Now that this initial flurry of official visits have taken place, here's how it seems to be shaping up:
[LIST]
[*]Westry didn't commit -- he is pursuing other options, which might include playing overseas for pay.  Our coaching staff was on this kid early, and had more than a puncher's chance, but it appears that his handlers are driving the bus.  When he left campus without committing, I think that was a sign he was moving on.
[/LIST]
[LIST]
[*]Copeland LOVED his visit.  He's ours if we want him. 
[/LIST]
[LIST]
[*]JJ also visited over the weekend, and with Westry seemingly out, he appears to have vaulted to the top of the guard pecking order.  Coaches pitched him on the idea of being a scoring point who could play ALONGSIDE Taylor.
[/LIST]
[LIST]
[*]If I had to guess, I'd expect that the most likely outcome is getting Starling OR Copeland.  Unless Copeland is undeterred and / or doesn't mind potentially having to wait his turn for a year, which he might not be willing to do.
[/LIST]
[LIST]
[*]It's been a LONG time since we've been in a position where we've had so many of our top of the board candidates as legitimate prospective "gets," that we are losing sight of the forest through the trees in a first world problem kind of way.  For example:
[LIST]
[*]It is unlikely that we were ever going to sign four guards / wings -- 3 has always been far more likely [and we currently have 2 in the fold]
[*]Westry / Copeland might be a "first to commit" situation @ point guard
[*]The question is whether Copeland is confident enough to compete, and sign here anyway
