"The 5-foot-11 four-star point guard totaled 22 points, 14 assists, three steals, three rebounds and just four turnovers in Oak Hill's 105-75 win over Massanutten Military Academy. Lewis knocked down 4-of-5 3-point attempts as well."

oh my god, could this kid be even better than we thought?

10/23/2011 7:02:55 PM

I need to go see Oak Hill this year, I live about 15 miles away and try to go see them play if we've got any potential recruits.

Their gym is really tiny. I mean I went to a high school with about 400 students, and we have two gyms with much higher seating capacity than Oak Hill.

10/23/2011 7:08:31 PM

Who is Brice Johnson down to? State, Clemson, Florida, and UNC? I know a few weeks back there was some article saying UF and UNC were leading. Hopefully that's changed.

Definitely go see them if you live that close. I went and saw Tyler Lewis play in a Forsyth Country Day game last season. He played with so much swagger then, I can't imagine how he looks now with D-1 talent surrounding him.

Tyler Purvis Summer HiGhLigHts:

10/24/2011 9:39:22 AM

Purvis looks good, before we start drooling all over our own guys highlights I think everybody should check out UNCs next point guard, this guy looks nasty http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNTg5HL2-Y8&feature=related . i usually hate all UNC commits just out of principal but this guy can play.

10/24/2011 9:48:32 AM

Purvis's hIgHligHTs are A LOT more impressive (although we'll have to wait and see how they perform in college)

10/24/2011 9:53:58 AM

Purvis is more of a beast and his body will be ready, but Paige has that CP3/Steph Curry feel to his game..ball control and smooth shot. They'll both be good, I'm just glad we're building some quality guard depth.

what "State" game was he watcing on 10/15? we had a bye week.

What's up this Terry Henderson dude who in announcing today? Seems like a fall back type recruit.

Pretty easy to look good in a scrimmage in which nobody put a hand in his face on a single shot. Just saying...

10/24/2011 2:43:06 PM

Haha, I just realize that in my earlier post I confused Rodney Purvis with our football player Tyler Purvis. (and we'll have two "Tyler"s on the b-ball team next year)

10/24/2011 2:49:39 PM

^^^He committed to WVU, not sure if we were still trying to land him after Purvis pulled the trigger.

10/24/2011 3:09:27 PM

^especially with White and Warren still showing us interest

maybe he meant UNC again

10/24/2011 8:24:44 PM

just from looking at brice johnson's scout.com strengths and weaknesses, there is no doubt in my mind whatsoever that this kid is going to unc.

10/24/2011 8:33:06 PM

he sure does look like a somewhat smaller, (maybe) more athletic henson

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQzSVYFmZw0(posted earlier)

he'd be an awesome pick-up, but he'd surprise a lot of people in he chose NCSU. He'll be playing for Donovan

[Edited on October 24, 2011 at 9:23 PM. Reason : ]

10/24/2011 9:22:11 PM

Purvis looks way better than Paige. Are they even remotely comparable?

Although Purvis appears to have only adequate ball handling skills.

[Edited on October 24, 2011 at 10:48 PM. Reason : Has to be UNC rating inflation going on]

10/24/2011 10:38:17 PM

Looks like it's down to UNC and Florida for Brice Johnson

he definitely plays out of control. hopefully he can reel that in a bit.

10/25/2011 1:59:35 PM

Paige is pretty mediocre. Purvis is definitely way better. Paige is like 5'11" 150 lbs.

10/25/2011 2:04:26 PM

i want Amile. badly.

10/25/2011 4:14:26 PM

maybe he got a pm from gunzz

10/25/2011 4:15:13 PM

From Pack Pride's twitter account, they got it from his AAU coach.

10/25/2011 4:22:44 PM

I thought mod's were supposed to not only ride together, but die together as well

Seems to be some dissension in the ranks...

10/25/2011 4:32:47 PM

well..he picked UNC

10/26/2011 9:04:12 AM

I strongly dislike him.

"Brice Johnson held the the suspense until 9:00 a.m. Then the 6-foot-9, 195-pound power forward out of Cordova (S.C.) Edisto announced his college choice via Twitter. "I will be a UNC Tar Hell," Johnson tweeted. North Carolina now has four commitments in the 2012 class. Johnson joins three four-star prospects in Marcus Paige, Joel James and J.P. Tokoto. Johnson also strongly considering Florida and North Carolina State. He took official visits to both schools. During the summer Johnson improved his play and really drew the eye of college coaches in July at the Nike Peach Jam. Johnson is a bouncy forward that blocks shots, runs the floor and can step out and shoot mid-range jump shots. Johnson finished the summer regarded as a four-star prospect and ranked No. 46 overall in the 2012 recruiting class."

ahhh hahahahaha

6' 9", 195.... Holy shit.

Sucks he picked unc....who are our main targets now? Warren, Jefferson, White...anyone else?

10/26/2011 9:57:12 AM

Sounded like a long shot at best - Jefferson, White and Warren were the guys we'd been in on for a lot longer. Getting at least one of them would be awesome, but two of them would be .

You guys are going to get Warren. UNC is only taking 4 in 2012 and, with Johnson's commitment, we are now full and moving on to 2013.

10/26/2011 12:34:07 PM

So you think Warren was down to UNC and NC State, but UNC isn't going to take him now?

10/26/2011 12:36:08 PM

Warren is set to announce next Wednesday.

10/26/2011 12:39:05 PM

Come on TJ!

10/26/2011 12:43:09 PM

Dave Telep just tweeted that Warren is down to us and Georgetown.

10/26/2011 12:47:53 PM

i don't see how you can possibly commit to georgetown right now. you'll be playing in cusa by your senior season.

10/26/2011 1:06:43 PM

Yeah, I like our odds against Georgetown much better than against UNC.

That's BS. If he's not considering UNC anymore, it's because of his choice, not that UNC quit recruiting him because they were full. He doesn't even compare to any of their recruits for this class. Don't pull that shit.

"A decision from Brewster Academy (NH) forward T.J. Warren is coming soon. The five-star wing prospect will announce his college choice next Wednesday. Warren confirmed the news with Scout.com. Warren took a recent official visits to Georgetown, North Carolina and North Carolina State. When asked who he would decide between, Warren said, "Georgetown and N.C. State." Warren is ranked No. 22 overall in the 2012 recruiting class UNC has pulled there last scholarship and will hold for 2013. "

[Edited on October 26, 2011 at 1:56 PM. Reason : apparently, it's not bullshit]

10/26/2011 1:54:47 PM

I meant that its bullshit that UNC dropped Warren, and not the other way around.

UNC is trying to spin it that they are out of schollies, yet they are still recruiting Mitch McGary. And there is no way that one of their guys doesn't leave early next year (or there is some kind of other defection). There is a reason McGary is still being recruited.

Roy wanted Warren...Warren didn't want UNC.

10/26/2011 2:04:06 PM

^exactly

Warren is a Top 20 talent.

10/26/2011 2:11:20 PM

Well that's good news for us then. I don't think it's bullshit if it helps State and makes UNC look bad. Keep it up Tarholes. The NCAA isn't far from your basketball program.
