Thursday / April 10.
  • NEW YORK — Luther Muhammad and his Sports U teammates are going to be like The Beatles this spring and summer.

    Crowds wherever they go.

    The 6-foot-4 Muhammad had a slew of coaches watching him through the first two days of the Under Armour Association stop at Basketball City, including Notre Dame head man Mike Brey, Seton Hall head coach Kevin Willard and assistants from Butler, Cal, Cincinnati, Oregon and St. John’s.

    The Hudson Catholic guard will take a visit to Notre Dame next week before the Under Armor stop in Indianapolis.

    “Yeah, I’ll be out there,” he said. “I think I leave Thursday for it.”

    NEW YORK — If anything is clear through two days of the Under Armor Association stop here at Basketball City, it’s that Jahvon Quinerly and his Sports U teammates are going to draw huge crowds all spring and summer.

    Quinerly is in the conversation for the best point guard in the Class of 2018 and he’s looking to cut his list in the coming weeks.

    “I’ll probably cut my list pretty soon,” the Hudson Catholic floor general said Saturday. “Within the next month and a half.”

    He remains uncertain what he’ll cut it to, but said “5-7, something like that.”

    NEW YORK — A slew of high-major college coaches were on hand at Basketball City for Day One of the first NCAA live period of 2017, but none made a bigger first impression than the new Georgetown coach.

    Patrick Ewing, all 7 feet of him, made his recruiting debut on the Under Armor Association circuit on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, not far from where he spent the bulk of his NBA career with the Knicks in the 1980s and ’90s. He wore a collared white shirt, a black leather jacket and a blue Georgetown baseball cap.

    Ewing, who was hired April 3, is now looking to recruit a whole new generation of players, many of whom were born about the time he was wrapping up his career in the early 2000s.

    Less than half an hour before the first game tipped on Friday night, Ewing landed his first recruit when Canadian point guard Jahvon Blair  verbally committed to the Hoyas, as first reported by ZAGSBLOG.

    “I’m excited to work with the entire coaching staff and play for Patrick Ewing Sr. ” Blair Tweeted.
