Two freshmen at Clover Park--David Crisp and Ahmaad Rorie--drawing interest from GU, UW and WSU:
The freshmen—they call each other cousins—both started playing basketball early. Rorie, who was born in Chicago, got his first hoop at age 2; Crisp, a Kentucky native, spent his early years in the gym with his dad, who was in the Army. After their families moved to Washington, the boys began playing together—and sometimes against each other.
“We thought, if we could play on the same team, it would be domination,” Crisp said.
In addition to donning to donning green and gold jeresys together, they both play for the Northwest Panthers, an AAU team that will have them headed to tournaments in Las Vegas next week and again in July.
They will be playing in front of a lot of college scouts, Rorie pointed out.
“They’re all going to be in the front row,” he said.
But after this memorable spring, they are starting to get used to it.
Rorie and Crisp, both of whom have grade-point averages of above 3.6, intend to get every Division I coach in the country into the Clover Park gym over the next three years. Therefore, they said, as exciting as the anticipation is, they aren’t in a hurry to get to the next level.
“We can wait,” Crisp said. “We’re trying to get all of these scouts here —we really want every college in the country to want us, (so) we want that time to work and improve our game.”
In the meantime, they have some immediate goals, namely taking the Warriors back to state in 2012.
