Some growing rumblings in the last few days that Tyndall could attempt to hire his guardian, like Kennedy was going to do at Ole Miss.

Has taken officials to UNC, Georgetown and Kentucky and unofficials to Memphis. OVs still left to VOLS next week and Baylor the week after.

Seems like it's pretty well known he is for auction/available if you hire his guardian.

What are you UK fans hearing?

I love how college basketball is just openly dirty.

I think Memphis is the team to beat here... I hate U of M but I'd love to go watch this kid play in the Forum a couple times before he takes his game to the NBA.

Disagree here.

Memphis will have Nichols, Goodwin, and the oldest Lawson brother.

He might be the best of the bunch, but he's going to have a hard time usurping those two talented upperclassmen.

I Skal ends up at UK, UT, or Georgetown.

Memphis is the team to beat. His recruitment has been pretty strange. Whoever his handler is is controlling everything. Even Skal's coach has been locked out

Zero chance he ends up at UT. It's Memphis or UK.

Georgetown is definitely in this one.

Things might have changed, but the last update I heard on the GP show was that they didn't think he was very high on Memphis.

This one is 100% on which school is willing to donate the most money to his handler's 501(c)

I would take anything GP says on his show with a grain of salt. He has an axe to grind with his alma mater and will say anything to send UofM fans into a frenzy and drive up his ratings. It's his MO.

That being said, there's a lot of truth to what you said. Gerald Hamilton is the key to Skal's recruitment. However, he may have overplayed his hand, as he has drawn the attention of the NCAA. I suspect he will want to steer Skal away from Cal and WWW as they will implore Skal to "cut him out" of his professional earnings. He's in it for the long hustle.

Memphis is the team to beat and has been for over a year. If anything changes in that regard, the CB's will start flipping soon and MT.org will implode with the fire of 1,000 suns.

Donny Tyndall knows how to play the game. I give Tennessee a good shot at this one.

His handler gives everyone a shot. If someone hires him he is theirs.

You don't know what you're talking about. That went out the window a month or two ago.

It's a Calipari vs. Pastner battle. Everyone else is window dressing.

I think you are selling Georgetown extremely short.
