Truth be told, the most prominent reason I want for us to land Wilkes is so I can watch the Loosiers soil themselves over it.
And then beat them by 20 with Wilkes on the team when he arrives. =)
I really wanted Kiir but this Wooten IMO would be a great consolation prize. I did not see one shot outside of 3 feet but If this kid was 6'10 i'm sure he would be a 5 star or at the very least a high 4.I thought we had a decent shot at Kiir, but alas, looks like 0 for 3 is a foregone conclusion now.
We need another big from somewhere. This Wooten looks like a good player.
From scrolling through the Indiana forums, it appears that the consensus is that it's down to Indiana and UCLA with UCLA leading. Seems like we are out on this one.
Wilkes could be choosing between Illinois and Illinois and lossier message boards would say the same thing
no shocker. oregon
Yeah, (Wooten is like) Lowell except he can jump!
Lowell could jump very very well was said he could take a quarter off the top of the bankboard
This could just as well help UCLA with Wilkes. With two 4s in the class, he doesn't have to worry about the possibility of the coach playing him there.
A Wooten visit in winter to Champaign vs those west coast schools? Think I know how that will turn out.
If I am reading correctly, VC shows UCLA now with 0 spots left.
Lowell and his Providence St. Mel team had a ton of talent. Probably would of won the Class AA championship but they played in Class A. Lowell peaked early, always had the quick hops but didn't really develop much at Illinois.
Now weather is news to me. I don't recall a recruit saying they weren't going to go there because it's cold part of the year.
As much as it's stupid, it can have an effect.
It's possible I chose Illinois over Minnesota because of the horrendous weather up there when I visited. Probably would have gone to UI anyway, but the misery of trudging through slushy snow really sealed it.
Doesn't matter. For a player of Wilkes' caliber, every coach will oversign if they are fortunate enough to be in that position.
When I visited Bradley it was just a gloomy day and the campus was seemed dead. The advisor we were talking to also responded to our question of what do students do when not in class with "they mostly study." I ran as fast as possible from there, I highly doubt it was as boring as it seemed but that was the impression I received.

Exactly the same situation for me when I visited Purdue for my recruiting trip. Except I was getting recruited for my brain, not my middling athleticism. And I wasn't even really getting recruited. FINE. It was just a regular college visit. But either way, that place was so depressing.
Same for me. I went on a rainy day and thought it was just a dreadful campus.
