The Prep Blog
The preps blog is designed to fill in the gaps of our high school sports coverage, providing insight into some of the stories and projects we are pursuing, and to serve as a forum to talk about some of the significant high school sports stories happening in our community.

Covering high school sports in Tacoma, Pierce County and the South Sound.

This article should not come as a surprise to anyone here, but ESPN.com's Ted Miller, formerly of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, wrote a piece on Seattle still being a hoops hot-bed, despite the Sonics moving to Boomer Sooner-land.

Also not surprisingly, Bellarmine Prep's Abdul Gaddy and Avery Bradley are mentioned, along with Franklin's Peyton Siva and Garfield's Tony Wroten.

There was no word in Miller's article on Kentwood's Josh Smith, but according to WashingtonPreps.com, he's getting plenty of interest from the basketball blue-bloods.

"Some of the schools that have offered me are Louisville, Duke, UCLA, Georgetown, Texas, U-Dub (Washington), Washington State, Gonzaga, Tennessee, all of the Pac-10," Smith told the recruiting Web site. "I know I'm forgetting some of the schools. The list just keeps getting bigger. Indiana, Kentucky and Kansas are also showing a lot of interest."
