If Nembhard goes to AZ, do you think with what we are recruiting at PG, Boswell would entertain here or become an option to be one of our top options? The dude would at least meet the standards of not being a freshman, could be a local legend, and I think could have one heck of a sophomore leap.
Yuck, eww, nasty, my eyes!
Hold on, I gotta go get my readers and zoom in on all of their shirts.
Check out Indy’s gifs
I noticed this as well and, because of the timing, I thought it had to do with Storr. Glad to see I was wrong.For us ? It’s still on the table … Just gonna be tough to navigate …
It’s not really a secret the 4 players I was referring to & I have confirmed we do indeed have the $$ to support it …
Interesting that we're not getting a visit?
So Hunter was in Indy’s gif… but also thinks Kansas lands him.. soo…. What’s up with that?
Do we have the money for Hunter ? Yes.
Would we take Hunter ? Yes.
Does he have a visit set up at this very moment ? No.
Does Kansas have all of those 3 things listed above … Yes …
Which leads me to believe … As of right now … Kansas is the team to beat …
Not for a lack of trying …
They’re not mutually exclusive. Brad and Company could be aggressively pursuing Hunter and Indy could believe Kansas holds the edge.
Edit: I see Indy explained it for himself.

I went there for grad school. Can confirm.Can confirm this is exactly what Tempe looks like …
Was there very recently …
Thanks for the 'splainer.
Man it would be hard to root for him in O&B. The fact that it'd be in the f4 probably will help.
Don't Tempt Me.....

Maybe he’s not going to bother with a trip until there’s clarity with the TSJ situation?
When Warden got in the game early in the season I thought he looked the part. He definitely had plenty of lift on his jumper and had good size for a guard. I was impressed by his athleticism for a walkon. His HS teammates have had success. I think he can find a level on scholarship where he can def play. Maybe MVC or Horizon. But parents should know walkons are never gonna play in basketball even if they deserve it
Mill Avenue is a great place to hang out, both the bars and the laid back coffee shops. The people are nice. The scenery .... Students, if they go home for the summer, miss 3 of the 6 really bad weather months (daily 100+ until after 10pm).
Unfortunately when I went back to ASU recruiting (CS), there was never a single candidate worth sending onsite for more interviews. In comparison, UIUC, while having many weak candidates, had some good ones, and a few OMG give them whatever they ask. UIUC gets multiple visits a year.
I understand where you're coming from. I can remember when I once looked down on schools that had to regularly bring in Juco players to plug holes in their rosters as programs that weren't able to build a sustainable culture and develop their players. Those days are now gone forever and instead of Jucos it's now division 1 players jumping ship for what they hope are greener pastures (more $$, more PT, or more chances to be higher in the scoring pecking order). I've always been a fan of the college game over the pro's, in part because you could watch these freshmen develop and mature into a team, and wondering during the off season who'd make a big jump the next season. Now I'm left with watching a bunch of free agents who happen to wear he jersey of my alma mater for perhaps that season only. Something has been lost from the joy of college basketball forever, unless changes are made to these transfer rules.
Taylorville native. Part of undefeated state championship team.
True. That record will probably last forever.

Yea, and also committed to potential flare ups in the nether regions.If I was a recruit … Probably a 0% chance I’m leaving uncommitted …
Don’t think Slick Rick could even compete …
From what I’m hearing … Sounds like Del Conte is about to get his first tongue lashing about hiring Terry …
Estrada to Bama … They offered more $$ than K State …
I’ve also been told Abmas likes K State … A LOT …
Imagine Terry goes to his AD …. Says I need more money so I can hire this guy and get Abmas … So he hires Haith to get Abmas and doesn’t even get him …
Yikes … Would love to be a fly on the wall for that …
Terry won’t last 2 years … Have said it since the jump and CDC can pack his
with him …
Not a done deal on Abmas to K State … But Estrada got told to go to Bama … So Tang must have his guy …

I’d be shocked if he stayed in the Big Ten. Like the Nance kid last year.
