whats the deal with Texas recruiting Midwest hard? Is he trying to recruit kids a little more like what he had coaching at a midmajor? IE players that are good but are more likely to stay 3-4 years.
****Official Class of 2021 Recruiting Thread****
- Thread starter LLCoolCY
- Start date
Just looked at their offer list on 24/7. The 3 commits are the players with rankings under .9000.
Texas will still suck. Shaka is Greg McDermott. Can coach up players and make good teams but is not big 12 worthy
I disagree. McDermott reinvented himself and has done a hell of a job at Creighton. Shaka is just a bum.
my point is shaka should move back down to a lower school like McDermott did. He could reinvent himself
No. Texas has always hit up the Mid West. They just happen to not be landing 4 and 5 Stars like normal in this cycle.
Damn.Joplin has popped for Shaka
“Class of 2021 power forward David Joplin has committed to Texas via his twitter.
He chose the Longhorns over Georgetown, Iowa State, Minnesota, Vanderbilt, and Butler, among others.“

I think Sallis is UNC bound because it sounds like that is the best fit for him. They are a transition team and that is his strength.
ISU not in Brandon Weston's top 6. An interesting final list.. believe he's an Illinois lean last I heard.
ISU does make this cut.

Recruiting notebook with ISU interests mentioned.

"Jordan Nesbitt is going to do a prep year this upcoming season before entering college, and had the summer been open, it seems that Nesbitt would be one of the more talked about wings in the class. He has the combination of size, skill and athleticism you would like in a wing, and he proved it at the Bradley Beal Elite Showcase this past weekend.
On the recruiting trail, it is going to be very tough for any school to get in with Nesbitt and get him away from home. Nesbitt has close ties with his family, and the Billikens are in a prime position to steal one away from power conference programs. If St. Louis does indeed continue their stranglehold on this recruitment, Nesbitt has the potential to be an all-league player and someone who makes a huge impact from day one.
2021 five-star prospect Hunter Sallis has gradually been becoming a bigger priority for some of the nation’s top programs. Now that Kennedy Chandler has made his commitment, expect that trend to continue gaining steam as other fellow five-star guard prospect, JD Davidson, is moving forward with his recruitment and cutting his list to six soon."

Initial thoughts of Tamar Bates final Seven announcement.
"On Aug. 28, four-star shooting guard Tamar Bates will leave Kansas City to spend his senior season at Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy. Before heading to IMG, though, the 6-foot-5 scorer decided to cut his list down and he’s got a final seven of Alabama, Creighton, Iowa State, Kansas, Missouri, Oregon and Texas. Initially, Bates had planned to wait until the spring to make his decision. I asked him if that is still the case?
“I want to sign in the early period in November, so (I’ll) look to commit before then,” said Bates.
Given that Bates is moving up his timeline and that the status of when he may or may not be able to take visits is up in the air, his early visits to Creighton, Kansas and Missouri have could be very helpful. The Jayhawks currently lead in Futurecast, but as I've written before, with Bates his recruitment is tough to read and he's not somebody that should be considered a lock for any one school over another."

Diarrhea. This sucks for us. I’ve got a feeling that Kentucky is going to end up with him with that late push they made.
ISU is in Sallis Top 12... top competition.
(In before the complainants about players releasing top 12 lists. Better to be in than out.)
Sallis told Rivals.com that he is now focused on a group of 12 that consists of Alabama, Auburn, Creighton, Gonzaga, Iowa State, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, Michigan, North Carolina, Oregon, and UCLA.

Based on that list it appears the only way we get him is he wants to be an instant alpha to get to the league ASAP possibility to the determent of the team. That may not be the case but after getting a huge team first guy like T Hunter I'd hate to take a chemistry killer.
