One plus in our favor is we will be able to offer LOTS of playing time!

Thon Maker would be cool too I guess.

Thon and Spalding would be a dream combo.  Throw in any of the guards we are after and consider me happy.  Whitt/Shake/JC.

 

Don't want to totally lose track of Swanigan either.

really great article from ITH.

"The fact that Crean was in attendance for Spalding’s first two games, the only head coach in his top three schools to earn that distinction, wasn’t lost on the rising senior."

“It really tells a lot about him and his program,” Spalding told Inside the Hall. “He takes basketball to heart over there. He’s a great coach. For him to come to my games, the head coach, the head guy, that means a lot. I talk to coach Crean every day. He’s becoming one of my best friends. We talk every day about basketball and our families in general. He’s a great guy, great coach.”

2015 Ray Spalding will narrow list down next month. Florida and Duke beginning to show greater levels of interest

 

 

Well....who knows. I tend to believe the former source on this one, at least.

[Hovadipo 62,467]

This will really suck. Felt good about him.

So basically, this is going to end just like the dozens and dozens of other players Crean has recruited over the past 12-16 months: Crean gets in first, player shows strong interest, narrows list down to two or three schools with IU among them, then he starts favoring one of the other two and/or other programs arrive late to the party and said recruit inevitably chooses someone else. 

 

 

I remember when we landed Yogi, Hanner and Cody all within like 3 weeks. Those were the days...

Feed the post Tommy!

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Until the words come of the kid's mouth, it's uncertain where he will go.

This may help you. Unanimous to UL. I trust a few of these names. Could they be wrong? Possibly, but it doesn't look good for us. I thought their loaded front court could have an impact. Maybe not.

The Crystalball also has a knack for swinging back and forth prior to the actual announcement. UL being his hometown team worries me though. We will see

Yeah, it was unanimous Blackmon to UK then switched the day of his announcement.  They updated the system though and IIRC picks lock a certain amount of time prior now.

The last update they made definitely made it more reliable.

Ray Spalding said U of L has been his leader since he got an offer a month ago. "It's the hometown. http://www.courier-journal.com/story/sports/recruiting/louisville/2014/07/19/raymond-spalding-deciding-soon/12882387/

What an utter waste of time from our staff. We treated him like priority #1 and we don't appear to even be close. Our recruiting has been abysmal as of late.

I was/am hoping Chuck Martin can redirect the train, but my goodness, nothing has boosted my confidence yet.
