Oy!
This article says Ponds and his high school buddy Rasheem Dunn who's balling out at St. Francis, were a package deal and on their way to Creighton. Distance from NYC and family seemed to be the wrench in those plans.
Dunn's line for St. Francis this year, 15ppg - 5.7rpg - 2.3apg - 1.2spg. Not a great 3P% or FG% but having Ponds and a player like Dunn would have been nice.

Talent identification was spot on, in this case.

All due respect HTA, never have understood these posts, Russell Westbrook posts, etc. Being "close" in recruiting or in life is kind of sad.

I always assumed we were a distant 3rd, that Providence was ahead of us in the end.
