The verbal of Lamar Patterson is a good start for the 2009 recruiting class.
The 6’5†wing, who can play both small forward and shooting guard at the college level, is an excellent outside shooter that can score from all over the floor, and he is very athletic. Others who offered included Penn State, Minnesota, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Miami and Michigan.
Right now, Patterson is a 3-star prospect according to the two primary recruiting sites. I expect that he will increase in “stars” as he gets more exposure.
He has good shooting range and scored 40 points in a game earlier this season. Hoopscoop.com ranks him as the 78th-best player in the Class of 2009, and 23rd among small forwards.
He was selected to participate in the Philly Rbk U camp this summer and made an impression at the U-16 tournaments. Lamar is also the younger brother of former Syracuse QB Perry Patterson.
Isn’t this a team we beat by 30 last year?
Like i said before, we “held” their one kid to 3 points over his average last year (21) and still won by 30.
I could understand a 15 point swing even, but 30? We’re only favored by 2.5 at some places? WTF?
how much do you think home court is worth? maybe 5pts? And blair is an upgrade over Gray- there is no arguing that. We win handily.
