Buehrle>Wood Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) There's nothing concrete connecting him to KU. Everyone assumes it's KU because it's KU. Bill Self comes to town yesterday and doesn't bother to say hi to him. That's telling to me, and probably telling to him. I think Memphis is the real competition here.

farmteam Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Wow, didn't expect Blackmon to come back to IU. That's great, he's supposed to be a phenomenal shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Not really. Even the premium stuff I'm subscribed to is saying basically saying "because it's KU". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a 4A team (biggest division) like North Central, LN, Carmel, and the Indy schools. They are in the NCC, which has the most state titles in IHSAA history, with the top two teams being Marion and Muncie Central (9). Marion has 7 state titles, the last behind one Zach Randolph in 2000. They also produced three straight titles with the Jay Edwards, Lyndon Jones crew in the mid 80's.

You haven't heard? He has gotten rid of every single bad influence in his life and is now a choir boy. That's why he has tons of schools knocking the doors down to get him..... He is definitely talented though, I'll give you that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never did I say he did, but I do know Cliff Alexanders "hanger ons" are no longer involved with JaQuan, which is a big start. I'm still very hesitant about taking Lyle, but you can't deny the talent that is there. Would I prefer Crean stand pat now and hold out for a big in the spring? You bet... But God knows he's not (nor any coach), going to turn down a top ten talent if they want to come. Still don't think he can qualify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 The question is: are there just some party spots that he likes to hit up or does this mean he really wants to go there? Question 2: does it matter which one of the above it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 A good source predicts that when Cliff makes his announcement, the two hats on the table will be Illinois and DePaul. WhaaaaT? Interesting none the less for Illini fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Well if true I was half right. The Kansas stuff always seemed lime smoke to me from the national guys. Though I thought it was Memphis as the competition and not Depaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenksismyhero Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 DePaul makes no sense for Cliff. Illinois will at least be in a win-soonish mode. DePaul will still be terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenksismyhero Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) Also: Taylor Rooks Sports @ImTaylorRooks Speaking with Cliff Alexander now about the "choosing between Illinois and DePaul" rumor. Says that it is "not true." @humblekid11 He also said the no unofficial visit to MSU rumor wasn't true....and then he didn't make an unofficial visit and dropped MSU from his list.
