My question is what does one talk about every single day? Seems like you would run out of things to say. "Hi, how ya doin'? Finish your homework? Ready to commit yet? OK. Talk to you tomorrow."

I don't even call my girlfriend every day

Keep her, she sounds like relatively low maintenance.

Look at offers, not rankings. College coaches are far better evaluators than anyone at the scouting services.

Case in point: Looking at 247

#151 Committed recently to Sparty over offers from DePaul, Detroit, Oakland, and Rice

#150 Has offers from everyone outside of the Bluebloods (us included)

#149 Only has 1 offer (Hartford)

#148 decent offer list (UConn, Purdue, Miami, Clemson, GaTech, Memphis, USF, FGCU, Rutgers, Tenn)

#147 has about 20 offers including NC State, Ark, Fl, GaTech, Mizzou, South Carolina, VaTech

Looking up five spots, #142 only has offers from Ball State, Cleveland State, Samford, and SEMO

Some of that is probably due to academic issues, but obviously the offer lists don't always seem to coincide with the rankings

I like our chances with Nolley...he doesn't seem to have a true connection on the surface to any of his five remaining schools. Wow him on his first visit this weekend, and I think we'll be sitting in the driver's seat.

With the Henry visit to MSU and knocking us of list, Nolley has no reason to commit right away. THT might be more focused on somewhere else if Henry makes Sparty his new home. I see commitment coming B4 October, IMO.;)

Per Ryan Evan on Twitter, Illinois is working to schedule an official with Emmanuel Dowuona. Top 150 big out of Miami.

For the record, Dowuona is #148 on the referenced list :thumb:

so looking at Scout that would be

#27 Ayo
#96 Nolley
#108 THT
#209 Conditt

The theory being they are a good fit for BU's system and are underrated by Scout?

Looking at Scout's main rival, they would be 21, 69, 102, and not in the top 150.

Not sure what purpose of this visit, we have higher level at big on radar. Could it be to make movement? Guy is big body for the inside.;)

Cue the "this mean they must not feel confident about our other targets" posts

Has visited West Lafayette and has an offer from Painter. BANGER:p

Offering every Purdue big target would be a pretty good recruiting strategy (sort of like Jerrance's strategy for Illinois - just offer when we offer).

Or could it be because Brad Underwood didn't read the rankings :noidea:
