For those who didn't read the article, Quinton Chevious plays at Niles Notre Dame HS, coached by former BU player Tom Les (brother of Jim).

[real fan]

He could be the next Chicago player to make it big at BU.

Quinton Chevious, Niles Notre Dame-Class of 2011...
has become a real team leader...
Even Chicago St. Pats' coach said this...
"St. Pat's head coach Mike Bailey said that Chievous was, "the man" and said that over the last month and a half, the 6-foot-5 wing had been playing as well anybody in the conference."

Here is some recent coverage...his last 3 games..
Chevious 22 pts in a game that said to be an upet, but Niles Notre Dame won by 96-65!!

BTW - on the same page in the Sun Times, Flash Flanagan has an article...
http://blogs.suntimes.com/lockerroom/2010/02/flashs_top_10.html#more
.....I am truly surprised he doesn't give Bish's team that earned 2 state titles in 2003, 2004 any ranking...

[Disturbed]

How about Lawrenceville's back to back champions in 1982-83 that won 68 consecutive games? I realize it's Class A, but you've got to give them some props.

If we can't land this kid, well, I don't know how much better we could be set up to land a kid. Go get him!

Quinton Chievous - according to some recent reports injured an elbow (not stated whther right or left) and he has a small crack in one of the bones and will need to to rest and sit out a few weeks.
These injuries typically all heal but take a few weeks of immobilizing the elbow. That, in turn, leads to the elbow stiffening up during the immobilizing period and then taking some time to restore full mobility later....so he might be somewhat hampered much of the summer.

[PeoriaLou]

Man, that stinks for Q, hope he heals up 100%. Hope BU stays on him. Sounds like a good fit for both sides.

[DeltaBrave03]

Too bad for the kid, but didn't the same thing happen with DSE? A kid who maybe had high major talent, but missed most of his Junior/Senior AAU season with an injury and fell off most teams radars.

[tornado]

not exactly the same thing...DSE's two injuries were an ankle and a wrist...but it did cause some to drop off....

I have a son who had a very similar-sounding elbow injury - but it is hard to precisely compare without knowiong what Q had...
just a tiny hairline crack at the proximal end of the radius from a fall and hyperextension, and it did trouble several weeks even after he was cleared to play again...

[KillerB]

He got an offer from Colorado State this weekend.
I hear he is going to take a visit there.

Colorado State (32-63 over the past 3 seasons!) <<<<<< Bradley!!
(but I must admit Colorado (Ft. Collins) is not a bad place to live if you want to get away from it all)

[PTownHawkeye]

Looks like BU is not recuiting Chievous anymore. It is interesting that Chievous does not have scholarship offer from ANY of the schools he lists in his top 6...

[Da Coach]

I am hearing also that the prep school option may be where he ends up.

Chievous -- who still remains unrated by many services (scout.com. Rivals, etc) -- verbals to Cuonzo Martin & Tennessee.

This article quotes Tom Les, his coach...
"..Chievous cited Tennessee's coaching staff, including a pre-existing
relationship with new Vols' assistant Tracy Webster...along with the chance
to play on a big conference stage

In the end though, Chievous' high school coach at Notre Dame, Tom Les, felt
Martin pushed the Vols' over the top..... he hadn't decided yet until this
morning," Les said of the decision. "I think the difference is that he felt a real
connection with coach Martin. Coach Martin had contacted us about Quinton
when he was at Missouri State."

Les feels that Tennessee is getting a player whose best basketball is ahead
of him.

"He never got out in the summers and he really didn't play much AAU ball so
he wasn't really on a lot of people's radar the way he might have been," Les
said. "As our season went on and we improved, we went 22-9, he started
getting some attention that he deserved.

"He's a very explosive player. I think what people will like about his game is
his athletic ability and explosiveness."

That explosiveness led to Chievous averaging 22 points and 11 rebounds as a
senior."
