I just read on the Enquirer prep sports blog that UC and Dayton have also offered this kid. I would love to get another kid out of Dayton's backyard. Would this be the first recruiting battle between Mick and Sean?

Nope. Both schools went after Yancy Gates from Withrow hard and Sippin Mick won that battle.

To be honest that guy seems like a bad apple to me. I'm glad Gates didn't come to X.

Can't disagree with you on that. The kid is talented and huge, but has some growing up to do (as evident by his recent suspension by his coach, Walt McBride).

Flyerfan here. AP could be a good. I went and watched him play against Josh Benson and Dunbar earlier this year. AP is every bit of 6-9 going on 6-10. He has all the makings of a very good power foward. Played with great heart and actually outplayed JB that game. JB was just much more polished and made it look "easier". If either UD or X can land him it's a pretty good pickup. I did see BG at that game and a rep from UC.

I just got this sent to me from a buddy of mine. I am not sure so accurate the information or how credible this "source" is but the choices seem to be on par with his thoughts on staying relatively close to home....

This is inaccurate. Payne doesn't even know who he likes.

[DC Muskie]

I wouldn't take it as accurate. Dayton and Xavier are very much in it.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if South Central Arkansas Tech were in it because Payne liked their cafeteria.

It's really going to be interesting to see who he picks...except if it's Dayton.
