Playing against East Coast #7 by Prepnation (Washington St. John's), Babbit and his team lost 58-52 (Galena has to have the most challenging schedule in the country! They are running Babbit through the gauntlet.) Luke finished with 25 points and 5 rebounds. 5-5 from the line. 4-8 from 3. Tomorrow he goes up against Scott County, the number one team from Kentucky.

Galena loses another close one, 70-64 against Scott County KY. Ho hum...another typical game for Babbitt as he tried to will his team to victory. 34 points on 14-22 shooting and 10 rebounds. He puts up these kinds of numbers against the best teams in the country. No doubt he is a premiere prospect who is building a lot of character on a 7-7 squad. I also notice he shot 4-4 from the line. He's at least an 80% FT shooter, and his threes are easily in the 40% range for the year.

Babbitt says he is very interested in Ohio State. UCLA, Ohio State, Nevada, Arizona and Gonzaga are his top five schools. Babbitt is averaging 25 points and 10 rebounds a game. Luke has visited UCLA, Arizona and Nevada and hopes to visit Ohio State and Gonzaga in the spring.

A dozen blocks, really? I know it is h.s. and he probably is taller than most everyone on court, but 12 blocks indicates some athleticism I didn't know he had. I really wish we could sign 2/3 of Roe, Gates and Babbitt as they all bring some different skills we could use inside. I still don't like the Wallace signing as we are going to have to pass on several T25 players now as a result.

I think the things that hurts us the most is that:

1. He lives in Nevada. He may have grown up in Cincy, but he still lives in Nevada.

2. Nevada is a big time Mid American school, they have recruiting power.

3. Fazekas is gone after this year, leaving that spot open.

Either way he is quickly moving up the list of guys that I want.

I did have Roe and Gates above him, but at this point I am not sure.

I will always have Roe above him, but at this point it just doesnt look like Roe will come here.

As for Gates he also doesnt seem that enamored with us and at this point it seems like we already have our banger at the PF in Lauderdale.

Thus by elimination making Babbitt the guy that I would love to fill that 4th spot in the 08' class.
