Well it appears that Justin Smith has left Bloomington w/o committing.
A given, considering Wilkes is still on the board. Even if he wanted to commit, doubt Crean would have taken it.

I think we need to really focus on Kiir, and/or Epperson. FWIW..Can't help but like we have 67% CB for Kiir on 247. I know the drill. Don't let CB's gas you up!
Does he have a visit coming soon?

My guess is that Smith will wind up at Wisconsin.

That's an impressive get for Iowa, and it's bigger than what people think. More importantly, he's in Indiana's backyard. Castle is in Newburgh, which is not far from Evansville...just to the east. The area is a hotbed of basketball talent.
Nunge's style of play reminds me of Michael Finke's. A 6-10 big man who has inside and outside range. Needs to pack on muscle, but he will help spread the floor for Fran's offense. I'm curious if he'll redshirt like Finke just to strengthen, nonetheless, he's a great player.
Always good to see a player from the Tri-State area get recruited by a Big Ten school.
Or perhaps his safety school, Stanford. Nice one to have.
I thought that Stanford got a commitment from someone who plays his position, which is why I was predicting that Smith would wind up at Wisconsin.
I can't believe the lack of "buzz" both during and following the Wilkes visit. Should I assume that's a bad thing for our chances?
Kiir still needs to take the ACT/SAT before he can take an official visit. Look for that to happen within the next month or so. Then I think this recruitment will become much more dynamic. I don't see him waiting until spring.It depends on what you mean by "soon." He told me on Twitter those three words, "I'm visiting soon," but that was about 4 weeks ago now. Moreover, there is an article out there where he talks about being a spring signee.
Expecting Wilkes to commit to us on the first visit, especially when we are not considered the leader, is a bit unrealistic. We are not out of it but we remain a long shot at best.
Never mentioned expecting a commitment. Just found it odd that there has been little to no information about his recruitment beyond those speculating that we're a longshot.
