Another one of Manute's kids, I'm assuming?

Can't find anything to confirm. Wikipedia says he had 10 kids (6 from 1st marriage and 4 from 2nd), but other places say he had 5. None show the name John Bol but also none list all 10 names.

Luke Brown walks on to Purdue, Braden Smith decommits, grown men everywhere lose their mind. 

@FKIM01 is going to love you for this...

maybe we can reconsider locking threads after commitments to other schools?

He is transferring to smaller school to be the man and break the scoring record 

He's going back to Blackford for another year due to covid.

All I know if that I'm with Bobby on this one...I'm sick and f%$#!%$@g tired of losing to Turdue.

 

I keep applying a line from this legendary speech as CMW's motto (paraphrasing):

"I'm not here to f*** around, now you maybe, but I'm not."

No doubt!! But look even at a guy look Julius Randle. If that guy can improve his game (even still as limited as it is) to the point he has then if there is a chance Trayce could (although with a lot of work and a lot of time) would possibly be his goal. But yes...even at worst he can be kind of a smaller 5 (as there are fewer and fewer true centers in the league) and give you energy and a guy that can run the court.

Anybody know who was an assistant coach when Randle made his jump?

Unique offer list for this kid.

MSU offered. Wonder what connection Fife had while there?

Our very own The Daily Hoosier does a good job keeping things updated on the recruiting front.

Thanks. I find this to be more of what I was looking for...(updated 8/24)

Really outdated. Has AJ Casey as High Choice and we weren't in his top 8 while having JHS as Scout Look (along with Clowney) even after showing his commitment.

Anyone know of a better/up to date list of targets?

Can't go wrong with him and/or Clowney. Woody and crew doing quality work.

Lots of updates needed. Big one today. Welcome JHS!

Love it! Welcome Jalen and congrats to the IU coaching staff. #5 class in the nation !!!!

I'm ok if #5 gets changed to #6.

If Clowney joins this class, I'll run around my house naked three times. 

So we don't want him to commit now, I'm confused...

If that becomes our 4 man class I may shave the logo into my chest hair. 

Mike Woodson says you should shave Mike Woodson's likeness instead.

VIdeo of the commitment? Probably not up and running yet. 

Video from CBS HQ where the commitment is going to be announced. It should be running some other video until the commitment. Had to turn off my ad-blocker in case anyone else has/had this issue.

NM: Had to turn off ad-blocker

I can't get the CBS sports hq site to show video. Anyone else?

IU and VaTech seem to be the two standouts from the comments. Bama sounds like he's trying to justify them being in his top 4/getting an OV. FL doesn't sound good at all, but they do get to make their pitch on his OV.

Sounds like we're sitting pretty well with him, but VaTech and Bama getting the visits after ours is a bit troubling.

Can you imagine, your first week or so on campus.  You gather with other freshman to put chairs in trees and chant f IU.  What a bunch of pathetic losers.

...and that is why they are, and will always be little brother. Turdue didn't cross my mind my freshman year until we played them in football.
