Interesting article to lead things off (H/T to sayheycord) on Spring Grove (Pa.) guard Eli Brooks. He's smitten on Villanova, but has been most recruited by mid-majors to date.

A draft and stash of sorts, he could be the type of prospect that bleeds blue and white and is content to develop in the program.
