(2017) PF Billy Preston to Kansas

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,054]

As many have stated this is reminiscent of other Crean victories Vonleh and even to a degree Bryant.  Hopefully he watched Cujo, Morgan, Rojo and Davis on Friday and thought that they would make a great supporting cast.  And then watched Bryant and thought, I can do that. 

Also reminiscent of Isaiah Whitehead when Blackmon decommitted. Blackmon came back in fold and no Whitehead.

No one else taking Prestons spot. I feel unusually optimistic here. Idk. Kansas is tough to beat.

Agreed but I think that game really illustrated how bad Kansas is with big men.  Hopefully that helps us.

Come on Preston---come join the fun and be part of a team with a high octane offense and great player development!

I am usually pessimistic about our ability to land 5 stars----but I am actually a little optimistic here. Just seems like the stars might be aligning for us for a change. That Kansas win that he watched may have been just enough to tilt him our way.  That's my hope!

What a coincidence that after a 5 Star forward commits to a school not named IU. Another 5 star forward sets his decision date for within a week. Just a little glimmer of optimism to brighten your hopes.

Assuming you are referring to Wilkes here?

Geez... Preston was watching the game with our bigs playing with the ball and dominating, and KU's bigs all but invisible.

That's gotta help, right?

You'd think.

That and our 5 shot 5 3 pointers and our 4 shot 7 3s.

And Bilas talking how fun our system is as well as how good our player development is.

Yeah, and then the fact that Preston watched our game against another school he is considering and sets his announcement for a week.

This recruitment seems like a toss with no team feeling too confident

Everyone is talking about us and Kansas but what about USC? Good chance he may go there also

Everyone on this board might be talking about iu and Kansas but there are plenty of recruiting services that has USC and Kansas as the 2 favorites

Handicapping it:

40% KU

30% USC

20% IU

10% Cuse

Of course, Billy Preston is already up to 100% for one of those teams. Watch for a crystal ball steep trend line soon. That oughta make it all but clear before it's official.

[Stuhoo 79,850]

A new KU pick just came in on the 247 grid. No bueno, but not a trend yet.

Sounds like he and his family made the decision this weekend. If it doesn't leak soon he could be the rare recruit that we actually find out at his announcement.

The guy that picked us last week just switched to Kansas.

Here comes the landslide?

[Alford Bailey 12,360]

This one was a long shot at best. West coast kid with the hometown school recruiting him plus Kansas who does well on the west coast.

[IUsince1980 315]

Didn't think it be us. Usually isn't.
