It's hard to imagine he chooses IU over Kentucky or even Auburn or UCLA. But stranger things have happened.

They don't have his PG

Having a friend and former teammate on your squad helps land a top player occasionally, but not often. I think it helped put IU in his top 5. Not sure it gets us any more than that. Coach Woodson will have to really connect to overcome the allure of Kentucky.

Actually, the experts say Oregon leads for now.

Obviously it’s apropos of nothing, but it’s pretty amazing looking at different online sites and seeing UK fans actually pessimistic on landing a recruit the way some of them seem to be with Evans. St Peter’s really took the starch out of their conceit. Just 1 more reason to love that team.

From an article I read he said that UK and Auburn he had good relationships with them.  It said IU had a great coaching staff and he had a great relationship with them.  I would look at Oregon because he talked about Nike

Yeah kid said Oregon was his dream school in one of the earlier articles before they were involved.   They got involved so most are just connecting the dots.   We shall see how it plays out

We also have a real connection to Kwame Evans’ dad.

His dad played college ball against Kenya Hunter, and they have remained friends.

If Trayce stays this year and we win a bunch, and Trayce’s spot completely opens up for 2023, this could get special.

You think he is going to wait that long to make his decision? That would be odd to wait until April to decide on his college choice

Evans is in the 2023 class. He said recently he would make his decision before the 2022-23 season starts next fall.

Right, he would make his decision before the start of the college basketball season like 6 months from now vs after Trayce plays his final season

Speaking of evans.. do we have anyone going?

With what happened today - and how Coach is establishing a connection with Monteverde - this scenario very well could play itself out.

This one is going to be the one to watch this next year. If you can get him to go along with JHS, Tamar, Geronimo, and Malik....

With a line up like that I would hope we could get a transfer

And let’s not forget Kwame is somehow tied to Melo….whose a huge fan of who, that’s right Mike Woodson. The ties or there for sure.
