I do think he is in West Virginia right now.

Thomas Bryant's decision seems to be largely influenced by his mother, Linda Bryant, like Camp Crean said above. It's understandable when your child is going to be over 600 miles away. To me this visit it big either way - but it is even more serious if Mom is attending again. Otherwise, it could be a ride with his buddies (Bridges/Jones) from WV to Bloomington. That's not to diminish his interest in IU - clearly Bryant's interest is very high and I did hear Bryant is doing some recruiting for IU on that Huntington Prep team.   If Mom comes, imo, that is more serious. Look out for that, she may be the one who needs the most convincing.

Gotta convince mama

@NICKIRV: Morgan Park 6'1 PG @Marcus_LoVett aka Bright Lights just pick up a scholarship offer from Illinois #IlliniNation

Jeff Rabjohns @JeffRabjohns Updated offer list for top-20 prospect @MilesBridges01 after Michigan State offered today.

Yes

Jeff Rabjohns @JeffRabjohns After being offered by Indiana, top-20 prospect @MilesBridges01 offered by UConn & Tennessee today.

I heard back in the summer IU really likes this kid. They showed some interest in the 15 kid Iowa just offered (his name escapes me) recently so I was sorta thinking Iverson may come back into play.

Jeff Rabjohns @JeffRabjohns Talented 2017 East Chicago (IN) guard Jermaine Couisinard (@The__Future11) tells me he will be attending Indiana's Hoosier Hysteria. #iubb

Alex Kline @TheRecruitScoop Indiana offered 2016 Huntington Prep (WV) guard Curtis Jones.

I don't think it's in his plan as of now. He knows IU, but IU needs to win some games this year. I can see him making a trip in Jan/Feb (if his HS season allows it) but IU needs to win games. Coaching stability is important here. 

That is sorta shocking news

    Nothing to suggest IU. Maybe Chuck can pull some magic over time but I'd be skeptical.    Fwiw, that link posted above regarding Bryant possibly using his other two OV's was said prior to the visit to Bloomington.

Bryant to possibly take two more visits

The visit went well and IU fans knowing of him and acknowledging him seemed to really sit well with Bryant. Mama feels more comfortable, but still continue to hear the home angle. 

See above; there is some natural interest towards IU. This guy can play

Ride Coleman here, IU needs to capitalize

That'll work!

That was fuuunnnn

I know Bryant is pushing a spring decision date, but it just doesn't seem like it's going to go that long.

Certainly on to something here mdn.

@TheRecruitScoop: Kentucky has offered 2016 PF Omari Spellman of MacDuffie (MA).

    Surely you don't believe that roster management is unrelated to results on the court? The guys on the roster play on the court. I may have misunderstood your point there.   I've said it a bunch of times - I don't care about the players as "victims" as you state it. It doesn't bug me a bit. But please clarify who you think is aware of the "oversign plan." Are you saying that Crean, his assistants, the players who will be leaving currently on the team, and the recruits who will be replacing them are all aware and informed of this plan?   Or are you saying Crean only informs the recruits of his plan? 

Haha

No, I agree. I feel like I should not have posted that because people are going to interpret it that way. Obviously SU leads now, but he hasn't been to IU so there is definitely still a shot.
