Recruiting...Nick Williams mention

[BigSky]

Dave Telep passing along that Nick Williams and Jamychal Green had strong tourneys at the Boo Williams Invitational this past weekend.  Crediting Green's work ethic against multiple top big men...and Williams' improved 3 point shooting.  He also added another point guard that has heard from MU/that MU is keeping an eye on....David Forrest out of Alpharetta Georgia, Georgia All-Stars.

1) From Rivals.com:

MARIETTA, GA - The second annual Georgia Hoops Fall Showcase is in the books and the class of 2007 and 2008 provided several of the top players of the event. Four-star forward Chris Singleton played head and shoulders above the crowd and a host of others emerged from the loaded event.

Best of the Rest

David Forest, Alpharetta HS – The 5-foot-10, 150-pound junior point guard used the camp to help springboard his name into the public eye. Forest was one of the top point guards in the camp. He showed of a great knack for scoring the rock and handling the ball under control. His speed allowed him to keep defenders on tilt because he can explode into the paint or knock down a step jumper. Forest did a good job of getting into the lane and then dropping off passes for scores from his bigs and wings.
