Ouch.. Auburn counts as a high major offer but we don't.
The author just cited a couple of offers. Who cares? Only thing that matters is Lewis' and his inner circle's opinions.
Lewis is tearing it up thus far.

I personally do not like AAU Basketball, but I will admit I don't even know how one would go about getting on a team like Mac Irvin Fire. My problem is I don't like shopping kids to specific universities and the wear and tear of the schedule. What happens to kids not chosen, what avenue do they have? Is the AAU just for the Elite kids?
Well some shenanigans are cheeky and fun. While other shenanigans are cruel and tragic. Which wouldn't make them shenanigans, at all, really. Evil shenanigans.
And what you wish could be the case, just as a fan of the sport of basketball, is for there to be a traveling circuit for the best high-school aged kids to play against one another with elite coaching in a skill development-focused environment. That is the way to make the best basketball players, not the playground hype video stuff that top level "showcase" AAU ball tends to be. But these AAU coaches did not create the perverse incentive structure present in the US basketball developmental pipeline. They are just doing their best for their players within that structure, which is what is most important.
The NBA and NCAA could work collaboratively with the shoe companies and major agencies to make an AAU infrastructure that developed better basketball players if they really wanted to. But there's no real incentive to do that when America already produces the best players in the world. In soccer, by contrast, those kinds of development pipelines are very carefully managed, because the arms race for a country's overall talent is so important for so many stakeholders.

Anyone else hear of Self visiting Tilmon tonight?
A lot of Crystal Ball activity lately. Including recent picks for Trent Frazier, Terrence Lewis, and Jordan Goodwin to Illinois!

Phog.net has a 'self will be busy' thread that suggests Bill Self will be visiting Tilmon tonight.

One school is at the top of 2017 Wellington (FL) CG Trent Frazier's list: http://www.hoopseen.com/node/2029
After an in-home visit last week, Illinois is at the top of 2017 Wellington (FL) combo guard Trent Frazier's list.
"The visit went a lot better than I expected it to. In fact, it put Illinois right at the top of my list," Frazier told HoopSeen.com.
Jericho Sims 2017 F with an Illinois offer. I don't know a single thing about him. Just noticed it on Twitter.
