------------------------------------------------------------------------------Meanwhile, great news for the UH Basketball team on the recruiting front. Reliable sources tell me that the two JC pkayers in town last week have verbally committed. National signing day is still 10 days away, but these guys are bigtime. Both were recruited by Big east schools for example. Both are Europe, one from the Republic of Georgia and the other from Lithuania. One is a 6′8′ power forward and the other a 6′2′ two guard. Also, I have it from a reliable source that at least one UH coach has stayed behind in Texas to visit a top 5 JC small forward. Things are beginning to look up and if this continues, look for the Bows to return next year ready to make some noise in the WAC.

Pensacola duo will stay together
Talk about it in Florida forum
Petras Balocka, (SO) 6-foot-8 (230), and Lasha Parghalava, (SO) 6-foot-2, will remain teammates next year when they travel to the Hawaiian Islands and play at the University of Hawaii according to Pensacola Junior College Head coach Paul Swanson.
Balocka played at East Tennessee State University last year where he saw action in 13 games. Petras prepped at Community Christian School in Atlanta, GA for coach Linzy Davis. Balocka visited Rutgers back on March 1-2 and recently visited Hawaii with Lasha.
"The two of them really walked away liking what they saw. It is a great chance for both of them to go in and play right away," said Swanson.
Balocka had a great season for the Pirates this season. The 1st team All-Panhandle Conference performer recorded 17 double-doubles this season. Petras averaged 13.6 and 11.2 rebounds this past season. Lasha had been committed to South Florida but reopened his recruitment and decided to join Balocka in Hawaii next season. Parghalava averaged 11.4 ppg this season for the Pirates.

Sounds like we offered Ryan Hare but still a long shot to land him
http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com ... 5757.story
Although Marshall All-Stater Ryan Hare still expresses a strong interest in Southern Illinois, his older brother Morris Hare is advising him to keep his college options open.
Ryan Hare, who will retake the ACT on Saturday in an effort to raise his score to qualify for a Division I scholarship, is taking a closer look at Baylor and Drake.
He plans to visit SIU sometime this month. Ryan Hare has offers from the Salukis, Hawaii and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.

I think BC was referring to Roderick Flemings from Weatherford JC. 6-7 Forward that originally went to Oklahoma State.

Link has Flemings tied with Kentucky & Hawaii.
Has some academic issues to complete.
Per his coach, "He's 6-7, 210 and can play inside and outside. He has a good attitude, is long and very talented."
