He'll be pretty good as long as he continues to grow.

Does "good" mean D1? Maybe we should offer him...

I'll try and dig up some info on him after school....maybe a video or something.

He's good but to young to offer right now. Give him a chance to be a starter against other HS players with responsibility to run a team. He's at Linn Mar.

Here he is, about half way down the page. Rated 29th in his class per hoopscoop online. Player Profiles

Well, not to disappoint you, but it might happen...might, has not happened yet.

From what I have heard, he sounds worthy of an offer. BTW, does Tavian Pomlee have an offer yet? He is definitely good enough, and is already a 6'5" guard who can score. Paige sounds really good. Maybe GMAC can pull a Ryan Boateng, like USC, and get a committ in 8th grade. Remember, Jordan Dykstra committed before his freshman year.

He's in all these pictures, his team seems pretty darn good, especially since they sometimes play up a level.

If we are going to start talking about the class of 2012, does anyone have any information on Cole and Cory Meyers?

They are twin brothers from Ankeny, play on Sullivan's team and both were ranked in the top 10 players in the state for their class according to some ranking last year. Cory will be a PG if he plays DI, and he reminds me a lot of Ryan Sears (former Creighton starting PG). Cole also has good handles, but he is more likely to play SG if he grows sufficiently.

I am just interested in whether they are getting any national consideration and whether ISU is in the EARLY mix. To be clear, I don't believe they will be signing with anyone for a few years.

Why, in God's name, would that disappoint me?

Too young...wasn't attacking you

It kinda worries me when we are projecting 8th graders. I mean, I think back to my 8th grade AAU team and we we're really good, I hardly played, but thats another story. We had two guys end up all tournament team and finished top 5 at Nationals, neither wound up playing outside Juco ball and most of all, neither grew an inch. We had a 6'5" post dominate, but he was one of those guys that grew early and stopped. He played a little Juco ball but that was it. We had another guard who was the same boat. 6'1" in 8th grade and everyone thought he would keep growing. By the time we were juniors he wasn't even playing basketball anymore and ended up playing college baseball.
