My little brother goes to school with Markel at Georgetown Prep. He told my brother he may decide tonight. If he does, it's between Georgetown and Stanford with Gtown having the lead (I believe). Just giving y'all a heads up.

That would be AWESOME.
Many of the people I've talked to who have seen the DC kids play seem to think he's the best '10 guard out there and the one with the most potential.

VERY interesting news. Couple GREAT options for him.
But if he wants basketball success, not much question which one he should choose. The Hoyas are proven. Stanford has a brand new, totally unproven coach and a TON of recruiting to do to get back to the top.

I chose Georgetown personally -- more interesting in DC than Palo Alto. But basketball wise, we're going to be a lot better than them.

C'mon Dwayne... bring him home.
I imagine Starks has been hanging with the guys and playing at GU much like Roy did a few years back. He has to know all the kids on the team. And he has to see how top DC guards have been choosing GU.
This is sounding good!

I wasn't trying to get your hopes up that this is done/happening tonight, just a rumor out of Prep. Wake was in the running for a while, but we locked up Tony Chenault for 2010. Starks is a top 5 pg IMO, so it'd be great if Gtown could lock him up. I don't want him in the ACC.
If it doesn't happen tonight, I still hear Gtown is in a strong position.

Having seen him play, I've said all along I'd rather have him than Tyler Thornton....He is a quick point, who sees the floor well, and can really drive and dish well. i saw him play with Yarou at an event and was very very impressed with Starks most of all.

If we could get Starks it would be a great get. A local top 5-10 PG from a strong high school program. combine that with jason morris, roscoe smith, lubick/jones/harris and we have a strong 2010 class.

That's not a strong class -- that's a ridiculous class.

The kid is nasty .. his pull-up is serious and his handle is like a yo-yo ... I hope we can get Markel - along with Morris .. Roscoe and Harris .. thats an OUTSTANDING CLASS!!
