But unfortunately he does fit that profile that Keady and Painter always seem to have on the PUke roster.

Baylor will be the team to beat for him it sounds like.  Sounds like he might not be back at La Lu for next year

247Sports with an update but behind the paywall.  Mike Schumann subsequently commented that we're 1 of 6 pushing hard for him.

IU is pushing hard on him. He is keeping his recruitment extremely tight lipped.

That's his 3rd high school. He was in Texas before heading to La Lumiere. Have no idea if this will affect IU's involvement, but in a earlier interview Coach Ya said they looked at how many times a kid jumped from different AAU teams. I'm guessing it's a red flag for some colleges that he's on his 3rd high school. Will be interesting situation to follow although 247 has him as a cyrstal ball going to Baylor.

This one never even made it to a 2-page thread.

Announced that Baylor, Kansas, Texas, UCLA, and USC all made the final cut.

Had so little faith in this recruitment that I didn’t watch a single second of him.

Shame.  BIG options dwindle a little more.

Committed to USC today.  That's U. of So. Cal. not U of So. Car.
