I honestly think we're due to lose one or two of them. We lost Sledge last year when he realized he would probably never see the court at ISU. SO what does he do? Transfers to Iona where he starts immediately. I don't think it's unreasonable to think Okoro and/or Long may do the same.

Recap from Swish 'N Dish a few ISU interest in attendence.

Lamonte Bearden - 2014 - PG - WI Swing
6-2 – Germantown HS - Germantown, WI
Bearden commanded the floor expertly much of the game against D-Rose. He finished with 11 points and 8 assists, but impressed all watching with how smooth and effective he was running determining tempo, creating plays and finishing with contact. Put some flare to the court at times which was exciting and mostly controlled.

Darrell Davis – 2014 – SG – REACH Legends
6-3 – Detroit Frederick Douglas HS – Detroit, MI

Davis had a big second half and finished with 16 points in a loss to Quad City Elite. The 6-3 guard was hitting from 3-point range in the second half and penetrating the lane well.

Cody Schwartz – 2015 – F – Wisconsin Blizzard
6-8 – West De Pere HS – De Pere, WI

Schwartz scored 18 points for the Blizzard in their win over Quad City Elite. The sophomore was active throughout the game on both ends of the floor. Schwartz runs very well in transition and is comfortable handling the ball
Cody Schwartz has offers from Creighton, Northern Iowa, and Wisconsin-Green Bay. Iowa, Iowa State, and Wisconsin are expressing interest.

Melvin Ejim tweeted a shout-out to his little brother, Kenny Ejim, this morning.

https://twitter.com/M3llyM3I/status/322358999687245824

The tweet includes a link to a Youtube highlight video of Kenny. The video lists Kenny as a 6'5" SG/SF in the Class of 2013. Melvin said, "Check out my lil bro, he's got heart and potential! Plays a lil like me lol."

I searched for a Rivals page on him but couldn't find one. Does anyone know about Kenny Ejim's future plans? I would love to see him in cardinal and gold.

I watched the video and the kid looks almost like a clone of his brother in his looks as well as how he plays, just a little younger and less polished. He's got about the same size, looks to have a high motor, high tenacity, very athletetic, nearly the exact same shot as his brother (maybe worse and even same is not necessarily a good thing), and is more of a face up than back to the basket player.

Again, while he looks similar, he still has some needed development to hit his brother's level, partiularly by way of strength and finishing ability. Over the years, Melvin has truly turned into a physical beast with some of the best finishing skills around the basket I've seen (minus the dunk disaster vs Notre Dame). The kid has potential in my mind though.

Would be great to have him as a walkon with potential to earn a scholly. Doubt he would do that though unless he has no offers.

It would be really really cool to have him on the team at the same time as Melvin. Doubt it happens but the kid definitely has potential.

He better not go to Baylor. But my guess is Drew probably has a fat check with Vaughn's name waiting for it.

That only answers "Why not ISU and UNC?"

Because he wants to visit with all of the coaches before making a decision. Maybe it means that his list is now down to 5 schools, which could be further reduced if these visits don't go well.

But wait, according to UNC sources, UNC is the clear cut favorite. Why would he visit with anyone else?
