Former Providence Top-40 recruit Brandon Austin out at Oregon as school investigates gang rape involving Austin and 2 teammates. Second time in a year this kid is tossed from a program for an "alleged" gang rape.

Going a little to far in escaping the iso reputation imho.

deep inside Guido territory
Check this dunk out from Kendrick Grey a 15 year old soon-to-be junior 6'5" guard from Rice Memorial High School in Burlington, Vermont.  He plays for the Rhode Island-based New England Playaz.  This was an AAU game from May 24th.  So far, Grey has heard from Florida, Villanova, Syracuse, BC among many other northeast Division I schools.  He really has 3 more years left of HS if he chooses to go the prep school route eventually.  This kid is going to be a big-time player.

Austin apparently landing at Hutchinson Community College the powerhouse JC program in Kansas.

One of the top rank high school guards Emmanuel Mudiay who was going to go to SMU has decided to skip college and is heading overseas to play.

"Decided" or knew the NCAA wouldn't be granting him clearance to play due to his HS not being properly accredited? Brown put a weak spin on that by saying it wasn't acedemic as he had been accepted into SMU.....that has nothing to do with actual eligibility to play.

That's what happens when you go to a HS that Deion Sanders founded I suppose. I believe a couple other kids from there have also had eligibility issues as well.

Nope. Austin denied admission to a JC basketball factory. Looks like he's going to have to grow up on his own overseas in some obscure leagues until he builds up his body to even have a chance to play in the league.
