FYI, 'Nova recruit Jalen Brunson scored 30 while leading Stevenson to winning the Illinois Class 4A (large school) championship Saturday.

He's good.....the team finished second and third in state the last two years. While it came down to 'Nova over Illinois, I know KU was after him, too.

While not a big man, I think he'll contribute heavily to 'Nova's success in the years ahead.
 
Yea. We were talking about their lack of size in losing to NC St., and being able to match up in the front court with the better teams from the big conferences.

But you always need good guards as well.
 
VU has 6'8" Tim Delaney for 2015 class and 6'8" Omari Spellman for 2016.

Also this:

Mikal Bridges out of Great Valley will play next season after sitting out the 2014-15 campaign as a redshirt. The 6-7 swingman was ranked No. 82 in ESPNU’s Class of 2014. He was a first-team Class AAAA all-state selection and averaged 18.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.4 blocks and 1.6 steals per game as a senior.

Guard Jalen Brunson is the prize of a strong recruiting class. The 6-2 guard is the son of Temple great Rick Bruson and was named Gatorade’s Illinois Player of the Year for the second straight year. Brunson led Stevenson to its first Illinois Class 4A state title Saturday night and averaged 23.1 points, 5.4 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 2.6 steals leading up to the state final.

Tim Delaney, a 6-9 forward, brings some much-needed size to the frontcourt. He transferred to Blair from Pittman for his senior season and helped Blair reach the New Jersey Prep A state final where it lost to St. Benedict.n He scored 1,598 points at Pittman and guided the Panthers to the New Jersey Group 1 state championship as a junior.

Donte DiVincenzo guided Salesianum to its second straight Delaware state championship as a senior. The 6-4 guard. He had 23 points, 13 rebound and two assists as the Sallies beat Polytech in the state final, 52-45. His two assists came on consecutive baskets that gave Salesianum
