Thoughts with you and your brother most importantly!
Thread was deleted, nothing certain. Lots of speculation which likely led to it being deleted.
I don't know if your brother is a big ISU fan at all, but ISU is awesome at helping out in these situations. If you have a football or basketball you want signed for your brother, they have been more than willing to get signatures in my past experiences with my sister and a close friend in a similar situation.
Peace to both of you.

He's a huge clone fan, thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. He's positive and determined to beat it however I don't think he's to a point he'd accept that type of generosity.

I don't even want to think of Harris going to Baylor.

He'd be a nightmare.

Noted in Bossi's Starting 5 Rivals150 guard Isaac Likekele has requested his LOI from Fresno State and multiple B12 teams are interested if granted. He is from Texas so I would assume the local schools will contact him but adding a 6'5" combo guard would be a nice way to add to the class if there is mutual interest.

Would be an interesting addition to a class that already has a 6'5 PG, a 6'5 CG, and a 6'6 G/F.

How does this guy end up at Fresno St.?

Usually there they are late rising recruits that built relationships with the lower tiered coached and commit early. Devante Graham had a similar path his senior year, committed to App. State before requesting a spring release and going to KU.

True.

His profile shows he only had offers from Fresno St, Central Michigan & Cal-Poly.

Graham at least had some high major offers other than KU (NC St, Virginia, Providence, Virginia Tech, Xavier).

Maybe they'll start flying in for Likekele.

No. Actually, it's not.

Even without Wichita State any longer, the MVC is actually better according to the KenPom rankings; 9th out of 32 conferences so far. Last year they were 10th.

They have Loyola who is 36th in his ratings and then nobody until 121 in 2018.

In 2017, they had WSU at #8, ISU(r) at 49, Loyola at 97. To me that's a better conference.

Was just about to post this. Memphis going hard after THT and the LOI w/ ISU seems not to bother team Penny. He is not a college coach yet so his contact w/ THT is not limited at this time (for 24 more hours at least)

Until told not to worry, this is enough places that I think it is a legit concern

Is recruiting a player who has signed a LOI considered tampering?

Penny would have had to do his work prior to signing at Memphis. If he still recruits him. It's a violation. Which nothing will be done about of course.

Technically, he is not a college coach yet but he is a Memphis alum and I would think that at best it is shady and at worst, illegal.

If you follow the history of Memphis hoops, that has never been a problem as they have never been in the national discussion UNLESS they were cheating like the dickens.
