Looks like we're "talking" per twitter. Not much out there on him to get excited about, except that it looks like Buzz won't give up on the Philly area. Holds some offers from some big-time schools per Rivals, but not sure how solid that is... seemed to be thinking Temple a few months ago. Only thing that worries me is that it looks like we are striking out on some of the top level p.guards and settling just to get someone in 2012. If we are going for it in 2013 it doesn't seem like we are in on many top flight pgs (per scout). Jaylon Tate seems like a possibility from Simeon, but is only 20th ranked pg in that class. Not that ratings mean anything, but unless one develops on the current roster (or TJ Taylor), we may be in for another year of a combo point guard in 2013.

If Buzz feels the need to recruit a point in this class and waits until the spring, a player who they may follow is 6-1 Adonis Filer at Notre Dame Prep. Filer was scouted by MU last year as a senior at Bishop Noll HS in Hammond, IN and played his first years of high school at Mount Carmel HS in Chicago.

I will say this...DayWalker would be a bad-ass nickname. Or we could just call him "Blade".
I know that Dunn is our top priority, but I really think we should get Ray Lee in for a visit. If the Dunn ship sails, we need a second option. It seems like UCF is the only other school heavily in on him, and if it's visited there, it might be hard to compete with the combination of the weather and the Jordans.
If we take a project in 2012, I'd much rather see a big than a guard. I know Buzz wants a PG in every class, but it seems we have a wealth of combo options for the 2013-14 season after Junior leaves and fewer guys there to potentially replace Otule/Gardner when they move on.
