This post won't go well...

It's actually about the exact opposite

Since we don't really have info here, is it safe to assume that the program collapsed, Prohm is gone, and it's all bad?
I just want to panic. That's all.

Illinois fans are weird.

One of them tweeted a picture of the final 4 team....from 12 years...when THT was 5 or 6. That's about like us pitching Marcus Fixer or Jamaal Tinsley to recruits.

The really cool thing about this class, unlike most fall signing periods that I can remember, is that even if we we don't land THT, we have a pretty good class. In fact, even if we only sign one more Juco/transfer in the next year, our roster is pretty well stocked regardless.

It's a great feeling.

Illinois fans dominating the tweet responses.

They're desperate

This football season is taking a toll I see. Too much winning, not enough panicking.

YEAH, LET’S ALL START PANICKING!

Good grief, it was an obvious joke in response to the previous poster's 'positioning' comment about being third. This board.....

Can't understand the Xavier logic. enjoy playing all your games on CBS sports net or some crap like that.

OR - enjoy making life long friends and developing your basketball career at ANY school you choose. I'd rather it be ISU, but Xavier is only a wrong answer for EVERYONE on this board who has never even met that young man.

 

[rholtgraves]

No need to worry. He is going to choose ISU

Xavier has a very nice basketball program. They also have a rampant case of crabs that infests the campus every fall

I don't want to know how you know this.

We found his fall vacation destination.

Agree.

THT would be a hell of a pickup. Add him and a good spring addition and next several years m should be special, even with young guys playing big roles.

The Rivals guys are giving Xavier the "slight edge"

• In a move that's not a huge surprise, four-star wing Talen Horton-Tucker
is down to a final three of Illinois, Iowa State and Xavier. After a trip to Illinois over the weekend, Horton-Tucker has now seen each campus officially and should be in a position to make his choice. His recruitment is turning into a tight one but at least headed into his Illinois visit over the weekend we would give Xavier the slight edge.

 

[istater7]

Is it known when he is supposed to be announcing his decision?

 

[LLCoolCY]

Notable that Evan Flood gave ISU a crystal ball last night for Talen. Especially promising that the pick comes on the day THT left Illinois campus.

It seems like the any rumblings from people in the know on the ISU side have given Xavier the slight edge as well.

The only things I've seen is that Xavier appears to be our competition. Not seeing that they're the favorite.
