The only thing we ask is that readers not go off the deep end if their school is 'attached' to a certain player. Such a connection can mean both something or nothing.
Hawaii is in the mix for Iowa prep Jordan Dykstra, a 6-foot-9 190 pound, forward out of Rock Valley High (Iowa). He had verbally commited to Iowa State as an eighth-grader but then backed away from doing so.
Here's a November 2006 article about Dykstra aligning himself with the Cyclones.
Here's a very dated ESPN evaluation of him.
We have a hard time swallowing the following but CalHiSports is reporting that San Leandro High 2009 graduate Demetrius Owens played well in a recent tournament and then made mention of "possibilities with CSU Northridge, Toledo and Utah State..." He's a 6-foot-5 banger who averaged 8.5 points and 5.2 rebounds per game respectively last season. Owens was a first-team selection in the Hayward Area Athletic League. Maybe it's in a walk-on capacity.
CalHiSports also made mention of 6-foot-1 Crenshaw backcourter Reynaul Baker receiving interest from Nevada, among other schools. Wolf Pack fans will just love that their school is idnetifed as Nevada-Reno in the report. He was the co-MVP of the Coliseum League this past season. Again, this connection seems more along the lines of walking on but we could be wrong.
