Merry Christmas CardChroniclers: 2011 Top Prospect Commits

PrintWell, that's a nice way to cap off a wonderful Christmas (nerd alert: CardsFan922 got a Kindle and is excited). After the original excitement over 2010 has given way to defections and misses, the 2011 class needs to be a pretty big deal. And we are well on our way. Meet Wayne Blackshear, a top-15 or possible top-10 recruit who verballed to the Cards today:
Apparently he and his classmate and teammate Mike Shaw want to play together, so this could be a double pick-up. Overall, a really big deal and another reason to stay excited about Cardinal basketball.
Now the eyes of Cardinal (and Big Blue) nation turn their a-little-too-obsessive-eyes to a certain junior point guard from Indy, who would be a huge get and addition to both schools' 2011 classes.

This is an awesome commitment
and I’m pretty sure that it currently gives us the #1 class in 2011. Unfortunately we are just entering 2010.
One baseball game, he came to the plate and heard a woman in the crowd shout to the pitcher, "I'll make you a chocolate cake if you strike out that 'so-and-so'!" Says Strong: "I hit that ball out of the park. Then I looked at her like, 'Do I get a cake now?' "
Now let's hope he and the rest
don’t slowly change their minds during the next year and a half. We’ve watched too many would-be stellar classes fall apart over the years during Pitino’s tenure here. We’re way past due a top five recruiting squad.
But for now, this is definitely good news.

Great looking athlete but
always goes right in these highlights?
I might have missed some
but I only saw two plays where he really had an option of going right or left. The first he was near the left elbow and drove right to the lane and went to the basket. The other he was near the right elbow and had a defender on his left hip and an open path to the basket.
Everything else I saw where jumpshots and lay-ups.
One baseball game, he came to the plate and heard a woman in the crowd shout to the pitcher, "I'll make you a chocolate cake if you strike out that 'so-and-so'!" Says Strong: "I hit that ball out of the park. Then I looked at her like, 'Do I get a cake now?' "
