He needs to stuff his face all day in addition to lifting.
I bet he's already sick of hearing how much he needs to bulk up
This probably eliminates Cincinnati for Tyler Harris. He has said he plans to visit them.
Hopefully he was waiting until the Cincy visit to make a decision and now he speeds up his timeline.
Does he have hickies on both his neck and shoulder?
I don't think Cinci was a legitimate threat for Harris as he hadn't scheduled a visit yet. But that certainly can't hurt.
For people into crystal ball picks, we've gotten two more today for Conditt, including one from Jerry Meyer.
If ISU gets Conditt and somehow also lands Horton-Tucker, ISU would have 3/5 of the top ranked players in Illinois. Not a bad way to start a pipeline:

Messi absolutely kills it on the recruiting threads. Much appreciated man. You have my vote for poster of the year
Found this tweet interesting regarding THT and the thinking MSU is now out...
I wasn't able to view this article but sounds like we'll hear something very soon on OV's. Guessing Illinois, MSU, Kan

And while I'm posting about THT, his tape from this summer makes me view him more as a guard and less as a small forward than I have in the past. Before I saw him and ZG as being very similar players. Now I would revise that and say I think THT is a more of a mismatch, big shooting guard and ZG will end up being a 4 who can kind of do everything.

Agreed, I think we take either Halliburton or THT, but not both. Where as we'd gladly take THT and Zion. Imagine having two mismatches like that on the wings

Yeah I'm right with you there. I don't think THT would start as a freshmen over Shayok or Babb/Lewis but I'd love to have that problem
I'm thinking Illinois, Kansas, Mich St, ISU all get OV's.Edit: I'm also kind of surprised that 247 is behind with updating his ranking

I think the thought on MSU is that they are out of schollies and may be currently already oversigned by one so something would really need to shakeout to have a spot for THT.
Stumbled across this today, SIAP. Putting into perspective the disruptive presence Iowa State is in the state of Illinois for this class.

"THE COLLEGE PROGRAM [ENTER SCHOOL NAME FROM PAST YEARS] WITH AN EMERGING PRESENCE IN ILLINOIS: When coach Archie Miller was at Dayton, the Flyers singled out certain individual prospects in Illinois and hit them hard in the recruiting process. Miller, along with valued assistant coach Tom Ostrom, did their homework, locked in on a few and landed their fair share.
Simeon’s Kendall Pollard and Morgan Park’s Kyle Davis helped fuel those highly-successful NCAA Tournament teams in Dayton. Now Morgan Park’s Josh Cunningham is at Dayton.
There are other examples like this in the past –– SMU had a run with the likes of Sterling Brown and Ben Moore –– but there are also plenty of schools who have cast a wide net, tried and tried, offering anyone and everyone, and came up short.
Thus, a school “being strong” and having a “presence” in Chicago is sometimes overblown due to simply getting their name thrown around by throwing around offers.
But what Iowa State has been able to do leading up to this Class of 2018 in Illinois is impressive. In two years in Ames, coach Steve Prohm and his staff have taken a page out of Archie Miller’s staff days at Dayton in identifying and targeting players it can land.
There are few legit high-major prospects in the Class of 2018 in Illinois. Iowa State has landed one of them (Hinsdale South’s Zion Griffin) and is in very good shape with two others in the City/Suburban Hoops Report top five.
Late-blooming George Conditt of Corliss has visited Iowa State already and has the Cyclones among his final three schools. Conditt says he will make a decision in early October, though an official visit to Illinois is this weekend.
And Prohm and his staff are a not-talked-about-enough contender for Talen Horton-Tucker. The Simeon star has a bevy of schools on his list, but Iowa State has been there through it all and been consistent in its recruitment of the versatile wing.
So Iowa State is deeply involved with three of the top four prospects in the state of Illinois. Yes, that offseason storyline is legit."
