Suggs has listed 3 teams as frontrunners in his recruitment, ISU is still in the hunt. "So, we’ll see.”
"“I would say it’s between Gonzaga, Minnesota and Marquette,” said Suggs. “I think those are the three frontrunners. Those are the three schools that I’m closest with and have some of the best relationships with.”
However, Suggs isn’t quite ready to cut his list down just yet.
“There are some other ones involved,” he said. “Michigan is emerging. I’ve talked to coach Juwan Howard a lot lately. Iowa and Iowa State are still in the mix. They’ve been in my recruitment, pretty much ever since my seventh grade year. So, we’ll see.”

In other words, it's probably time to shift efforts elsewhere...
We've been grouped with Iowa for a phenomenal basketball player. Obviously, we're completely out of the race.
Well, on the surface yes but unless he officially eliminates ISU I don't think Prohm will stop recruiting him. He isn't going to back off and is technically in his top 6, especially after recruiting Suggs for over 2 years.
I would put Gonzaga as the favorite as of today but from his list it is pretty obvious he would like to stay in the midwest.
What a waste of a player in the WCC.
i believe the only reason we are still in the running (along with Iowa) is because we have offered both a Football and Basketball scholarship, and indicated both sports would be open to him doing that
Seems like a waste of time to recruit these top 20ish type guys.
I did see this weekend Tyrese tag in on his Instagram story while at Team USA tryouts. It's always nice to have a player connection.
I see them now as basically as grad transfers. I don't get to excited about them. I am happy we can snag some. However, I like guys ranked 50-75. Lot's of skill but usually need some development and will be around a few years. Don't get me wrong. If we could snag 5 top 20 kids. I would be all about it.
I figured we never had a serious shot with him, but that's an odd final 3 given his ranking.
He’s playing with Tyrese on team USA. If they hit it off we could move up his list
