Today, from Indiana Basketball Recruits: "Head coaches from Loyola and Valpo, assistant coach from Oregon at Marquette Catholic to watch Solanke Adeleke, Michael Miller and Ryan Fazekas."

I also understand that Bryce and Jake went to see David Cohn of York High School (IL) yesterday.

This is correct except it was Jake Diebler along with Luke Gore in Marquette today.  Leke now has his 2nd D1 offer this time by Valpo conference rival Loyola.  After the workout today, the Loyola Head Coach Porter Moser along with Assistant Jason Gardner took Leke in private and offered him a full ride....he is scheduled to make a campus visit there this weekend.  Nice seeing Oregon there today as well.....my impression is that Valpo is now interested in Ryan Fazekas since they do not have a scholarship to offer Leke next season.  :-\

I can confirm that Leke Solanke is the name of the young man you have seen at the ARC.  He is 6'6 from Nigeria currently has an offer from Georgia State also is being recruited by: Loyola, Missouri State, Tennessee Tech, Tennessee Chattanooga, VALPO and many others.  For some reason, Valpo feels players like Clay Yeo are better fit for the program because they have not yet offered him a scholarship.  He was hoping for a package deal with his brother who is 6'11 and has interest from: UConn, Nebraska, IU, Purdue and others but has not happened.  Would be a shame to miss out on the potential of Leke he has mad athletic skills and will be a very good player in the future.
