Jeff Rabjohns @JeffRabjohns 2016 top-30 prospect Rawle Alkins (@Iam_RawleAlkins) tells me he was offered by Florida State today.

I mentioned they hired the ex-baseball assistant, Ty Rodgers, strictly for basketball related multimedia with an emphasis on their recruiting and I believe that is what they had in mind

Wish I could, Wayne. I suppose it could change is the best I can do.

I'm not going to pretend to know all of the details of this, but the fact that he has been in the country for tourneys the past weeks and not a single coach has been there to see him leads me to believe coaches don't see him  playing college basketball due to eligibility - at this point.

I'll take the complete opposite stance here.

Yeah, it was just a joke.

  Ha I missed that, but further evidence not to put much stock in her word. 

No. 

It's not as serious as it's being made out to be. UK is the threat

Hoops Hype Canada @HoopsHypeCA ESPN writes lack of colleges showing up to Thon Maker games is connected to lack of faith he goes to college     Coaches don't see him going to school.

Kyle Neddenriep @KyleNeddenriep Recruiting notes: update on Lawrence North freshman Kevin Easley and Butler offers pair of in-state 2017 prospects. indy.st/1us4JwJ     At this point, he has no plans of making an early commitment. "Not until my senior year," he said.

Unless something has changed, only Thon, his brother and one other family member escaped South Sudan. His parents are still there. 

Jeff Rabjohns @JeffRabjohns North Central (IN) 2017 F Kris Wilkes offered by Butler during visit this morning, per AAU coach Mike Peterson.

I haven't heard Mizzou in a long time, maybe we're getting different info.

Generally, a reclass is a fast track. And staff/players have these conversations throughout the year (on topic hint: Yogi being on the fence, IU taking a look at some guys) - unless you're saying Vonleh deceived Crean - to which I would say no way.

Oh, this thread has it all  :P

Adam Zagoria @AdamZagoria Rawle Alkins Drops Triple-Double In Front of Mark Gottfried, Tom Crean zagsblog.com/articles/rawle…

Jeff Rabjohns @JeffRabjohns 2016 guard @Iam_RawleAlkins 13 pts, 12 rebs, 10 assits in front of Indiana's Tom Crean & Chuck Martin; N.C. St. coaches tonight.

    Comparatively, Wayne has a point.   Spring was about as in the dumps as it gets. Heard a b10 coach say after the Priller/April signings that Crean is either going to look like a mad scientist or like he has totally lost it, because he'd never heard of either. Not to write those guys off or anything but it hasn't panned out so well so far.   I do feel like momentum is genuinely up since even Morgan/OG though, but that is more of a feeling.

No problem, brother.  

It should be a big recruiting day for the staff as it looks like the snow is holding out until tomorrow out east. 

Adam Zagoria @AdamZagoria UNLV asst Todd Simon saw Southern Idaho big man @RayKasongo32 today. Former Oregon commit

I'm not saying he won't end up at UK but it I can say it's far from certain like that "good source" is stating. Far, far, too many elements and variables in this one for someone who probably won't be deciding until after the middle of April when players declare for the draft.
