He is coming here this weekend.
Sounds like a real team player with a high IQ.

LU fan for LIFE!

Not to confuse me with any of the other bailout plans that have been going on.

We could certainly use another 180 pound shooting guard.

They list him as a shooting guard, but the way they describe his game, he sounds more like a PG. "He has put together several triple double games already this year". That's hard to do in a 32 minute HS game

. "He can influence a game without scoring a point" Sounds like a certain player we know.

He has a profile on the virgina prep website that has pictures and stuff.

I am horrible and making these things.

Considering the high rating and the glowing descriptions of his game, it seems strange he's still available at this late date, especially since he plays AAU for Boo Williams. His players generally don't slip under the radar.

Theus is supposed to be headed to the state of Washington for a visit to see Washington State.

Wonder how that'll change with the coaching change.

i don't know anything about this player, but i'll say this much: if McKay can develop a pipeline with the hampton/va beach/norfolk areas then LU will be in pretty good shape for a long time...

He has been behind the ODU bench for about 8 games this year.
There was an article somewhere on the web where he listed his possible teams... GMU, can't remember any others.... he didnt mention LU. I think we were in the mix but got a point guard commit about 3 weeks ago.
He is the dude in the light blue sweatshirt.

This kid has serious interest in LU and we have a good chance at landing him...but we have several options with this open scholly right now...about 6 to be exact

Except they usually didn't put Waldo smack dab in the middle of the screen!

I'll gave you a hint.... two guys on the bench sat down so you could see him!

that would have to be the worst wheres waldo picture ever if it was one haha...

but this guy looks pretty nasty from what i have heard from some guys he has played against... he has gone on some big games against good teams

on better news he has a little brother who will most likely take over the team next year, so it could mean good things if he comes here with recruiting his brother

umm both of uva's commitments are not sure if they are coming, evans might not even qualify. Everything is still open at UVA. Spurlock will probably reopen his commitment with a defensive oriented coach hired as well. Plus with a coaching change I'm sure some players will be out the door

No...he's the highest rated recruit in VA not to sign, though. I can't imagine him not going to ODU.

Im not sure if ODU is still looking at Theus. We signed a guard and may be going for Donte Morales.

Here's a link to hampton roads all tidewater team info.
http://hamptonroads.com/2009/03/2009-al ... ll-part-ii

Norcom teammates Darius Theus and Deshawn Williams will end up playing somewhere on the next level. Theus is supposed to be headed to the state of Washington for a visit to see Washington State. Air Force is very high on Williams. Landstown’s Donte Morales is looking at many schools including Quinnipiac, Boston, VMI, Old Dominion and Missouri-Kansas City.
