I'm not counting on Bobo.. I hear he is aiming higher.

I'm not counting on Bobo.. I hear he is aiming higher.

Kind of shows how I can be blinded as a fan. I liked Fields better and we already had Bell. I thought Bobo was not quite a high enough level recruit to take.

But he is thinking about a higher level.

they all aim higher - how many times have we seen it from DeAaron Williams to Nate Minnoy to Josh Tabb to Brandon Lee to Devan Bawinkle to Nick Fruendt - and they ride the pines..

what gets me is that even the mid-level talented kids like Buovac & Brzoja - are listening to their Croatian advisors and playing the same game..
They need to pick a school based on where they'll play and what they saw & liked and lock in!

Several schools contacting Bobo Drummond. Cincinnati and Kansas State have the strongest interest.

SIU released him, but put restrictions barring transfer to other MVC schools. Bobo may appeal this unfair restriction.

What about Bell makes people think is more of a combo guard than a true PG? I'm curious, having not seen him play.

Evan Daniel of ScoutHoops is reporting-
Bobo Drummond is now officially back on the market.
According to La Porte (Ind.) La Lumiere coach Alan Huss, Drummond, a 5-foot-10, 170-pound guard, received a full release from his Letter of Intent with Southern Illinois.
Drummond, a three-star lead guard, is reportedly wide open at this stage in his recruitment.

If the release from the LOI is indeed a "full release", as his coach Alan Huss is reporting, it seems maybe Bobo might not have any restrictions where he can go.

Funny, the MVC was good enough for NBA Kyle Korver....

If you got the talent, you'll get to the NBA no matter where you go...And, you'll get all the star treatment and post graduation opportunities in Peoria/Central Illinois as you want.

Give us a chance BOBO! You can always transfer out after two years if you don't like it here!

a media source at SIU says this about Bobo Drummond's release from his LOI at SIU...
"Sources close to the situation tell us that the release will come with
restrictions of no Valley schools, no schools on SIU's schedule, or Kansas
State--although SIU has not confirmed that."

Bobo has gone on a visit to Wright State - they are really showing interest and he can probably play there right away..

[tornado]

Wright State now seems to be out of the running for Bobo as they just landed a fine PG prospect that they call
"a coach on the floor"
