At Purdue for the game today.

Doesn’t really seem like a Purdue guy to me. Think it comes down to IU or Butler unless Kentucky/Duke/UNC etc. get involved.

 

I saw him at the ND game today and said it’s great here but nothing like Hinkle he had a big smile and agreed. ND had a terrible crowd today so wasn’t much of an atmosphere for him

BUMP...

The more I think about all the guys we are after, realistic guys unlike what has been pressed upon us the last couple weeks, I think we have a very good crack here. The other state schools all are showing big time flaws and concerns, and although we lost the other night, we are the best program now and going forward in the state. I hope he is looking for the best fit and best opportunity to dance every March. If so, it's us. Out of all 2021, he is my biggest want. I love some of the other names, but this one would be a huge get.

 

I know I'm guilty of thinking he is unlikley to end up a Butler. That said I would love it if he did.

 

I’ve got an ND hunch here.

Seems like his mom wants to keep him close to home but it’s not like Indy is that far from South Bend... maybe he wants to get out of town and do his own thing too who knows. Gotta like how Butler (and Vall) are trending vs. all the other state schools and their coaches.

Wesley is easily my biggest want for this class.

Texas offer. Doubt they become a player though.
I think this is really down to ND and Butler.

Texas seems like a tough sell right now with the state of Shaka’s tenure.

Obviously a Notre Dame slanted article but has some good info and quotes.

 

Wesley and SB Riley fell to 6-7 on the season after dropping a 56-40 tilt with Culver Academy.

 

#90 in updated Rivals rankings.

 

SB Riley lost in OT to SB Washington. Record stands at 10-8.

 

Going to get to watch this kid again this week. His team is not good and every team has one goal. Stop Blake... I could see him playing at laulamuire (not correct spelling) next year for sure. Only reason for him to come back is I think his mom is on the school board. I think him playing there would help a lot, all he does now is dribble down and shoot just about every possession. Would do him good to play against and with very good talent IMO. Really like this kid though, a much better version of Demzi Anderson who came out of Riley a couple years ago and rides the pine at IU.

 

No Butler mention. Dayton and Louisville getting involved.

Watched Wesley last night. Had an off night and got bothered by a 5/10 kid most of the night. Saying that, I believe it was just an off night plus his team is terrible.
He is super long and super athletic. Can get his shot off anytime he wants. The other teams coach kept yelling to take a charge but he was so shifty, once he got into the lane there was no chance.
My only real complaint was he trashed talked that 5/10 kid all night. I like talking but he should have 40 on that team and I think he ended with around 13-15 with like 4 FT’s.
Painter was there and couldn’t get tho Riley’s locker room quick enough after the game.
