“I’m going to have to make two really big decisions,” Alkins said.

The former Christ the King star and Canarsie native is one of the most highly recruited boys’ basketball prospects in the country. Now the 6-foot-4 Alkins — the No. 15 ranked prospect in the country by the website Rivals — is getting phone calls from prep-school coaches as well as college ones after he announced he would not seek a fifth year of eligibility from the Catholic High School Athletic Association and return to Middle Village next season.

Wouldn't hurt my feelings if he wound up at Huntington Prep with Bridges, just a short drive from Lex.

We haven't had much luck with Huntington Prep players.

That's the worst possible thing that could happen. Huntington Prep is not only no friend of UK, they actually direct players away. They are in Adidas' back pocket. Look at what Deing, Wiggins and Thomas Bryant all have in common. And yes, I know Indiana just signed with Nike, but they were Adidas when Bryant signed.

Bryant signing with Indiana wasn't because of Adidas and Huntington Prep. He would have came to UK if Cal would have pressed harder. Also, Miles Bridges is at Huntington Prep and will attend a Nike school.

Patrick Patterson went to Huntington High, not the same school. Almost sad you don't know that with your handle being what it is.

Alkins is already an Adidas kid. Going to HP isn't going to change that fact. But it does get him close to UK. And you actually think Bridges, a Nike kid, won't wind up at UK or MSU, Nike schools, because HP will make him change affiliations?
