Nice to see some of our recruits teams are still playing in their respective tourneys.
I understand that Blue's team is playing for the Wisc. title.
Crowder's team is playing for the NJCAA D1 title tonight.
Anybody know how the other recruits teams fared? Smith, Jones and Newbill?
Newbill's team won today and advanced to the AA semifinals.
Senior guard Devonte Newbill led the way for Mansion with 19 points, four rebounds and four assists, including 7-of-9 shooting from the field. The Marquette recruit made all four of his three-point attempts.

Smith's team was eliminated in early March
Jones' team hasn't played (to my knowledge) since early February but will be playing in the ESPN National HS Invitational starting April 1.
