He unfortunately didn't fall under the two criteria required to be recruited by Fran:
A) Your dad played at Iowa, or
B) Your only other offers are Missouri Valley schools

because its so early. long time to keep him committed when (hopefully) he's just going to move up in the rankings.
if there is a guy who can keep him committed, it's TJ.
Dumb it all you want @CychiatricWard, but the last 5 star we had recently transferred because he couldn't get playing time. Yes, I realize that was an anomaly.
When it comes right down to it, though, I'd gladly take a 5 star or a 4 star, but I'd rather have a 4 star who's gonna play for us for at least a few years vs a 5 star who's likely to be one and done.
If you disagree, fine. Maybe explain your thoughts instead of hitting the dumb button.
The biggest difference in this recruitment is we all knew Omaha’s rating was more on potential and his offensive skills were a struggle even in high school
It's definitely a long time to keep a commitment. But I have a lot of trust in Otz, and honestly I'm not sure Otz would have accepted a commit this early if he thought that Harrington was likely to change his mind. Plus, the quote from Harrington doesn't sound to me like someone who would be looking for other opportunities.

I mean, I’m not a math major but 48 is greater than 42.Don't know anything about RPM predictions, but they had Iowa as the favorite to land him. That's gotta sting, Hawkeye fans.

I’ll hit the dumb button and explain my thoughts. Good recruits make good basketball teams. This notion that I want him to stay a 4-star ******** is the same as when people say I prefer to stay out of the rankings. The better players you get the better your team is, period. We have only had a handful of highly ranked players in our history, and of those, some haven’t worked out. So what! Go get the best players you can get. End of discussion.
The fact that he says he wants to stay home and rep the state bodes well for us when blue bloods come calling. And we all know Franny isn't stealing him.

That post is a bit much, geez...
Notice he has a picture of him in Hilton at the end of the video checking out the new scoreboard. It's already paying off.
Hilton Coliseum stands out more. CHA looks more like a giant toilet lid, plus you get the outhouse fragrence once you walk into the building.Notice he has a picture of him in Hilton at the end of the video checking out the new scoreboard. It's already paying off.
First, there’s no bad news to the commitment it’s great news. But I’m with @CoachHines3, I’m going to pump the brakes on my excitement a little.
The kid is a sophomore in high school and making a commitment on something that is 3 years away. I’m in my late 30’s and have trouble committing to something next weekend.
With the money being thrown around nowadays and the rapidly changing landscape of college athletics, I’d say it’s still probably 50/50 he gets here.

It's all a roller coaster now. Enjoy the ride. Don't fight it, go with it.
1. I'm seeing a beautiful massive solid modern structure.
2. I'm seeing a bird's eye view of a sewage treatment facility.
