Of course...
Kid is good, all the top guys should be looking at him, does he return the interest? I would assume not

All the sweeter when we land a Top 5 recruit over Kansas, Duke and Kentucky.

Yeah, obviously gotta monitor Duke and UK, however, Jalil has said countless times that he's all about relationships and which coaching staffs are prioritizing him/showing him love. Other than Miami, can't really say any other team has shown more love to Jalil than SU, so hopefully that loyalty wins out in the end. Plus, Donnie is recruiting him and are current players!

we'll see how true that is. If he ends up at a UK or Duke, we know that it was BS. I felt really strongly that he's ours, but this is gonna be even more of a battle now.

Totally agree on all fronts ... I'm trying to get in touch with a few national recruiting experts to gauge how Duke/UK could impact SU's chances with Jalil.

What about the possibility of him pulling a Flowers and heading to Australia, or the G- League?

That was really upsetting re: Trentyn. If fans want to be mad about the timing of his decision, so be it, but death threats, wishing him to get injured, etc. If that stuff occurred, it's shameful.

I’m more concerned with him going to G league over Kentucky or Duke. Cuse is the leader and with how good he is, he wants to play where he wants to be and the system he’s playing in. Reds system is perfect for him and he knows that. G league is possible issue though

Every fan base has its buttholes. But, I imagine Louisville is loaded with uneducated douchebags…too go along with a few intelligent fans.

They all say that until they get a check in front of them for 500k+

Jalil is really flying up the rankings. He has worked really hard and it’s paying off. Hopefully, if he decides to go to college, he values the relationships he’s developed. If he goes somewhere to make money, it’s understandable. If he chooses that route, hopefully he does it early, unlike Flowers.

Well, from the optimistic insiders here, I would hope our NIL would pony up. If he comes in as a legitimate top 5 recruit, the impact is on more than just one year in the court. It signals to the following classes that SU is back as a destination school.
There could be a significant synergy between resurgent, exciting, competitive SU sports, the anticipated influx of Micron and Micron adjacent workers, and attendance. Highly rated recruits add fuel.

I still think he comes to cuse. I think they have a great plan for him and he definitely wants to play college ball. Plus their NIL efforts have ramped up. Just always covering my ground lol

We need to outperform these next ten years in all sports to not be left behind

Meh. MBB/FB for sure. MLAX might help incrementally. WBB too maybe. The rest are nice but at the end of the day, matter little in this conversation. I hope they all do well - MSOC winning a national title was great last year. It that doesn’t move the needle for conference realignment.

Until he doesn't (like you said earlier). What a kid who's being recruited says doesn't mean a ton to me. We've been burned so many times before. That all said, it is encouraging to hear how we stand in a very good position. He would be a HUGE get!

I have the feeling that we are only still click-clicking up the lift hill.
Definetly! I've said too, very important.. That would really be tough to loose him n barely But if we can pay this guy as much u k or duke than I think we can hold on n bring him in
