Southern Illinois offered Alec Peters this morning!

Decision This Week?

Alec Peters might be close to a decision.
His family wants him to stay close to home.
He visits Illinios State tomorrow, and the redbirds have made him their top target. It could go down then.

Seems like we a obvious choice to me. Unless he wanted to try a real big school. I would also guess ISU.

whoa.... -- breaking news....Alec Peters is NOT visiting ISU today as has been reported by some - LINK

Those reports are in error - instead, Alec was sitting at home by the phone fielding a phone call from Butler's Brad Stevens -
and getting an offer from BUTLER...and now he's in the process of arranging a quick trip there..

whoa -- could this be the offer Alec was waiting for before he pulls the trigger??

WEEK just had a video report on Alec

After getting offered by St Louis and Boston College, the SLU scout site interviewed him. It was pretty clearly implied that his preference was butler if it became an option.

Alec Peters received offers from Butler and Western Michigan today. He is up to a total of 19 offers. According to Jim Mattson, Peters is not in a hurry to decide-

but BOTH Taphorn & Cohn had publicly said they would aim to decide by end of August or September - and yet days after saying that, both pulled the trigger considerably earlier...

[tornado]

apparently Alec had heard that someone from ISU was saying there are rumors he'd verbal to ISU...

I was under the impression that is was in response to this, given he wrote that moments after it was entered.

2013 6-7 SF Alec Peters Washington (IL) picked up an offer from Butler. http://goo.gl/OcINu Would be surprised if he does not commit soon!

----------
He had just spoken with him days before for Rivals.

Of course spots are fleeting and someone could take the spot that Peters was offered for, but if it remains open long enough? Meaning no disrespect to ISU, but that's not something they can win.

Butler gets a verbal from 6'7" Andrew Chrabascz.
He sounds like more of a power forward than Peters.
However speculation on Butler's board is the last scholarship will be held for a point guard.

[Indy_BB]

That is probably right. That offer was never going to have much shelf life. But it probably accomplished one of the ends it was intended.

So you're speculating that they offered Peters to pressure the other kid? Wow. Butler would have been a good fit, actually. BU missed the boat on this kid, no idea how we didn't get on him a year ago--wasn't difficult to see his potential.

[Indy_BB]

No I'm sure he was offered on his own merit. The timing and publicity of the offer was just such that it would be hard for the kid who was offered early July and was visiting that weekend wouldn't be effected. This happens all the time, it's just a really public game of musical chairs

Alec Peters just got a Pac-12 offer
