The Runhouse-Hoops Project landed another prize recruit today when the big fella arrived via bus. This kid is very athletic and blocks shots by the dozens. In the first workouts and scrimmages he has also displayed a nice assortment of post moves. We will be looking to place him for this summer or fall session.

Jack,
I’m very disappointed that I will not be able to make it to the Runhouse HS Basketball Showcase. My club is still in the playoffs and I will not be stateside in time to attend. Please forward me a video so I can keep track of your prospects at the event for future references. Take care and I will talk to you soon.

The Boys Club defeated the Belfied in an exciting DeBose & Pembleton High School Classic. The final score was 60-48 but the game was close most of the game. Carl Wallace led the way for the Boys Club with 15 points while tournament MVP Tyree Smith had 26 for Gratz. Smith was spectacular in each game. The 6′ 5″ athletic swingman displays alot of potential and can score from anywhere on the court.

2/9/09 Update Ajibola Taiwo has made a verbal commitment to attend Daytona State Junior College next season. We wish Taiwo the best of luck and know you will have great success in Coach Andre’s program.
Taiwo is a 6′ 5″ shooting guard/small forward. Very dedicated to the game. He can shoot from way beyond the 3 point line and is a strong driver to the basket. An athletic player that can give your team that spark it needs. Don’t miss out!! For more information contact Jack Whitehead at jwhitehead@runhouse.com

The Philly Triple Threat 14u team completes it’s 2008 season at the Hoop Group Jam Fest on 9/19/2008. The team has played very well this summer and many players have showed alot of improvement.
We wish the team the very best and know that they will give it their all as they fight their way to the “Chip”
Former Southern Illinois big man Kobby Acquah dropped Runhouse a line this week to let us know that he is “excited about what we are doing for the young kids in Ghana.” Acquah hails from Cape Coast, Ghana and completed his collegiate career as a Southern Illinois Saluki. Prior to playing at Southern Illinois he played at Clark University where he was second in the nation in blocked shots. Acquah is now an engineer while rehabbing a knee injury.
Acquah has offered to assist our players with mentorship and has already spoken to them this week. He is planning to return to Ghana in December and visit the Runhouse-Hoops camp in Cape Coast. We at Runhouse wish Kobby the very best and are glad that we have established a friendship with him.
