Maybe this is old news, but I just learned that Andre is a southpaw.

Next year we will have four left-handed players with Yates, Jones, Artino, and Geoff all suited up.

Maybe this isn't much of an advantage, but I've always felt it gave Antoine an edge as defenders are used to guarding guys who are strong to the right.

Some highlights involving Yates. (He's #1 for Dunbar in blue)

Some nice bursts to the hoop, impressive ups, and a nice feed. maybe also a defensive lapse.

Can you imagine Stu Pospasil putting something like that together?

Highschool basketball in Ohio appears to be of a slightly higher quality than Nebraska.

Some highlights from Dunbar's last game. I think Andre scored 21 in this game. He had a few pretty slick drives in the video. #1

Next game is Sat 3/15.

Lots about Yates in this one. His team won handily but he had 4 fouls (including 1 Techincal) in the first half. Sounds like it was a borderline call for the T. His comments and attitude are encouraging. Seems like a winner and a leader. Like Chatman he has some NBA mentors. That is pretty sweet. The Dayton HS basketball scene sounds pretty intense.

Looks like he has some quicks

Looks like we'll be seeing the teammate he threw the lob to...signed with Wichita State. Pretty solid offer list:

Wish CU could get some 6'7" leapers like this.

He visited, changed his Facebook status to show Creighton as his college choice. Word is (no proof) that his test scores couldn't get him in to CU. Off he goes to WCC.

For those that want to upgrade the athletes in the program we will always have issues as some kids who can get into the UNL's of the world can't get into CU.
