Plummer Planning Big East Trip

Norman Plummer, the 6-6, 205 pound junior combo/small forward from Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, N.H., told Rivalshoops.com that he hopes to visit a Big East school in the very near future.

Plummer said he has been offered a scholarship by Providence College and plans to visit the Rhode Island based school sometime over the next few weeks.

A native of Fairfield, Ohio, Plummer has already taken unofficial trips to Louisville (Kentucky game) and Ohio State (Louisville game), but neither of those programs have offered him a scholarship to this point.

Plummer played well in the second half at last week's NEPSAC quarters to help the Bobcats knock off second seeded Maine Central Institute.

In addition to the aforementioned colleges, Plummer said he also has been hearing from schools like Wyoming, Dayton and Marquette.

A lanky and long armed forward, Plummer is a bit of a tweener position wise. What he does exceptionally well is score around the basket, be it by running the floor and finishing in transition or stalking the baseline for second chance points. He consistently puts himself in good position to score and is more of a quick forward than a power forward at this stage, even though he's a master of scoring inside six feet.

That said, Plummer admitted that he needs to fine tune certain aspects of his game. In particular, he hopes to extend his range from the perimeter and improve his ball handling. If he can do those things, there's little doubt he could play the small forward or swing position at the college level.

"Anywhere around the paint I can score," Plummer said. "I am working on my perimeter game in general."

Plummer plans on suiting up for Ozie Davis' Queen City Prophets program this spring and summer. Rivalshoops.com will keep you posted on his development and recruitment in the weeks and months to come, so keep it here for the top coverage of the Class of 2004 and beyond.
