cook to ku is a longshot.  i'd put money on him never visiting.  he's elite though, as good as turner.

Him to KU would be amazing message boarding.  Don't get in front of that sys.

if cook does go to KU, does that mean we get to snobbishly ask them what they are going to do when their DC Assault pipeline runs dry?

Wooly!

"Marcos De Niza High School's 6-foot-8, 215-pound senior post T.J. Burke has made his decision. After looking over numerous options for himself, Burke has decided on a program from the Big West Conference, giving a verbal commitment to UC-Riverside and Head Coach Jim Wooldridge."

update on koppe22's favorite midmajor facebook big.

At 6-foot-8 and 232 pounds, Duncanville's most valued prospect, Luke Mergerson  is sorting through his offers. Programs from Conference USA, the Colonial, and Northeast have official visits set for three consecutive weekends in October.

"I am going to Tulane October 8, North Carolina Wilmington October 15, and Mount St. Mary's October 22," said Mergerson.

In addition to the three visits that Mergerson has set, he has his eye on two Ivy League schools.

"Cornell and Brown are on my list, but I need to take the ACT," added Mergerson. "I would like to be a Sports Agent and both schools have great Law programs. They are also a place where I could go in and play as a freshman."

and on another mokan success story.

"The highlight of the tour of the campus was the library, the University library, I'll never forget that," Kravish said. "When we were walking to it, Mohamed (Muqtar) pointed to this grassy area ahead of us, and said, 'Beneath this, five stories deep, is the library. I mean, I just, when we went in there, first of all, it felt like an old Greek building, like the Parthenon, with the pillars and everything. That was cool, and then I walk in and the ceiling is engraved, and it just looked so  cool. And then, we walked to the stairs, and it's this spiral staircase where you can look down all five floors. It was cool. That had to be the highlight of that tour. And they have more than just that library. They have a library for each specific area, like they have a science and whatever library, a business library and then they've got that main one."...

Coming all the way from Lee's Summit, Mo., Kravish saw some things he wasn't exactly familiar with. You know, trees, hills, things like that....

"I'm going to meet with my coaches again and my family, so we're going to talk through some things," Kravish said. "I'll have a lot better understanding and a lot better view of things then. I'm guessing a week to two weeks after my Colorado visit.

I feel ya Kravish.  I live in KC, MO, my sis lives in Lee's Summit, and I would give my left nut to be able to see a tree.  Gotsa to go all the way to Columbia to get a glimpse of one.   Hills are cool too, but I don't hold out a lot of hope of ever seeing one.

Good podcast interview with Gipson. Talked about his recent visit. Seems like   was definitely a factor in his decision.

edit: listened to it again, and Thomas sounds incredibly adorable. 

[sys]

have seen where he's supposed to be a marq lock and where he's supposed to be a baylor lock.  either way, supposedly his aau coach is in control.  sigh.

Texas Shooting Guard D'Angelo Harrison is "leaning heavily" towards St. John's, according to @BrandonTierney.

California lands Lee's Summit North Power Forward David Kravish.

great choice by another successful mokan player.

Grumblings Cook is announcing soon. Before LNATP?!?!

who cares

[sys]

Grumblings Cook is announcing soon. Before LNATP?!?! 

he tweeted something about committing soon.  duke fans jumped on it as a hint he may commit on his visit to late night visit to duke.

maybe; cook doesn't mind attention.  regardless of when, it'd be a fairly big surprise if he doesn't choose duke eventually - barring a last minute unc offer or duke getting miller or something like that 1st.

D'Angelo Harrison will announce on Thursday between St. John's, Baylor, Marquette & Oklahoma State.

from zagoria.

if true, that means he's skipping his scheduled visits to st. john's and marquette.  but, i think he already visited each unofficially.

[Underdog Wildcat]

Per recent Scout update, Cook states he will definitely sign early, only 2 visits left are Duke and 'Nova, doesn't look like he'll make it to ku(tragedy), most signs pointing to him being a Dookie.

Harrison will be announcing on ESPNU Thursday(didn't know the exact time though), swears up and down he still has same final 4.
