I'm sure Ayo has a place in his mind, think a couple of commits might speed him up, but I doubt it. Think he has been told he is Superman, and waiting for all offers at his feet. Wouldn't be surprised if he waits till Spring.:(

I don't see any way that Ayo waits until spring. Plus, I don't think he's waiting to see who commits to Illinois. More likely he's waiting to see who commits to Kansas.

I said doubt anyone would speed him up, and why Kansas? He has no reason to commit till after his senior year is over. Think he wants all offers he can get, all good. Xavier been on him hot and heavy, and way Kansas looking now boat load of guards and few bigs, all speculation but way I see it.:illinois:

Highly doubt he waits till spring.

From what I have been hearing, the offer list he has right now is about as good as they think they can get it.

Only missing one or two schools he would be highly interested in, but from what I have heard they will not have PT.

Very possible Ayo could cut his list before high school season.

Illinois, Xavier, Kansas will be on it, not for sure about others, but those are top 3 for him right now.

In an isolated situation, who do you think is more likely: Ayo or THT?

Ayo, THT not said much since MSU offer. Ayo is more likely , but not sure about either , from info I have gathered.
Like Garland to commit, that would be nice to see where he goes, make others decide.

Yeah I tend to agree, Almost think commits that effect big guys might have more push if he is truly wanting to take Person along with him, I am wondering how much they would help with Whitney

I am back to thinking THT might be before Ayo no real reason just guessing

In 6 games against EYBL teams, Zion Griffin averaged 30.3 ppg and 10.7 rpg. Impressive.

All summer long I'd been wanting to get a look at big man George Conditt of Team RWA out of the Chicago area. It took until his very last game on the very last day of the summer for our schedules to match up, but I was able to see him -- Corey Evans also saw him earlier in the day -- and I have to say I'm pretty intrigued.
I still need more time to study his game, but Conditt impressed with the way he moves around the floor. He looks to have a good skill level and I can't help but think he has the tools to be a high major contributor once he adds weight to what is currently a slightly built frame.
Illinois has offered and I saw head coach Brad Underwood watching. Arizona State, Colorado, New Mexico (head coach Paul Weir watched), VCU, Iowa State, Washington, Saint Louis and Houston are just a few of the many others who have jumped into the mix.
What stood out to me about Conditt the most, though, how much he cared about the game. A loss in the final game of the summer and in a championship game really stung the young big man. In a landscape where kids get over losses quickly because there's always another game to play, it's nice to see how much the game still matters to a kid like Conditt.

Ayo much more likely. THT will commit before him but it will be to a different school from what I am hearing.

However THT and Ayo are texting again, after the dust settled from his MIF exit.

I still think THT winds up at MSU or NW and Ayo winds up w/ the O&B.

Would LOVE a class of Ayo, Griffin, Conditt and Pearson if he is included to get Ayo deal done...those 4 would address ALOT for us moving forward in 2-3 years.

I predict it will be down to Illinois and Xavier and Illinois wins.

The national experts appear to think it's a toss-up between us and Xavier at this point.
