Kid blew up in a hurry. Went from having a meh offer list to a great one in all of 2 weeks.

Interesting.  Another guard?  Figured we were done with guards in 23.  Hmmm

The way BK recruited and I am sure CMW has the same thought process, good guards are key to a successful program, especially wings!

This staff isn't messing around. We are in on a ton of top level talent. Coach Woodson is making an IU offer mean something again.

Maybe they are concerned we are losing somebody?

X is gone.

Bates is possible I suppose.
JHS is possible.

Gunn will be back if no transfer.

Leal/Galloway. I could see a push here.

Very likely to have 5 return and 2 coming in.

Did not make his top 11. This one went nowhere.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Committed to Kansas.

[WayneFleekHoosier]

A Texas swing and miss. :).

Things seem to fall in line for the blue bloods.

This was not a kid that we had been actively recruiting for a long time.  Our offer was made on July 1, and he had already ruled us out on Aug. 17, when he announced his top 11.

I was Joking as he was a Texas target re the recent Beard discussion.

Self got one of his 56 offers for the 2023 class to say yes instead of no.   All kidding good pickup for them.    Miami and Notre Dame were probably on him the longest only to have Kansas offer July 17th and get his commitment in October.

Yeah, the scouts seemed to love him down the stretch. DHS too. One of the good things of enjoying college basketball is you get to follow some of these recruits a little closer. The more you follow recruiting the more interesting all the games are.
