(2017) SF Kris Wilkes to UCLA

[AKHoosier 6,747]

I wonder if we still have any in-home visits left with Wilkes, or if we'll use them, or if we'd need to use them.

You think this is a desperation move pap?

I'm not pap, obviously, but IU is in a good place with Wilkes. Ill has been trying to catch up by negatively recruiting. They're trying to get in Wilkes head about IU forcing him to play the four instead of primarily on the wing. The commitment of Moore kind of messed up Ill message on that.

Yes, probably desperation.

Again, I'm not pap. I don't have his knowledge or connections.

Wilkes can play what ever position he wants. If Groce is going that route, they are truly desperate.

Illini boards still seem very pessimistic about their chances but maybe that's just their permanent mentality.

Not surprising on the negative recruiting, he did learn from Matta.

Matta isn't the only one that can go negative, it's time the world recognizes him (and his grotesquely enormous nose) for who he is: Karl Malden's love child!

Still got power. I'm channeling Middle School Bob intimidation mojo and breaking up the storm little by little!

Kyle Neddenreip of the Indpls. Star reporting that Wilkes has canceled visits to UConn and Xavier and it's down to 3:  IU, UCLA and Illinois.

Game. Blouses.

I just simply cannot believe that a kid who is that close to his immediate family will go to UCLA.

I suppose Illinois is possible, but...........................

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,975]

Class could be full of size, length, and versatility. Close this deal CTC!

Some think Indiana's chances very good. Some like UCLA's chances. 247sports.com/Player/Kris-Wi…

Jerry Meyer weighs in... Illinois Twitter fans are convinced. Lol

Albers has a story saying it would be shocking if Wilkes didn't pick Indiana....probably means it's UCLA.

Saw a random Instagram comment the other day from a kid claiming to be Kris' little brother. Said his mom liked Indiana better than the other places they visited. I'm not certain but I believe the kid is actually Kris' brother.
