I have zero connections in recruiting…except with this one. That’s really where he wanted to go all along but the Juwan uncertainty opened up his recruitment. He liked IL but we were a long shot. Georgetown was really the team to beat.

My head is spinning with all these potential recruits. It seems like Pearson is priority. How tall is he actually?

Too early to tell where Miikka ends up … He’s taken quite a few OVs already but we aren’t going to get a visit … Think he’s been or is going to Arkansas, Utah, Michigan and Duke … Duke & Arkansas both think they’re out front …

Mitchell is the #1 priority regardless of class … Brad wants that thing locked down yesterday … They’re all in on that one …

Has he been receptive to jumping on board early?

Mitchell played his 6 & 7th grade years at Olney before moving to Evansville

That's alot of made 3s in that clip from a guy that supposedly can't shoot it

point taken, but this is a highlight clip and sample size, sample size, sample size. the issue with Lee isn't that he can't shoot, it's that he's inconsistent and possibly takes some ill advised shots. the latter is pretty easily correctable.

he looks good and it's clear why we took him. his pedigree is nearly as good as it gets (doesn't work out always, but that's a positive attribute)
