Here is some more recruiting stuff ....
Peorian
DJ Richardson has picked up an offer over the weekend from Notre Dame
Zach House (from Rock Falls), a 7-footer who had committed to NIU but now backed out and has been released from his LOI,
is apparently now looking close at Evansville, and has received an offer.
One of the top unsigned seniors is
Demond Watt who plays for ex-BU player Tim Bankston at TF North.
Watt has yet to show a qualifying test score, was waiting to hear from a couple prep schools, and has now re-formed plans because of the prep school thing, and will either go out east to prep school or go juco.
At one time BU was looking at Demond Watt and had offered him a scholarship.

Lastly, a couple people have PM'ed me and asked about
DeAndre Miranda, who played a big part in the two consecutive State Championships that were won by Peoria Central, and he played along side Shaun Livingston and Brandon Lee.
Miranda never could get qualified and went to Central Florida Community College.
He had a decent freshman year, and averaged roughly 10+ppg, 7 rebs.
He was the top returning player in both categories this season, but....
First-- CFCC is not one generally considered one of the top power junior colleges, so the team as a whole is overshadowed by the likes of Chipola, Broward Co., and others.
Second-- they finished 21-11 and lost in their regional (to Chipola)
Third-- DeAndre's numbers, although good, were a bit disappointing, and did not improve from his freshman season.
10ppg, 5.6rpg, 45% on FGs, 57% on FTs, and believe it or not 8-31 (26%) on 3-pointers.
He is not listed in any of the recruiting databases, and is not mentioned anywhere that I can find of being offered any scholarships.
If anyone hears about where he might be going, let us know.
