[Bluethunder]

Reportedly has offers from Indiana State, Middle Tenn. St, SMU and Weber State. Several others Texas schools are interested. Location does not help us

[Jason Svoboda]

"SMU, Indiana State, Middle Tennessee, Weber State, Nebraska, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Kansas State, Providence and Wichita State, have all called and most have seen me play."

From a recent Rivals article.

[Jason Svoboda]

"I can't really say who my favorite is right now. There are some schools that I like more than others but I can't really say. I'm going to see what happens. I haven't really visited any other schools other than SMU, North Texas and Texas A&M. I'm going to go try to visit Nebraska sometime soon and then Wichita State. I don't know what else my parents have planned."
From a recent Rivals article. Doesn't look good for us. He also just visited SMU for the third time.

Anything new on this kid?

Not really. He made First Team All-State and the All-State All-Tournament team. His AAU season gets kicked off tomorrow if I remember reading correctly. There is a big Texas regional tourney going on.

Jonathan Holmes (http://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/viewprospect.asp?Sport=2&pr_key=99386), 2011 PF, San Antonio Antonian Prep/San Antonio RoHawks 17: Holmes has a reputation of being a go-to player, and he didn't disappoint at the GASO. He scored, rebounded and played defense. Holmes also played with a swagger that attracts the top recruiters.
From a Great American Shoot Out Recap on Rivals.

Probably was...when I taught/coached in Bedrock during the early 80's, J.R.'s bros coached @ Ooltic JHS and the younger bros (Layne 6'5" F Needmore) had graduated from Evansville during the early 70's before suffering a tragic construction accident death.

[Jason Svoboda]

"I have high interest in SMU, Texas Tech, Nebraska and Colorado, but I can't really say those are my top four," Holmes said. "I would say I like them all pretty much the same right now."
From a recent article on Rivals. Plans to narrow it down soon and possibly commit.

[Jason Svoboda]

Offered by Purdue today.

[TJames]

[Jason Svoboda]

Has narrowed it down to Texas A&M and Texas.

[long gone]

I don't know if we had a chance of getting him but the three previous threads do not help the recruiting efforts.

[long gone]

Commits to the University of Texas. He is good.

I think this is a testament to Gudino's eye for talent. I believe he was credited with finding Holmes and we were in on him before most everyone else.
