TK recruiting prowess > FranTyreke Locure will not be visiting.
There goes this class...
'19 Trayce Jackson-Davis 5*
'19 Patrick McCaffery 4*
'19 Joe Toussaint 3*
'20 Xavier Foster 5*
Well PM and Toussaint are fairly safe guesses at this point. PM is a foregone conclusion. I would love either Jackson-Davis or Brooks. Brooks is a program changer borderline one and done guy. Foster as well but my hopes aren't up with landing any of them. It's like asking for a Pony for Xmas but getting one of those rocking chair ones instead. That seems to be how things go for us in recruiting.I'm done getting my hopes up about 5 star recruits from out of state. Especially when Brooks and Trayce have blue blood offers closer to home.
I bet Fran lands 2 of the 4 guys in this list....
The feeling is that Fran wanted Joe in first, so he had a chance to commit first, they would then cancel the other two visits. It makes sense that you get the guy you want the most in first, so if he wants to commit, then you are good to go with the guy you want.
I also agree that we have a better shot with Foster, as Carton wasn't a fan like Foster is. I'd say that if he had offers like Carton did that we could land him. The problem is Foster already has a blue blood offer, and even more might come.
Joe Toussaint final four:
UNLV
Dayton
Witchita St
Iowa
That's more encouraging than discouraging anyway... Safe to say he's undecided anyway. Indiana probably looks at him as a must get kid too. Getting him would for sure be a 2 fold great thing not only would he be playing for us but not them or maybe MSU...
Here is an article on TJD about his upcoming visit. Sounds like he enjoyed his unofficial visit last year.
I agreed.I have always liked getting coach's sons. They are typically ahead of other players when it comes to basketball IQ and fundamentals. I feel the same way about Fran's sons. Having the inside track on a given player doesn't diminish the player's talent, skills, etc.
How under rated was Doug McDermott? I mean wth.. Not that he'd have played for anyone other than either Jacobson at UNI or his Dad at Creighton like he ended up doing but he could have played for anybody anywhere and pretty early on..I have always liked getting coach's sons.
