Not sure if this was mentioned, but MU offered King on his visit yesterday. Kid's stock has skyrocketed of late. Believe he is top 40 in Scout rankings. Don't know anything about him but I like that we're prioritizing the state of WI.
His dad played at Wake Forest but you'll probably be more familiar with his uncle Jimmy. Yes, Fab 5 at Michigan Jimmy King.
Jimmy King's cousin is Joseph Fulce.
Does Mark Miller currently have him heading to UW? Does that change with Bo's departure?

Yes and maybe
80% CB for Badgers after they offered King last night
Mark Miller predicted to Wisconsin this morning.
With King getting the offer and leaning to Wisconsin this is more evidence to the presupposition that Gard is truly the one handling things in Madison and will do so for the next four years.

There seems to be some belief that Bo will not retire at the end of the season. It appears as if Gard may not get the job so Bo will be a bitch and stay on. Lets see how this plays out. Might be Favre/Packer like.

Now that twist in the story would make for some great dramatics.
Hmm, MU's chance at beating them has always been our superior guard play. Not happy if they land a great guard.

It won't be that dramatic. He is under contract until 2020. If he decides to come back, he will simply announce that he's changed his mind.

MU can't get them all. Long way to go for '17 prospects.

If Barry is good with him staying. These are two guys with a huge ego and I don't believe they care for each other all that much. Also lets not pretend that Bo changing his mind would not be used against him in recruiting. Lets see how this plays out.

Barry doesn't have much choice. Unless he submitted his formal retirement, Bo is under contract. I agree that it can be used against him in recruiting.
Committed to Wisconsin tonight
