I found this on basketball recruiting website. It listed Brackins as the 4th best performer at the Cactus Classic this May

Here is what they say


4. Craig Brackins, Lancaster (Calif.) Brewster Academy document.write(insertImage('/IMAGES/PROSPECT/PHOTO/CRAIGBRACKINS11_14100.JPG', '', 0, 120, 100, 1, '', 'Rivals.com', 1144068953000, '', 1014, 'Align=Right'));

Speaking of potential NBA players, Craig Brackins needs to be in the discussion.
With his long arms and high shoulders at a good 6-foot-9, Brackins scored in the post with nifty foot work and both left handed and right handed jump hooks. He also has a nice shooting touch out to the three-point line and handles the ball and passes it with poise. On the defensive end, Brackins was one of the top shot blockers at the event and proved to be very difficult to score over. One of his better defensive plays of the weekend was when he missed a three-pointer from the corner and then sprinted to the other end and other side of the court to block a shot in transition. Not afraid of contact and willing to mix it up inside, Brackins does get pushed around at times and needs to get stronger and learn to play with a lower center of gravity. But the fact is that as good as Brackins is now, his best ball lies ahead of him.
 
Thanks for the post, with all the negativity about fball going on this gives me something to look forward to!
 
I just hope people don't get discouraged if we have an "average" year. I think we are going to see some solid basketball, but unless some of these new players are really really good we are going to outtalented every big 12 game. Minus maybe Neb. and Colorado.....
 
But getting back on topic, Brackins is going to be a stud and McD is doing some sweet recruiting!!

Absolutely. By far McD has stepped up and done something for this program for recruting right off the bat, now he just needs to translate it onto the floor. And after the work he did with UNI, i dont see that being a problem.

It shows that you dont always need TRADITION, to get the players you desire. Sometimes you just need the right person. I hope this takes notice for the football program.
 
Is anyone else concerned about how it says that his college choice is undecided?

NO!!!

The article was posted May 23, 2006 after the Cactus Classic Tourney this summer. Brackins didn't commit to us until June7.
