Yes, it is. But speculation usually begins with “I wonder if...” or some variation thereof.

This is not a journalism seminar or English class. It is a message board.

It has been well chronicled in numerous publications that Nimari and his family have known Juwan Howard since 3rd grade. Hence, I believe The University of Michigan to be the leader based on the fact that there is a long standing relationship where trust has been built among the parties. This does not mean that Michigan has won or that MU can't win. Just means every other school involved in the top 12 of this young mans recruitment has a big obstacle to climb to be successful It is not really going out on a limb to make this kind of statement given the fact pattern.

Key words right here. If you omit them, it makes it seem like you are trying to claim inside knowledge....when all you have is the same articles all of us have been reading.

Speaking of, has anyone heard anything about Osa's visit? Is there a post-op anywhere?

That’s a unique Final 5. Two schools embroiled in NCAA issues in Arizona (a sort of blue blood) and USC. A school in Tech who has unearthed some underrated gems. San Diego State, the hometown team and the midwestern outlier in Marquette.

And Arizona money.

Seriously, how does any kid turn down the weather and money from Arizona?

Tucson sucks and the weather is great much of the year but sucks in the Summer

I say this as a brother of a UA alum and uncle to two others, one currently a senior.

Yep, not a fan of Tucson myself but the weather during the school year, very "manageable" academics especially for athletes, weak basketball competition in conference and six figure payouts are tough to turn down.

Sean Miller has it easy recruiting and his result prove it. The UA alum I know love his recruiting but are no fans of the on the court product.

You may know better but I get the feeling there will not be much outrage when Miller goes.

Cooley &Company has 5 spots opening and is offering playing time etc. That is pretty much what MU is offering. Both schools setting goals high. I think that is actually beneficial to us having another Big East school in the mix in top recruits. Kids talk to each other.

So now kids are no longer saying, "Wouldn't it be sweet to play together in college?" it's now, "you should go to Providence and I'll go to Marquette so we can square off 2-3 times a year in the Big East!"

Not buying it.

Also... https://247sports.com/college/providence/Board/Friar-Talk-102629/ which I'm sure multiple of PCFINY, gusganakas, and Herman Cain have already posted in.

Not saying that at all. Just saying that it is good that Big East is chasing top tier prospects. Word gets around.

I'll never forget the thread on another board where he was logging into his different names and agreeing with himself, saying his "alternative signons" had heard similar things.
