Visits almost always go well. Pretty rare that a kid just hates a visit, so word getting out that his IU visit went well should not be surprising or particularly worrying to anyone. I agree that IU probably has an advantage, but as others said the longer it goes the better that is for us.

Gary Trent Jr moves his MSU visit from the week after his Duke visit to the week before his Duke visit. Probably not good news for Izzo (for a change.)

Thanks for the link.
He has been to HH multiple times, not sure I would put much stake into if he does or doesn't go to HH, maybe a bit if he doesn't show up, but a kid from Indy showing up for HH should be the expectation. Just glad to still be in the conversation, the way I look at it is we are playing with house money on this one.
I don't think anyone would disagree with IU being the team to beat. The real question is how much the other schools have closed the gap. If Wilkes doesn't commit this week, then I bet the gap between IU and Illinois has narrowed quite a bit, to the point that they're not in the driver's seat.

Absolutely no way that Xavier turns down Wilkes if he wants to join.
Little video of 2019 big Francis Okoro. Hopefully I'm smart enough to get the link right!! He's gonna be a good one.

That's the assessment I've heard as well
For real. I refuse to believe he's that young!
Very impressive! Not sure who taught him the move to the paint but he needs to unlearn that one.
Looks like traveling to me too. But no denying this guy is far far advanced beyond his years.
Looks like it but it's not. I have a point guard who is extremely good at manipulating his dribbles and footwork. I think it's just a timing thing that really good players have that gives them an extra edge.

Walker quoted someone who tweeted at him about committing early and his response was "you never know 
". I think he commits on his unofficial. That would be huge to have him locked up already.

That seems to be the rumor going around.
Even if he does, there is still a LOOOONG time before he gets to campus. Anything can happen.

I realize he hasn't committed yet, and it's a huge long shot, but this was just an observation that popped into my head.
When was the last time that the top 2 players in Chicago (Walker and Jacobs, in this case) were both committed this early in the process?

Doubt it.
It's Wednesday, is this the day that Wilkes commits or does he just cancel his remaining 2 OV's??
My money is on neither
