If all goes to plan, FIU basketball essentially wrapped up its 2011 recruiting effort this week when Memphis-based KeDorian Sullivan signed a letter of intent with the Golden Panthers.
Sullivan, a 6-foot-6, 185-pound swingman from Southwind (Tenn.) High School, becomes the third high school player to ink with FIU.
Darnell Harris, a small forward from Christian Life Center Academy (Texas), is expected to snap up the Panthers’ fourth and final scholarship should he qualify academically.
In the heavily-publicized world of college recruiting, Sullivan is a relative unknown.
Last summer, SlamOnline.com wrote of Sullivan: “[He] might not be a big name nationally, but his high motor, slashing ability, finishing skills, activity on the boards, tough D and ability to excel in transition might change his low-key status as a recruit in the near future.”
@MiamiSouthPaw -
You were right, I read this article and it was 100% evident that high school kids don't really know what they want, especially our recent commit E.J. Hilliard. There can't possibly be (1) recruit that has the vision & leadership willing to go all in for FIU....

This is the conclusion of the story, Hilliard gone into recruiting mode:
“I believe, 100 percent, that I can steer some of my teammates to FIU,” Hilliard said. “I started recruiting people yesterday. I’m going to try to get all the local people I can get to come in and compete for positions.”
Yeah, he's definitely going to be another wish-washy kid like Rakeem... LOL, Rakeem could not sniff E.J.'s talent or character on and off the football field.
I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE E.J. WEAR THE BLUE & GOLD

I've been behind on the recruits. I thought Isiah had a bunch of scholarships to offer? Only 4? Is Chris Coleman getting a scholly or is he out. They need his size next year bad.

De la rosa is 6'10, harris is6'9 (think ferguson 2.0), KeDorian is 6'6/6'7. Moore is back at 6'8, Frederick is 6'7, wouldnt be surprised to see another big come on board later.

Teddy Bridgewater was recruiting his teammates to UM when he committed too.
He took Eli Rogers with him to Louisville instead.

Brandon Moore is 6'10˝ with bad knees... so he plays much smaller
