Xavier Tillman and the Crystal Ball

[Windyplayer]

To the best of my knowledge, no.  I also look for new follows of the coaching staff, admin, and future teammates.

Tillman is following 706 people.  I'm looking for new follows and then crosscheck any new adds.

Haha, I love it.

[HoopsterBC]

Haha, I love it.

if the Purdue story is correct about his girl friend having there first child, the chance of him coming to MU, probably are very slim, even if he wants to come to
MU, he probably will want to be close to his child.  Or maybe the mother wants him as fair away as possible....

That is not the case at all.

[HoopsterBC]

That is not the case at all.

So he is going to MSU?

I have absolutely no idea where he is going. I would guess MSU, but I have no inside info. I just know that Marquette's staff outlined possibilities for his girlfriend's education in their recruiting pitch, so she definitely wants to be close to him.

If that's true, then he gowne.

Come on down Mr. French.

Stan's in DC this morning, a''inna?

Yep as per tweet this AM

[BM1090]

No idea if this article has any merit at all, and it's from a MSU blog, but it lists the reasons why Tillman will pick MSU. That said, the one sentence that stands out to me and reaffirms my beliefs is this: Tillman has taken his final visits and it's believed that the Spartans are the program to beat while Marquette is close behind and Purdue is third

If it's not MSU, I think it'll be Marquette.

Edit: Honestly, the article isn't really worth reading now that I finished it, but I already linked it so I'll leave it up if anyone cares.

Big Daddy total silence. No info, hey?

Who is MU recruiting in DC or Baltimore?

Who is MU recruiting in DC or Baltimore?

Two names for 2018 that MU has been mentioned with in the past:

6-9 PF Jalen Smith  Baltimore
6-3 G  Prentiss Hubb  Washington DC

My guess would be Hubb.

Big Daddy total silence. No info, hey?

I believe that after the Theo John recruitment was announced Big Daddy said he doesn't want to spoil any kids thunder by pre-announcing the decision, if he  (Big Daddy) does know ahead of the official.  I can certainly respect that if it is the case here.

Could be Tillman is still on the phone with Izzo.

AMEN!

Not sure if this was discussed, but per the Detroit Free Press, the announcement is at 12:50 p.m. EST so 11:50 a.m. CST tomorrow (Friday, 9/30).

Hmmm...thought I'd check out Todd Smith's twitter...unfortunately I haven't checked it for awhile...so I have no frame of reference for when this follow started...but he is following Xavier Tillman...and not French or any other uncommitted targets...he is also following John and Cain if you're curious.

I'm not saying it's a #donedeal but it does stand out to me.  Plus, Tillman has to keep my birthday-visit-commitment streak in tact.  So there's that, too!

Edit:  I crosschecked Xavier Tilliman's follower list and he also has the MSU strength coach following him.  So we're back to square one.

Where's Ron Paul?

[Earl Tatum]

Joey is still No. 1. 4-star Hubb from DC also a good pick up.

[Big Daddy 84]

Fellow warriors.  Sorry I am in Tokyo. Took JAL from ORD to Narita (on Wednesday) and I have horrible jet lag.  I have not called anyone and probably wont.  Did get text that wojo and stan both got a call, but no details to share. But as I said before I think the player should have the right to announce his decision.  I still think it was a 50/50, but in the end there is only one winner.  If Mom had the final choice I would say 80/20 MU. I think she wants X to get a little farther away. But I honestly don't know what was decided.

Will have to try to stay up tonight (it is Friday here)  to check messages and maybe have  a couple of fingers of Pappy Van winkle FR-20 if a celebration is in order. Or to drown my tears.  Either way I win.

Thanks BD!

This commitment is being kept tightly wrapped.  We may have to wait until tomorrow.

Too bad I will be on the road at 11:50 am.  Where's the sweating emoji mods !

[PGsHeroes32]

He's going to MSU

[Dr. Blackheart]

Take CB with a grain of salt, I know, but has there ever been a recruit that every "expert" has missed on as would be the case here if XT committed to MU?

Only Scoop nailed that Looney pick when his dentist gassed him and he spilled the beans.
