Thanks for the post Brian

Alex Kline ‏@TheRecruitScoop4m2014 Westerville-Central (OH) SG Eric James has committed to Duquesne, per a source.

Looks like a nice pick up for the Dukes. Go Dukes.

Interesting (for me) being a Columbus area kid. I can't think of too many we've got from there, at least recently. I'm shouldn't even pretend like I can project what he'll do here but the height and some of the finishing in traffic (loved the crafty one off the back cut) on the highlight tape vs HS/AAU comp had me think of BJ Monterio. Unlike BJ, the three point stroke looks a little more sound and Scout has him as a 3 star so that's probably more highly regarded than BJ was.

Regardless, welcome to the Bluff Eric and I look forward to seeing how it plays out.

Hey all, got a quick post up on the P-G blog on the commitment and what it means for the recruiting class. The skinny: they're going hard after Hampton twins Ryan and Collin Luther to fill the final two spots and get some more local flavor on the roster — just three PA natives on the roster today, even with the Micah Mason transfer.

(It won't let me post the link until I've posted twice ...)

Did he get any other offers from any Good BB Schools?

FanODukes · 9/27/2013 11:08 am

UCLA, Virgina and NC State overlooked him, like they did Michael Jordan.

Who cares; we got him.

Welcome Eric, can't wait to see you on the hardwood at AJP.

I think the numbers on his profile might be a little outdated. I've seen him listed at 6'4" to 6'6" and he appeared to be bigger than 6'3" when he was on his visit last week.

3 star, sounds good to me.

AND HE WEARS #23 -- Welcome on Board Eric

Okay, I'll take that as a no, he wasn't offered by any big name successful BB schools. Please understand my question wasn't meant to be negative. I was just asking a question since often we get to see who else offered...and often, though not always, if a player has strong interest from some of "those" schools it says something about how far our recruiting has come.
