TGRFN-Eackles signed with a school up north. it is a mid-major type school. I've forgotten the name of the school, but he did sign. And that is where I had him projected to go, even though UNC was very high on Eackles, I was not that high on him. He is a good player, but I didn't think he was SEC material as UNC did. And the biggest question I had about the kid is his 3-4 different high schools he attended in a short period of time. That to me is a red flag and it also came up in conversation with some college coaches that i spoke to about him.

How is that a red flag?

He moved with his dad

His dad played at Broadmoor and they came back home. Since EBR schools suck he came to Zachary

I've seen both him and Thornton play in high school

Ledrick was MUCH better. Of course Thornton developed more of a consistent jumper after he left Tara

He signed with a nobody team, Oakland University or some such.

Ike-the red flag to me is when you play for a state championship (Family Christian), then he transfered to Glen Oaks, then left Glen Oaks to attend Zachary. So again tell me why he moved? And I know for a fact he didn't leave Glen Oaks because of his parents moved. I know the situation that occured for him to move. The questions still remain, why leave successful programs that he was already in? Because everyone knows it's about what you do on the AAU circuit that determines your future in prep basketball. Again, while we may disagree on his talents, my evaluation on him seems on par because looks like most colleges passed on him as well and he ended up at Oakland Univ.
