Andre Wesson - 2016 Offer

Well, I hope we are not doing our recruiting off of a mix tapes. No question, Andre is the more sought after recruit.
97, not so sure about that. After all, Aleem has a P5 offer so sought after by Andre. OSC
 
On a positive note (for them), Rutgers isn't in last place in the Big 10. They're 0-12, but Minnesota is 0-13! Nice hire of Pitino's son by Norwood....
 
Need the alum from espn to go on a rant just like he did for gameday
Totally McShay could do it and he could pull the stunt of the throat clearing aside - Wesson a Spider - so we would not get in trouble with the NCAA because McShay could claim he was clearing his throat.

The irony is if Wesson gets his P5 offer, we probably aren't getting him. Whereas, if he doesn't, I think we do land him. But yeah, Rutgers is P5 and name only. We should be insulted if Aleem chooses Rutgers over us.

no we shouldn't. just like no school should be embarrassed if a prospect chooses UR over them. each kid is making a huge decision. a lot of factors go into that decision. sometimes it just feels right in your heart, even if your head says something else. my advice ... go with your heart. if that means we win ... great! if that means we lose out, so be it.

Correct. Except in this case. What idiot would choose to play basketball at Rutgers??

The only Jersey kids that go to Rutgers are the ones that don't get in to Princeton or UR. :)

Not a whole lot to like from a Spider perspective in the latest update...OSU still looking at him and apparently wants to see a couple more games before a possible offer. Unsurprisingly seems enamored with possibility of playing for OSU alongside his brother.

Apparently X has offered as well...speaks highly of them but hasn't been able to get down to a game yet.

And finally, he's considering a prep year.

Yep, none of that is good news.
 
Certainly not good signs, but as they say, it's not over until it's over
 
Seems even the OSU fans don't think they'll offer him. But if he goes to a prep school, we're done.

"Agreed. Save the scholarship for Markell Johnson. He looks like a beast."

According to a source close the Andre, he does have a Xavier offer, but they aren't really recruiting him. If Andre was smart, he would realize that these P5 schools don't really want him. He is their backup plan.
 
if he preps I think that means he's been offered at OSU for the following year. puts him on schedule with his brother.
not over yet.

So what does that mean about XU? I mean, if he has an offer, he's being recruited and can take the offer, correct?

I'm presuming this means they've offered him but don't expect him to ever see much playing time if he takes the scholarship.

Exactly. They also offered his brother on the same day, IMO it was a ploy to try to land his brother.
 
How weird. Kaleb is already verballed to OSU. Seems like a weird/desperate move to try to get him to uncommit and get both of them to go to X. I guess stranger things have happened...

Believe Xavier offered last summer, before Kaleb committed. I could be wrong though.
 
Andre and Kaleb were also seen sitting behind the OSU bench at tonight's game.
 
Or maybe people are in his ear telling him to hang in there the top offer will come in and he can succeed at the P% level.
 
He's Coe arly waiting on a "better" offer. I don't think that means we are out but as any kid would want, he's looking for the best program and opportunity.

I think we are a longer shot now that X has offered. Big East and closer to home.
 
All aboard the Aleem Ford train
Ford hasn't exactly jumped on our offer either!
Wesson said all along he'll decide after the season. let it end and we'll see. of course it's less likely after sitting behind the OSU bench and after being offered by XU. it would be tough for any kid to not stare into the brighter lights. but it wouldn't shock me at all if he decides UR just feels right, much like the others in our next class did. we've got a great locker room of teammates and an outstanding university here.
if you sell our chances short here, I feel you're selling short the decisions made by the other recruits already in this class and the next, too.
