Ellenson's visit to East Lansing
« on: September 23, 2014, 12:57:12 PM »
Any news on how that went? According to CBS Sports, it was last weekend. (I'm sure this was dissected in some other thread, but humor me.)

Not sure what you can glean from it other than he didn't commit to MSU on campus which is obviously a good sign for us.

Enjoy.

There is a brief bit about Ellenson half-way down. Not much we didn't already know, other than Swanigan doesn't look likely to commit soon, which means that Ellenson's spot isn't going to fill up in East Lansing any time soon.

He tweeted that he has a Great Visit.  We still offer the best package for him.  Hopefully he and the family will see it that way when it comes time for a decision.

Thank you, sir. "Great Visit." Doesn't get anymore vanilla than that. Excellent.

We got a rare tweet from Mike Hunt: https://twitter.com/MichaelHuntMJS/status/514074377885712384

Henry apparently played dodgeball with the MSU team: https://twitter.com/jesseobrien/status/514122191362080768

He also said it was a "great trip:" https://twitter.com/BTpowerhouse/status/513767631745474561

That's really all that's been said about Henry's trip. I feel comfortable saying that Kentucky is our biggest competition at this point. Honestly, I think they always were.

They're like the damn Yankees in baseball. This insidious virus that always threatens to thwart a top notch effort.

I would be surprised if a commitment to anyone came before his visit to Kentucky. It would be nice if after the MU visit he narrowed it down to two (Kentucky and ?). No need to string along both MSU and MU.

Yeah, but the Yankees haven't hurt anyone for years. John Calipari is Tony La Russa. Calipari's bitching about Coach K is the equivalent of "unwritten rules".

Henry has said he wants to make a decision before Rice Lake's hoops season starts.

Let us now divert this thread to where he will commit to. MU, MSU, or Calcheatucky.

My pick: Duke of the Midwest.

According to this, their first game is Dec. 12.

http://www.wissports.net/schedule/team_instance/924819?subseason=182849

As for where I read when he's making his decision, it was in an article I probably won't be able to find from earlier this year.

Also FWIW, Henry's dad has been retweeting MU and Wojo stuff, but nothing from Cal or Izzo.

In case anyone wants to follow or check out John Ellenson on twitter; https://twitter.com/jcellenson. You should remember though that one of his sons does currently go to Marquette.

I take the great visit thing with a grain of salt. Heck, I had a great visit at Illinois, probably my best college visit honestly but I chose marquette.  Many factors to consider.

And we thank you for that. I'll never forget your 40-point game, especially your winning trey at the buzzer!

Sources indicated that I was an Illinois lean at one point as well. Things change.

I was a UC Irvine lean until I saw the MU dorms and decided to verbal to MU at that point.

Still to this day they talk about that performance in the rec center.

Too lazy to look it up but didn't he visit Northwestern earlier this summer and say great things about them too (and maybe even "great visit") and then pretty much take them off his list?

I visited Irvine as well. Got my picture with the anteater statue.

I took the Nick Flory path. Committed as soon as I was old enough. Boston College attempted to get me to decommit. Even took an unofficial.
