Whelp, if Ayo shows up for Nolley's OV, that would be good (file under penetrating observations). If THT also shows up, I'm going to have to start building an Underwood statue in my backyard. If Nolley commits, it's all sunshine and rainbows.

College and BU system is a guards game, but I still want two bigs (Castleton and Conditt).

My 2 cents, Sept is going to be a long month. Visits should get things rolling, though.

Supposedly, Ubben is open to the public at 8:00 am on Saturday to view a workout. Nolley and Castleton will be present but I doubt they can workout.

Post from last thread

Guys have to be careful with their words at certain points. It can be a tricky sell telling Ayo etc. on "being great, be in your state" while simultaneously telling Castleton to choose us over Florida. You have to make sure that same pitch isn't being rung in Castletons ear. If Florida picks up the heat, I'm sure it will be by them.

I disagree with this. Selling the top Illinois kids to stay home and be great is the fastest way to turn this program around. Get multiple top Illinois players for consecutive years (Smith, Ayo, THT, Okoro, Lidell) and this program has turned around in a hurry. If you happen to get a player like Castleton from out of state then great, but if he chooses to stay home Conditt will work just fine.

I see Nolley's height listed anywhere from 6'4" to 6'7". He must have had a growing spurt this past year.

FWIW, I just left Original House of Pancakes... no sight of recruits, but did see SERG!

*Bacon pancakes, for those that were wondering.
