Justin Holliday

[Stallion]

6-6, 170 Wingman from Campbell High North Hollywood, California-rated the No. 17 prospect in California and has a Big Time final 5-all of which have offered-of SMU, ASU, Tech, Washington, and USC. Will visit SMU first but plans to visit all 5 schools. Averaged 20 ppg and 10.5 rpgCould be a big time double-dip because he has a younger brother who is the No. 2 ranked player in the NATION in the Class of 2008 name Jtue Holliday. Jtrue is the No. 1 ranked Shooting Guard in 2008.

Bball recruiting should be mighty interesting the next few years. KU, when Doherty was the top staff recruiter for Roy Williams, recruited a ton of kids from California. So MD presumably has some good connections there.

[PonySoprano]

His high school is actually Campbell Hall, which is a small private, college prep school in North Hollywood.

In the deja-vu department, back in 1997 there were twin brothers who played at Harvard-Westlake High in North Hollywood (another private school), Jarron and Jason Collins. They both went to Stanford and played four years (1998-2001). Their teams won 3 Pac-10 championships, and lost in the final four freshman year and the elite eight senior year. Jarron now plays for the Jazz and Jason plays for the Nets.

interesting prospect. Holiday and Roberson to go with Harp would be very promising.

If we could get Holliday we could be in the NCAA tournament next year no joke, we would have the talent. Who knows I think we have a shot this year, we will be short players, but lets see what Doherty can do...

GO PONIES!!!

La_Mustang -- don't forget to add Alex Malone to the three names you mentioned.

[LA_Mustang]

you're right 50's, I did forget Malone. His stock is on the rise.

[ponydawg]

Hope doh can do it.

Hope doh can do it.

From what I saw this evening...school spirit looked in pretty good shape. Shook hands with Coach D on the way to the stadium and saw him meet up with his family and enter in for the game. Great guy...damn glad he is here.

[Big10Ponyfan]

Shook hands with coach Doh tonight. Just mentioned I'm glad he was here. George Lynch was with him. His visibility is great. He was in his seat talking it up with fans around him. You love to see that.

[DallasDiehard]

Rivals reports offers from us, Arizona State, USC, Texas Tech and Washington. Sounds promising.
Go get him, Coach D!

[ponyboy]

You gotta think that the weekend went well. I forget every year how incredible the Boulevard is. Our facilities are incredible, save Moody which is getting an upgrade -- I'm sure the blueprints were rolled out there. Doh's a nationally recognized name. Here's hoping he closes the deal with Holliday.
