How reliable/connected is Tyler Tachman? Maybe Wilcher deserves his own recruiting thread? 

Tyler’s about 12 years old, so don’t know connected he is at this point. But I always liked his stuff when he was interning for ITH.

Xavier and this kid in the same backcourt are good for ~4 combined technical fouls next year

...... if it happens

The young man has some sauce, that's for sure.  I am surprised we aren't hearing more about Nebraska on this recruitment given his brother starts for Hoiberg's squad.

He's a solid listen on Podcast on the Brink as well, he makes Bozich somewhat tolerable.

He's really not reporting anything here that wasn't already stated by previous sources.  In terms of Wilcher, if a couple of days go by and he hasn't committed to St. John's, then I would consider him open season.  He's either ended his visit to St. John's or is ending it soon.

Mongolian Mike is off the board, heading to San Francisco.  Good move all around given the large Mongolian community in the Bay Area.

Figured he would go to Nebraska

At around 1:50 mark, they start a segment about Wilcher and Mgbako going to rival schools. They talk about being pretty tight friends off the court... just a nugget considering some speculated they don't get along... (Wilcher also says later in the video he is proud of Mgbako and mentions he's grown up playing with/around them)

Maybe I'm dead wrong but I don't see SJU working out here. If we get a foot in the door I think we have as good a chance as anyone.

I kind of want him but an a little concerned about Mustaf and Harper if one or both them want to come on in 24.

Sure, but bird in hand....seems like every off-season is gonna be a complete rebuild going forward so take the best you can get now and worry about tomorrow later.

Naw, the kids nowadays are wanting to make super teams. I don’t think it hurts with either

You have to play next season before the one after it. We want to sign some good players for '24, of course, but '24 recruits aren't winning us any games next season.

Curious why KU is messing with him.

Nobody seems to know what is going on with Antonio Reeves but maybe the staff is getting tired of the drama and so are reaching out to Chris Johnson. Did he play much for Montverde? I don't remember him when watching their games.

Just wild speculation, nothing more.....I think Kansas wasn't happy with the way Texas handled Ron Holland's decommitment.  The feeling initially was that Holland was going to decommit from Texas and go to Kansas.  It drug on, Kansas moved on, and Holland ended up going to G-League Ignite.  Since Texas is interested in Johnson, might be their way of sticking it to Texas.  Already bad blood to begin with as Arterio Morris transferred from Texas to Kansas.

If you can get Johnson now as opposed to waiting two months to see if you could get Reeves, you take Johnson now.

• It is now confirmed that Antonio Reeves is taking classes at Illinois State.
• He needs to graduate by end of summer to be eligible for a second (this time graduate) transfer.
• If he was planning on staying at Kensucky, he would not need to spend his summer at Illinois State taking classes - he could simply finish his undergrad degree in the fall at UK and suit up for a Covid year with them.

• Therefore, I strongly suspect that Antonio Reeves will transfer.
• Likeliest choices? 
  • Michigan
  • Indiana
  • Illinois

Is it confirmed how long before he will complete his undergraduate degree at Illinois State? Have been hearing August but don't know if that is valid.

It would seem as though he would finish when the summer semester finishes at Illinois State. A quick internet search shows that date to be Saturday, August 12th.

Correct, and I think it states something like grades being due on Aug 15 and posted on the 17th
