Justin Gant is a 6'8 forward from Terre Haute North who the good Mongrel is really high on. Gant has range, has a little bit of a handle, and really is comfortable battling underneath. He plays with Plumlee and Zeller for Indiana Elite Orange in the summers, so he gets overshadowed sometimes but Gant is a solid high major prospect in his own right. He was at Michigan for the big victory over Notre Dame on the gridiron this weekend. Gant is setting up a visit to Wisconsin as well. http://blogs.indystar.com/recruitingcentral/2009/09/gant-visits-mic.html
Notre Dame and Indiana just received commitments from Dematha, Maryland stars last week but both are working hard to add an even better player from the same school to their 2011 class. Over the weekend Quinn Cook was one of the many stars at Ohio State's close loss to USC. Cook says he and Bradley Beal were getting pressured by OSU's 2010 kids to commit but he didn't give in. http://w3.nbebasketball.com/2009/09/14/qa-with-quinn-cook-on-osu-visit-recruiting/
Medina, Ohio sophomore Ken Kaminski has received offers from Michigan State and Indiana per seperate twitters from ONPSS and Highmajorscoop.
Alex Foster is one of the biggest names in the 2013 class. The 6'7 power forward from Chicago just received an offer from Matt Painter at Purdue. Foster is one of the few kids in the country special enough to have multiple high major offers as Illinois and Purdue have offered him before he ever plays a game in high school. Ohio State and Indiana have also recruited him heavily this summer.

Rock Island point guard Chason Randle is fresh off his visit to Ohio State on a big football weekend. He appears to be ready to schedule a couple of more big football weekend visits. Randle will be at Purdue for the Notre Dame football game and plans on visiting Illinois for their home game against Michigan. I'm still hearing Purdue is in good shape with Randle. Here's a link on Randle's recruitment. http://ilprepbullseye.com/page40.html
Jody Demling has an update on some weekend visits for Louisville, Kentucky, and Indiana. http://www.courier-journal.com/blogs/demling/2009/09/weekend-visits-update.html Nothing new in there, the upcoming UK visit next weekend from Brandon Knight and Stacey Poole will be huge for the Wildcats. Knight is hosting Duke today for an in-home.
The poor confused Mongrel has been trying to keep up with the stunning amount of transfers happening across the country. Illinois, Kentucky, and Indiana especially have had so many transfers the last few months that I still don't know who is where. This excellent LA Times article makes us feel a little better since now we know everyone is in the same boat. Transfers are a touchy issue. You want to be in it for the kids, so its annoying to hear coaches whine about it when they play the same game and pilch each others players whenever they have a chance. Of course those coaches then all say its all about the kids. Parents should be able to do what is best for their kids, and kids who move shouldn't be subject to sitting out a year to protect the bureaucratic interest of state high school athletics boards. http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-sondheimer15-2009sep15,0,141588,full.column
