IMO Bridges is gone, but we have all been surprised at lottery picks returning to school. To me Bridges is a lottery pick and after the combine measurables if Miles participates in these (without hiring an agent), then I don't think many teams will pass on what this kid can become.

Sources: Michigan State's Miles Bridges cancelled agent meetings, leaning heavily toward returning for sophomore year. Lottery pick talent.

To me, cancelling agent meeting means he's staying. Lottery pick this year, possibly top 5 or better next year.

It's this Saturday in Louisville. He was a late edition to the roster. After or before the game, his family will make the short drive over to Lexington.

The weekend after that "I've heard" he is planning an official visit to Ohio State.

According to an article in the Post today, he isn't going to Lexington because Mom wants to get home for Easter. The story also indicated that both Mark and his dad seem to be smitten with Calipari, though.

Michael Porter Sr. here at Jordan Brand Classic, supporting Porter Jr. and rocking Missouri gear. Good optics to potentially woo Kevin Knox.

The guy in the front of that picture is the perfect Mizzou fan. The hair, the turtleneck, it's amazing.

Nah. To be a TRULY perfect Mizzou fan he would need to be joined by his wife with large, bleach blonde hair with the roots showing, too much make up, and bedazzled jeans.

Never thought I'd be rooting for KU in a recruitment, but here we are.

I'll pull for them as my number 2. I am still holding out hope for that 0.000001% chance that Tilmon decides in the end that he wants to be an Illini after all. Ever the optimist, this one.

I tried reading Tigerboard but between the design and the first thing I see is Cuonzo didn't go after Jemarl Baker because he feels good about Knox, I had to stop.

Rooting for Snacks to seal the deal with Tilmon feels weird, but it would be hilarious. Do we even bother re-recruiting him, or just let him do his thing?

Let him do this thing and focus on Kiir, a transfer, or hope for some bunny that the staff is going to pull out of their hat.

You can tell when a message board is unfamiliar with the game. When they're trashing a school with an s in its name and don't use a dollar sign.

You keep recruiting him reminding him that Coach Walker has been with you all the way and continues to be.

We have put too much time in to do otherwise, especially in a situation this uh... Fluid
