"Dream school" is the recruiting equivalent to being " friend zoned".

Not sure about this. Huntington Prep's colors are "carolina blue". But judging from its website, HP's former players don't seem to have any discernible tarheel trajectory. I don't see bryant wasting his time at WVU. So ... I' not sure this means much.
But I'd be interested to hear what Francis or Tee has to say about this development.

It's hurts us somewhat imo because our biggest advantage was having him close to home and now that's not the case. I'm sure the staff would've preferred him to end up at Brewster or another prep up north. Huntington doesn't have a pipeline to certain schools, so I wouldn't worry about him being forced to go somewhere specifically. It does give schools like UNC, UK, and others that he likes to visit and recruit him more now. I can't imagine JB being too excited about flying out to WV for visits and open gyms.

How did he end up out there? Did he not consider the northeast prep schools?

With Francis on this one.
Definitely a hurts donut.
Still, maybe he'll get homesick. Hopefully there are a lot of bullies at that school.
Really big bullies.

This is the first time that a serious target has went to Huntington. So we'll see what happens.

I know right.
Hopefully Huntington doesn't have Bryant taking bogus online classes that got Rathan-Mayes ineligible. Interesting how Wiggins and Rathan-Mayes both basically went the same school route and somehow Wiggins is cleared but not Rathan-Mayes hmmmmm.

Mayes had classes disallowed from Christian Academy in North Carolina earlier in his HS career - Huntington Prep is legit I believe

"Rathan-Mayes attended Huntington Prep, along with fellow Canadian and Kansas signee Andrew Wiggins, last season. Sources told ESPN.com that there were issues with online classes Rathan-Mayes took while at the school. There were also concerns from the NCAA stemming from Rathan-Mayes' time at Christian Faith Center in North Carolina."
Wiggins attended Christian Faith as well but left halfway through and returned back to Canada before finishing up at Huntington.

Maybe b/c Wiggins had the good sense to escape CFC and run back up to Canada for some real classes. At any rate, FWIW, my guess is that TB attends the elite camp. He's had a long H of interest.

"Rob Fulford, coach of the Huntington Prep basketball team, tweeted a message last Thursday that welcomed Bryant to the program. The actual school Bryant will attend is Saint Joseph Central Catholic."

Interesting though that of all the prep/high schools in the northeast and in the country that he chooses one in West Virginia. Being at Kearney didn't hurt his teammate being recruited to SU nor did it hurt our local JD players staying at JD.
