somethings brewing with BPJ?...and Illini is getting warmer with him. How interesting.

I'm guessing he is Utah or maybe Washington bound, but would love to land him.

Not sure if he fits Underwood's scheme but he looks like an elite rim protector. Bet he will foul out of a lot of games though until he learns the speed of the college game, but love his potential.

Leitao and Alford were in Friday to visit BPJ. Those two names together don't get mentioned much. :)

How many times do we have to rehash this. Underwood scheme fits everyone except for Jeremiah Tilmon.

It's water under the bridge now but JT is an athletic kid. I think adding him to this team would've made us a real force due to the fact defensively you have a legit rim protector but JT can run the court

I'm not sure where you're going with this, but my sarcasm meter is dinging.

When he decommitted, we had gone through about a week of people saying every single recruit would be perfect for BU's style. Then JT decommitted and suddenly there were a handful of people who all, seemingly seriously, said "he didn't really fit BU's system." Some of us still haven't stopped laughing.

FWIW

If Conditt commits, will it affect Castleson's decision? No

Where does Kisunas rank among our current recruits? Ayo, Castleton, Nolley, Kisunas

Will Ayo take OVs to Xavier and Kansas? Unlikely both

Is MI holding a place for THT and they're just waiting for his paperwork? Seems that THT thinks so.

Would a commitment from Nolley attract other players? Yes

Anything happening with Elias Valtonen? ???

When is Conditt suppose to announce? I know he and Nolley are close to deciding. I also assume Castleton will be deciding after his visit to Michigan.

Some of you may be disappointed if you are still holding out hope for Conditt.

Something tells me that Castleton will pull the trigger before Conditt's decision date. I think we'll get one of them, not both. However, the pursuit of Kisunas makes me believe that the staff isn't 100% certain how this will play out, and doesn't want to strike out on bigs in the class.

Like your thinking, it's all guessing at this point. Next week will give us an idea, maybe sooner. 2 commits before Ayo visit would be great , maybe 3. :popcorn:

Could you imagine, 17 years old, and having to keep this a secret for 10 days or more. Good Lord.:eek:

Not that worried about Conditt. He may eventually turn out to be a star but just something about his game that doesn't get me too cranked up. Give me Castleton, Ayo, any two of Kisunas/Nolley/THT.
