'11 IN PF Justin Gant (11/12/2010, LOI)

WANTED: Passionate Sycamore Fanatics. That You?

Register NOW to join our community of die-hard Sycamore fans.

I am told Gant played very well at the Spiece tournament in Ft. Wayne this past weekend. Also, I can confirm that Xavier is not very interested in Justin as well. No offer, but expect one by the middle of the summer if he continues to play well.

Do you have a feel for how interested Justin is in Indiana State???

xfactor...can we assume you meant to say that Xavier is interested instead of not interested in Justin? That's what it sounds like at least when you read your last sentence.
 
I can confirm that Xavier is very interested in him, and he is very interested in them, at least when Miller was there. He took another job, but I would imagine they would still like him.

ITF I would imagine he is very interested in Indiana State. I don't have any factual information. But common sense would suggest that he will give us a pretty good look.

Sells:
Local recruiting efforts (Playing with guys he already knows very well)
Playing Time (He will have the oppertunity to play right away)
Close to Home (He goes to all ISU home games)
MVC Conf. (About as good of College Hoops Conf. as he will be able to play in)

I have a good feeling about this...

I expect Xavier to turn up the heart on their Indiana recruiting now that Travis Steele is an Assistant (Was Director of Basketball under Miller). Miller's head recruiter, Chris Mack, is now the Head Coach at Xavier.

Well, if we can't get him we may have to recruit outside of the county. It appears that we will try to sign two bigs this next class. I'm hoping for a couple of good ones. Having Kelly won't hurt our chances.
 
Were you there X? Any details on how he did? I have made a couple of calls from people I know who went, just waiting to hear.

I know Thomas Anderson from THN plays on the Eric Gordon 17u team as does Jarvis from South. Any reports on them would be good also.

Yup,

I paid special attention to most of the X recruits, but I can go back and look at my notes. Do you know what jersey number Anderson and Jarvis were? I put jersey numbers down only for some people.

Gant had a sprained ankle (from my perspective), but shot very well from the perimeter. He had more of a post game than I was expecting, but I was hoping for a better rebounding performance (ankle probably didn't help in that area). If I compared him to someone who played at Xavier, I'd say he looked comparable to a Justin Doellman (Gant is taller). I don't know ISU well enough historically to give you a comparison to a player you might be familiar with. He's going to be a very good college player in my opinion.

It was one of my first ever camps, had a nice time.
 
One of my calls got returned. It was his hip tht was bothering him. He apparently got undercut on a dunk attempt and landed right on his hip.

Anderson was 42 and Jarvis 7 for the Gordon Elite 17u team. I saw the Gordon team made it to the Championship game for 17u.

Yup... that must have been it. Seemed to favor that side, so I took it as an ankle sprain.

I will look at my notes tonight on Jarvis and Anderson.

Unfortunately, I didn't take any legible notes of either player. It looks like I put a plus nect to Jarvis (i use a plus to denote a good game), but i didn't write anything down other than that. I'll try to get with the people I went with to see if they have anything better. Sorry. Neither were on my radar, unfortunately. I'll try to get a list of ISU recruits to watch for next time.

Not a probelm X, appreciate the info you post. Those 2 are local in Terre Haute and have been mentioned from time to time, Jarvis possibly having an offer, but then I heard it has been pulled. Anyone have more on that?

Anderson is a bit of a quandry, 6'6 nic epost moves, but at 6'6 you have to be more than a back to the basket guy. I know Evansville, Wright State , IPFW are the schools who have had some interest.
 
I've seen Anderson play a couple of times.. I'm not sure that he's big enough for the MVC... but he plays smart. I think he will excel on a team full of players that are "better" than him.. Hope that makes sense.
 
Gant played well in Bloomington. He is on a team that has a few selfish players, so he doesn't get the ball as much as he should.

He fell on his hip will finishing a layup and getting undercut. He bounced back to play a pretty good game. He moves well and rebounds pretty well. When given the opportunity, he has a good mid range jump shot.
 
Rivals has moved Indiana and Xavier to "High" Interest. We are still at "Medium." If this kid is as good as advertised, I would hate to lose him to anyone, but I'd especially hate to lose him to the Loosiers...:violent:
