JT3 is taking in Boo Williams right now. That's a good thing as Troy Williams is becoming a hot commodity.

So at the Peach Jam there were 3 games in the morning and 3 games in evening. Each team plays once per session. Here is the J3 tracker: AM Game 1 - Not sure Game 2 - Team Takeover Game 3 - Playaz PM Game 1 - Team Takeover Game 2- Boo Williams Game 3 - Not sure, I think he left I thought it was interesting that he didn't see DSR or Noel but both listed Georgetown as one of the first schools out of their mouths when asked about it. I wasn't asking leading questions either. A bunch of "media" types only ask about the school they care about which doesn't give you a good idea as to what the kid is actually thinking. Kirby is harder to keep track of. He was watching Boo one time by himself as well as the Texas team that Julius Randle is on. I saw Troy Williams play in a high school state playoff game in February against TC Williams and I wasn't that impressed. After watching parts of his two of his game today, I'm singing a different song. EXPLOSIVE. He may have missed a bunch around the rim in the second game but he was attempting some pretty sick put back dunks out of nowhere. Haven't heard of JTIII being at any of noels games this summer...anyone else concerned as this is supposedly one of our "priority" prospects??

He's not at his game right now either. He's watching Team Takeover again.
Of course that didn't stop Noel from listing the Hoyas yesterday

I talked to Noel today. He said he didn't have a list but would like to trim it down to 15 after this tournament. I swear I read something yesterday where he named schools.

JT3 saw three games today. Playaz, Boo, then Takeover.
The next round of 3 games doesn't start until 6.
I'm guessing he watches Boo vs Indy. He can see DSR if he does that.
He will have a choice to make in the 2nd game as both Takeover and Playaz play at the same time - around 715pm.

There are obvious reasons for III watching Playaz so frequently (see Anderson, Kyle), but should we potentially take it as a hint that we're deeply involved with Davis as well? Potentially announcing by the end of the week. Our head coach has been at a few of his games this week so far. I'm just wondering where Myles plays into all of this.

JT3 went with the Playaz over Team Takeover in the 2nd game of the night. He was actually able to take in the last few minutes of the TT's big comeback win.
3 also went in and took in about a half of the Mac Irvin Fire (IL) vs All Iowa Attack (IA) game after skipping out early on the Boo game.
I don't see him at any of these last games right now, but that doesn't mean that he isn't here. I just dont feel like trying to find him and watch what's going on at the same time.
BTW, I didn't see it but Kyle Anderson's team took it on the chin tonight.

Nerlens Noel had 13 points, 12 BLOCKS and 10 boards in a win over CIA Bounce tonight.
stay on that kid to the very end. Don't land him, fine, it might happen...but I'd exhaust all energy/resources on trying.

Didn't list us as early calls to him during the contact period and III hasn't been reported at any of his games. Granted we're relying on second hand reports but with the amount of people covering these things they're pretty informative of who's there watching who and he hasn't been mentioned which I find odd...is it possible we're not recruiting him?

I think (just my opinion) that we're focusing on 2012 guys and trusting that there will be plenty of time to show a '13 guy the love in the fall and next year.

I'd be shocked if we weren't, his recruitment is still in the very early stages. Remember III did drop in on him at Tilton back in early May..doubt any recruitment of him has lessened since then.
Devonta Pollard played at the Peach State Showcase today in Aiken, SC...and from the sound of it, III found time in the break in Peach Jam action to catch a game of his..
scoutsfocus: Texas full staff, UCONN, John Thompson,scott drew,trent johnson, Kentucky, Miss St are all here to see Devonta Pollard.

If the Hoyas want Noel perhaps they should do it "right" this time. Bring in the big boys. Have him take a visit with at least four of these former players on campus at the time to sell him on what it means to be a big man at Gtown : Ewing, Mourning, Mutombo, Harrington, Reid, White, Boumtje Boumtje, Sweetney, Hibbert, Monroe. At least four. Logistics could be tough but it is still can be done (although obviously it would best to have this visit during September before the NBA camps start). Let's not repeat the results of Christmas and Ochefu.

Through two days of Peach Jam action, JT3 hasn't been over to see Noel play. What that means, I'm not sure. Take it for what you want.

Allen could that have been JR? Thanks for all the reports guys! Who knows what JTIII has told Noel, maybe Noel knows he is our top '13 priority but atm JTIII has to focus on '12. Have we had any assistants watching Nerlens?
Also, any chance you guys are keeping stats too? ;D
