Deontae Hawkins is a Shocker

Deontae scored 17 points in their win last night and go into post-season 20-0

Hawkins will be solid, but I wouldn't count him in the fold until he is officially academically eligible. (And, if he gets eligible one might wonder if he went the Derrick Rose route since kids that score an 8 on the ACT the first time through don't usually end up with the required score on subsequent test unless, of course, World Wide Wes is involved.) I'd also be a tad bit concerned about a kid that gets suspended from the team during the season.

Is this Creighton poster claiming to know his ACT score? Surely this basketball program wouldn't allow this information out. How low can you get?

Over the years, DJA has been one of my favorite CU posters. It seems that ever since the whooping in Omaha and Garrett suddenly being discussed (by other schools and ours) for MVC POY consideration, he's had a bug in his arse for anything relating to WSU.

sCUm also was recruiting DH and missed out because he couldn't qualify (reportedly).

You have to understand that admittance to a "private" school is more difficult because the academic standards are so much higher that the elite schools just can't recruit marginal academic players. So sayeth the private ones. Wasn't it cretin that had that basketball player finish his elegibility and was basicly illiterate? There had to be some explanation for that. Also P'unk really struck me as "gifted" or was it just "special" oh never mind.

I believe his name was Kevin Ross for anyone interested...

Wow, nice find. That's an utterly incredible story

BUBravesBlogger put out false info yesterday, questioning Teddy's signing with the Shockers. He is mixing up Javaonte Hawkins with Teddy. Two different people. If you hear this rumor, give it no mind.

Teddy Hawkins and Dayton Dunbar moved to 25-0.
They play their next game sometime today.

Here is a link to their schedule:

Dunbar beat Thurgood Marshall on Thursday, who is the other really good team in the area.

Teddy had a good game on the boards & defensively, but Dunbar did not shoot the ball particularly well.

Dunbar plays Cincy Taft in the Regional Final to go to State.
This will be a big time test for Teddy, as Taft has a number of big time athletes, including Adolphus Washington, an OSU football recruit who stands 6'6" & weighs in at 265#.

Although a football guy, Washington is a very good basketball player too.

Dunbar moves to 26-0 with an 81-59 win.

Congrats to Hawkins! I'm really excited about his arrival in Wichita!

[Ta town]

Hopefully we hear something on his academics soon, until I see he has improved I'm going to assume he doesn't make it here.

Jans says he's good to go!
