not sure on our chances with him, but says a lot when the kid paid his own way to come here for this weekend.

Him and Ford would step on campus and be Day 1 starters.

Soooo...

Soooo...

The columns are cold!

Not sounding great on commits. The visits went great is nice. But doesn't mean a lot. I guess give it a while and hope.

I guess it depends on who you read unless someone has first hand knowledge on specific players. One site has maintained for the last few days to expect a couple commits shortly and another 3 may happen directly from bbq just unspecified as to the timetable.
For what it is worth.

I am not currently paying for either site. Just going by the comments of the two bigger name recruits on twitter.

Hope they are right.

I was certainly hoping to have heard something this weekend. No choice but to wait.....

Don't we often hear AFTER recruits get home and talk about it with family? At elas that seems to be the s-o-p for official visits; enjoy the visit, want to commit but wait until discussing with family to be sure...

 

[Takeittothehoop]

Patience! I'm hoping for solid commits. The recruits and the families really need to think things through before making a college commitment. It really bothers me to see so many transfers and kid's not honoring their commitments.

Not True

 

[warchant]

I don't expect a commitment from Luke Ford until 2018. My understanding is he wants to see the offense before commiting anywhere.

Welcome, Khalan.

Is that who you spoke of CARPET? Is there more? Will the columns soon be on fire?

Jeremy says more good news is on the way. Could be Atwell, Martin, Knowles, etc.

Martin's a nice pick up, although not as surprising as Tolson. Martin spent three days here last week. His highlights are fun to watch. There is even a slam dunk in there:
