Your turn Orlando. Big like Greg but taller and more skilled.

Just out of curiosity, where is the Final 4 in 2019?:D

Actually, I'll wait until we get THT and BPJ before I book my tickets.

Just think how the tune would be completely different if Ayo committed weeks ago and then we lost out on all the other recruits. Anything else in the class I think is gravy.

Liddell and Okoro your tables are set pretty beautifully.

BU can completely sell them both of coming in and starting from day 1 with Finke and Black graduating.

Think the I`m not going to play with Ayo thing was a bunch of hoey, THT said it might happen that he and Ayo might not play on team after high school. That was all that was said, then everyone blew it up, plus extra twitter from other sources.;)

Let`s hear some good words ....AYO AYO :illinois::chief:

It was a real thing, no absolutes were ever spoken though.
Coach Chin has been working hard to get him back to this point

Getting THT is bigger than Ayo IMO....mini Draymond Green.

Yup. While it would be nice to add a PF/C (BPJ?) and THT to this class, I'm happy with just Ayo and turning our attention to the '19 class. We have a fantastic situation for Okoro and Liddell. And don't forget Whitney.

Talen and Shirley both silent about Ayo commitment. Not liking that.

I want you all to think about something. Brad Underwood has probably just landed a MCDAA and back to back Mr Basketball players before coaching his first game here.

For realz?

All I see from the OG board is "will be happy when Underwood is arrested"... uh, if underwood is arrested then get ready for about 55 other coaches to be arrested

I'm sorry to cause you "paign". I'm not on the Ayo selection thread, and I really like Ayo...but I think position and depth-wise we need a guy like THT very much. Psychologically for the fan base (5 star) and talentwise I think Ayo is a great pickup. Ill be watching as close or closer the THT decision.

I disagree. THT is an excellent player but Ayo is more important. I'd be satisfied if we don't add anyone else to the '18 class.

AYO was huge and very necessary for both the class and the region. Any guy that will be here starting for 4yrs though is arguably more valuable overall. Let's love this awesome moment for the day and switch gears for the weekend!

They are certain BU will get arrested in all of this while conveniently forgetting to acknowledge where their head coach was at just a few years ago
