I don’t think the 31st really means anything other than it’s an arbitrary date one week after his last visit. Gives him a week to think about things and go thru pros and cons, etc. Fingers crossed, though.

Committed to Iowa. Wasn’t expecting that at all. At least not this soon.

Still no offer, but there at least seems to be some mutual interest. I’m told UCF Coach Johnny Dawkins was in to see him within the last couple weeks. And he will be going on an official visit to UCF sometime this month. UCF and Cincinnati will be joining the Big 12 either this year or next.

JQ is extremely athletic, but maybe not as skilled as he needs to be. Of course, you can’t teach athleticism, and skills can be learned. Wouldn’t be at all surprised if he eventually gets an offer, especially being from Bloomington.

He was at Hoosier Hysteria, so that would be his third unofficial. Seems like he’s very interested.

Interesting

I read somewhere (I think it was Rivals) that he was ‘ill’ and did not go to Alabama.

You hit the nail on the head there. He’s not better than Fears and maybe Booker, but it would be a challenge to say anybody else in-state is better.

A few different scouting services/media outlets have him 4th in the state. Haven’t seen him lower than 5th this year. I don’t believe he’s ranked on Rivals. Of course, rankings mean nothing, but I find it fun.

My opinion, Hart is better now. But yes, Orme could blow up.

Committed to Duke.

I think he’ll be fine. I’ve seen him play recently and I think more HM offers will be coming in. As others have said, it’s still early, especially for a kid who maybe hasn’t received as much hype as others (yet). The thing about the MVC school having ‘questions’ blows my mind. I would think most low to mid mid-majors would be inclined not to bother. Of course, all this stuff is just opinions and guesses. We will just have to see what happens.

I’ve been hearing his stock has gone down a little recently. I know he’s been injured and still trying to play, so that may have something to do with it.

That doesn’t sound good.

Wow. First I’ve heard anything like that . . . from anybody. At least in the last year or so.
