John Wilkins to visit isu this weekend

[Future Walk-On]

Maybe he deleted all of you guys because of your Bradley ties and didn't want any other school and the NCAA sniffing into tampering by Bradley with a recruit. So maybe Bradley is #1 and he wants to sever all ties on f/b so nobody can cry "foul".

OH **** duh!

I hope you are right though!

Iowa State now seems to be going hard after a very similar juco player (from Iowa), Will Clyburn...
They offered him back in Feb. but are coming on strong and are among Clyburn's finalists..
Clyburn has eliminated Northern Iowa but still has SLU & Wichita...
Maybe this means they have moved on and may no longer pursue JW?

Supposedly Clyburns best friend is going to Iowa State, so that is where he will likely end up. I would assume them signing Clyburn means they are out on Wilkins.

SLU doesn't have a scholarship open right now, but things could change I suppose.

SLU just had a player this week.. can't remember the name.
He played in the first 6 or 7 games and never again.

Did JW take a offical vist to Bradley this year?

[Big Mike]

I do not think JW has never used his "offficial visit" with the Braves yet, unles it was his very 1st visit a year and a half ago when he meet Pres. Glasser......his most recent visit was an Un-official because he brought a guest(girlfriend). I believe "official" visits can only include family or guardian!

Jeff Reid. He suffered a really bad concussion against ND and has had head aches ever since. Transferring to be closer to home in Google, Kansas.

They filled his spot with Rob Loe, 6-11 from New Zealand.

I think JW will be a redbird. Your last stop or your first are usually signifigant.

As much as I would like to disagree with the ISU fan I think last visit is big. I still think he wants to go to a bigger school if he can though.

When he mentioned other interest because of coaching changes I started to think oh no here we go again, but he said he thinks he might not even be interested. Maybe JW just wants to make a decision and be done with this long ride too. I imagine he does.

Interesting all the below comments at this point say he would be good on normal year and he might be a good player, but he isn't what they need right now. They all seem to want a true big. Saying these aren't normal times and that they need other things right now. JW has had to see all these different times that Indiana fans have said they don't really want him. Come where you're wanted JW!

Clyburn and Wilkins are both wanted by the staff. With that said, I don't know that they will get either. But they want both.

FB = probably his wise move to eliminate possible infractions by boosters.

RE: Flash. BU is no longer able to host his exposure camp as was originally the plan. Rule changes concerning this type of event on D1 campus caused this change although i think the BU staff wasn't aware of this early on.

not one single word about Wilkins on any other message board...
the IU people have forgotten about him and hope they get someone else,
and surprisingly, even tho he's supposed to be over at ISU right now, there's not a word and they don't seem to even care...

[Braves4Life]

It's really funny (and kind of sad) how all these other message boards (ISU, ISU, & IU) have all these negative or neutral comments about Wilkins while here at BF.com all we see are mostly positive, love-fest posts about the kid. Bradley fans have been gushing over this kid for the past year and even planned to roadtrip to support him at Juco.

For the life of me I simply cannot understand why he would not want to come to BU and be our savior.
