Seriously though on Booker, my take is he obviously likes all 4 of the final schools. I give us a 25% chance of landing him.
I gotta throw in a lil extra somethin somethin for us since he basically has two visits and they're just before his announcement. Blame it on me for blowing the reverse jinx if he doesn't choose us.

Naw, my last post basically just means I have no idea beyond we are 1 of 4 teams left and thus the 25%.
It is all meaningless because it's just me trying to read between the lines and I'm wrong more than I'm right but it seems to me Devin was in awe of Coach Cal and UK based on the way he'd talk about them. That and the recent UK PG commit is pretty close with Booker and they talked about playing together but we saw what that meant with Hill and Gant.
Momma's voice seems to want him close to home at UM or MSU and you can never question the sway a mom has.
Dad has the obvious Mizzou ties and yepp, I love the fact we are his last visit and it's 2 weekends in a row, including one honoring his dad and his team with the throwback game. The atmosphere should be electric for that exhibition game. I don't get the impression Melvin is pushing hard but I believe has stated he'd of course be happy to see Devin carry on the name at Mizzou.
So I see things that could influence his decision to any of the 4 schools and in the end it's probably all meaningless and the reason for me saying we have a 1 in 4 chance.

I'm just as confused as everyone else is about this, but I did find this article to be insightful. LINK

Blueitt to MSU eliminating Booker and Blackmon from their equation. Blackmon to UM eliminating Booker. UK gets Johnson. Booker to MIZZOU!!!! I just made everyone happy. Make it so.

devins official visit this weekend. Not as much of a deal breaker as most other potential recruits since he has been here many other times before...
However, if he has his mind set on UM/UK then I hope the whole football game experience along with everything else on campus leaves an even higher impression of what he has on mizzou from past visits... and we get teh nudge here in a couple weeks.

“@DevinBook: Packed up and ready for my official to Missouri tomorrow! ?? #MIZ”--- word. Do the right thing young fella
booker just retweeted this to.
I never understood the hate for pressey.

I think the importance of this visit lies in mom as much Devin.

Hate to say this but I feel like Booker's mom is influencing his recruitment...
Hopefully this clears things up...

Any Booker sightings or updates from his weekend visit?
They had to have loved the game atmosphere!

He tweeted how great of a game it was and he was getting a lot of love from the Mizzou fans at the game.

Some poster on PM quoted a player saying
"He's ours." FWIW

Booker called his visit a 10 out of 10.

Booker will be back in CoMo this weekend with his father for a ceremony to honor the '94 team.
A few of the 247 analysts are starting to change their prediction to Mizzou.

No idea who these guys are but:

A former teammate of James Blackmon Jr. tells me that JB will go to Kentucky. He has always wanted to follow in his father's footsteps #BBN
Todd Young ?@TJSENIORCATFAN1 34m
@InsideBBRecruit any decision date set? Is he still visiting IU?
CollegeRecruiting ?@InsideBBRecruit 32m
@TJSENIORCATFAN1 no date has been set. I expect a decision within 10 days. IU visit is still uncertain. UK is nearly a lock at this time
Todd Young ?@TJSENIORCATFAN1 28m
@InsideBBRecruit does his (probable) commitment to UK have any affect, good or bad, on Devin Booker who is announcing soon also?
CollegeRecruiting ?@InsideBBRecruit 25m
@TJSENIORCATFAN1 I believe it takes UK out of the race. He loves the Missouri Tigers. They are my pick to land Devin Booker.

I want Booker so badly! Would be such a huge get for Mizzou and would definitely catch UK's eyes

I'm so hoping that this weekend is the swaying factor. If he's on the fence with everyone and can literally go any direction, I have to hope that the extra visit right before his decision will help. Especially after he sees the "love" that's poured out for his dad and the other former players. Really hope the Hearnes Center is electric Friday night.
