Miss St Hoops Recruit to NBA (link)

Already interviewing agents, so no turning back.

Freshman Charles Rhodes has already left, Walter Sharpe soon to follow it looks like. They've got another guy who redshirted this year who could be leaving. That, and Ervin has been threatening to leave since the end of the season. Looks like they could be battling lefire: for the cellar in the west, especially if Ellis goes.

 

I thought Brady was the only coach in America who lost players.

 

Per the Clarion Ledger, Ellis has officially declared.

This is in harmony with "natural order." It is right and just. :hihi:

 

"Ellis becomes the fourth high school player to officially declare for the draft, joining Oklahoma State signee Gerald Green (Gulf Shores Academy in Houston, Texas), unsigned Andray Blatche of South Kent Prep School (Conn.) and Memphis signee Shawne Williams (Laurinburg Prep, N.J.). Green is probably the highest-rated of the bunch but has said he would keep his options open and not sign with an agent."

Looks like these kids are hurrying to get in under the wire before the NBA institutes the minimum age rule.

 

I would love to see Green go to OSU instead of turning pro, but I am not gonna hold my breath.
