Not breaking news or anything but sounds like Marquette is in the driver's seat for Henry Ellenson, whose brother goes there. UK, MSU in mix

Wonder if he just heard something to solidify this even more or why he'd tweet that now.

This picture was from his instagram.  It was posted last Monday. Very similar to a court picture from his MSU visit.

Sorry I quoted Zagoria's Tweet from about an hour ago saying that we are the leaders for Ellenson with MSU and Kentucky still in play.

[MayaSmart]

Gotcha.  My bad.

No mention of what flavor ice cream he had.

Or shoes, for that matter. To suggest disappointment would be a bit of understatement.

[Ellenson] mentioned that he really felt like he made a connection with the Marquette staff and that he now has a better idea of their vision for him and that being close to home is a bonus. The Michigan State visit gave him a chance to see campus for the first time and really get to see Tom Izzo and their staff in their element and now he's headed to Kentucky with open eyes and ears. He will decide in the fall and the chance to play all over the floor and player development will be huge factors.

Sounds like MSU is out. Barring anything drastic looks like he will end up in blue and gold.

Well if drake is at UK madness hopefully he tells Ellenson how awesome Haanif is.

That's still the weirdest thing to me.

Not too long ago MU would have had no chance due to the need to play someone of Henry's size at center.  With Luke here and with Matt coming in with Henry's class that shouldn't be a worry.  The problem with competing with Kentucky is what other school can realistically say to a top recruit who happens to be 6'10" 230 lbs; "Hey, no problem, we can play you at the three."

I also don't see how MU could be in this race without Wojo and his big man development experience at Duke and USA Basketball experience.  So, I guess Mrs. Smart did us a favor in the long run.

What's weird is that he won't tell how he knows drake.

Known each other for a couple years, though

It's difficult to keep up with his teams.

There has to be a family connection somewhere.

This is an excellent point.

They would look sharp if they offered these pants for Marquette.
