UVA-Wise did talk with McMurray but McMurray wasn't interested. The coach at UVA-Wise knew this and that's why it didn't go any further. ETSU and another 1 or 2 D1 schools were involved but McMurray decided on Carson Newman. By the way, McMurray was 5-7 from 3 point range and tied for leading scorer with 15. CN lost by 10.
Tompkins was 2nd team all state.
They had brandon, zack, housey, Tony (for most the time), Papst, Young were all from the SWVA area.
Bobby was from Tabb, Parker is from Bristol, Ricky was from Tenn. somewhere.
It may not be possible to recruit as local for basketball, but I will never be conveinced that its not possible for baseball. Hall, Nixon, Wyatt and maybe a few others are all I remember at UVAW since 1998.
My apologies on Tompkins, he must have improved after I graduated. I think he was a year or 2 behind me.
