Bingo!

He beat my alma mater in the first round of the playoffs. Wasn't expecting to see an O'Fallon reference on VN.

Sounds like a good prospect though.

Any update on this guy, BTO?

Odd you mentioned him, I was just thinking about him the other day and how I haven't heard anything on him lately.

I'm trying to find anything, aau results or recruiting news, but there isn't much. If I find anything I'll definitely post it.

I was just looking at the big board and saw that he was rated as a 96 on Rivals and we are leading but I hadn't seen anything on him in a long time.

Yea I actually just found his aau stats. He plays for the st Louis eagles in the eybl league, great aau league, very competitive and realistic numbers.

He's averaging:

For someone who was described as having a weak jump shot, that's a pretty solid 3 pt percentage. Although that free throw shooting is Shaq-like abysmal.

Well I know he was busting it to improve his shot. This last eybl session hr didn't shoot as well, but season averages look good. He's definitely a guy who prefers to drive and get to the free throw line rather than shoot jumpers.

Obviously not a fair comparison, but his game sounds like d wade, especially early on. Very aggressive driving to the hoop, and attacking the basket, but the shot needed some work. He improves that shot and hell be tough to stop on offense.

Yeah, he seems like a really good prospect. I definitely want him and it sounds like CCM is really working on him.

I'll post he final numbers after Monday's session ends, but Munson is having a solid weekend so far. The guy shoots more ft than just about anyone in the league from what I've seen and that's saying something for a guard. The issue though is his % isn't very good, however that's an easy fix. I was high on Munson for the beginning and the more I see the more excited I am about him.

Hopefully he sends a lot of time on his shot throughout the year. If he does that he could definitely be an elite scorer IMO.

Hope he ends up a vol.

Somewhat surprisingly, Tennessee is his "lone offer" and, since that's an old offer, I doubt it's so solid any more.

DeShawn Munson, a talented class of 2013 prospect from East St. Louis (IL), does not have as much college interest as one would expect. The 6’3 combo guard from the St. Louis Eagles claims a lone offer fromTennessee to go along with interest from Southern Illinois, Florida State, Xavier, and St. Louis. He visitedTennessee around August of last year and he will be tripping to Xavier next month. Those two schools,Tennessee and Xavier, are Munson’s favorites. He said of why that is, “I like the school and the organization and I feel I fit at one of those two spots.”

I really like his game, and think he could be good, but obviously with the talent we are in on you have to pass on Munson.

I agree. Just was somewhat shocked everyone else seems to have dropped him, too.

He's the backup to the backup plan.
