He is visiting Kansas Monday/Tuesday and IU Friday/Saturday. Let’s just hope we can actually get him on campus or hope Tyson commits to Kansas ASAP!

They will probably get Tyson and then they will make room for Mgbako by telling someone to hit the road and having him put his name in the portal

I mean, did you really think he'd have Kansas in his top 4 but not even visit? 

Any time a visit is unscheduled I get curious about whether it’s gonna happen or not. Always seemed like he’d take all 4 but for awhile the KU and UL ones weren’t scheduled; still not sure if the UL one has a date

They could, but there is only so much court time.  Bringing in Tyson effects court time;  having the last player they have on scholarship leave doesn't.

If they want him really bad, will the scholarship issue even matter. payments will be made.

True, but he decommited from Duke because of the role he was going to play -- didn't want the Marvin Williams, combo 3/4, 20 minutes per game role.

For sure.

if Tyson committed one would expect that to notably diminish KU’s chances with Mgbako

Don’t like this at all. 

Neither do I.

Hope he sees more featured playing time here.That seems to be the reason he backed out at Duke .

We knew he was visiting Kansas, St John’s,IU and UL……

Hell yeah, My birthday is May 6!

Probably won’t know much since his family is keeping everything pretty tight

Heard X and Trey unfollowed Mgbako on IG. If they know something… I’m going to be sad again.

Yup I’d say that’s definitely not a good sign.

Eh,  I don’t buy into that IG stuff, if he cancels  the IU visit, then you will have your answer

Also doesn’t mean that someone saying they did unfollow makes that true.  

[HoosierTrav 7,619]

This has personally felt like a pipe dream the entire time. I don’t feel confident when Kansas wants the same guys that Indiana wants. We aren’t even close to being at their level, yet.

Neither is following him now. Maybe they never followed him, though. Paging our IG expert.

X and Trey are 5 and 3 years older than this guy. Not sure why they would even be following him in the first place, especially since we didn't even know we'd be getting a visit until two days ago.

Apparently X never even followed, so that part was false. Trey did follow but was never followed back and did unfollow. He could’ve also been told to unfollow bc Mgbako’s family has wanted to keep this recruitment close to the vest.
