Looks like grades maybe a concern for the rest of the best of Texas' unsigned. Washburn, according to Rivals, has some high major interest. Like many, he may oversign if he does not go juco or prep. Stability is starting to be my concern with this and family. Played well as a freshman at Kimball, transferred to Duncanville, left for prep in NJ and back to Duncanville for the last 5 or so games his senior year.

Is not May 15 the last day for spring signings? If NT does sign someone, my bet is that it will be someone out of the blue. I thought Carmuche would have been a very good signing as it would have elevated next year's team. It is kind of amusing considering all the talk of getting rid of current players to make way for this or that transfer, that NT could apparently still be looking to fill its last known ship.

I think the signing period is over soon. Not sure the exact date. I was thinking it's the 12th or 19th...because I believe it always starts on a Wednesday and ends on a Wednesday.

As I recall....we did sign Kedrick Hogans in the middle of summer--July maybe? So there may be a signing period in the summer?

Alzie went very late last year as well!

Petteway, once a surprise, now a star!

About this time last year, Terran Petteway, long dreads and all, was something of an AAU ninja. It wasn't uncommon for him to sneak up on the rest of the competition and slice and dice his way through opponents left and right.

Nobody is sleeping on the 6-foot-6, 195-pound junior this year. Petteway had a stellar season at Ball High School in Galveston, and he's leading a Galveston Hornets AAU team that is coming off a championship performance at the Slo-Motion Classic two weekends ago in Houston. Petteway had 32 points and 10 rebounds in a 77-72 championship-game win against the Houston Hoopstars. "It's way different for me now," Petteway said. "Last year, people didn't really know who I was. Now when I walk into a gym, they know who I am, so they have a game plan. It feels good, but it also makes me work harder."

Preparing for bigger and better competition is nothing new to Petteway. He's been groomed well by his father, Hornets coach Terry Petteway, as well as his two older brothers, Terrell and Tavoir. Terrell played professionally in England. Both brothers never gave Terran anything easy.

It's Terran's work ethic, however, that makes him such an intriguing college prospect. Petteway has put on roughly 10 pounds since last summer, and if he's not in the weight room, he's in the gym working on his perimeter game, as well as his interior game. Petteway most likely will be a shooting guard or small forward in college, but he's capable of playing up to four positions in high school. "His work ethic is what really takes him far. He loves the game," Terry Petteway said. "He's always been a gym rat, but because of his work ethic, his game is continuing to elevate. He never stops working because he doesn't want anyone passing him by." Terry Petteway added: "He's basically been pretty consistent. What he did [at the Slo-Motion Classic] is what he did all of last year and what he did this year at his school. He can shoot, he can rebound, he can push it and he can find the open man. He creates double teams and triple teams. He's a threat."

Terry Petteway said Terran has attracted more than 50 colleges. UTEP, Tulane, Colorado, North Texas and South Alabama are among the schools that have already offered. Terran is receiving interest from Baylor, Texas, Auburn, Texas Tech, Marquette, Providence, Penn State and Georgia, among others. Petteway led Ball in scoring this past season, averaging 19.1 points per game and helping the Tors compile a 21-6 record and a trip to the UIL Class 5A playoffs. He was the District 24-5A Offensive Player of the Year playing with Ball.

When Petteway puts on a Hornets jersey, he teams up with standouts such as Ball's Mike Evans and La Marque High School's Sam Kinlaw, the MVP and Defensive Player of the Year, respectively, of District 24-5A (Kinlaw was at Dickinson High School last season). The Hornets will go for back-to-back AAU titles this weekend at the Summer Prep Showcase in Katy. The Hornets will play D-Gib Hoops-Clayton in their first pool-play game at 8 a.m. Saturday. Be assured, Petteway won't enter the gym as a virtual unknown.

"Most of the college coaches already feel he's a Division I player," Terry Petteway said of Terran. "A lot of folks are really and truly in love with his game. As the summer goes on, a lot more schools are going to feel that way, as they have an opportunity to see him." Terran added: "I'm just trying to be the guy who's going to work hard. I know there are going to be someone out there who's going to want to D me up and lock me down. I have to make sure that doesn't happen."

It's May 19th.

Your right we signed Hogans late , August 17th ( according to drc).

I guess there is a break after the 19th and then a late period starts up again later in the summer ?

I really thought those were the only 2 signining periods. There is a early signing period in November, but I can't recall a summer one.
