Averaging 13 10 and 2 blocks for Soldiers... He looks like an explosive athlete and strong finisher in the post. Would like to see how he does playing on the perimeter and how his handle and shooting are at this point. Might be tough to just be an athlete and post player at 6'7" at a high major D1 program. His Dad was able to do excel as a somewhat undersized power forward but not many players come along that can do what his Dad did. His Dad was beast!!!!

He was intimidating, tough as hell and an elite competitor.

When I saw E.J. Liddell during the high school season, he dominated on both ends of the floor with his offense, shot blocking and rebounding. So far this spring, Liddell had shown glimpses of the production that got him ranked in the national top 50 but he had been a bit inconsistent.
This weekend, consistency has not been an issue for Liddell. He was impressive on Friday night against MoKan Elite and then on Saturday he was super productive in his Bradley Beal Elite team's win over James Wiseman and the Bluff City Legends. Liddell is quick off the floor and creates a mismatch problem as a combo forward.
Illinois, Missouri, Iowa State, Iowa, Ohio State, Kansas State, UConn, Louisville, Georgetown and more remain involved.

Kid is still putting it together, but you can see his upside is tremendous. Jamal Mashburn Jr is his AAU teammate fwiw.

Boggie Ellis 6'2" PG Oakland Soldiers I believe is open to other offers. Maybe can create that Oakland connection.

Seems like even though they are handing out offers still for 2019, they are on a couple guys really hard they think they can get and want. Seems Stewart, Cockburn, Whitney are the main ones they are showing love to by reports.

Francis Okoro will most likely reclassify into the 2018 class. His recruitment is a little murkier, but we do know a few things. The top-50 prospect has already taken official visits to Oregon and Purdue, and Illinois remains in the mix, too. The Boilermakers had gained some major ground over the past few weeks and with Okoro’s close proximity to the West Lafayette campus and Matt Painter's success with big men, the Boilermakers may be the team to beat. The Ducks should not be counted out, though. Oregon has become known for landing highly-regarded talent late in the recruiting cycle, just as it has over in recent years with the addition of transfers Elijah Brown and MiKyle McIntosh. Okoro could make a commitment at any time, with Purdue and Oregon looking like the two favorites. Francis Okoro committed to Oregon

He looks like he could've reclassified to 2012.

Edit: Originally put this in the wrong thread. E.J. Liddell, PF, Brad Beal Elite – Liddell was one of the most consistent performers all weekend long. Using his trademark high energy style, Liddell was a force both scoring and rebounding. While he isn’t the biggest player, Liddell does defend his position very well, and can switch ball screens which is huge. Beyond that he is as tough as they come, and raises the level of his teammates play because of it. Liddell is really good. Best player in Illinois this past season. He's going to be an excellent college player and because he doesn't have the measurables, he'll stick around. He's undersized but he makes up for it in effort and court awareness.
