Not sure where is list of basketball non-binding "commits" can be found but Hope College is officially down one as of Friday

Is this presumed to be fallout from all the recent activity within the Hope program?

What a teaser! Which "commit" has "de-committed"?

[hoopdreams]

1. Completely related to the fallout
2. I'll wait for the Sentinel to write about it in two months. protecting the Karma and some people on this board don't like that some people are "in the know" for things they want to know!
3. MN is still running the basketball camps at Hope...it has been confirmed tenfold.  Are they going to move their morning staff meetings to the Long John Silvers parking lot?

***Yeah,  there's the haters ***

Meanwhile a kid who had appeared to be a lock forever, Dante Hawkins, is looking at Dordt ...

I'm told Dante is going to Dordt which is a great pickup for the Defenders. He will join West Ottawa's PJ Trammell who has already committed and will play both football and basketball in Sioux Center.

Olivet...SG Jake Arnston from Jenison...ceiling is high on this shooter, who unlike most, did not play AAU at all in his spare time.  Numbers were down his senior year due to new offensive philosophies and only being allowed to play with one basketball at a time (they have 5 guys playing college hoops and all were trying to impress... ya know what I'm sayin)  Excels on the baseball diamond as well

[hoopdreams]

Apparently the "gag" order has been lifted....and MN is allowed to return to campus to run the summer camps.  One piece I was not aware of- he "owns" the camp and it's techniqually not a Hope College function, simply run through their facilities.  Can someone confirm this nugget of information?
