unknown, but we offered in the end of May and have been in to watch him a few times since then. Idk, if he has said anything in regards to us in interviews though.

Ok. I wasn't sure if I had missed anything.

Nope, I think you're good. But it does seem that the interest has picked up on our side. Idk if that has a correlation to how our coaches feel about our situation with him, or not, but he's certainly worth keeping an eye on him going forward.

I know a lot of his college interest came early, but it still seems that some bigger fish are still at least interested. Somewhat surprised Texas isn't more heavily involved.

Looking at his profile he actually likes a lot of tweets about/from recruits. I mean we pretty much already know but it really confirms who the priorities are & if we're still recruiting certain guys.

Will be interesting to see if ISU spends some time down in Ottumwa this winter recruiting. They've added a few d1 transfers in addition to Christian Matthews

He's got hops too..


My completely optimistic crazy fantasy is that we get this kid to commit and he grows 4 or 5 inches his senior year. Dude is a stud and give him that and he'd be even better. Not impossible but not likely.

More likely scenario is the nut cup gets some use when he mysteriously commits to UNLV.

For the record, still a want even if he is 5'9"

I am the exact opposite. I want him to stay at 5'9 forever so when he scores 31 in the second half and 22 straight against Baylor, we can say a 5'9 kid did it:)

Baylor always has some small under 6' guard too so it would be a great match up. Granted we have a bunch of "do not want" under 6'10" big men.
