Then he felt Illinois was the best fit for him. Wish him the best and cheer for the kids that actually chose iu when we would play Illinois Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I liked our chances before and I still like our chances of landing him if I had to guess I would say IU Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

It tells me they took a commitment from a small forward (smith) that was lower on their board then their top targeted small forward (Wilkes) so they had a back up plan in place but I'm done with this conversation and going to talk about Preston and how if we miss out on him people will talk about not having a back up plan in place for not landing a guy we just seriously started recruiting last month when Kansas and USC has been there since the beginning Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

That's your definition of a backup plan not every bodies Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

http://www.crimsonquarry.com/2016/9/13/12910502/billy-preston-lists-iu-in-his-final-5 I would say it's hard to find a backup plan for a guy that wasn't even on IU's radar a little over a month ago. All of the recruiting boards for IU before September 13 didn't have his name on any of them. I would assume when u dealing with 2 talented players for the same position u take both commitments and deal with it later. When Blackmon decommitted, the staff focused on and closed the deal on another top 50 shooting guard in Johnson. They still went after Blackmon hard and landed him as well. Most scouting service experts said at the time iu landed the 2 best shooters of the class Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Someone could argue the smith (4 star) was a backup option to Wilkes and since we started recruiting Preston late in the process that he was a backup option to bamba or Richards Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I would be a little more worried if it was a UCLA writer that was the source but I just can't bring myself to get to worked up over this vip content because a Duke writer is the source. It's one thing if he had info on another team in the ACC but inside info on a team on the other side of the country in the PAC 12. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

CB still trending UCLA just means 247( Meyer) feels he is a UCLA lean. I will start to worry when Evan Daniels of scout, Eric bossi of rivals, and Paul bicarnardi of ESPN all start leaning UCLA (which they might now but unlike CB they tend to wait until it's closer to decision day before they show their picks Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Shake Milton would be an example against that fact and Malik Williams would be a current example. There were others as well but I would agree more times then not it is a good sign when she follows someone Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I wouldn't worry too much. Crystal ball is 70 Georgetown and around 30 for uconn.......... So that means he will probably go to Maryland Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
