Go down to 18 July update. Sounds like we are putting the heavy press on this kid.

[RoyalShock]

The level of interest doesn't appear to be mutual. No mention of wanting to visit.

That can always change, however.

This kid is obviously in my back yard. I have seen him many times and he can definitely play. His biggest upside is ability to get off the floor in a nano-second.

I haven't mentioned a WSU connection, not thinking there was any mutual interest.

He always has the local recruiters (UD, UC, WSU & Miami) at his games (his HS team played in a fairly competitive Summer league).
It goes without saying, but there wasn't any signs of a certain Black & Yellow in the stands.

Obviously, this is long shot for WSU but stranger things have happened. 8)

Hawkins is a Rival's 3 star, is their 35th ranked PF and #142 overall.

Happy Birthday Deontae Hawkins!

According to the Dayton Daily News Hawkins will visit WSU, Tennessee, Georgia and Auburn. However he is warming up to staying near home for Dayton. Nickname is Teddy.

If he leaves the city is will be a shock, let alone the state.

Miller has been all over him as of late and is talking about pairing him with his HS running mate.

If he even visits, Ford & Heier should get a raise. 8)

If we could sign this guy, we'd have Freddie, Ede, and Teddy in the 2012 recruiting class.

"A few schools are already starting to stand out to Hawkins as he gets ready to finish up the recruiting process.

"The schools I like the most right now are Dayton, Georgia, Auburn, Alabama, and West Virginia. I like all of them but not in any particular order just yet," said Hawkins."

6-foot-7/2012/SF/Teddy Hawkins mentioned Alabama, UNLV, Wichita St, WVU, Dayton, Miami-FL, Georgia, Tennessee, LSU, Auburn, Ohio U & OSU.

Shocks are in Hawkins final four with Auburn, Alabama and Dayton. He will visit Auburn this week and Dayton on September 15th. He says he has no clear leader. Miami (FL) and LSU have also offered and West Virginia is recruiting. The Shockers have also offered Andre Yates, and IMO that could be a package offer along with Hawkins.

I was starting to think the Shockers might be out of the picture for Teddy Hawkins. Apparently that is not the case. Although he "loved everything" about his visit to Dayton last weekend, he did not commit. His visit to Wichita State is set for September 30th to October 2. He will also visit West Virginia.

The most interesting aspect of 2012 recruiting in the near future is probably seeing if Hawkins still visits.
