According to Adam, we have:
* Tad Boyle & Mike Rohn in Indianapolis for the adidas Invitational. Some players there: Brandon Parrish, Devin Burleson, Leyton Hammonds, Chris Sandifer and Jaron Hopkins.
* Jean Prioleau in Anaheim for the Double Pump event before heading up to San Francisco for the NorCal tipoff. Some players at the Double Pump: Evan Fitzner, Casey Benson and Jack Williams.
* Rodney Billups is off as the rules are that schools can only have three coaches recruiting per day.
Sounds like Tad got to see quite the show yesterday from Jaron Hopkins. Rivals said he was the #1 performer at the camp. #2? Isaac Hamilton and #3 was Anthony January.
Pretty good stuff, huh? One of the biggest AAU tourneys of the summer, and the top 3 performers are/were all CU targets (I have no idea if we're still on January). And the best part is, I doesn't feel like a pipe dream to land a guy like Hopkins. These next few weeks are going to be interesting.
This morning, Adam broke the news that Jabari Bird would be going on an official visit to CU. This afternoon, Yung was the first one to announce the date of the visit. So on September 9th, the Buffs will be hosting the 5* SG.
And with that, we have our first official visit of the year planned.

I'm wondering if Tad's #1 and #2 targets are Bird and Lee.

Interesting list. 247 is definitely going against the grain on this one, so we'll see how it all plays out.
I could live with it if we signed Hopkins and Bird.
Nice to see some visits starting to pop up.
