The last few weeks have been the slow time for basketball recruiting. Soon, college coaches will be able to attend open gyms and the recruiting activity will pick up once again. Last year, we were able to make it to many open gyms around the Indianapolis area and we will try to expand our coverage this year.

Here is an update on what has been happening in the recruiting world lately...

Trevor Thompson, 6'10" F/C, formerly of Ben Davis (2012) and now prepping at St. John's Northwestern Military Academy verbally committed to Virginia Tech. Thompson improved tremendously over the last year and his size and agility is hard to find. He also had an offer from Tennessee.

Mike Crawford, 6'5" SF Tipton 2013, has an official visit to the University of New Orleans set for next weekend (September 14th). He also expects to have an official visit to Yale September 21st. Crawford planned on taking an official visit to Stetson a couple weeks ago, but had it cancelled after they took a commitment from another prospect.
