Sounds like he is giving us the last visit to plead our case.

Mark smith in home schedule as follows. MSU tomorrow/duke Wednesday. OSU/Kentucky would follow. With #illini rounding out this weeknd visits
We should never have offered when we did...because we are not supposed to offer unless the player has offers from other P5s, correct? Kidding of course and subtle nudge to those on the board that believe we shouldn't offer unless other credible P5s have first offered.
Regardless of the "race to the party" on MS recruiting by likes of Ky, Dk, MSU, etc. , J. Walker deserves kudos since I believe he was the first P5 recruiter that realized MS potential.
About to change the whole program around, Hop on now

Did D Rose pay us a visit, late in his game?
Clearly the answer here is to offer Bruninga immediately.
While I'd be surprised if that ever happened, it certainly won't until they are at least juniors.
Something tells me OA makes this recruiting game one in which we finally are dressing for the Varsity squad. OA having the direct knowledge of UK and the Blue Blood's recruiting process benefits us now that he is talking with Smith on our behalf. I just have a good feeling about it. It's just a feeling.
It could just be the RedBull.
This is the equivalent of hiring a top-fuel dragster driver, giving him the keys to a Ford Mustang, and expecting him to beat a top-fuel dragster because he's "done it before". He may be able to refute some of their recruiting pitch, but it's still a comparison between Illinois and Kentucky basketball.
Hardy is by far the player I hope we sign the least. There's a reason Mich and Mich St did not offer.

I'm assuming the Duke interest depends on if they have some kids declare for the draft?
Has Grayson Allen made a decision yet?
On the flipside, there was a reason Hardy committed to BU and OK St a few months ago, evidently fitting the future of the program there.
Grayson was planning to announce his decision, but was tripping out and to cancel.
Flip it once more and wonder if he ever would have made it on the roster since Boynton told him that BU recruited too many players.
these stats just do not scream to me PG

Really, Who was so much better last year? We would have finished DEAD last if not for Hill, and he can't even sniff the NBA as the 3rd highest scoring player in history?
I would bet a high % of ANY other schools 3rd all time highest scorers made it to the Bigs? After that we had Morgan a fringe B1G player that developed, thank god, and Black who is a rebounding machine and getting better and a freshman with guts running the team....all else....not so much!
