I have also been hearing we may add a guard from Felicity Franklin high school.

Maverick Morgan remains one of Archie Miller's top targets in the HS Class of 2013. Maverick had an excellent junior-year season:

Dayton Staff Gets Jump on Recruiting (Matt Schwade, FlyerHoops - March 19, 2012)

With Dayton making a first round exit of the National Invitation Tournament last week, it allowed the Dayton coaches to get a jump on recruiting efforts that likely wouldn't have been possible if they had a second round matchup to prepare for and play.

While the loss to Iowa last Tuesday night might have stung Flyer fans momentarily, fans of Dayton recruiting are rejuvenated about the opportunity it afforded the UD coaching staff on the recruiting trails.

Flyers' Recruiting Targets: 2012 Wings and Combo Guards (Matt Schwade, FlyerHoops - March 15, 2012)

As seasons in both college and high school are closing, the heat is being turned up on recruiting. The Dayton Flyers have two scholarships available for the 2012 class still and look to be going hard on wings or combo guards.

Here's a list of the top prospects FlyerHoops.net is hearing that have been targeted by the Dayton staff and could play immediately this fall:

I think UD stands a good chance at landing Morgan. With Kavs and Benson graduating after next year, he could become a major player on our team by his sophomore year. We keep hearing that if OSU offers, that's where he'll go but these kids are going to start learning pretty quick that Matta is at best a 7 man rotation guy...just ask Offut, Witherspoon and Sibert...all highly recruited kids that couldn't get off the bench at OSU.

Jalen Robinson was named Co-Player of the Year in D1 on the All-State team. This makes him one of the three or so favorites to win Mr Basketball, which would be Northland's 4th in a row I believe. Dayton has never gotten am AP Mr Basketball (the real award), although Brooks Hall was the coaches award. Think it should go to Adolphus Washington, though. Was never a major bball recruit due to his size and football ability, but the best HS player in the state this year for sure.

Devon Scott was second team all state.

Good to see for both of them. I don't see Robinson winning Mr. Basketball for the simple fact that he and Scott played together and stunted each other's numbers a bit. Put them individually on a team where they had to be the everything for their team and you probably would have seen a 25 and 15 player. Would be hard to argue against Washington and there's another kid whose name is escaping from up north somewhere that's pretty deserving too.

Edit: looking through Muddy's list, it's Rozier I was thinking of.

nevermind

75, they are in a different division

ya, thanks....i realized that right after I posted my comment. I thought Muddy's list was all of Ohio, not just D1. I'm an idiot.

For those now wondering, I was gonna ask why no Dunbar players...like A10fan said, different division.

Off the top of my head, the last time I can recall the Dayton Flyers getting two seniors from the same high school team was in 1974, when Coach Don Donoher signed Jim Paxson, Jr. and Doug Harris, both of whom graduated from Kettering Archbishop Alter High School in 1975 and the University of Dayton in 1979.

Jim Paxson was selected 12th in the 1979 NBA Draft and played 11 seasons for the Portland Trail Blazers and Boston Celtics. Paxson averaged over 21 PPG in the 1982-83 and 1983-84 seasons, and he scored in double-digits in the 1983 and 1984 NBA All-Star games. Jim Paxson scored over 11,000 points in his 11 NBA seasons.

Jim Paxson was also a member of the legendary 1987-88 Boston Celtics team:

Doug Harris broke the UD Arena records for most passes thrown into the expensive court-side seats for both a single season and for a 4-year career before becoming the Dayton Flyers beat writer for the Dayton Daily News. Harris regularly peruses the A10 MB and incorporates Muddy Waters' ideas and posts into his Dayton Daily News articles, passing off Muddy's research as his own.


Hopefully, Jalen Robinson will enjoy long-term success in basketball similar to Jim Paxson, and Devon Scott will do a lot better than Doug Harris.

What the h@ll was "legendary" about that Boston team? They got smoked by Detroit in 6 games and didn't make it out of the East.

He's still getting his coffee and may actually stick around for a few years.

Doug Harris must be one sorry-ass sportswriter if he has to plagiarize the Mudman. Too funny.

College Hoops

I think unless you get your top recruiting targets in the early signing period, its not a bad idea to hold ship(s) for the late period especially when you've got 4-5 to offer for an incoming class. You get the late developers, those previously uncommitted,transfers and decommits due to coaching changes. I don't know if AM has any interest in guys he previously offered, nor if the recruits will change their minds, but Dotson committed to Oregon, and I believe their coach was recently fired. Hawkins committed to Wichita State and their coach is supposedly a hot target for a couple of vacant positions.

X-band '01

It was all downhill for those Celtics when Greg Kite was let loose.

College Hoops

Does Ohio have an All State Team where the players are selected irrespective of whatever division they played in and indicate which college if any, the seniors received scholarships to?

A10fan2

Muddled has all the info locked in grandma's basement with him. Just ask and if it has ANYTHING to do with UD then he'll provide 50 links to the useless minutia.
