Taurean Thompson visit

[Sbee]

Reportedly going well, hearing that MSU has a very good chance to land him. I'm seeing tweets from MSU recruiting insiders along with Seaton Hall people

I just checked out Twitter and this one caught my eye "Hearing that mom wants Seton Hall (close to home) and Taurean wants Michigan State."

That sound awfully familiar.

Well, so much for that then.

Mom doesn't want him to go to Syracuse, MSU may be the compromise pick. Mom and Grandma both came on the visit, sounds like she signed off on MSU, just wants him to think about it for a few days, he was ready to sign while on campus. It's upside, he's ranked somewhere between 75-85 in all publications, if we get him, great, if not, not a huge blow.

He's # 59 on 247. 84 on Rivals, and 75 on ESPN. Really has a lot of upside. Not a blue chipper, but a kid who has a skill set to be able to get minutes as a freshman. I'm hearing we're in the driver's seat.

I just read that Izzo bowed out of this recruitment. There was interest but we've seen enough

 

[Sbee]

now hearing that we're back in or maybe we were never out in the first place. Thompson doesn't do any social media, rarely if ever uses his cell phone. this one's not over but strange to say the least

Why are we always in on the nut job recruitments?

Its a good thing I completely stopped caring about basketball recruiting after the apples jackson shit show.

Too bad Josh Jackson was more scared of his mother than this kid was

That's impressive, but Jesse Hall was a pretty good jumper too.

agreed but don't you wish you had stopped after the whole Jabari Parker situation - I wish I had.

So weird - I googled him at around noon yesterday to see if he had made a decision and saw nothing. It's all in the timing.

I just don't get what people see in Syracuse, they're the most painful team to watch play basketball - at least of any high profile teams - and they clearly have more than their fair share of troubles. Why would anyone want to play there?

And if any system is going to leave you ill-prepared for the NBA, it's that zone defense.

I should have learned but that was the early phase of getting stepped over. I was overly worked up over swanigan. I was much less worked up over Jackson with 1-2 very hopeful days and more cynical than anything when he went to KU. I didnt even look at Taurean Thompsons profile:zzz:. Is it football season yet?
