Indianapolis North Central guard Eric Gordon is considered one of the nation's top sophomore prospects by ScoutHoops.com. The 6-3 Gordon plays on the Spiece Indy Heat AAU team that includes Daequan Cook, Greg Oden and Mike Conley. It is possible Gordon could follow Cook and maybe the others to Ohio State.

Gordon from Indianapolis North Central averaged 26 points a game this past season. He is ranked the #1 shooting guard for the 2007 class. Eric says OSU is his leader and that he could definetly see himself playing with Cook, Conley and Oden at the next level.

Gordon had 16 points in the tournament championship game against D-One Greyhounds, who has O.J. Mayo, Bill Walker on their roster.

Sweet shooting sophomore guard Eric Gordon from Indianapolis North Central is already ranked by many as one of the top ten players in the Class of 2007. This weekend he was another big reason the Spiece Indy Heat were able to take home the Run 'N Slam championship title. After the final we had the chance to speak briefly to him about the challenge of facing O.J. Mayo, the #1 player from his class, his top five schools at this early stage and more. [more]

Gordon did a great job on O.J. in the game, limiting him to 27 points, with most of those points coming in the second half when Gordon was not guarding him. Gordon's top five schools are Ohio State, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and North Carolina.

If Conley & Oden do indeed commit here in the next couple weeks, I wonder what our chances are of getting Gordon to jump on board early? I know he's a youngster, but if another top 5 palyer nationally wants to jump on board, I show him the entrance. He has been saying that he might like to play with Oden&Conley in college which I like hearing!

At the Adidas May Classic in Bloomington Friday.....Gordon had six three-pointers and 28 points in a win.

One might think with Greg Oden away out of town that the Spiece Indy Heat might be vulnerable to another talented squad. Think again, this team is so loaded that when on star is gone another steps up. That is what Eric Gordon did Friday night with scorching 11-14 shooting including 6-8 from beyond the arc as the Indy Heat easily beat a very loaded Blessed IJN Elite team, 78-65, in early Adidas May Classic pool play last night at Assembly Hall.</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

Ticker on top of bnuts says that Gordon has named a leader from the Big Ten.

I'm assuming Ohio State?

From ScoutHoops.com...Gordon hurt himself in the semis and did not play in the finals as Spiece won the tournament. Gordon says Illinois is his leader, with his top 5 also including OSU, Missouri, Indiana and Arizona. He is also considering UNC.

I didn't see this coming, but we have a long way to go before Gordon will be making a decision...right now he seems to like the fact that Illinois has a guard-oriented system and is losing so many guards this year.

Another update with Illinois being the leader along with Ohio State, Missouri, Indiana, and Arizona in the mix at this point.

(There is a long way to go in his recruitment and I am not concerned with the change of his leader, this is normal in the process)
