The high school season is heading down the home stretch and that means the Swish 'N Dish Spring Warm-Up is right around the corner April 1-3, 2011.  We look at that as well as new updates on the likes of Tokoto, Harris, etc. in today's news and notes...

RECRUITING UPDATES

2012 SF Jean-Pierre Tokoto of Menomonee Falls has narrowed his list down to Connecticut, Kansas, Kentucky, Marquette, Maryland, North Carolina, UCLA, and Wisconsin. 

Purdue landed one of the rising 2013 prospects in the country as G Kendall Stephens of St. Charles East (IL) verbally committed to the Boilermakers on Monday. 

One of the top marksmen in the 2011 class is back on the board as SF Abdel Nader of Niles North (IL) re-opened his recruitment on Monday after previously committing to New Mexico.  Rumors are circulating that Nader may re-classify as a 2012 prospect and head to prep school but early indications are that schools like Louisville, Michigan State, Marquette, etc. may have any interest in Nader as a 2011 talent. 

2013 SG Nick Fuller of Sun Prairie (WI) will take a visit to Purdue this weekend according to his father.  Fuller is one of the top marksmen in the 2013 class nationally.

2011 PF/C Max Biefeldt of Notre Dame H.S. (IL) has picked up and offer from Illinois to go along with the same from Wright State, Ball State, UIC, and Valparaiso.  Bielfeldt played with the SYF Players last summer.

2013 G Bronson Koenig of La Crosse Aquinas (WI) picked up an offer from Virginia last week. 

2012 G Gary Harris of Hamilton SE (IN) has taken unofficial visits to Purdue, Michigan State, and Notre Dame the past couple of weeks.  Kentucky is now on his trail as well amongst a host of other schools.  Harris plays with the D3 Heat program during the summer.

2012 PG Jacobby Bledsoe of Hamilton SE (IN) took an unofficial visit to Indiana State on Sunday.  VCU, Kent State, and Duquesne are the latest schools to hop on the talented lead guard's recruiting trail.  Oregon State is rumored to come in for tonight's game against Pike and Kentucky bound Marquis Teague to check out the ultra quick lead guard who also plays with the D3 Heat during the summer.

Tennesse is the latest school to jump on the recuiting trail of 2013 PG Duane Wilson Jr. of Dominican (WI).
