Visited Missouri State this weekend.

Now 6'2'' only has a Wichita State offer -- Creighton, Kansas, Ohio State and Oklahoma interested

Whitt had a very impressive evening in a win over the Iowa Mavericks. The quick and fluid scoring guard has a good-looking shot, although it wasn't falling consistently, and he created looks for himself on a regular basis by beating defenders off the dribble and trying a few pull-up jumpers.

Whitt was awesome in the 16U championship game. The sophomore combo guard was very good with the ball in his hands. He is shifty and knows how to open himself up and get room to elevate on his high arching jump shot that he was very efficient with. Grabbing 16U Co-MVP honor, Whitt scored 16 points in the title game and played well all tournament long.

Whitt scored at will for KC Run GMC in their win over the Wisconsin Swing in the 16U Semifinals. The sophomore showed some good bounce and lateral quickness, freeing himself from his defender. In the 16U title game, Whitt came through for KC Run GMC with a team-high 15 points and a big second half to help spark the comeback victory. The talented guard then followed that up with another strong effort in the title game to help fuel the KC Run GMC squad to the 16U Platinum Division Championship this past weekend.

Whitt’s stock continues to soar as he put on another great display of basketball Sunday. Whitt was solid with his handles, constantly consistently attacking the gaps in the defense to get to favorable spots on the court to knock down his mid-range jump shot. The young guard excelled in the fast break as well, showcasing his ability to get up as he put down an impressive dunk. Whitt finished with 14 points.

Furthermore, the high school junior will soon be taking his first visits as he is in the process of planning trips to see Oklahoma and Kansas State. He will look to go to more also as opportunities come up. Meanwhile, Whitt is just enjoying how things play out and soaking in what he can to improve his game, saying “It’s just been a really fun process, it’s really been fun getting to enjoy all the people wanting you and talking to different coaches from around the nation ‘cause you get to find out things they think you do well and things you can get better at, so as a player you can learn from those coaches what you can do to help your game.” With that he also said his goal right now recruitment wise would be to make his decision before his senior year, and just keep enjoying the process in the meantime. - See more at: http://www.ny2lasports.com/article_one. ... eweCE.dpuf

Was at the game today. I hope he enjoyed his visit!

There was also a really tall, slim but not skinny kid there today. He was substantially taller than the Section 119 usher and he's a decent sized guy so maybe 6'8 or so; dark skinned black kid that I don't think I've seen in the recruiting threads.
