I’m surprised Conditt’s grade didn’t change. He’s grown into being a better prospect imo
This may be a homer opinion but for THT I don’t really care where he ends up in the rankings, from watching all of his highlights and videos I personally think he is one of the best 50-75 players in his class. I obviously haven’t sat down and watch videos of every player but I just feel like it would be hard to find 75 more versatile do-it-all players in the class
According to rankings Morgan Park has higher ranked players and Simeon handled Morgan Park pretty easily.
Never seen this source before but they do a weekly player rankings for Chicago players (perhaps Zion's school doesn't qualify for what these rankings cover?). Anyways, they actually moved THT ahead of Ayo and have Conditt 4th.

Also, Conditt flirted with a triple double last night. Would of been the 3rd recruit to do so this week. Impressive versatility in Prohm's 2018 class.

Is Griffith not playing for a Chicago high school? Hard to believe he would have fallen out of the top five.
I can see THT and/or Griffith ending up with a 5* based on their play this season based on recent improvement. Can't imagine how many current high school players have the overall skills of THT. No sure how these rankings work, but Wigginton moved up to a 5* last year, though I think he started the season at a higher spot.
Griffin plays for Hinsdale South in Darien. Somebody can correct my if I'm wrong on this. but I don't think Hinsdale South is in the Chicago Public League like Simeon and Corliss are. I'm guessing this particular sites player rankings only factor in CPL schools.
I don't think either will end up a 5 star, but I do think THT's 247 ranking (currently #111) will end up closer to where he's at on rivals (#54). I'm not as certain Zion will rise all that much from where's at currently on 247 and rivals.
Hinsdale South is not in the Chicago Public School league. They are in the suburbs and play for the West Suburban Conference, IIRC.
Rivial list ISU as one of 7 programs that have major impact players on the way next year... Adding in that ISU is still battling for Tyler Harris. The smoke on TH isn't going away.

#3 Iowa State
The Cyclones are not a bad ball club, but unfortunately someone has to finish toward the bottom of the Big 12, which is the best league in America. There is a lot to like about the future at Iowa State, including the current talent of former five-star guard Lindell Wigginton and Cameron Lard, who provides an interior presence.
However, what could really change the fortunes of the program is enrolling its signed 2018 class tomorrow. While it remains in a fierce battle for four-star guard Tyler Harris this winter, ISU has a group that will bring versatility, toughness and the potential to become one of the best groups in school history.
Talen Horton-Tucker is one of the top movers in the recently updated Rivals150, and the multidimensional wing is on the fringe of earning five-star status. Zion Griffen, Tyrese Haliburton and George Conditt will join the top 35 senior at ISU, creating a group that should bolster the Cyclones' chances for a return to the NCAA Tournament.

Do we think that article is actually factual when it says "in a fierce battle for Harris"? Yes, I get that he has waited to sign on somewhere, but we wouldn't know if we have an opening until at least end of March or so and/or if its just truly a battle of which other schools he wants to attend.
I find myself asking the same question whenever I hear us brought up with Tyler Harris. But, it seems like every outlet seems to be playing the same tune. Whether that be because they haven't gotten any new info, and are going off of previous info. Or they have heard something and continue to hear that we are in on him with other people showing interest as well.
Either way, I think it is a positive that we are at least still in the fold with him, as it is always great to have another option or a plan if some attrition happens.
I don't think Rivals would be saying ISU was still in it without having some kind of source. I imagine ISU is still recruiting and talking to him in the event they have a spot open.
Believe he indicated in December the schools in the mix were Memphis, Xavier, Colorado State, Tennessee, and ISU... A couple other SEC schools are interested. I saw somewhere he might make an official visit to Tennessee but it doesn't seem like he's close to making a final decision any time soon. You would think he'd already be committed to Memphis if he wanted to go there.
Actually I think TH may have a school in mind and be close to a decision. His last interview I saw said Harris had some interest in new teams and was looking to take a visit to Tennessee but wasn't sure if he'd be taking a 5th visit.
Speculation on my part is if he was really interested in Tennessee that visit could have happened any time and not sure about taking a 5th OV indicate that he has a lean to me. It would make a lot of sense if it was ISU considering the relationship over the summer but he is waiting to see if a scholarship opens up.
If Tyler Harris told the Iowa State coaching staff he was ready to commit they would have made room for him at semester. There will be attrition after the year. Strange recruitment but the fact that we don't currently have an open scholarship truly is meaningless. If he wants to come to Iowa State we will have a spot for him.
We will have a spot if the coaches want him. He would probably already know this.
This is idle speculation but I wonder if there are eligibility issues with Harris and maybe some schools aren’t quite ready to take him yet making his choice complicated
I know we took Lard knowing he had some potential issues but we had more of a need for talent then and had more incentive to take chances.

Conditt’s senior clips on YouTube make it looks like he’s been improving at a nice rate. His jump shot looks quicker and he just looks more fluid, like he’s starting to grow into his height. He may be able to contribute next year if he keeps improving.
2 years ago ISU recruited Bowie in February and took his commitment knowing they’d have a spot open

Maybe prohm knows someone is leaving but doesn’t want to accept Harris’ commitment so it doesn’t serve as a distraction.
ISU has had at least 1 player transfer out of the program every year since 2004. I don’t anticipate 2018 being any different.
