Ray Lester showed me little to anything during his time at A&T. I don't care if his dad came on this board and defended him (which he should have done as a father). That dude always looked confused on the floor. He really didn't improve over his freshman year at A&T. By the look of his stats at Vincennes, it doesn't look if he was a major impact player there either. SIUE is in the competitive Ohio Valley Conference. He'll be lucky to even get mop-up minutes at the end of a blowout game.
I'm happy he is back at a DI school - but I hope he focuses on graduating with a degree (which I hope he gets). He never appeared to me as being a DI level basketball player. And I ain't saying that because he left A&T. Hell, there are players on our team now that I don't think are "DI appropriate."

NHSS your a hard Bro....lol But I feel you on your commits. At lest he is still in school because that's what counts! It kills me that so many players and parents think that their kid is the next coming super star in basketball....lol When they should be looking at their kids complement and graduating with a degree from college...lol

Spartan Men's Basketball Signs Ohio Prep Standout Rashid Gaston Matt Michalec, SID 4/30/2012 12:22:00 PM NORFOLK, Va. – Norfolk State men’s basketball coach Anthony Evans announced Monday the signing of Ohio prep standout forward Rashid Gaston to a national letter of intent.
Gaston (6-8, 235), a native of Warren, Ohio, just concluded his playing career at Warren G. Harding High School. He was a first-team All-Northeast Ohio and All-Trumbull County selection after averaging 15 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks per game as a senior. Gaston was also an honorable mention all-state Division I selection for the Raiders, who finished 21-4 this past season under coach Steve Arnold. Gaston had the winning put-back at the buzzer to give Harding the victory in the Division I district championship game.
Harding advanced to the regional finals before seeing their season end one game before the state’s Final Four. Gaston was a three-year letterwinner and two-year starter for Harding. He was rated the No. 10 high school senior in Ohio and the No. 42 center in the nation by ESPN.com.
“Rashid is a tough, aggressive forward who can score on the interior and rebounds well on both ends of the floor,” Evans said. “He will be a great addition to our front line.”
Evans said he expects more additions in the coming weeks.
NSU loses five seniors off this past year’s 26-10 MEAC championship team that advanced to the third round of the NCAA Tournament. Among the departed players are starting forward Marcos Tamares and center Kyle O’Quinn, the MEAC Player of the Year.

Ohio has a lot of talented players in both Football and Basketball as do most states. A&T should try to tap that state!

A 6-6, 220-pound forward, Baskin spent his sophomore season at Chipola College in Marianna, Fla., where he played for coach Jake Headrick. In 24 games, Baskin notched 8.0 points on 43 percent field-goal shooting. He also contributed 3.9 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game while leading the squad to a 23-6 mark. In 2010-11, Baskin saw action in 14 games at Quinnipiac. As a freshman, he averaged 2.9 points in 8.9 minutes per game. Baskin added 2.0 rebounds per game and blocked seven shots for the Bobcats, who posted a 22-10 mark and participated in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament. A native of Stamford, Conn., Baskin starred for coach Mike Walsh at Trinity Catholic High School. He was a three-time all-state honoree and earned MVP honors in 2008 for leading his team to the FCIAC championship. The squad advanced to the state championship game in the same season. He scored 1,869 points and hauled in 920 rebounds to rank among the school’s best. Baskin is the son of Yolanda Baskin and Donald Alexander and plans to major in communications. Eaves comes to the High Country from Greensboro, N.C., where he was a standout player for coach Robert Kent at Page High School. The 6-2, 175-pound guard earned Metro 4-A Conference Player of the Year honors as well as N.C. Basketball Coaches Association District 7 Player of the Year accolades last season and was previously named the 2010 Pizza Hut Invitational Most Valuable Player. Eaves averaged 20.5 points and five rebounds per game in high school to rack up more than 1,000 career points. He is the son of Jerry Eaves, who recently completed an eight-year stint as the head coach at North Carolina A&T. The elder Eaves also worked as an assistant coach in the NBA with three different teams and made his mark in the college ranks as well, with stints at Howard University, Indiana State and his alma mater, Louisville. Jerry Eaves led the Cardinals to the 1980 national championship as well as a Final Four appearance in 1982. He was a third-round draft pick by the Utah Jazz and played four seasons in the NBA before serving as a scout and beginning his coaching career. Frank is one of Jerry and Sheila Eaves’ four children, along with older siblings Lee Anne and Ashley and younger brother Anthony. The incoming freshman plans on majoring in business and enjoys playing golf in his spare time. The pair joins an incoming 2012-13 class that includes 6-8 Rantavious Gilbert (Albany, Ga./Monroe) 6-6 Arthur McMillan (Nashville, Tenn./Lawson State) and 6-8 Michael Obacha (Summerfield, N.C./High Point Christian). After redshirting last season, Jay Canty also joins the fold for his sophomore campaign as the Apps look to replace a strong senior class that included three front court players in Isaac Butts, Petey Hausley and Andre Williamson as well as wing Omar Carter.

I heard from a good source recently that it looked like you guys might pick up a big man from FUMA. It was a kid UNCG was looking at last fall and this spring, but I'm not sure if G offered.
Anyways, I didn't see anything about him in this thread and thought I'd give you guys a heads up.
