Class of 2019 wing Wendell Moore from Cox Mill High School in North Carolina is down to Duke, North Carolina, Florida State, Ohio State, Wake Forest, NC State, South Carolina, Washington, Kansas and Maryland. Moore pointed out that six of these schools have recruited him the hardest.
“UNC, Wake Forest, NC State, Duke, Maryland and Washington have recruited me the hardest to this point,” said Moore.
May not be so cut and dried. One year of a Prima Donna with eyes only for the Association or 4 years of a good player that may give a more sustained boost to the program.
I still am not convinced that Childress as a senior would be behind Ayo as a freshman. Four years of maturation and coaching can make up a lot of ground. Unless the one year player is really all that, you are getting a guy that is still learning and will make a bunch of mistakes.
But it never happened. Horton-Tucker never gave Illinois an oral commitment because the offer was taken off the table by Illinois.
Last week Dosunmu committed to Illinois. It was a major recruiting coup for coach Brad Underwood and his new staff. But then things got complicated. As the week progressed and after the official visit it looked more and more like Horton-Tucker might choose Illinois.
The Dosunmu camp apparently never reached a point where they felt like they were comfortable playing with Horton-Tucker again, so the Illinois staff was forced to choose. They stuck with Dosunmu.
This is Coach Manning's new secret weapon in the recruiting wars.
Ayo is not worth a shitty assistant coach and burning bridges with a Chicago powerhouse high school
Idiots

The question is why was Illinois still recruiting THT at all if this was such a big deal
