Previously Unreported Signings: Class Of
2001 @ U.C. Davis--(July 1, 2001)

We frankly can't remember whether we reported these signings, which is either a sign of advancing senility, or just laziness on our part, but we thought we'd mention them before they get too old. And since these are three local guys from SoCal, who have all chosen to attend the same university next year, we thought it would be a nice way of leaving the class of 2001 behind as we all begin focusing on the classes of 2002, 2003 and beyond with the imminent start of the July recruiting season. So, before we move on, here's the news we got from the UC Davis website concerning three players who readers of SoCalHoops have been familiar with for the past four years: Jason Greenlea, Jesse Pruitt and Ryan Moore. Here's the official press release of their signing with D-II UC Davis:
