He's waiting on Kentucky and Duke.

I’m a fan of Kipper. More so of his potential. Was just busting his chops for whiffing that wide-open dunk in the next MSU game...

I disagree. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXbLEjoVKZ4
He looks just as good as Kane and Ebo when it comes to handles and ups. Probably better handles and mid-range shooting ability than both.
Go watch footage of Ebo at DeJesuit and you will see he has some ball skills and the makings of a decent looking shot. I think as the game slows down for him and he gains confidence we will see it more. Towards the end of the season he was starting to display some decent post footwork and even put the ball on the floor a few times to get around his defender. More than anything I want to see him actually pass the ball rather than wait for someone to run past him to hand it off to.

Bez looks like a good fit for what we want to do in the post. Looks like he has the skills to shoot from the elbow and/or put it on the floor and attack the rim from the high post. I love Spicy G but he does not have the skills to shoot the mid-range or put it on the deck from 10ft in. Finke can definitely pass and hit the mid range, but he is not taking an opposing big off the dribble or doing anything in the post. 2:23 is what Im sayin.

woe! 3p marksman and 16 boards. I think we may have a diamond with AG.By the way— Griffin is putting up some very impressive rebounding numbers for a guard

I don't know why Mack would leave Xavier for Louisville - Louisville could be in trouble with the FBI stuff - and even though it's not his fault per se - i'd imagine the penalties will follow the program and NOT the coach.
As described by one site, 'Never judge a book by its’ cover. In Hinson’s case, do not look at his height and frame then assume you know what his game is all about. The 6-7 prospect can bang along the frontline if you need him to, but his go-to is his long-range shooting ability. He hit threes from well beyond 25-feet in a win versus the Houston Defenders on Sunday morning. Add in his ball handling and agility and Hinson’s upside is through the roof at the next level.'

Giogi is about the same size as Mav Morgan out of hs. But he appears more mobile and more skilled. Very solid get, need to have several dependable bigs.
This is what I agree with. He absolutely has the skills to do those things. I just worry about his ability to actually get by a defender (imagine him being guarded by a long, athletic front like like MSU, PSU, or Minny before the suspensions) and if he does, finishing past a shot blocker type. However, I do feel he could pass out of a tough situation. I liked his pinch post reads in the video snippets.
He’s more athletic and skilled than Mav was as a freshman. He doesn’t need to get by people his freshman year. If he can make the right passes on offense, hit the open shots, and make the right read to either roll to the basket or flare out for a jump shot and he will be fine. Couple that with being sufficient on the defensive and rebounding end, he could provide a solid 10-15 minutes per game as a frosh.
Mav really turned it up towards the end of his junior year and became a Big Ten caliber player, on offense at least. I could see Giorgi having that break through towards the end of his sophomore season and having a much higher ceiling.

Something to consider is that there are dead periods from March 29th-April 5th and then April 9-12th. This means that Tevian would need to start a traditional official visit on Monday or squeeze one in on the 6-8th since he is announcing the 11th.

I really, really don't want Mark Smith going to Mizzou. I still think he has a chance to become a really good SG, and if that were to occur under Cuonzo's watch, he'll use that to no end for recruiting in the Metro East area.
Plus, it makes it all the more likely that Liddell goes to Mizzou.
I always thought that a Metro East talent surge would be a great thing for Illinois. Now, it's to the point where I'd rather Metro East NOT produce a lot of talent, because they'd probably go to Mizzou anyway. Good thing Cuonzo will never get the most out of that talent.
agree.... definitely don't want Smith going to Mizzou. it's a lose/lose for us.
Personally, i think if he wants a fresh start best to play somewhere without all the local baggage/expectations.
