The other upside of Lewis, besides just his skill, is that with him and Lucas it would start to give us a bit more of a presence up in Milwaukee. Could only help with future kids from the area.

Right. That's all I was saying from the beginning. I don't blame him - the program isn't exactly where any of us want it to be right now. Obviously though, if Smith has the chance to play with top talent, it becomes more of a draw again.
No reason to get down on the kid.

read the morning game timeline at UI Hoops Recruits. Sounds like Smith is going to move up if he keeps playing like this through the spring and summer.

Goodwin was the player of the year in the metro east again this year. His quote at the end of the article was interesting:
---------------------------------------------
After next season, Goodwin will decide where, and perhaps what, he wants to play. He has basketball offers from Illinois, Missouri, Purdue, Kansas State, Wisconsin, St. Louis U. and others, and has a football offer from Iowa.
“I’ll wait it out. I’ll make (my decision) about a year from now,” Goodwin said. “I really don’t give it any thought. There’s a lot of options. I can see myself playing a lot of places.”"

I knew he was going to wait until after the AAU season to see what offers he would pick up, but it would surprise me if he waited through his senior season. I think the offers will start pouring in and he will have a tough decision to make. I'm still pulling for the Illini, but the longer he waits, the more it hurts our chances in my opinion.

Blurb from Rivals article on Lewis. Should clear up his offer list. Would be a huge get despite his position, IMO.
Right on the border of three and four-star status, 6-foot-5 wing Terrence Lewis of Milwaukee (Wisc.) Riverside certainly passes the look test. Saturday, the Playground Elite standout's game passed the test as well. He attacked the rim and stroked some jumpers while also playing well defensively. Lewis listed offers from Xavier, Miami, Iowa State, Illinois, Purdue, Minnesota, Marquette and Wisconsin.

Well crap. It was too good to be true to think something positive was going to happen for this program anytime soon. I turning it over to baseball for awhile. Go Cards.

- how was I to know, she was with the Russians too?
Yeah, the Williams commitment is yesterday's news. And let's ignore lots and lots of smoke about an impending Tilmon commitment. Looking forward to the Cards being the Cubs' caddy. And I'm not even a Cubs fan.
He has heard from Kansas and Notre Dame recently, so I think he knows, or at least hopes, the bigger offers will be coming. I never really thought he would commit anywhere before after the AAU season anyways.

Lewis and Justin Smith continuing to tear it up in AAU.

For a guy I was only vaguely aware of a week ago, I'd sure like to see Lewis sign up with us. In two games yesterday, and on the same team as Poole he scored 17 and 20 points.
Jon McNamara @McNamaraRivals Mequon, WI 2017 G/F Terrence Lewis also having himself a very good weekend. Great frame, great shot and mechanics & plays under control.
and 25 today. Glad he was impressed with his visit.

Interesting names brought up. Anyone know anything about Markell Johnson?

Kentucky may be sniffing around too. He's a 4 year player they like to get every few years

All I "know" is we haven't offered. What I suspect from his last comments about having it narrowed down but opening it back up is he was leaning to Louisville or Ohio State, 2 teams where stuff has happened or might happen.

I wonder if we'll ever get a commit via this kind of announcement?

I did a bad job of showing my sarcasm. I'm checking this site constantly to hear news about tilmon, Lewis, Goodwin and others. Yes I'm a Cards fan and as great as the Cubs are...we'll probably be able to compete. Back to the point I'm excited about the class of 17 and hoping to hear something soon. Very excited about Williams and Pickett as we'll.
Yeah, quite a production for a four star recruit. It was bad enough when Lebron did it. Kind of lame, IMO.
That was perhaps the cheesiest thing I've ever watched. I threw up a little in my mouth.
Beats the hat trickster.

OK. You and me both, brother. If Groce brings this class home, we'll be back to where we want to be in relatively short order.
I believe Hart is a couple inches taller than Goodwin, and Hart shoots it better. Goodwin might be better in the post and getting to the rim. Rebounding is probably similar.
