Gabe reporting that he is hearing Mizzou still in it. Zagoria has since removed that tweet, and Borzello reporting that Mizzou still in the mix. What I have seen his mom really wants him at Syracuse so he's close to her. I have seen nothing to indicate Indiana is a player here. We really need to land some of these guys.

Other sources saying Mizzou is not out of it for Thomas Bryant...will have more later.
Same guy as the post from you, but his source is probably Gabe.

Yeah, his mom has made it no secret that she wants him at Syracuse. She has made more than one comment about it, even before Mizzou got in the mix. The earlier tweet was again based on comments from mom yet again. I'm assuming part of recruiting Bryant includes recruiting his mom. The one thing I do think KA is, is a genuine and good guy and would think that would play well with mom.
If Booker's dad was only as outspoken about his desires as Bryant's mom. Or Ofodile's dad.

Hearing Syracuse from multiple sources. Lure of home. RT @TheJohnSmoltz: think any serious contention for Hoosiers & Thomas Bryant?

2015 5-star #Syracuse target Thomas Bryant will visit Indiana this week as scheduled. Decision may come sooner than we think. #OrangeNation

What's the scoop on Blakeney? I thought I saw something where he talked about the visit

He cancelled his trip to Kentucky for this weekend, so that can only be good for us.

Not that we were pursuing him anymore, especially after Puryear's commitment, but Kaiser Gates from Georgia heading to Xavier.

So these twitter folks all said they'd come out with more on Thomas Bryant later. It is now later. Has there been anymore word or clarification on Bryant?

@AdamZagoria @aroth26 he likes Mizzou but mom wants him at Cuse? Also Cuse has no scholarship but Mizzou has no players.
More of the tweets from that conversation. What I learned. It's complicated. Cuse has no scholarship to give at this point. Mizzou has no players.

So if Blakeney committed, would we have a shot at Bryant? Seems like we're right in there.

So Mizzou has no players? Young and in need of a big man. Thomas would be a perfect fit and would get plenty of PT as a freshman.

Per espn "Syracuse University will go before the NCAA's Committee on Infractions at the end of this month"
That sounds like a good thing for us in regards to Bryant

That and the fact that Syracuse is out of scholarships as of now and their fans are unsure if anyone is leaving early.

Not Mizzou related but with all of the other talent coming out of the state in the coming years, I keep forgetting this kid on the east side.

Decision time for Briscoe. Article says he will pick in the early period most likely and only mentions Mizzou and St. John's.

Blakeney talks a lot about the numbers each put in the NBA. I think we have a decent chance if UK doesn't put a push on. If UK decides to make him a priority, I think he ends up there.

Thanks for those articles cougar.
I think we have a better chance with Briscoe than Blakeney personally. Though I think being closer to home and playing in MSG is going to be tough to overcome, in addition to the fact that St. John's has been on him longer and are pushing HARD for him.

We seem to have a 50/50 shot with each of the big 3 we brought in. As long as we land 1 of them, I'll be happy. I just don't want to miss on all 3, as our backup plans seem pretty slim. We've already got our filler/projects for this class in VanLeer and Puryear, we need some stars now.
