Ashley Hodge? She thinks everybody is committing to Baylor. She's worse than Evan Flood for the Badgers.

Do you know Ashley? She hasn't posted anything from what I can see.

Just put me on ignore. I was saying what I saw online. He had a good time at the game with Tristan Clark, his HS teammate & Baylor commit is what I saw.

It's not a big deal. Nobody else is getting worked up over it

Also saw that Baylor students were on spring break so that the campus was pretty dead. I'll take anything that helps :)

Sorry if I came off aggressive. Was just checking your source. When Someone says "i heard" vs sharing an article it usually implies insider knowledge around here.

I hate to ask but can you send me a link to what you found? I have 247 all access but I can't find the article you mentioned.

Markus enjoyed his Baylor visit so much that Ashley Hodge changed her (his?) prediction from Baylor to Marquette  ;D

Starting to feel really good about this one.

Boom. Feeling pretty darn good here.

I referenced a post on a message board that Markus was enjoying his visit with his HS teammate and Baylor commitment (which to my knowledge wasn't previously mentioned on Scoop)

TAMU said I don't know Ashley & that Hodge is completely useless, more so than Evan Flood the Badgers guy.

Today Hodge flipped 247 crystal ball to Marquette

Quickly summed up...good news for MU :) gotta be over 70% in crystal balls now?

Cool, thanks.  Here's to hoping he decides there's no need for a 5th visit and we hear some good news in about a month.

Pulling HeNBA & Markus in back 2 back years would be something special. Wojo and his staff work extremely hard.

So now these "academies" don't even pretend to be a school? They just partner with another school? All 22ft academy has is a gym and a weight room with tutors?

Done been like that for a long time.

Markus' team - Findlay Prep - is the same. The kids go to school at Henderson.
Thanks for ruining summer, Canada.

Warrior Pride, you didn't reference a post from a message board. You said you heard that his visit went great. Since you didn't reference something, I asked you for a source because I know you are connected to AAU, I knew the visit wasn't over yet, and because it was in direct conflict with something that I was hearing from someone I trust, I thought you might have better intel than I do. I'll admit, I came off a bit aggressive and have apologized for it. When you responded, you just said Ashley Hodge. Not, an article from Ashley Hodge or a post on a message board from Ashley Hodge, just Ashley Hodge. Since you didn't reference something specific, I thought maybe you knew Ashley which is why I asked. I also shared my opinion about Ashley Hodge because if you check his crystal ball and posting history, he picks everyone Baylor targets to go to Baylor and then changes it once it becomes undeniably apparent that the recruit has no interest in Baylor. After that, you said it was from an article on 247. I hadn't seen the article so I apologized.

I haven't been able to find the article, if you get a chance can you send me a link to it. Even though Hodge does predict everyone to Baylor, he is their insider so I would be curious to see what their opinion of their chances are.

I switched my crystal ball to Marquette. Was feeling all gloomy. Had a few conversations; received a text... And all of a sudden...


I may have to switch back to Baylor soon

Hodge switched but seems to think Baylor still has a chance. I like MU's chances

I still am worried about USC lurking in the bushes. Other than that we are in good position.

Do you have any sort of source for this concern? USC and Howard haven't been mentioned together for a very long time from what I can see.

Not trying to attack, trying to understand because you've mentioned it a couple of times

I have spent a lot of time over the years in that So Cal, Arizona, Vegas corridor and I have found the cachet and Hollywood ties of USC to be a very big deal in that area. Lots of people who never went there ,much less even went to college, support SC. My concern was that I heard somewhere young Mr. Howard was potentially reserving a visit at the end with them. That is why I have it in the lurking in the bushes category. If there is no visit then we don't need to worry about them.

Crazy. At least Findlay has a school right? It sounds to me like 12ft "academy" has a gym and weight room.

I've lived in Las Vegas for 23 years (from Milwaukee) and never thought about a USC basketball cachet here.  Football yes, basketball no.  UCLA basketball is much more popular here.  Las Vegas is a very "bandwagon" city. Of course I don't know anything about Markus & USC.

Las Vegas native Bryce Harper listed his favorite sports teams a few years ago.  Baseball: NY Yankees; NFL: Dallas Cowboys; NCAAFB: USC; NCAABB: Duke.  Very typical here...

Those of us from various parts of the country still root for our home teams.  It makes for very interesting and lively discussions!

Certainly possible, but I don't see it. My gut tells me that young Mr. Howard won't take any more visits (unless he doesn't reclassify). I think its down to MU and Baylor and MU is strongly in the lead.

Vegas has it 100% correct.  Ever been up to Big Dogs near Santa Fe casino to watch the Packers?
