So okay strotty.  Which two sign in the end?  No money at stake with your prediction so you're free to be wrong.  I'll venture a guess of Miller and Shayok. 

Of course I know nothing from the inside but I have met Buzz so I got dat going for me.

I did not realize that Craig is Canadian.  I knew Shayok was and wonder if a Shayok commitment would have an influence on Craig or vice versa.

Are you implying that all Canadiens know each other?

They have played together.

They have played together.

Is MU going to oversign, it sure is going to be interesting, first come, first serve.

I doubt MU will oversign.  I think it will be one of the bigs mentioned and either Hill, Cassell or Shayok.

Since Hill and Cassell are both involved with Missouri, it looks like MU will get one and Missouri will get one, see if that plays out.

That's got to be a good sign for him to cancel his planned trip to IU on the same day he met with Buzz.

Ahmed Hill @MedHill_14
Had a great visit with coach buzz!!

Been to Missouri, it is in the middle of nowhere in a nowhere town, can not see it.

I think it will depend on whether Buzz is getting any vibrations that a player is leaving.

Is he referring to the Warriors?

[bilsu]

Whitehead is suppose to announce his decision tomorrow, which might mean he is going to Indiana. Johnson another guard Indiana is recruiting is also close to making a decision.

[MuMark]

All the experts now think Whitehead will go to either Seton Hall or St. Johns....

The 24/7 crystal ball is 5 of 5 for Mizzou.

Does Hill have an official scheduled?

Miller and Cassell Jr.

I believe that all that means is that five Mizzou fans have joined 24/7 for the privilege of voting that they think he'll go to Mizzou.

I think it was pretty obvious that they were in the lead...but it is being reported that Hill had a good in home today with Buzz.

I don't think they have an official scheduled, but they have talked about it.

[Lennys Tap]

so I got dat going for me. 

Which is nice.

Not at all. It's now 6/6, and all of the voters are college basketball recruiting insiders. As far as base affiliations, looks like writers that cover Indiana, South Carolina, Duke, and Kentucky, along with Meyer and another guy out of Georgia.

Crystal Ball is actually pretty cool. Seems right about 70% of the time and gives an idea of what various writers are hearing without having to read 20-40 different sites.

The issue I have is that they get to change their picks multiple times, so as long as they switch it to the right school the day before a recruit announces, it's considered correct.  One of those guys had FSU for Hill a couple months back and has since switched it to Mizzou.

But overall, I do agree that it's a cool feature and it does give you an idea of what the experts are thinking.
