Hope the tears weren’t “I wanted to go to Illinois” tears.
Glad to have you THT. You won’t regret it!

I believe some analysts have suggested his addition would make this a top 12 recruiting class. Does anyone know for sure?
Oh man, this was a huge get. THT might be the best college player in Prohm's 2018 class. Love his game. Welcome to ISU, Talen!
See the earlier posts in this thread. Looks like #21 right now, with the potential to rise as grades change over the rest of their senior seasons (and lately, ISU has had their recruits usually climb).

And don't forget Jakolby. He has great potential that has yet to be shown/tapped.
I want to go on record as I was never worried. 
I'm SUPER PUMPED about THT and this entire recruiting class.
I think we got some great players that will develop into one hell of a team.
Also...that Halliburton $$$! Really just a bonus at this point.

Yessssssir! THT star potential written all over him! Dilly Dilly!
And Shayok... he's going to be our leading scorer next year.
I feel sorry for whatever THT had to go through with the Illinois guys. But, he is in good hands now. He will not regret the decision.
What I love about this highlight reel is that about 1/4 of everyone else's highlights are actually sweet assists from THT:
#15 on Rivals, so I am going with that class ranking. Great class. And I love the size and match up nightmares!
Well, history tells us that it won't work out exactly this way but top-to-bottom, this looks like quite a collection of talent, even if a couple people decide to look for PT elsewhere:
FR: Griffin, Conditt, Horton-Tucker, Haliburton
SOPH: Wiggington, Lewis, Lard
JR: Jacobson, Young, Long
SR: Weiler-Babb, Shayok, Talley

"THT is a 6’5” small forward that is crafty knowing how to get where he wants on the floor to get stuff done. He handles the ball exceptionally well for a wing and has the body control to finish at the cup. What we like most about his game is his ability to be a stat sheet stuffer and contribute in a variety of areas. As a scorer he can put the ball in the hoop at multiple levels. Gets points at the hoop through contact. Works well in the mid-range pulling up off the bounce. He has become a fairly consistent three point threat off the catch over the last year. As a distributor he passes very well from the wing. Overall high IQ and feel for the game seeing the floor. THT is a sound rebounder that clears the defensive glass. With his rebounding and ability to handle he can take the ball off the glass and go down the floor looking to make a play. One of the most complete basketball players in the state."
