Buchanan Mulls Choice

After his Wilson High School team dispatched Bard 71-31 in DCIAA playoff action, Class of 2022 wing Darren Buchanan provided an update on his recruitment, a process he recently limited to five schools - Georgetown, George Mason, Rutgers, Virginia Tech and George Washington.

The 6'7", 225 pound standout discussed each school still being considered, decision time frame, family and more. For the interview and more, see Premium Court!

Head coach David 'Tee' Johnson leads Buchanan at Wilson, while also having worked with the young man as an assistant coach. Few know him better.

Below Johnson expounds upon Buchanon, getting his Wilson charges to play collectively and the impact of his own father, Ty. .

If it takes a village to help raise a kid, then Johnson is following his orders!

Two schools sent coaches to scout Buchanan last night - George Mason and Rutgers - with the Scarlet Knight's being represented by head coach Steve Pikiell and assistants Brandon Knight, Karl Hobbs, and TJ Thompson, a full compliment. Mason's presence was assistant coach Duane Simpkins, who has long been on Buchanan's trail. .

Bard Standouts

Despite taking a 'L', Bard, masterfully coached by Malcolm Battle has a bevy of young, talented players. Below are two:

Kwari Harviey - 6'1", 135 pound freshman guard - Has to get stronger but is fearless. Must defend his position better. Competitor that comes from a basketball family.

Steven Lamar, 6'2", 180 pound junior point guard - Strong and physical, Lamar is learning the nuances of the position. Has to become a better/more consistent shooter. A coach's dream, he has a chance. Has been offered by Virginia Union.
