RECRUITING: A few notes on 2018 PG Tyler Harris
- Thread starter ChrisMWilliams
- Start date
Spending his own money to come here is a clear sign of interest as opposed to being wined and dined on ISU's dime. You don't spend that kind of money without genuine interest. many players don't even use all their officials.
Spending his own money and time in the summer to visit is not a small thing. I don't think you can do officials at this time of year, so if I am correct, Latino's visit was on an unofficial.
You worry/freak out about many things. This is something to be happy about. Would you rather he not visit us this summer and go to some other schools, fall in love, and then never do a visit (official or not) here?
The extended unofficial trip, to me, is a very good sign. Based on nothing more than my opinion, I wouldn't be surprised if by this time next week he's committed to us. I'd guess that he wants to use his official for a big Saturday game. That's what I'd do anyway.
I also have a really good feeling about his visit this weekend. It seems like things have really ramped up with Tyler in the past few weeks
I most definitely am not, I'm just aware of how much a disadvantage that puts you at, and I dont even play again B12 size.
But I guess if he's 4* with those offers he makes up for it.
I'm guessing that he's being pitched that he'd be a near lock to start alongside Wigginton next season. The kid is a fantastic shooter and his perimeter game will be much needed.
IDK if Prohm guarantee's playing time, but I do think that he has been really pitching him hard on getting the most out of his abilities and getting him to the next level.
I believe the Cam Payne connection has really spurred things in the right direction for us, but I may be getting ahead of myself.
I think if there is one thing that we won't have to worry about, it is Prohm being legitimately in on top-tier PGs almost every season.
The length of the visit is eyebrow raising. Almost all unofficial visits are day trips or an overnight at most. Tyler is coming Friday - Sunday which means he's paying for travel, two nights hotel, all his meals, etc.
I'm not saying the kid is going to commit to ISU this weekend but to make that kind of financial decision to check out ISU tells me that him and his family are very interested.
Oh, I don't know, and didn't mean to disprove/disagree with your point. I just thought I remember hearing Prohm say he doesn't guarantee playing time, that every person has to come in and still prove it, even Lindell. Although, I know most coaches probably just say that more than anything
I don't think Prohm would say commit to us and start from day 1, but I do think that he's telling him that he has a very good chance to come in and play early/right away.
I would imagine the only for sure starters we have this year are Jackson, Wigginton, and Young. Same deal next year -- just swap Jackson for Shayok.
After that, I doubt even the coaching staff knows until after fall practice.
Well if they are driving it makes sense because you really wont get to do much on Friday. If his family is good money wise a two night stay somewhere really isn't that big of deal.
I think there is a good chance he commits. I just don't automatically think the length or that he is paying things automatically means he is more likely to commit.
