Good tidbit from Jake... but am I the only one that gets an alert email at about this point in recruiting a kid right after a visit that Jake has new info that's really hoping for one of his "heard he let the coaches know its done" or something of the sort? lol

Wants to play out the process and visit other big time programs before making a decision. He has always been inquiring interest to UNC, UK, KU, and somehow even garbage like WVU has made moves into his recruitment.
Trust me if this kid wanted to commit right now, room would be available for him between now and 2015.

He's been trying for months to drum up some schools and no dice . I think that whole thought of schools not wanting to waste their time with a future Cuse commit has a lot of truth .

Can't see him at West Virginia. Kentucky, not sure but they probably have another higher rated PF recruit they're looking at with their $$. North Carolina, maybe, but don't know their other recruiting targets and if they have even offered. He might be playing this out to see if he can at least visit and see if something opens up elsewhere. At the end of the day, when you add up all the pros and cons, I think he is SU!

Reminds me how the DC2 recruitment went. In the beginning everybody stayed away from him because they figured it would be a waste of time thinking he was a lock for SU. We all know how things eventually played out but it was good to see PayPal Cal get shut down.

Yes. Grant, Ennis, McCullough, or somebody transferring should eventually open up a spot.

Right after JB finished his interview with Raf, Bryant got JB's attention just as he was going down the tunnel and he shook his hand and then followed him into the tunnel. Hopefully, JB is working on closing the deal

Wow lots of great tidbits about Bryant's visit. Great job from everyone who contributed information.
Its amazing how dialed in this board is with recruiting. I never though I'd know so much about it.
Other boards are clueless about these kids by comparison, its not easy to get info on recruiting, but it makes recruiting so much more fun to follow.

Everyone here may already know this, but, apparently our boy Tyler Lydon is also working Bryant, trying to get a commit. Supposedly has spoke to him and says he will continue to speak with him. This is according to @syracusebball on twitter - this may be old news to everyone.

No, I believe we have one left right now. Bryant could take it and obviously is the guy we need next. We may wind up with Diange and another guy (a guard, most likely), but people have to declare first for any more guys to be taken in. But I think that right now we have 1 available if Bryant were to say "yes".

WVU fell apart with the move to the Big 12. I would guess that Huggs' drinking problem has resurfaced, because he is just not getting any decent kids at all anymore. He feels like he has given up.

Usually JB leaves a scholarship or 2 open to give to a walk on to help combat the APR. With Grant, and most likely Ennis leaving early in the next 2 years we will need to have the required GPA cushion. I'd be shocked if we didn't keep 1 or 2 spots open

If that were the case we'd already be done for 2015. Clearly we're still pushing for Bryant and maybe one other guy.

Interesting article about "why WVU?" so far for 2015 recruits.
