Josh Barr on Montrose Christian getting richer.
No word on whether Stu Vetter will have Tristan Spurlock and Terrell Vinson back for their senior seasons at Montrose, but they'll add yet another perimeter player in 6-foot-5 Dadrian Collins, according to the Post's Josh Barr. Spurlock's recruiting exploded this past summer, while Vinson is all over the place as well. Both are big-time recruits.
Personally, I'm a huge Spurlock fan myself. Other than No.1 ranked John Wall (could he be going to Baylor?), Spurlock was one of the most impressive guys at the Boo Williams Tournament in April. He's 6-foot-7, can knock down the outside shot and will only get stronger.
Collins played with Boo Williams this past AAU season, and surely caught some people's eyes after running under the radar at Woodside High in Virginia Beach last year.
There's also a YouTube video of Collins' highlight reel.

9 A.M. — SI Weighs In On the Basketball Battle For D.C.
Luke Winn's Sports Illustrated blog on the deep-rooted basketball roots of D.C. and how its changing — http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/si_blogs/basketball/ncaa/2006/08/battle-for-dc.html
This blog post is nearly two years old, which makes it a nice time to reflect with the recent area college verbals. Just look at how stacked the Class of 2007 was for the area.
"Its Class of 2007 crop includes three 5-star prospects -- PF Michael Beasley (headed to Kansas State), SG Austin Freeman (Georgetown) and PG Chris Wright (uncommitted) -- and four with 4-star grades -- PF Jeff Allen (Virginia Tech), center Anthony McClain (uncommitted), SG Nolan Smith (Duke) and PF Julian Vaughn (uncommitted). From that group, all but Wright and Allen play for the D.C. Assault, an adidas outfit that may be the East Coast's top AAU team. "
The Assault, one of the premier AAU teams had a down crop this past season, but should be better in the years to come. It didn't help that Boo Williams is starting to raid some of the area's players (Kendall Marshall and Tristan Spurlock to name a few).
The story listed "Pipelines" for each hotbed; for D.C., it read, "Maryland and Georgetown have divided the city's spoils in recent years, but North Carolina's Roy Williams has muscled in to sign freshman Marcus Ginyard and '06 freshman Tywon Lawson."
Maryland's pipeline is all but dried up, while Georgetown's is overflowing.
