zagsblog.com/articles/beasley-bacon-win-mvps-at-big-strick-classic-blakeney-zimmerman-alkins-show-out/Dwayne Bacon, a 6-6 shooting guard from Oak Hill Academy (Va.), also took home co-MVP honors behind a 30-point performance in the loss. That included a dunk to cut the USA deficit to two with 10 seconds left. Bacon’s award was just another accolade to add to his big weekend. On Friday he scored 58 points to steal the show at the event’s scrimmage.
After Saturday’s game, he talked about his recruiting and what’s on the horizon. He will visit Florida State Sept. 5-7 and Tennessee Oct. 4-6, but with so many schools after him, is not ready to set a final list yet.
UNLV, SMU, Clemson are other schools he may visit.
“I’m not sure about anyone else right now,” he said. “I haven’t finalized any other dates.”
“I want to be comfortable from when I walk in,” Bacon added. “I want to be comfortable with the coach and hopefully give him something that no player has ever given him.”I doubt very much G'town is truly in play with him, we'll see how it plays out... We need a championship plan an simple can you deliver?

Dwayne Bacon Cuts to 10 Schools
Dwayne Bacon issued a Top 10 list on Friday night consisting of SMU, Oklahoma State, Florida State, South Florida, USC, Auburn, Tennessee, Georgetown, UNLV and Georgia Tech.
Bacon will visit Florida State Sept. 5-7 and Tennessee Oct. 4-6.
The 6-foot-6 Oak Hill Academy (Va.) shooting guard took home co-MVP honors last Saurday tin the Big Strick Classic in New York after putting up 30 points in the final. He also scored 58 points in the scrimmage the day before.
“I want to be comfortable [at a school] from when I walk in,” Bacon told SNY.tv. last week in New York.
Hope I did the link correctly.

With all the hand wringing, can't say the staff isn't giving it their best shot

Good news. No need for hand wringing. We're going to get some solid guards. We always do.
I trust JTIII on the recruiting trail. They are working it hard.

Visiting 9/12 h/t Bohlin. Wow. B&G, we got a shot? A good shot! The bacon recruitment has been a bit more mysterious ...the staff knows his worth but has been quiet about their pursuit of him. A 9/12 visit speaks volumes. 9/12 and 10/17 have been the visit dates we have been shooting for and they are coming around. While bacon would be an outstanding get...the staff is very well positioned with dozier. All good stuff.

9/12 - IAC Groundbreaking Day - what better way to dazzle these kids than with million $$ NBA donors.

I would think Bacon may also want to come on Midnight Madness to see his girlfriend introduced?? Regardless, excited to see he's visiting on a good day. I've always loved his size and skillset, but didn't think we had a great shot based on the type of other schools on his list. Hopefully, he'll prove me wrong...

I apologize for my lack of recruiting knowledge- I'm a novice at best- but how many officials do players get? If we're one of only a select few officials Bacon is allowed, then it would seem like we have a real chance here.

The maximum number of officials is 5, so yes, at minimum it usually indicates that the player has legitimate interest.
