Interesting tidbits on Orr's recruits

I normally don't get into stuff for next year while still in season... but I came across this on ESPN's recruiting page and thought I'd share it with the flock...

Good descriptions. I can see McElroy getting some heavy minutes next year because of his ability to rebound. Just like Scott Thomas is this year. As for Kraus it will remain to be seen if he could crack the rotation as a freshman. Our guards will be as following:
Graves
JoJak
Goins
Thomas
Brown

What's up with Darren Goodson? Both ESPN and Scout have him committed to BG.

Is he the guy who committed and then ran into trouble with the law?

I like Kraus. I think he can be a great guard coming off the bench behind Jakubowski for 2 years, then being a 2 year starter at the point

Goodson was falsely accused and the charges were dropped. Not sure if the coaches will still bring him in or not. I am from Cincy and the kid has good grades and is qualified for Division 1 basketball. He has having a great season down here averaging about 16 point and roughly 6 boards. I guess we will see this spring what the staff does about him.

What about Dee Brown wasn't he supposed to be the backup point? Hasn't played much this season will he leave?

From people that i know in findlay, i've only heard bad things about krauss...bad attitude, bad work ethic, and he doesn't have anybody else around him, which is why his numbers look so big. I'm hoping this isn't the case and I actually plan on going down to findlay high to watch a game just so i can see for myself.

check out miamis recruits. And Akron has a 92 rated center. The MAC remains competative.

The kid Akron got was getting offers from Big East schools. It is a very nice get for Akron. He was told he can play right away and it is under a two hour drive for his mom to see him play.
