I don't believe I ever said it would affect his recruiting ability or job performance.

Looks like from Ayo's tweet that the staff used the Mr.Basketball stays at home pitch. Another reason why Mark Smith>Tilmon in regards to building a culture.

For those curious about what a general unofficial visit consists of, Ryan Evan on Twitter was able to obtain a rough itinerary.

That is quite a bit different than my own tour of the campus as a high schooler.

The tweet is more in line with what Frazier wrote in the past. We have had other top visitors come and visit and say great things, but there is that but... This felt more genuine and heart-felt.


Like I said before it really comes down to his NBA chances and who can get him drafted high and early. This is where the player, parents, and AAU coaches have to take an honest assessment at where the player is and what situation is best fit for him. I see Ayo as having physical skills that project him further than his bb skills right now. If goes from 6-3 to 6-5 and develops better PG skills than obviously he is a better prospect.

BU's creased shorts aren't going to win him any points in the cool department.

Just wait. Ayo will be wearing his like that soon, and then all the kids will start wearing them like that.

I'm thinking BU will be a fashion trendsetter...

We all hope that Ayo, Finke, THT, and Big George round out the '18 class.

A lineup of Frazier, Ayo, Smith, Kipper, Black
And a bench of THT, Lucas, Finke, Finke, Big George

That could win some games

Love that team. They would be dangerous in the dance, and the reload would officially be complete. Not that this should be debated in full yet, but I think you would be replacing Frazier in the starting lineup with anyone other than Big George or the young Finke. We don't need Frazier's skill set in that lineup as much as a THT or older Finke. Also, until proven otherwise, Lucas should get the nod at that spot anyway.

Ayo, Smith, THT, Kipper, Black or Ayo, Smith, Kipper, Black, Finke

Has THT indicated a timeline for committing?

He is visiting a bunch of schools in the next week, so I doubt it will be soon. Let's hope this visit knocks his socks off. I believe it is his first time in the Paign.
