Isaiah Whaley doesn’t remember exactly when Jeff Battle began recruiting him “but he has been recruiting me for awhile,” Whaley told pcbb1917.com this week. Whaley is a 6’9 power forward who hails from Battle’s former home state of North Carolina. Whaley transferred to Evelyn Mack Academy about a month ago following an arrest for petty larceny.

There continue to be new names popping up in this recruiting effort and the new guy this week is Iran Bennett.
