Just posted on the recruiting side:

Proximity to home is not a factor.

My understanding is Cal and Michigan are ahead of SU right now, Stanford in the mix as well. The kid wants to go to the best business school he can, I don't believe he is in it for the recruiting experience, to get his back rubbed, or to feel good about himself (al la Taurean Thompson). He's not ungetable for Cuse, but, if they want him, they would need to work the quality academic grad program angle while convincing him the team will be good enough to make another run like this year (I think SU making the list stems from the tourney run, if not for that it probably wouldn't be). I have no idea how interested the staff is or if they think he is good enough to devote a ton of time to convincing.

I like his game. I think he could contribute and he would have the added benefit of not occupying a scholarship for longer than one year. Plus the recruitment will only last two weeks or so, decision will be made in that time frame - give or take - seems to me like a waste not to try when you know recruitment wont drag on for years. This kid isn't demanding a starting spot or x number of minutes, though he of course wants to play meaningful minutes in meaningful games.
