LOL. All of a sudden Michigan State is likely pursuing Tremont Waters.

Do we now have the BEST coach in the BIG?
No but we upgraded big time.
Ryan Evan pretty much saying that if it is up to Mark Smith that he is ours.....if up to Dad maybe not...

Also said last night he wasn't going to OSU either
That guy has terrible grammar and proof reading skills.
So did OSU counterparts. I agree that his dad wants as much exposure, both to and from, as possible.
ever think because that is what Mark Smith or an Illini coach told him after the visit? According to what I am hearing the kid loves us and wanted to cancel OSU visit but Dad said no, so this isn't hard for me to believe at all.
We will see. We need this kid. Might be our most important recruit in 10 years, IMO..
His father is a basketball coach, so he probably enjoys these visits (with the exception of Illinois
)LOL I can't even read/understand half the tweets I read. It is like another damn language to me. Others will be like did you see what that guy just said in his Tweet and I am like yeah he said he wanted a sandwich. Then I am told no, no he was saying the he loves the Illini and is going to sign next Tuesday. LOL I am old.
As a parent.....
that has 3 kids playing college sports. I thought it was my job to get my kids as much information and as many opportunities as I could. Took them each to multiple visits....pointed out the good/bad (at least from my perspective) of each school. But, at the end of the day, it needed to be their decision. They were going to spend the 4 years at the school. If they didn't play...or played....I didn't want them to ever be able to come back to me that I forced them into a school they didn't like. Of the 3, probably 1 went to the school I would have chosen. Hopefully, Mark's parents are doing their due diligence....pointing out the pluses and minuses of each situation. Also, hopefully, after their process is complete, they let their son make his own decision.

agreed
"Proofreading" is one word...
Touche. Lol
Just sit right back
and I'll tell you a tale
a tale of of a fateful ship...
That started in Edwardsville,
ending with Blue Blood trips..
Smith was a mighty baller,
with handles and a shot so sure.
nearly 20 offers came by day,
campus visits and more tours,
campus visits and more tours...
The Blue Blood started coming on...
but this Recruit was not to be lost
If not for a cute cheerleader,
Frazier may not have been here like most,
Frazier may not have been here like most,
The kids been on the visits,
He came around after awhile...
With Antigua,
the new coach too,
Four star guards, and some wings
Tilmon not for sure..
JCL and Lucas
And a Kipper too
Here on Smith's
Recruiting Isle...
So this is a tale of our beloved ILLINI
Were here for them all the time...
BU will make the best of things..
It will be an uphill climb,
Williams, Black and Kipper too
Will do their very best...
To split their minutes across the board...
So we can outrun all the rest...
No Tilmon, No Pickett, not Groce no more
Not a single 5 star recruit...
Like a Gatling Gun ablaze...
All we'll do is SHOOT!!
So join us here after each game my friends,
I am sure we will chat and smile...
and wonder what the last 10 years would have been,
If our coach could have recruited, taught, or won even once in awhile!!!
Enjoy the weekend!!!!
