. 23.8 pts, 6.4 rbs, 3.8 asst, 2 stls, 1.2 blk, 60% FG
“Many coaches and longtime observers say Kennedy is the best shot-blocking guard they’ve seen.”

I'm going to try to catch the Brother Rice/Simeon Regional game tonight at Brother Rice to see how Kennedy fares against 2nd team All City guard Antonio Reeves.

Will post a scouting report after the game. (Access is by subscription only: Annual $99.00; Monthly $ 15.00; Daily $5.00. Credit Card and Paypal only. No checks.)

Sneak preview: end of 1 rice down 17 13. Matt Gordon and Drea Valentine here.

Kennedy scoring on drives. Likes to go to his left hand.

Rice on a run. Up 30-23 midway through 2nd Q.

Kennedy is GREAT.
