Basketball recruits in town

Head coach Dave Dickerson and the men's basketball team hosted a pair of highly-touted prospects this weekend, according to Scout.com. Evan Ravenel and Shaquille Johnson were in town Saturday (probably to check out the football game) on official visits. As of now VA Tech seems to be Tulane's biggest competition for both players. We'll see if Dickerson can work his magic and pry players away from BCS conference schools this year.

Of course, keep in mind that last year's big-time recruit, Kris Richard, didn't even see the court while Kevin Sims, a lesser-known prospect, was one of Tulane's best players in '06-'07.

Sims averaged 26 ppg in high school, so he was no slouch. Richard redshirted, and I think he's going to be awesome next season.
