Eric, You said in your column the doors still open to 5th year grads and conventional transfers.....although the 2015 freshman class is very likely in the books....it is a good sized class.
Paschal Chukwu visits Michigan State today. 3 of his 4 visits have been with Top 10 type teams...Virginia, Kansas, Michigan State....Nebraska obviously a step down in quality from those 3, but still a B10 program. Cuse might get a visit....still undetermined and one would think the NCAA penalties are not going to help the Orange. Any indications BC can still get in the mix with Chukwu or do you view the Reyes commit as BC saying, "we got our #5"...the demand for Chukwu is clearly very high. The probability does seem to come down to these 3 Top 10 teams...if I had to guess, it will be MSU. Let's see if Izzo gets a commit on campus today....or no commit and the recruitment being extended. Chukwu is in a very strong bargaining position and has played this well.....he knew he could do much better than PC, left them high and dry in May.....with very few bigs left on the market.Therefore, huge demand from the elite.
But as far as BC is concerned, do you consider Chukwu's recruiting status as "closed"? No further attempts at recruiting him ongoing by BC...it would seem that way.
