If it makes you feel any better, he also put a crystal ball on Seton Hall for Anthony Nelson today. Then he committed to Dayton just over an hour later. So he definitely doesn't wait to know anything concrete before making a prediction.
Talen Horton-Tucker cuts list to 3 (ISU is on it)
- Thread starter Cyclonepride
- Start date
Keep in mind, though, that if someone had a CB for someone, they can't take it away, they can only change it. SO if they picked MSU, they are taking a shot in the dark.
Anyone know when our in-home is or was this week? Obviously couldn't have been today with the Big 12 media day. So either yesterday or tomorrow.
I was just going to mention the in home visits, if THT told anyone where he was going, why would he schedule in home visits with all 3 schools? Any CB seems like just a guess unless all of those have been completed.
And as quiet as THT has been about his thoughts and intentions (remarkably so), it seems odd that leaks sprung from all over the place in the final three days. My guess is the leaks are coming from the Illinois side (and perhaps to add pressure if they're unsure). You wouldn't think you'd want to blow the kid's moment in the sun by letting the cat out of the bag.
Also, the in-homes could be to tell them his decision in person (which would be a very mature way to go about it). I suppose some of the leaking could be from whoever got an in-home already and was told no.
I'm confused. I thought I just read on twitter that Nelson did commit to Seton Hall today?
Similar to Conditt with all three coaches visiting him the last few days before his decision. I don't think anything leaked on him for sure until the actual announcement.
That's weird. Evan Daniel's page showed him as a Dayton commit, but it appears you are right. I take it back then, we're screwed.
my goodness the drama by some people on this is amusing.
I've felt good about THT since Messiah Jones committed to Drake. I still think he's the best player we're involved with and he doesn't turn 17 until November. I'd still be stoked if we could get Tyler Harris if he falls through.
Does the Brad Underwood/Lamont Evans relationship enter into his decision? Underwood bolted from OSU pretty quickly...could be the Illini opening was just too good to pass up...or, that BU knew the FBI shoe was going to drop (pun intended) on the Cowboys, and he got outta Stillwater as fast as possible to avoid being
tied to the mess. If I’m a recruit considering a school, I’d want to make sure that my four (or five) years aren’t going to be damaged by some NCAA or FBI probe.

To stir the pot, one of the Illinois assistants that was hired, was the Mac Irvine AAU coach a few years ago....Ayo...then THT when Rose didn't make the EYBL.
This isn’t nearly as bad as the Rashad Vaughn recruitment
Underwood didn't know because no one knew about the FBI. Illinois tripled his income when the Ok St AD lowballed him.
