MU offers 2015 G Levan Alston

[River rat]

Yes. There are some that do. Some do not. I haven't see the kid play personally, but those who have seem to think that he is worthy of a scholarship, even without his younger brother. I trust their judgement.

Either way, I'm sure it was in the back of Wojo's mind when he extended the offer

I think it was clearly a calculated risk they felt was worth taking given the potential reward and the advantages they felt it coukd afford them.  Pretty simple imho

We made Mr. Alston's top 6. We are competing against:

Temple
VCU
Notre Dame
Penn State
Penn

That is a group of 5 that I don't mind competing against. Sic 'Em Wojo

We are hearing a lot about offers to wings like Cheatem.  Not one to other big men like Ellenson that I can find.

Take that for what it's worth.

Has Henry said when he will announce his decision?

Only that he will announce a final 5 or 6 some time in August.

I think Wojo has a very good feeling about Ellenson. But he has extended offers to Aaron Falzon and Josh Sharma. He is also still recruiting Diamond Stone.

Plan A is definitely Ellenson paired with some sort of wing. I think Cheatham would be Wojo's top choice.

Looks like a decision is coming on September 30. That probably means we are out of it.

probably but he comes from a good school that will have other prospects in coming years. Glad we made the finals it can only help down the road .

We probably don't need another 2015 shooting guard anymore, do we?  Cheatham! (and how!)

Haanif will be better anyways. Good luck Levan.

Oh, you can see into the future? Neat.

No just supportive and optimistic for my team!

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

To nobody's surprise, he committed to Temple today. Solid pickup for them. Wojo was on this kid early but immediately cooled as soon as Haanif put on that Warrior hat.

I know this has been talked about...
But does anyone think we would have signed the older Ellenson if we didn't legitimately think it'd help us with Henry?
Just my random thinking at 1 am.

MU needed him for the track team.

     To be Fair, we should wait and see what he contributes to the team, other than Henry’s commitment.
