I hope this kid commits to us or were are going to have some egg on our face for doing all this announcing how good he is and then he goes to UNLV.
Don't wanna come on to strong. Could be a lawsuit
If he goes to UNLV - or Rhode Island - he will still be good. He has proven it this last season at JUCO.

I'm not in the know, but I'll answer anyway
It appears to be down to UNLV, Rhode Island and us. Kansas and DePaul have also been involved.
He visited UNLV two weekends ago, here last weekend, Depaul on monday and RI this weekend. It doesn't appear he's going to visit Kansas, but he was a couple hours away from Lawrence at his JUCO and has been there multiple times.
He's been seen, it seems, as an ISU lean for a while. We were the first in on him, before he blew up this year, and his first Power 5 conf offer. Prohm has been the lead recruiter on him and made it his top priority. A UNLV guy on twitter thinks he's going to UNLV because - basically - hookers and blow > cornfields. Rhode Island got involved late, but they are an up-and-coming tourney team with a good coach and are only a couple hours from his family.
Completely making this up, but I'd say the % breakdown of where he ends up is:
40% ISU
30% UNLV
20% Rhode Island
10% Kansas
Do you think Prohm tells the players to give him a follow and reach out to him and stuff to help with the recruiting or do the players follow and reach out to recruits on there own
He'd be dumb not to use every single resource at his disposal if this truly is their biggest want/need
I have no doubt the players know what players can come in and help them win and who they want to play with.
EDIT: Remember recruit Allen Lazard tweeting another recruit that he would give him his number if he came to ISU? I'm sure the coaches didn't put him up to that.

Yup! Kinda like how Lindell referenced how he liked Terrence Lewis' game while meeting him on the visit, then they've been in contact ever since. I hope Lindell see's that Shakur is a huge need for us, and/or Prohm has told him as much.

Unless I missed something...not a single outlet or the URI forums have confirmed at all that he's visiting URI this weekend. He was actually going to visit KU this weekend but that appear to have not happened now.
I do worry about URI..a lot. They have one gap and it is at PF. Other than that they will be a top 25 team. However they also have a legit NBA draft pick on roster and couple other really good players...This may push SJ away more than anything. He's got 2 years to get better and prove himself at a higher level and that means getting a lot of touches and being a focal point not the 4th or 5th option..
At ISU he would be that focal point next couple seasons along with LW.

I tend to think he is good enough that he is not afraid of really good players playing next to him.

He's a stud inside..stud..not so much for an outside shot though. Tremendous rebounder and defender and scorer inside..If I'm him at 6'7 im wanting to go to a place i can develop some outside game cause not a lot of 6'7 guys play the 4 in the NBA. Just sayin. Guess that's more what i was thinking.
We should know by tomorrow if he's visiting URI this weekend...I'd think very soon. My hunch is we are going to either have a commit from him in next few days or it ain't happening prob..It's certainly possible he is also waiting to see who else we get to add to the 2017 team..so this weekends visits by Alstok/Brown are huge for more than just them commiting IMO.
