Cross Tre Mann off the list. No way he picks ISU over UNC. I know we have won some great recruiting battles over the last couple years but none on them involved UNC. We can beat out a Kansas or Xavier or Oregon from time to time but they're not UNC, especially if/when they put Michael Jordan in front of him at an official visit.
Prohm isn't going to quit recruiting him just due to an UNC offer. Granted it hurt ISU's chances, with many believing Tre reopened his list to get the UNC offer, but a lot can happen over the next few months including UNC getting a different PG or Tre just liking what ISU has to offer.
I am sure Kane's relationship will come into play, and if he feels that ISU will no longer be an option due to his talking to Mann the staff could back off at any time if they don't feel like a realistic option.
Remember last time this year THT got the Mich St. offer many thought he was desiring and would commit on the spot.
That might be a little dramatic. They already have a PG commit too
True. Mann was ready to close his recruitment and if he was waiting for the UNC offer I imagine he'll commit soon and take that spot before someone else does.
Yeah, it certainly hurts our chances. But just because they offered doesn't mean he is their main target. I'm sure there will be more to come out about this offer in the coming weeks. I'm not 100% out on Mann possibly coming here, but the chance is certainly dwindling a bit haha
We can't beat UNC for a recruit, we can only beat them in games for a trip to the Sweet 16.
Their offers out for 2019 according to 247.

FWIW Verbal Commits has UNC with 2 guards committed in 2018 (Rechon Black 4* Coby White 4*) plus 1 in in 2019 (Jeremiah Francis 4*) who would be with Mann. They lose Berry (Sr) and have no one currently committed at PG in between. They only have 2 other scholarships open for 2019 and have 9 offers out all to SF/PF. Looks like Roy wants to lock up forwards with those last two which would explain holding off an offer to Mann up to this point.

If Mann wants to buy the snake oil and feigned innocence of dadgum Ol' Roy and UNC, I don't want him. Well, I probably still do but at least I'll have a reasonable excuse to hold a grudge if he doesn't come to ISU.
Bossi note on Diante Smith's recent de-commit from Bama that it was mutual from both sides. Bama has already filled his spot and looking at higher rated players. Sounds to me like it is possible they told him they were looking at other options and recruiting over him. Changes the perspective on Diante's decision a bit.

"The decommitment of Diante Smith was more of a mutual agreement that should end up being beneficial for each side. So I would not look at it as Smith not being good enough. He is a Rivals150 member that has a boatload of potential on the wing, thanks to his size, versatility and scoring ability.
That being said, Alabama did add to its perimeter core upon the pledge of four-star small forward Juwan Gary. This past week in Las Vegas, following the break-up between the Tide and Smith, Alabama's staff heavily attended the games of Rivals150 wing Jaylen Forbes. There is thought that Forbes is now the No. 1 target on Avery Johnson’s board at the wing position.
Forbes is someone that has somehow flown under the radar despite producing at a strong rate on the Nike EYBL circuit this spring and summer. His recruitment is littered with respectable programs including UAB, Kansas State and Ole Miss but if a program of the Tide’s caliber comes calling, Forbes is more than likely to give them a hard look.
Alabama has put a ton of time and attention into the recruitment of top-30 guard Kira Lewis and five-star forward Trendon Watford, the top in-state prospects in the 2019 class. Jaden Shackelford, one of the top shooters in the 2019 class, told Rivals.com on Sunday that Alabama placed its first phone call to him, so he's just another player to keep tabs on as the early signing period approaches."
