Alex Kirk and James Johnson updates

The Land of Enchantment features prepster Alex Kirk -- go here to learn more about him -- who is a promising center so New Mexico State has a bid in but it will be an unrequited love affair. However, nothing is lost by trying. For the record, Utah State is also in on the Kirk action but he's just not bound for the WAC.

Another high school frontcourter -- 6-9, 220 James Johnson out of San Diego -- is also not going to be getting his mail at a WAC destination even though NMSU and Marvin Menzies are most interested. He's originally from Canada.

How do we know? We don't really but the lure of one of the powers-that-be will be too much for these kids. That's the way it's been and always will be. But there's always bouncebacks which is one of the reasons lower level college coaches make the original runs at higher level kids.
