Dropped 38 points in Providence's quarterfinal win over Butler today. He and Dunn are a lot of fun to watch. Nice job representing DE - this kid needs more love!

Wouldn't it be nice to see a UD team with guys like Ben, Austin Tilghman, Donte, AJ English,etc..!!
3 of the top 25 scorers in NCAA DIV I played their HS ball in Delaware. Khallid Hart, Ben Bentil and AJ English. Not to shabby for tiny Delaware!
Marcus Gilbert (Fairfield) who played briefly at St. Elizabeth is in that Top 25 D1 scorers list too
It sure would be nice to see all those kids stay home and play together. One would think UD could definitely rise to the level they were at under Mike Brey - a tournament regular.
UD and Delstate coaches need to fired after reading this and letting all this talent continues to leave the state. New leadership is needed to keep our talented guards home. We just need to recruit bigs from out of state.
Gilbert's not in the top 25. He's at around 17ppg

Definitely need a change in the college coaches (although the guy at DelSt has only been there one year, I believe). Maybe he will start to turn them around, but the guys at UD have been there 10 years!
I understand us homers wanting our homegrown athletes to stay here @ home but how often does Del St & UD succeed w/ the homegrown stars? A lot of the times the kids that are All State here in DE are not as good as some of us believe compared to others kids in surrounding areas that are available. And maybe some of them are getting recruited here but want to step outside of DE...every situation is different. Someone mentioned Coach Brey's success @ UD but during his tenure how many DE kids were a big part of those teams? Del State as a team did well during Andre Matthews' (Seaford) tenure there about 15 yrs ago & Kendall Gray, Tyshawn Bell, Kendall Williams also did well here recently but for the most part I think that w/ DE being so small that kids want to go elsewhere as well as coaches here haven't had very much success w/ our DE players as team success goes & these coaches are coaching to win games & keep their jobs. Now if we can land one our big time players like a POY that could have went to bigger schools but chose UD or Del St then that may change the culture & interest but what kid & his parents will be willing to take that chance when other offers & more established programs are on the table?
