Brice Kofane is the forward (freshman redshirt) who isn't really developed offensively but should help out on the defensive end.

It will be Milwaukee, Detroit and Cleveland State... in no particular order. Sorry but (esp. after last night's loss to D-II Northern State or whoever that was) I am even 10% sold on a Hayward and Mack-less Butler. I also think Loyola will do better than 9th even with the big injury.

He was twice top scorer at the Spanish u18 Nationals, and if he's healthy he should be a prospective target for specially academic oriented schools (Ivies, Patriots, Davidson, etc etc).

That also was the third time that lineup ever played with each other so to try and compare them to a CBC that practices all the time together would be silly. The Bottom line is i just like the style Holder plays on both ends of the floor and i from what i saw from him in the semi's against Middlesex Magic when they had no Auguste and Vonelah went out three minutes into the game with stitches to his eye both Holder and Floras took that game into their own hands and won not only that one but the finals too. I think they are playing much better each game they play together. In fact i think i read they went 8 and 0 since losing to CBC and Terry Porter Elite and made the gold bracket in the Vegas tourney before falling in triple overtime to Devin Harris all stars and are currently 4-0 in the Best of summer tourney.

Considering I saw Rivals play Connecticut Basketball Club - a game where the Rivals' guards were basically turnover machines - it's probably a good thing Holder wasn't mentioned.

A true two way guard that plays defense and offense with high mid major ability with exsplosive speed and playing ability way above the rim look for his stock to rise this year at Notre Dame Prepp. You mentioned Haladnya and Vonelah from the Rivals but you didn’t mention Holder?
