I can see the sports headline from Chicago newspapers "Iowa State eats Illinois lunch"
At the moment, Sow and Conditt are the only OVs we've got scheduled. Hopefully, Ayo and THT schedule visits, but perhaps they won't since they've visited before. That would not be good. The window, though, is closing. We may end up with only 6 OVs, which means we'd need to close out on 50 percent of the visits to fill our open scholarships, a percentage which is tough to achieve. Schools are limited to 12 OVs and Kansas must be getting close to that number if you include scheduled future visits. If Ayo and THT plan to visit there, they'll have to schedule soon. Once we get in-home visits scheduled, we'll have a better idea of where we stand, but at the moment, the future of this class is hazy.
I'm pretty sure that LeJohn Brames has silent verballed. This after his right-hand-man Julius Irving demanded a trade and ended up going to Boston University.

He has had a bracket style thing going for a while now. I would bet he has it down more but for the sake of the promotion he has going it will go 8 then 4 (the OV recipients) and then 2 before making it official.
Yeah, I saw that. The seeding is a little messed up. :thumb:

Normally nervous, but not now. I trust the staff, until they prove otherwise.

This is good news. Conditt seems to know what he wants and is moving forward in a decisive way. I'm happy to read that THT isn't succumbing to pressure and doesn't feel rushed. I think that works to our advantage, but I hope when he's ready to act, he's as decisive as Conditt.
He went from 11 to 3 in less than 2 weeks. That's decisive.
KU has 6 OVs scheduled for Late Night in the Phog, including Zion Griffin. They've already had 3 OVs that I'm aware off and 1 more scheduled in Oct. That only leaves 2. They've had multiple players take UVs. I'm not sure what that says about Ayo and THT and their interest in KU.

Great! Really, really want Nolley in our class.
Nolley is exactly the kind of shooter we need. With his length he can also be a factor on D. Would be a great start to the class.
As for Conditt, the fact that he didn't verbal on his visit to Iowa State is promising. He has visited that campus several times, so he has a strong interest in them. Not too worried about New Mexico.

Good because we really need to land one of our wing targets. Lots of offers out to wings that aren't going to come here.. Henry isn't coming. THT who knows. Griffin.. Well.. We know that ship has sailed.
Might end up being Ayo/Landers/Conditt.

Cash -- ever been to the Heidi-Ho on Main Street in Easton?
It was the venue of my first-ever Tavern beer (i.e. sitting and ordering from a bar stool, and enjoying an ice cold draft). I think I was illegal by ~2 years.

That was a little before my time, I do know it burnt down a few years back. There's only one bar left over there, still sitting on main street. Are you from that area?
247 Composite:
Ayo: 27
Nolley : 96
Conditt: 210
Using class calculator would yield 53.66 pts which based on right now would be 2nd in B1G after MSU. Just ahead of IU.
P.S. Just saw where this would be 4th ranked class in the country, currently.

The sole bar still in business serves a killer pork tenderloin sandwich!
Makes perfect sense, he is trying to figure out a nice place to visit before he commits. Still say he's#2 on our wish list at big man. I don't think we will take his commit till we have Sow come or find out what Castleton is going to do. Still think Castleton is the one we want.
Really glad Nolley is sounding positive, think he and THT are same players, either could fit the slot at wing. Nolley wanting to get circus over with sounds good too. THT doesnt act like he in much of a hurry , sometimes you snooze you lose.
Then there's Ayo, he has said he will commit soon, but no time line, no problem, sounds like we will wait Xmas or after , his call. Shows they will not give up on him. All good , we got all time in world, and we do have choices.

PS thanks Cash , input always welcome.

I do not believe for a min they are recruiting Sow and Castleton, to play the same place on the floor as Conditt and no way they slow play him if he wants to commit
I agree Nolley or THT would be pretty much a toss up, you take who ever wants to come here first and are happy to get either.
they way I see things right now
Sow or Castleton or who knows could be any of the Big we have been after
Conditt, or someone like Iggy
Nolley or THT
then you still over sign by one if AYO wants in, or who knows maybe AYO doesn't then you still could add a Nolley/THT or any other wing/guard that was in the first 3
been a little tweeting between Conditt and Nolley for those who love to make a mountain out of a mole hill
