They do! I saw two golf carts with staff, recruits and families drive down Daniels toward the quad Saturday around 3:00PM. Pretty sure Chester was in one of them.

Golf carts you say ...

"At first, I was really, really, really going to Illinois," Nesbitt said. "I really was. My mind was pretty much made up. Then, one day, Coach Penny was at, like, a golf tournament, and heard that I was going to Illinois. He literally called me from the golf cart. He stopped playing to call me. We had a great talk. After that, I just kind of fell in love. If a guy is doing that for me, I can't give that up.”

Vaguely recalled a Nesbitt and had to look him up. He's been to 3 colleges already and he's a sophomore, so I guess changing his mind on schools to attend is a regular thing haha.

Catch me up... So for 2024 we've got the two PF. We need guards. Are we in on anyone else for 2024?

yeah, kinda dodged a bullet there. I really wanted him and was pretty sure we were going to land him.

I do expect him to ultimately re-class ...

As of today, I like our chances ...

He is coming for the Penn State game on an OV with Josiah Moseley and Mikey Lewis ...

Lewis: read that this recruitment is trending towards LSU. fact or BS?

Not sure if Glover is making it for the 9/16 visit ... And even if he does ... It doesn't matter ... He ain't coming ...

Larry Johnson will not be here for that 9/16 visit either unless he rescheduled his Creighton visit ... Which I had not heard about ... He has been to VT ... He is at Creighton for the weekend of 15th and is going to Penn State on the weekend of the 22nd ...
