4 for 4 for Izzo and Bowen. He's not taking any chances on that kid.
Bad news: Sounds like Travis Trice's mother has adopted MS. Noticed her last night and again this morning.

When you send 2 kids to EL, you can adopt The Green.
Not Bowen's best game for sure.
Jeff Borzello @jeffborzello 52s52 seconds ago Mohamed Bamba is such an impact player on D. Shot-changer at the rim & he's been chasing Brian Bowen around screens all game too. #nikeeyb
Bowen started strong, but the wheels came off for MS in the second half. Bamba is incredibly long and disruptive underneath. Watching DeAndre Ayton, Marvin Bagley III, and Mohamed Bamba back-to-back-to-back really brings home what it means to have a dominant big man. Those guys can all change the game at will. Hopefully Tilmon commits and brings that element to the beloved.
The southern tip of Florida is far away from everywhere. You don't pass through there on your way to anywhere else.
Why are you bringing up Peoria County? I know it's small, I used to live there.
What are we even talking about anymore? Why would you even say that you'll "take [your] chances with 5 Top 50-100 guys versus 5 Top 125-200 guys any day."...literally EVERYONE would agree. But those rankings don't mean anything until scouts and coaches have seen and evaluated players, and they really don't mean much until junior/senior year anyway. But that's beside the point, I'm just saying it's not hard to fly under the radar if you're not getting seen by coaches--and coaches don't really see players very much until summer ball, unless those players are local, or playing in highly visible high school leagues.
I'm done arguing about this. I feel like I've gotten way off track...all I set out to do is say that Trent Frazier's offer list should be of no concern to us until after this month.

Justin Smith is the key here.
Justin Smith is the key here.
Do we have a chance? I got the impression we were sorta out of the picture with Smith...no?
Wasn't looking good for awhile. Now it's looking better.
Has it been announced that Tilmon is going to go back to Belleville Althoff for his senior year?
