247 also saying that Nate Mason is 80% Minnesota/20% KSU.  Jerry Meyer is on the 80% side.

So, scratch him off, too.

Scratch Bess off!

------


Bess had some good things to say about his KSU visit, and as mentioned above, our staff is still going strong after him, would be great to see KSU land him. Thank you Brian Snow:

Three-star small forward Javon Bess is coming off of one official visit, and now a second one is set up. For Bess his recruiting process is beginning to come to an end, and a decision doesn't seem too far away.
This past weekend Kansas State had Bess on campus, and the 6-foot-5 small forward said it was a great time.
"I took my official last weekend," said Bess. "I liked it a lot, it was nicer and better than I expected. The campus is beautiful and the academic advisor seemed nice and knew what she was doing. The arena and all of the facilities were nice, everything was real good."
Before checking out K-State, Bess took an unofficial visit to Michigan State, and another trip has already been set up.
"It went pretty good," said Bess of his unofficial to East Lansing. "I didn't get a chance to see a lot like I got a chance to see at Kansas State which is why I planned an official visit up there this weekend."
He continued about the Spartans, "When I went to Michigan State before I just got to talk to the coaches and see practice. So on my official visit I will get to see everything."
Along with Kansas State and Michigan State, Dayton is firmly in the mix for Bess, and the Flyers have done a very good job of recruiting him.
"I have a great relationship with all of their coaches and they have seen me the most so that means a lot to me," said Bess of Dayton. "They know what I need to work on and what I am good at."
For now Bess says those are his main three schools, but he hasn't quite completely closed things off to those three schools.
"It is kind of just those three, but Indiana has also been calling some, but for right now it is those three," said Bess.
He continued, "I have been talking to Indiana a little bit, but the process is coming to an end. If they offer then I will figure it out, but for right now it is Michigan State, Kansas State, and Dayton."
When it comes to a decision, the schools involved might not have to wait too much longer.
"I am not sure on a decision, maybe in the next couple of weeks," said Bess. "I just know I will be signing in the early signing period."
Texas Christian University coach Gary Patterson has been hired as Kansas State's 34th football coach, multiple sources have confirmed to GoPowercat.com.  Patterson replaces Ron Prince, who was fired Wednesday. - Tim Fitzgerald   Nov, 7, 2008

Hopefully oscar can wrest some of these 'cruits away from the Flyers.  Do you 'spose the staffs just carpool together to save money?

Bess isn't the first player I've heard talk about our academic adviser on the basketball side.  Who is it?

Word is Lyle isn't going to qualify.  Have heard that's why the Louisville decommit happened.  They allegedly dumped him.

2014 Robinson School (NJ) wing Bashir Ahmed remains committed to Iona.

There was another tweet he had that confirmed what DeAnte' Mitchell reported but it appears that has been removed. 

Lucy, you got some splain'n to do! :gocho:

JaQuan is the cat who wants to tether to Cliff Alexander and has been lobbying KU for an offer.

lots of good players don't completely qualify.  if that's our new recruiting profile, so be it.

Javon Bess seems to be the only guy I've been hearing about that we have a chance with. Probably will go to Izzo U though.

It's not like that at all. I don't know exactly who she is but she has on occasion accompanied players on Senior night. She was there when JOs mom was late, she also stood in for someone else recently, Curt I think.
