Is Michigan St a foregone conclusion or do we still stand a chance?


We made his top 10.

Oregon, Purdue, Cincinnati, Gonzaga, Ohio St, Auburn, Michigan St, Michigan, and Indiana also made the list.


Cutting to a Top 10

So ridiculous, I’m sorry but some of these schools are listed for one reason only. Would imagine a list of say ND, Purdue, MSU, Gonzaga would be enough. Add OSU/Cincy if you must but whatever.


Maybe he wants to go on a school tour.

ND is on a lot of people's bucket list.


Probably missing some humor

or something but he’s been to ND, MSU, Purdue, IU etc all multiple times including junior-year officials. Kid can do whatever he wants but “cutting” your list to 10 is only done for optics but whatever. As I said previously, Gonzaga does make sense.


July’s over

With the final eval period now over, it’s interesting that Duke, UK, KU, Carolina etc never watched him. Despite him saying Duke/UK were dream-like schools. Guessing many of them view him as more top 50 type vs top 10. Don’t think there’s any question or coincidence he was waiting to see who watched him this period before cutting his list down tomorrow. IU basically half-assed watched him over the weekend as I don’t think they even suspect they have a chance nor do they seem remotely concerned about it. OSU didn’t go crazy either. Very weird recruitment. Obviously, he has a OSU senior-year OV already scheduled beginning of Sept. Wonder if that ultimately changes.

Just taking a total stab in the dark on his “list”: MSU, Purdue, ND, OSU, Gonzaga. Maybe Oregon/Auburn and IU. Just a guess who knows. I could see Gonzaga showing him what they did with Holmgren and that really enticing him as a finesse 6’11” guy who plays the perimeter and shoots a lot three-point shooters.


Heard IU is backing off now...

must have MSU/Purdue strong here. But watch out for Kansas/Auburn and NLI deals.


If Auburn is involved, expect anything.

Bruce Pearl - bastion of integrity. He and Jimbo Fisher are about as bad as it gets.


Isn't Pearl dirty, but a nice guy? A la Bobby Bowden?

Jimbo, on the other hand, is both slimy and a huge dick.


Hey now

Oops, you said Fisher.

Sorry.
