[FONT="]Interesting that I go on other team's boards that are recruiting THT, I go on other Illinois boards, I talk to a couple guys I know who know people involved in basketball in Chicago and the only place I hear that THT wants to be 'the man' wherever he goes is on here. Anybody got any sources for that beyond 'word on the street'? I have no idea where he's going to end up but I'm pretty sure wherever he goes it won't be because he's asking to be the 'the man'.

[FONT="]At this point he says:[/FONT]
[FONT="]
THT5 @_Tal0w [/FONT]
[FONT="]IM WIDE OPEN[/FONT]
[FONT="]And while I don't expect that to mean we're going to get him, although I certainly would like to, that's about all he's said about his recruitment.
[/FONT][FONT="]And as for any animosity between him and Ayo and/or the Fire, all I've heard him say is He's got no problem with Ayo or the Fire. Which is him being a lot bigger than Mike Irvin has been. I mean, can anybody guess who else the tweet below could be about? It just popped up on the MIF twitter tonight and even after being asked, they haven't said who it refers to but after six weeks of non-subtle digs at Talen for leaving the Fire, I'm pretty sure I can guess who they're talking about. And by 'they', I mean Mike. Nick has to play Simeon this year so I don't think he's going to throw too much shade at a kid who can go off for 30 or more if you get him riled.

If he was 3 inches taller he will have a position. I'm not sure what's his position at the college level because he's not a good defender.
