But if you notice in Chris's article he said something like "he wanted to see what kind of player would be running the point for the next few years", which made me think it wasn't a one year guy.

Jared's guess was 75% on the live podcast. Yeah, that's a number that only represents how good he feels about the situation, but I'll take a larger number as a positive thing.
Yeah I noticed that too. Its definitely not a grad transfer. My guess is maybe Morrow?
He doesn't want to start beef with his inside sources, but I wish we knew too
I'm sure they do. I noticed under Rothstein's tweet today about Brown's visit with us, a poster asked him why he didn't mention Coach Few meeting with Brown's dad at a Warrior's practice. Tell me that isn't an advantage.
That's an interesting thought on Alstork. I was thinking maybe Morrow, since I think that big men are more reliant on guard's games than guards are to other guards. Also, being from Chicago, surely he has handlers.
Uh....don't they all have handlers, of some type?
Exactly. A "handler" could be simply a current or former coach (JUCO, AAU, HS) that the player trusts for advice and to evaluate a PG's game. I wouldn't get too hung up on CW's word choice at this point.
Ideally, we don't bank a scholarship because I think Juiston, Morrow, Brooks and Brown are all high quality players/recruits. That said, our banking 1 scholarship isn't a bad thing based on the HS seniors we are recruiting.
IMO the staff would like a minimum of 3 scholarships for next fall. A fall class of Green (pg), Thompson (pf), Moss, Etc. (wing) could be special. They may still get that with a 4 person spring class with 1 grad transfer. Does Long transfer? Does Kosango move on if he doesn't play 10+mpg next season?
I think this staff looks 2-3 years ahead with recruiting.
Would love to hear CW thoughts on Alstork. I'm not sure if he is at liberty to share at the moment. He also mentioned how intrigued Prohm was by Shayok after his visit in an article a couple weeks back but didn't elaborate. Wouldn't mind hearing more there as well. It sounds like Prohm is extremely high on him.
CW coming away from the weekend makes me curious which of Edward and Shayok Prohm preferred? Like you said CW mentioning how impressed he was after meeting with Shayok and both committing on the same day leads me to think ISU may have had a choice and leaned to Shayok. I wouldn't be surprised if Edwards was aware or Marial's plan to commit to ISU when he chose the Tigers. I do think the staff liked and would have taken both but due to the position numbers it really didn't make sense.
Yeah I agree. Id imagine Prohm was honest with Edwards with his plans to go hard after Shayok and a 5th year grad transfer as well. If we end up landing Brown or Alstork for 2017 and Shayok waiting in the wings for 2018 Edwards likely would have earned spot minutes at best. I don't think that fact was lost on him.
Edwards had someone close to him that was trying to turn his recruitment into a job. When we found that out around the time of his visit we said thanks but no thanks.
If true, makes sense he landed in the SEC.
