The glimmer of hope that coach Robert Burke might land Levi Noel as his first recruit was extinguished last night.
Noel, a 6-foot-5 forward, whose high school coach says he can play 1 through 4, has committed to Eastern Illinois of the much more highly-regarded Ohio Valley Conference.
Whether he has actually signed, I'm not sure, but that would be a formality at this point.
Look no further than his Facebook profile picture for proof.
If that were not enough, one of his friends writes on his wall at 9:47 p.m. last night to, among other things, congratulate him on choosing Eastern Illinois. Noel responds by, among other things, thanking him.
Other than the nearly lost hope of landing Justin Burrell, I do not know who the Mount is recruiting for next year although there have been recruits making visits.
Two things I would expect to see are Burke using his international ties to land someone late and for Burke to continue hunting down a point guard other than Burrell.
As of right now the Mount has three scholarships to give for the incoming class and only one of them is taken by Milan Brown's recruit Jeff James of Bowie High School.

Just hope that naming Paulus assistant coach would be enough to sway Burrell back. The fact that Burrell hasnt signed with another school has to be in the Mounts favor. Maybe Jeff James has been in his ear.
