Is Crosby supposed to be any good this year? Graduated from there, but moved to Indiana and can't keep up with them that much.

His dad's whacked! Moved him from Meriden originally to get "away" to play better basketball or whatever....he's in a great situation in Wilbraham and now that they moved to West Haven he's going to school in Waterbury? Watch the twists and turns to this as time moves on.......
Expand ...

Come now, can't blame his dad for wanting him out of Meriden. Not sure why he moved out of Wilbraham though. Heck didn't Boatright go to 3-4 high schools? Pretty sure Daniel Hamilton has been to 2-3. Lubin has been to 2. I'm not saying his father isn't a headache, but I don't think that the transfers alone will stop UConn from recruiting him.

Maybe he didn't like the prep school?
 
I read he was originally going to enroll at Sacred Heart before his freshman year but wound up at W&M, don't know why he left.

Yeah because Waterbury is so sweet lol.........

At Meriden he would have gone to Maloney and played for a very good but very tough coach, not sure he thought that was bets for his kid!!

There is a really good bake shop in Waterbury. Sometimes its the little things that attract us places...
 
Say wha? WOW. That's just absolutely crazy.

Thinking of Charles Smith and Harold Pressley now.

BAD DECISION.
 
Wow. His recruitment was quiet. Didn't see that one coming.

It'll be interesting to see how it ends up.

If your referring to Prince Ali, I don't think it's a real early decision. 2015ers are committing on a regular basis right now. 9 of the top 60 recruits in 2015 according to ESPN have already committed.

Mostly to players who commit while they're underclassmen in highschool. see the recruiting headaches in Indiana and Louisville this year. It would not surprise me if he opened his recruiting up later, most players like to be courted during the summer eval periods

Exactly. A lot can change at schools on 3, 4, or 5 years. Leron Black, Quentin Snider, Trey Lyles, and James Blackmon Jr. are four big names that did this in 2014.
 
Eh, I'm sure many coaches will start focusing elsewhere, and this kid may become the next great NBA guard/wing to come out of the Pitt program, just like that last great Pitt NBA guard/wing. You know, that kid.
 
Pitt is a good program in a good conference and Dixon is a good college coach but I thought Heron was either Florida bound or UNC/UK/KU/etc. if not UConn. Seems like a rash decision for a high school sophomore to commit to his first unoficial visit.

I was joking. I have no idea who you are talking about. I can't think of a Pitt NBA guard. As a matter of fact, I believe they have never had one. I know Knight was a good Pitt player, but he never made it in the NBA.

He's talking about Rudy Gays backup when Rudy was on the Grizzlies, forgot his name. Was on the same team as Blair.

At the age of 36. He seriously looked to be in his 30's in college.

Especially surprised since this was not going to be his only major suitor. The kid is on all the lists as being a top 25 kid in his class....Dixon must have wowed him or he did this to reduce the amount of communciations from other coaches.....

Don't think this story is finished with this news.....
 
Pitt fan here... Pitts assistant coach "Slice" has a relationship with his dad. They played together in Poland. You never know with kids who commit this early. They did answer that question in an article though.

Heron said they watched film and Pitt live and that he feels he is a great fit in the offense. I believe Pitt sold him on him basically being a point forward like Patterson plays now for Pitt. They told him he could bring the ball up at times, play off the ball, and even post up.

He said he committed early because he really liked the coaches, players, and how he fit in the offense. He also said he did not want to deal with the daily calls etc that go with his recruiting. His dad also said he wanted his son playing for someone he knew because then he knew he would be taken care of.

Knight torched us worse, many Pitt players torched us, but the fact stands, no Pitt guards did anything in the NBA. Knight didn't even score a point. Young was a 6-7 small forward who isn't even in the NBA anymore.

Good for him. It's not always about basketball but more important to be comfortable where you are and with those you trust. Very similar to Daniel Hamilton.
 
Heron has been to 3 high schools in one year and a half. He is currently at Sacred Heart HS, in WTBY, CT. , after transfering in middle of school year, from a prep school in Mass. Next year, his junior year, he will transfer to Brewster Academy, in New Hampshire. I doubt very much he will stay committed to Pitt.
