Nope...I'm actually in TX but saw it come up on my twitter feed...

speaking of which,
I guess Wojo and Coach Nelson visited him this week:

Jericho is a terrible defender. Looks like a brick wall but it usually falls apart in the end. Especially when guarding guys named Joshua.

I mean, in general I agree it's a pretty worthless tool. But Mark is pretty connected to MU recruiting.

Yes. If Mark says something to someone, I'm interested. If he clicks a button on 247sports.com for entertainment, I'm not.

The cristal bowel is a little marketing game for the website.

For people like Mark, participating dilutes their respect from some but increases their following by the masses, IMO.

(Not personal comment on him.. just an example and in general.. and I guarantee there are those who would confirm.)

Well if you believe Mark Miller and the Crystal Ball, MU recruiting for 2017 might be over.  French, Ike, and Theo John all to MU.  Three front court players for sure,
I assume John starts as a freshman at center or Heldt, and if Young does not make it her Ike or French would start at the the 4.  Then Carter, Rowsey or Howard
at the point, DWilson or Cheatham at the 2 and Hauser or Cheatham at the small forward.  Cohen outside playing time somewhere.

Young team the following year.

John is a 6'8" power forward.  I'm pretty sure Heldt will be a two year starter at center.

Careful with 'positions'.

More importantly, John is an interior guy, both O and D

I could easily see Young getting developed as a center at MU, so even with Young on board, Ike or French could start at the 4.  Their biggest obstacle to starting could be the four guard lineup option.

Exactly. I doubt Mark Miller believes the crystal ball (his own picks). He's playing a fun lil game.

Is his knowledge valuable? His insights meaningful? ABSOLUTELY. But his cristal bowel picks? No.

Ideally two would be best. Xavier has done well following this philosophy and obviously Wojo thinks it is a good idea or he would not have offered Ike  and some of the other bigs he is recruiting.

Detroit Jesuit won the Class A state title in Michigan. That is the real deal. Who do you think Cassius Winston was passing to?

Also my contacts have told me Ike is a very high quality young man.
