honestly this might be the worst list I have seen yet...Goodman and Borzello's are much better...Nigel Pack at #134? Kendric Davis 146???

Pack had a way better year than Hunter. Tyrese had a good freshman year but Pack was a bucket getting machine the whole year
Or Hunter returns after finding the grass really isn't greener?
Suppose you are mostly joking. I guarantee there is greener grass. Plus, once a kid pulls this on you, do you even want him back? Talk about tension in the locker room!
Last year we had 10 on scholarship. Currently we have 11 for next year. So I'm going to tell myself that we're full -- in order to block the impulse to check here every 30 minutes.
I’m guessing seniors like Basile, Bates, and Osun are better next year than Biliew.
But if we miss on transfers that can start, a 5-star like Biliew would be a fun contingency.
Maybe. But as a new coach, trying to get a foothold in recruiting, you absolutely have to take Biliew over the others, if given the option. The recognition and publicity of signing a 5 star top 10 recruit would be worth it.

Still sounds like he is going to play the circuit this summer and make a decision later this summer. Peach Jam, Nike's most elite event is July 17-24. I'd expect a decision in that area.

Disagree. This is a relic of pre portal transfer era in which high school kids were primarily the only way to get talent. And the only reason you want good recruiting is to have wins/success.
It would depend on the drop off. In this hypothetical, the 5 star is not a starter level like the others, and hence plays a limited bench role in comparison. That can quickly turn into a negative on the recruiting trail. KU types can overcome that. Certainly not a tangible impact as much as the impact on wins from adding a starter
I'm under the impression that TJ is pretty open, honest and clear in talking about his program with players (that they are going to have to work hard and earn their playing time). If this young man was paying attention to our program this last year, that idea would have been reinforced. That kind of talent is going to find a way into our lineup in 9 out of 10 cases.

Thanks. Wasn't aware of him yet. I see he has us and Nebraska as warm. Yet we still have people seeing nothing wrong with Fred coaching just 165 miles away from this young man and trying to keep him from ISU.Omaha Biliew, Wake Forest Demon Deacons, Power Forward

Fred's probably got next year to prove it or lose it. Don't see he's got much to sell at this point.
Getting Osun out of Gainesville without a commitment is a win.
Time for TJ work his magic and show the opportunity ISU can offer is the right choice.
