A little recruiting FWIW update.
For those who haven't read my recruiting posts, I have a connection within the athletic dept who once in a while slides some little tid-bits my way.
Disclaimer: sometimes these pan out and I am right, and sometimes I turn out to be wrong. College basketball recruiting is a crazy thing.
It appears as though it's down to Yukon and Syracuse for 2016 PF Taurean Thompson. I thought for sure Kansas was going to pursue harder. He is taking an official visit to Storrs on Monday. Could be an announcement within the next couple weeks. I am hearing, from my guy on the hill, that Syracuse feels pretty good about their chances right now. If no Thompson, they have a solid backup plan in Dembele who has strong interest in Cuse.
Cuse has cooled on Columbia transfer SG Grant Mullins. Apparently, he is looking to transfer to a school with the best business grad program, and it's looking like Stanford, Cal, and Michigan are all in the mix.
