Any chance? Is he someone we were interested in?

lol no. He'll probably end up back at Louisville, although I'm pretty sure his handler is pro-LSU. I could be wrong but pretty sure. This is a classic grassroots b/s commit/decommit. This is the type of recruitment where a lot of shady [deleted] is going down but SMU will not be in it, nor while just about any other team outside the SEC, Nike schools and Louisville. My best guess is back at Louisville though unless he really gets some serious heat put on him.

I believe pitino told him they will not be recruiting him anymore.

You sure? I've not been paying close attention to the situation. I know what happened behind the scenes, Nike vs Adidas school, his AAU team is E1T1 which is on the Nike EYBL circuit, I know there was pressure put on his handlers by Nike that wanted him to look around before committing to the first school he looked at. As far as I'm concerned, his recruitment does not affect me and therefore haven't paid real close attention. This is just something that was relayed to me by a friend in the recruiting industry.

Damn, I think it's a mistake to stop recruiting him. He's too good.

Lol, you being serious or sarcastic? I wish we had some interesting things to talk about. I'm still licking the wounds after the V Tech loss and just waiting for basketball season to get here. Next week my youngest sister has got a major AAU tournament and I'm looking forward to it big time if that tells you how bored I am waiting for BBall to start :lol:

I'm serious. You and HoopmanX and of course devil in the machine are my favorite posters on here. Always some good intel.

By the way, OSU means Oklahoma State to 70% of the posters here, including me. I have to always remember you're talking about the Woody Hayes school not the glow orange inbreds.

Good luck to your sister!

Yeah, I'll have to fix that. tOSU*** And thanks, I'm hoping she lands the offer she wants here but she's already been blessed to have the opportunity to play college bball regardless of whether it's her dream school or not, but I really appreciate it.
