[Alford Bailey 12,384]

My bad. He did cancel a later visit which was what I was thinking about.

Hoosier hysteria. Was supposed to come with other Huntington prep kids but they were sick or had tests or something

[Miller'sTheMan 1,652]

If that paragraph about what he was looking for is anything to go by, he should come here! We can offer him that, and if we can get everyone to return which seems like a very good chance at this point, I believe with him we can have another realistic shot at banner #6.

Guys guys...

Maybe Alford meant Thon. Thon hasn't visited us.

not on an official

There is a snippet from an interview with Bryant where it says that Indiana and Missouri are his top two, but still considering Kentucky.Its going to be interesting with him. Especially since it seems like every report we are hearing has different schools being the most interested, etc.

The Advocate Messenger: Center Thomas Bryant insists he has interest in UK despite what mother says

 

Indiana and Missouri, where former Huntington Prep coach Rob Fulford is now an assistant coach, are his other top schools even though he insists there is no leader.

"I have not heard from others, just basically them," he said of his top four schools.

"Me and Rob had a great relationship when he was here last year. Me and him always got along," Bryant said.

Still, his mother wants him to go to Syracuse.

"Me and my mom always talk about that and keep that between us," he said. "The decision is mine."

With her approval?

"Sure," he said.

This is just like when Announcers give you "facts" about games or rivalries.

"You know, the Hoosiers have never lost to Purdue in the month of January when Tom Crean wears a blue tie and they make 12 or more threes"

OK---I have to ask----what is the deal with Crean's blue shirts and blue ties that he wears during the games?

 

Joani---get him some IU Crimson!

 

Unless-----Bryant and Maker like blue----then carry on! :biggrin:
 

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

If true---- I don't like hearing about multiple unofficial visits to UK by Bryant.

 

But---- we have to keep recruiting---it's never over until it's over!

 

We pull in a stud big and we are off to the races!

[TomPritchard25 526]

I imagine he'$ getting help to attend UK'$ games, unofficially.

I wonder if it's Thomas Bryant or Thoma$ bryant?

Kid seems to have a good head on his shoulders and a mom who just wants him to be somewhere that will build his character as well. I don't know that he'd jump at improper benefits, or that his mom would be alright with it, based on their previous quotes.

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Let's hope Bryant is on the up and up!

 

I keep checking this thread waiting for a shred of good news!

 

Still waiting.

[bnkepner 1,509]

Well I think the good news is that he still considers us one of his top two no matter what other schools are involved

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

I would feel better with news of a surprise unofficial visit to IU in the next few weeks.

[bleedhoosier 3,627]

I'm with reb.. shouldn't we be getting some visits like UK is?

[HoosierTrav 7,886]

I think its hilarious that his mother is "worried" about drugs and wants his son to attend Syracuse. She thinks that Indiana lied about Drug use? Has Boeheim told her that the NCAA is currently investigating his program for RAMPANT drug use and the lack of discipline for players who have failed MORE THAN 4 DRUG TESTS IN A SINGLE SEASON? Has she even looked at APR scores between the 2? Not only is her son going to be exposed to a forest of chronic at Syracuse, he's also not going to be forced to learn anything other than a 2-3 zone.

She just probably wants him close to home like most mothers do. in the end it will be his decision. If he is a smart kid he will see he benefits of playing for IU.

That's the most likely explanation for her trivial statements but there's nothing noble about hypocrisy.

[drewheck 749]

. It would be nice. Quite frankly, Lexington is close to Huntington only two hours on I-64. Don't read to much into those visits.

exactly what I was thinking

[Kyleweberiu 386]

It's a shame Bryant wasn't their tonight. Would have been a good night for a visit

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

I hope Bryant was watching that one on TV!

[hoosierpap 14,300]

I hope Bryant was watching that one on TV!

I think he's watching very closely. And winning seems to be very important to IU's position
