Definitely not David and Nigel. More like the drummers.

Hopefully we'll be a tough act to follow and any concerns about distance from Roebuck, SC have been eliminated.

I agree. Although, I believe the embrace he and his family received (as do other major basketball recruits on visits to Bloomington) was a stern reminder to other schools how high the bar has been set with his visit to Indiana. My best guess is that even if other schools try to upstage such a welcoming, the fans just aren't as hardcore elsewhere as the Indiana community is about basketball. I believe they'll do their best to drum up "extras", but hopefully Noah recognizes the genuine interest IU fans have in him. We shall see. Regardless, I hope they gave equal amounts of love a second time around for Mr Banks.

VT fans definitely noticed our efforts this past weekend

Staff did an incredible job on this one. The visit 100% made an impact.

Looking forward to any tidbits that you or anyone else hear. It’s fantastic that things went well but  it is too bad that he has three more visits. Would love to read about a cancellation, or two or three :)

In cases like this, I always fear we'll be the victim of recency bias -- the latest visit will be the one that sticks out in his mind. His final trip is Alabama -- and that worries me. That is one hot program right now.

I feel pretty good about him

My concern is Alabama . The location and their recent success with tournament and coach. 
other than that I feel good about landing him:)

What do you mean location?

I thought he was from Alabama. My bad!

My gut feeling was good on Banks, medium-low on JHS then leading to really strong confidence.  My gut feeling for Clowney is very, very strong.  I think they sold him TJD's spot and that has to be an attractive need for our team.  Lots of checks on this one, including staff relationship and vibe of the coaching staff.  Plus, we fell out of other big man recruitments mostly, and I don't think that is a 100% unrelated coincidence.

Not exactly sure who you are referring to, but as far as I can tell from web searches, the student leadership council from Queen's College in Kingston, Ontario is unlikely to have inside info on the Noah Clowney recruitment.
