Class of 2018 PF/C Valdir Manuel (NJ) Flipped from Seton Hall to St Josephs to JUCO to St Johns to ...

This means you think Carey is a one and done? Interesting.

With the current landscape of the college game, and unless the one and done rule gets changed...I have pretty much just accepted that any recruit we get in the top 100 may be gone.

Hope not but if you read what Jalen is saying, and even JB, it seems likely. I think when building your roster, you have to plan for these kinds of things and hope for a pleasant surprise or two.

If Carey is good enough to start next year (and I think he may be), then he could be one and done. But if Hughes winds up playing more than him at the 2, Carey’s road to the NBA could be slowed.

I think this is good. Illinois might be looking at other options. This guy is a skilled forward. Maybe the Illini aren’t loving their chances with his teammate, Manuel?

Announcing Thursday at 2:30...gotta like our chances

I'd have to imagine that this run and the publicity we've gotten sure doesn't hurt our cause. We'll find out Thursday.

Just to recap for me we have room if everyone stays?

and buddy as a scholarship player

I don’t know how he’d commit to us without visiting. Seton Hall or Illinois? Illinois is going after his teammate, another big, as I posted.

Exactly whats given me pause now

 

[albanycuse]

Didn’t we offer then he put us in his final 4 right after? His recruitment is rather strange.

 

[iommi]

Manuel said he’s in no rush. Acted like he wasn’t going to decide for a while, then announces out of the blue he’s announcing his commitment on Thursday.

 

[Footey04]

He's not coming here imo

Hmmm. Sudden decision-making in recruiting is rarely a good sign.

Yeah, I don’t see how this is SU.

Valdir has since taken down his tweet about announcing on Thursday...

Okay, that’s odd.

strikes me as good news for SU

 

[Jrock6986]

Another weird recruitment of a NJ big man.

strikes me as good news for SU

Why would a recruit commit to a school he hasn't visited?

 

[RF2044]

Why would a recruit commit to a school he hasn't visited?

Because he likes us better than the other options?

Proximity to home?

And because maybe our postseason success / momentum is influencing his choice?

Seems like wishful thinking.
