  • Kentucky Leading for Lamb; Iona Lands McFadden

    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    New York native Doron Lamb says Kentucky is his leader, which is good news for the Wildcats.

    The 6-foot-4, 175-pound Lamb told Jeff Goodman of FoxSports.com  that he’s “still open”, but that Kentucky “is at the top.”

    He recently took an unofficial to Lexington.

    “It was a great experience,” Lamb, the No. 5 point guard in the Class of 2010, said at the Paul Pierce Skills Academy in Boston. “The fans go crazy. I hung out with the coaching staff, John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins, and got to see the practice facility.”

    Lamb has also visited Louisville and told Jeff he’s also considering Kansas, Oklahoma, Marquette and UConn.

    MCFADDEN TO IONA

    Mike McFadden, a 6-8, 225-pound four man from Newark Technology, has verbally committed to Iona.

    Iona beat out Penn State, New Orleans, Robert Morris, Quinnipiac, Cleveland State, Tulane and Rhode Island.

    “Yeah,” McFadden said. “I wanted to stay close to home and that was a good fit for me. They have a good education and I like the way their program is.”

    McFadden is fully qualified.

    “I should be able to play,” he said.

    He becomes the fourth player in Iona’s recruiting class, joining Chris Pelcher, Rashard McGill and Ben Mockford.
