Graduating to D-III

As the recruiting info continues to cross our screen, we’ll make sure it crosses yours. For the previous recruiting recap, click here for an earlier Daily Dose post.

As always, if you want to contribute a name, you must provide the published confirmation. (Unless you are an SID or coach, of course, in which case your word is sufficient.) You can either post the info here on the blog or e-mail to info@d3hoops.com.

Brandon LausterShawe HS guard Brandon Lauster will play at Mt. St. Joseph next season, according to The Madison (Ind.) Courier. (This is their photo, as well.) There’s a lengthy story on the newspaper’s Web site.

Delaware Valley is getting Bryan Connors from Epping HS in New Hampshire. The Exeter News-Letter story doesn’t mention what position he plays in basketball, but that’s OK. It’s a story about Epping’s baseball team but it doesn’t mention Connors’ baseball position either. All we know is he can hit.

Cincinnati Elder HS product Brian Hamrick is heading to Thomas More. He averaged 9.8 points and 5.1 rebounds, according to The Cincinnati Post.

Transylvania has a lot of holes to fill, with a rather large senior class graduating. One of the spots will be filled by LaBradford Rollins of Webster County (Ind.) HS, according to The Gleaner of Henderson, Ky.

Covington (Ky.) Catholic HS forward Danny Noll will attend Centre, according to The Cincinnati Post.

The Northbrook Star in suburban Chicago reports Glenbrook North’s Tyler Cullitan will head to Lawrence next season. He’s 6-4 and averaged 7.3 points and 2.7 rebounds. Washington U. reports that Cullitan’s teammate, Zach Kelly, will attend the UAA school. A team captain, he averaged 11 points and nine rebounds per game while shooting a team-high 54% from the field.

Maryville (Tenn.) is getting the following players, according to the Maryville Daily Times: Michael Santiago (Miami, Fla., area), Michael Meckler from Ohio, McMinn Central HS forward Blake Derrick and Anderson County point guard Jared Laverdiere.

And Newsday continues to track Long Island seniors’ post-graduation athletics plans:
Tommy Brown, Bayport-Blue Point, Ithaca
Kyle Charters, Greenport, Ithaca

Women
K.C. Blahnik signed one of those fictional letters of intent to play at Lakeland, according to the Daily Press of Escanaba, Mich. She’ll also play softball. No basketball details were given.

Leonard (Texas) HS senior Macy Boggs has committed to play at East Texas Baptist. No mention of her position either, but the Herald Democrat of Sherman, Texas, mentions she averaged 15.2 points, 3.1 assists, and 2.6 steals per game, so put her in the backcourt somewhere.

Brittany Fuller will play basketball at Stevens, according to Newsday. She had 16 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks for East Rockaway (N.Y.) in the state Class C final.

The Maryville Times says Maryville (Tenn.) has commitments from Seymour (Tenn.) HS senior Brittany Mikels and former Seymour post player Gina Owenby, a transfer from Walters State. The school also got Rachel Draper and Haley Williams from Farragut HS, both guards.

And the Newsday list:
Kasey Agostinacchio, Kellenberg, Cabrini
Kelly Dunne, Northport, Nazareth
Katie Tolan, Island Trees, Muhlenberg

(Glad we didn’t name any of our kids Katie. Lots of Katies on the Newsday list for all sports.)
