Brian Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Mar 20, 2015 -> 01:39 PM) Illinois needs Lovett so bad. This is the first I've watched him live. He's incredible. Get him committed and worry about grades later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get him committed and worry about grades later. I completely agree. It will be a shame if he goes out of state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigruss Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 At this point, I'm all in on the Lovett bandwagon. Kid is good and it's not like you're pulling a scholly for him, if it doesn't work out then you're in no worse shape. I don't think we'd find an impact transfer anyways, and I'd probably want to grab a big man 5th year if that scholarship is still open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigruss Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Groce was in Ohio watching Xavier Simpson (he's been to see him 3-4 times I think). I believe Parham was in to see Lovett. That may be telling on what we think of our chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW: Michael O'Brien @michaelsobrien LoVett broke out in a huge smile when I asked him about Parham watching. Obviously a good relationship there.

Brian Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) Groce is here watching Lovett's last game. Should stay for Jordan Goodwin. Also may stay for Justin Smith from Stevenson tonight. Edited March 21, 2015 by Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Lovett set record for most pts in 3A state tournament and is adding on. 53 right now, just 8 today but 3rd place games are more loose obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenksismyhero Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Decision on April 25th, after his Kansas visit. Doesn't sound promising, but he'd sure be a nice back-up or even potential starter with Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmteam Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 4, 2015 -> 12:38 PM) Thomas Bryant to Indiana Absolutely huge. I imagine this gives Yogi and Troy one more reason to stay. Though like I've been saying all along they're idiots if they go, most mocks have Troy in mid/late 2nd and Yogi late 2nd or undrafted. I think they end up staying for that reason, and Bryant is there cherry on top. Someone's gonna get Creaned now, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Rapolous Ivanauskas commits to Northwestern. Lots of people high on him but everytime I've seen him, he turns the ball over and gets out of control and clumsy. See if he has a big senior year.
