BuckeyeGrove.com - Spiece: Richmond shines on day two (free)

Closing out the night was an extremely talented game between the Illinois Wolves and Indiana Elite Team Indiana. The Wolves are led by Chasson Randle, Nana Egwu, and Jacob Williams. Team Indiana has a stacked roster which includes Jeremiah Davis, Justin Gant, Austin Etherington, and Darwin Davis.

The game, which came down to the final seconds, was a good one. Randle and Egwu didn't play a ton of minutes, but when they were in there they were impressive. Egwu has a unique ability to block shots, and on offense he finishes above the rim quite easily. Also he has some feel for the game, and is getting better every time he steps on the floor. Randle has the look of a big time point guard who can score. Right now he is able to take his man off the dribble with ease, and when he gets into the lane he knows when to shoot and when to pass.

2011 target Chasson Randle has been busy

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (GoldandBlack.com) - It's been a chaotic past month for Chasson Randle .

But for the top Purdue 2011 recruiting target, that's been a good thing.

The guard from Rock Island, Ill., committed the bulk of his June to playing for USA Basketball's 16-and-under national team in the FIBA Americas Under-16 Championship, where Team USA went 5-0 in the tournament, played in Mendoza, Argentina, to win the gold medal.

"I loved it," Randle said last week, after helping his Rock Island High School team to the championship game of Purdue's fifth and final team camp session in West Lafayette. "It was the greatest thing I've experienced in my whole career."

Randle hopes to return to USA Basketball next summer to play for the 17-and-under team that'll compete in 2010 FIBA Under-17 World Championship in Hamburg, Germany.

For the 6-foot-1 guard, the experience was worth the demands that came with it.

He left June 5 for the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs for USA Basketball's Men's Developmental Team training camp, held June 6-12.

After making the team, Randle traveled straight to Argentina for the tournament, which was held June 17-21. After playing five games in as many days, with a sore ankle, no less, Randle came home for about 24 hours, then accompanied Rock Island to Purdue's team camp Thursday.

Randle's Team USA involvement obviously left him little time to worry about recruiting, but the trip to West Lafayette did give him a chance to make a return visit to one of the schools he's heavily considering.

Purdue's just one of many major schools to have already offered the rising junior, joining the likes of Illinois, Iowa State, Ohio State, Indiana, Wisconsin and a slew of others. Florida State and Miami (Fla.) most recently laid down offers, too.

GoldandBlack.com: Busy June for recruit

[Buckskin86]

Chasson Randle, 6-2 rising junior combo guard, Rock Island (IL): Another USA Basketball participant, Randle?s name is buzzing in the Midwest, but I have a feeling his days of being relatively unknown nationally are coming to an end because the long, smooth youngster has an amazingly efficient all-around game, consisting of quick drives to the bucket, a sweet stroke from beyond the arc and off the dribble from mid-range, tough defense, the ability to run the show and enough athleticism to finish over the top of bigs.

Rock Island's Randle busy whittling list

If Chasson Randle isn't careful, he could become a big-time fan of big-time college football.

Already, Rock Island's junior basketball standout has seen Southern Cal nip Ohio State in a prime-time affair in Columbus, Ohio.

This weekend, he'll take in Notre Dame's visit to Purdue.

College hoops, of course, is what Randle really is looking into.

The blue-chip recruit is in the process of whittling down a list of contenders from 10 Division I schools that already have offered scholarships.

That list consists of Illinois, Iowa, Iowa State, Purdue, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Florida State and Miami.

Randle said he still is fielding interest from even higher-profile programs such as Duke, but said his focus right now is on the schools that have made official offers.

"I'm listening to what they have to say, but I am just looking into the schools that have shown the interest to extend offers," he said. "Right now, I am nowhere near making a decision. I just want to cut my list down. I want to let schools know I am not interested.

Randle said he doesn't intend to commit this school year, and his campus visits this fall are unofficial and won't count against an NCAA limit.
