Ragin' Cajun Blog: Basketball recruiting update (Oct. 20)

[moorecajun]

_ Yes, Long has a qualifying ACT score and is on pace to be eligible. Tough to say why some schools are on Long and some aren't. Recruiting can be tough to understand, largely because most programs are looking for different things, skill sets, etc.

The Cajuns have some guys in other states on their radar. Just haven't written about them yet. Not enough sleepless nights.

Much more will become clear recruiting-wise in the next few weeks. Stay tuned.

I think Jay can recommend a place in Alabama to stay to inrease the sleepless nights!

I stayed there, too, so I'm aware of the beautiful Madison Hotel.

Hey Parrott-What the hell is going on at WKU with their recruiting??------Heard that they are in the top 20 in USA!!!

[Parrott]

Coach Ken McDonald was a hell of a recruiter when he was an assistant at Texas. Helped the Longhorns land Kevin Durant and D.J. Augustin. He has tremendous ties all over the country having played at Providence and coached at Clemson, Georgia and Texas. It also helps that he can offer almost immediate playing time given that WKU has little depth right now and its top two players this season are seniors.

I've got some more basketball recruiting news. Might not get around to it until the weekend, though, because of football.

Thanks for the updates.

Is there any chance we can land a legit, if not at least decent, center?

St. Thomas Aquinas point guard Zaveral "Zay" Jackson has verbally committed to Murray State, according to a source close to him.

Tough loss. Probably a product of Murray's success and Billy Kennedy being in Hammond for seven years.
