Williams Blog: Big hoops recruiting weekend starts today

[State43]

Ha, Signed Dayton fans after Percy Gibson committed to ISU.

Seriously though, interpreting D F-S actions and all the rumor swirling this past 7 days, I do think the asst coach talked him into visiting Memphis on Saturday prior to committing ISU this past weekend. And if it wouldn’t be for the coach he’d be a Cyclone. (Once again no knowledge just reading the tea leaves.)

I think one thing we are fortunate about one thing, his mom said she didn't meet their team thus I got to assume the players were off campus. We know he met and hung out with our team and seemed to hit it off. Not surprising because I think we'd all agree that this crew is seems fun, relaxed and overall just good people. I'd have a hard time believing he wouldn't love to play alongside those guys.

In my experience Mom's look at surroundings, location, and prestige of a place to tell their friends about a kid. Players look at comfort with coach, perceived playing time, and who they are playing/rooming with. After all, 90% of their time will be spent with the team.

Not to mention, Memphis has another transfer target they are trying to get as well that I think they favor more with only 1 scholarship. I hope he just says, get the other guy, I am a cyclone! :wideeyed:

Hood is the best transfer this year. I guess I hope Memphis gets him.

MT says he could decide anytime - this week, this month, next month, etc.

So by the end of next week we will know about Finney-Smith. Nice.

Hopefully Thomas decides by then too.

Matt Thomas has decided to take 30 more visits and then not decide.

So the kid really likes the asst coach (not head coach) so much that he'll consider a completely new school because of him? How much can one asst coach really change a program?

Ask Kansas State.
