[bearcat jeff]

DuFont said she also likes Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin and St. John’s coach Steve Lavin.

“We went to St. John’s a couple weeks ago,” she said. “That, too, is very attractive. It was very nice. We sat down on a one-on-one and I thought he was somewhat a very honest person.”

As for Cronin, she said, “Khadeen took a liking to him.”

The 6-3 Carrington, meantime, said he’s focusing on St. John’s, UConn, Cincinnati and Florida State, although he holds offers from many other schools.

“I went to a couple games,” the junior said, referring to a visit to UConn. “I’m going to start taking visits after the season.”

Asked where he’d like to visit, Carrington said, “Florida State, I’m going to visit Cincinnati and I’m going to take a visit to St. John’s, too.

“I have a great relationship with a lot of those coaches.”

Carrington says he can play both guard positions and Gonzalez, a former point guard, is working with him on his ball-handling skills.

Kahari Beaufort will also be at the game, but as far as I can tell that is just to watch UCONN.

Jeff with 4 rides coming next year how do you see the position priority breaking out. Will it be broken out evenly between 2 bigs and two guards? How about a PG?

I'm not Jeff obviously........but my preference is......

2 Bigs
1 SF
1 PG

My reasoning - We have struggled to have good Bigs. We need some legit options down low. I'd prefer Abu and Terrell if we could sign them as a package, realizing Terrell is not a PG but a SG.

SF - Lawrence could be 1 and done or 2 and done. Need another impact taller ballhandler who can get into the lane.

PG - Insurance in case Caupain fails or is more of a SG.

I don't care what position they play if they're a top 40 kid. At that point, why would you care. That's why I'd love to have Abu and Terrell as a package.

Edit: Seems like we are loaded at guard the next 2 years with S K returning, Guyn, JDII, Caupain, KJ, and Morman. And Sanders is more like a big guard than SF.

 

[bearcat jeff]

I think they will definitely look to sign 2 bigs, a SF, and either a pg or a wing who can shoot.

Carrington shines in EYBL


As a junior during the 2012-13 campaign, Khadeen Carrington made his presence felt within the New York City basketball community.

The crafty 6-3 guard anchored Bishop Loughlin to the CHSAA ‘AA’ championship, before falling to Jon Severe and the Royals of Christ the King.

While playing alongside back-court mate, Mike Williams, Carrington poured in a team-high 25 points per game while scoring in a various fashions.

Deemed a premiere prospect in the Metropolitan-area, the NIKE Elite Youth Basketball League (EYBL) has given Carrington the opportunity to compete against the nation’s finest throughout the Spring and Summer.

Carrington, a Brooklyn-product, is traveling “The Circuit” with New York Lightning, a New York City-based, NIKE-sponsored AAU program.

Coming into EYBL’s Session #3 this past weekend in Dallas, Texas, Carrington was averaging a modest 11.1 points per game. In four games, the south-paw guard lit up defenses in the Lone Star State, averaging 17.8 points per game on the weekend.

On Friday, Carrington posted 14 points, four rebounds and four assists in a 75-73 overtime victory in a highly anticipated bout against the New Jersey Playaz and fellow Brooklynite, Isaiah Whitehead of Abraham Lincoln.

The rising senior capped off a phenomenal weekend with a 24-point, four-rebound performance in a win over the Georgia Stars on Sunday.

Carrington, who believes he simply found his “flow” in Dallas, eyes a trip to the EYBL Finals at Peach Jam.

As the EYBL circuit ends for majority of programs after Session #4 in Minneapolis, Minnesota in two weeks, Carrington expects the New York Lightning to be one of the 24 teams to qualify for Peach Jam.

With Carrington leading the way, a superb follow-up performance in Minneapolis is to be expected. As a result, high-major coaches will continue to recruit the dynamic guard.

Currently, Carrington lists offers from Southern Methodist, Connecticut, St. John’s, Cincinnati, Iowa State, Florida State and West Virginia, among others.

With a wide-spread skill-set and high-motor, Carrington envisions competing for a program who’s tempo is fast-paced and mentions UConn and Cincinnati as two programs who stand out.

With Carrington leading the way, the New York Lightning are in good hands heading down the stretch of the NIKE Elite Youth Basketball League.

UCONN will still be a tough team to beat but I'm surprised/happy to see him not mention St. John's as a team that stood out. They were thought to be an early leader for a while.
