Falcon Hoops Gets New Verbal

Coach Orr has signed what we believe to be his third recruit for the 08-09 season.

Country Day guard to Bowling Green
The leading scorer from a state championship team -- Birmingham Country Day's Darnell "Dee" Brown -- has committed to Bowling Green.

Brown is a scoring guard at 6-foot-2, but has the strength, leaping ability and confidence to make up for the lack of ideal height, and can definitely get it done in the MAC. He's very creative and confident with the ball and a dangerous three-point shooter from the corner. With his skill level, could play some point guard. He rebounds well, given the physical attributes just mentioned.

Brown's Country Day team will be our No. 1 ranked team in the preseason. He is Bowling Green's second Michigan, and Oakland County, recruit, following 6-7 Austin Calhoun of Southfield.

With Calhoun, and Scott Thomas of Delaware, that gives us three players in that class. Which seems odd, given that we only have one guy graduating (Hamblet). I'm sure Coach Orr can count, so we may get some additional roster news as practice starts in a couple of weeks.
