what are the chances we go after him?

It should be really high considering we have 2-3 more scholarships to give and that he is a great player and we were being considered by him before he signed with Xavier. Sounds like we have some solid prospects now with Maurice Jones transferring from USC and now Chris Thomas decommitting from Xavier. Could you imagine getting both of those guys plus Vince Hunter or Zeigler!!!
 
At the very least, this is intriguing. I wonder if he's thinking Florida since he's in their backyard.
 
I would love to have him on the team but I don't know what our chances of actually landing him are
 
2% chance...no inside info..just makes no sense to have him, Thomas, and Hogue at the same positions.

It makes all the sense in the world to try to land talented players like Thomas at ISU. Regardless of Hogue, I think they would love to land Thomas, but I have no clue if there is any interest on his part. If there were, it would seem that we would have held off on Hogue a bit, to see if Thomas would commit.

I don't think Hogue's commitment would effect Chris Thomas's decision at all since they play different positions. Hogue plays SF/PF. Chris Thomas SG.

How many scholarships do you think we have?
 
I don't think it matters that Chris Thomas and Matt Thomas play the same position, since we aren't really strong at the SF position I wouldn't see any problem with having 2 SGs with the talent level the two Thomas boys have...assuming we even have a chance with Chris
 
If Bubu remains on the team we have 2 left to give. 3 left if he is kicked off the team. I think we bank 1 at most. We badly need Bubu to remain on the team so that if we do fill all 6 of the 2013 scholarships we will still have 3 scholarships to give to the 2014 class. If he is kicked off the team we have to fill 7 scholarships for the 2013 class and 2 scholarships for the 2014 class; and if that happens we would more than likely bank 1 of the 2013 scholarships so that we would have 3 to give to the 2014 class. So there is zero benefit of losing Bubu. Banking a scholarship is never a good thing.
