I posted a video on here of Crider a few weeks ago. If you run a youtube search on his name it will come up. The kid is a superb athlete. Reminds me a lot of Jimmy Conyers. Similar type of body, though Crider being 5 years younger hasn't filled out as much as Jimmy. Has the ability to penetrate from the wing and finish at the rim and a strong defender. I would LOVE to land this kid. Trice doesn't excite me quite as much as some of the other PG prospects we have on our radar. He is a coach's son, so he has that going for him.

Trice is the 2nd coming of Joyce, I'll take it! I like his floor presence alot.

The All-Ohio D-1&2 Teams were announced yesterday. These honors are, naturally, for high school accomplishment and not for trying to predict future college potential, but, personally, I look forward to the release of this particular honor every year.

Trice was named 3rd-Team D-1 All-Ohio. He's listed as a 6-0 Jr. w/ 21.9 ppg.

In comparison,

Crider was named Honorable Mention D-1 All-Ohio.

Stevie Taylor - Honorable Mention D-1 All-Ohio.

Josh Egner - Special Mention D-1 All-Ohio (a higher honor than "Honorable Mention")

I'm really hoping that the Zips' additional player for this recruiting class - that was enigmatically mentioned by GoZips a few weeks ago - is Charles Hearn of Kenmore. Charles was named 1st-Team D-2 All-Ohio and is listed as a 6-2 Sr. w/ 25 ppg. I've seen him play and he really can do it all. We should have our heads examined if we're not at least trying to get this hometown product to walk-on. Charles is a natural scorer - much like CJ McCollum of GlenOak was last year. We need a few more natural-born-scorers on our roster. Especially a 6-2, slashing, jump out of the gym & shoot the 3-ball guard.
