I guess that we really meant it when we said, “Recruiting, Recruiting Everywhere”. After spending a few minutes on Chris Wright this weekend, the N&O makes it easy to spend a few minutes on Jamelle McMillan today. (See McMillan’s Scout.com Profile) One thing that I did NOT like reading was the following part about fans […]

’06 ACC BBall Recruiting Rankings
The Fayetteville Observer has definitely earned their keep in recent weeks with some valuable information and articles.

He averaged 17.8 points per game last season while leading Greensboro Day to the […]

I found […]
