ESPN BEST OF THE REST RECRUITING
Posted: Mon May 21, 2007 11:59 amConference USA
Memphis: A
Memphis continues to reload and is the premier program in this conference. John Calipari landed a prize recruit in Derrick Rose a 6-3 NBA prototype point guard out of Simeon High School in Chicago. Rose is the No. 5 player in the ESPN 150. In addition the Tigers landed Jeff Robinson (Elizabeth, N.J./St. Patrick's) and the Morris twins Marcus and Markieff from Prep Charter High School in Philadelphia.
SMU: B
Matt Doherty made his presence felt quickly in the recruiting circles by attracting a number of talented players to his SMU campus. His biggest impact signee is 6-10 center Papa Dia (South Kent, Conn.)
UAB: B
Mike Davis has settled in nicely in Birmingham and he and his staff had a very good recruiting class this year. They landed 6-6 guard Terrence Roderick (Allentown, Pa./Rise Academy) and Reggie Huffman a 6-7 power forward from Western Oklahoma JC.
Only 3 teams graded from Conference USA, also better than many of the BCS schools...
