I guess we will all see in 28 hours. Wondering if the crystal ball predictions will start to change?

DC_Rams,
What does it mean when this Miami guy has only 51 predictions and has hit 33? Why would a guy from Miami decide to predict a player who has narrowed to Rhode Island, Xavier and WVU? And why would he wait until the day before to make his prediction? Do you think he is less credible than the guys with many more predictions? or is he just newer to the game?
As compared to a Jerry Meyer who has 703 out of 953 and picked Xavier?
or Jeff Ermann who has 167 of 265 and picked Rhode Island?

Interesting that Jeff Ermann and Josh Stern are both from InsideMD Sports but pick URI and Xavier respectively.

DC,
Just looked at Jeff Ermann other prediction for Landers Nolley (a player we looked at early on) who is announcing 8pm this Saturday.
Ermann is predicting Illinois and the only 1 predicting them. The other 11 are predicting VaTech!!
Just interesting that Ermann is also the only 1 for URI (having switched this week from WVU) vs 6 for Xavier

I hope Ermann ends up right for Rhody!!

Going out drinking with my wife after work tomorrow at 4:00. Told her hopefully we're drinking to celebrate rather than drinking to drown our sorrows with what could have been. Than rinse and repeat for Sunday.

If the latter, Dan will move on to the next target(s) and we'll be alright.

My guess is the Miami guy is hopping in with everyone else predicting Xavier hoping it will improve his numbers. Even though Miami was in on Harris at one point I can't imagine Miami knows where he's going, much less a Miami "insider".

I just checked the Crystal Ball to see who the Miami guy was. He isn't a Miami insider.

He is part of a blog that basically does what people do here. Repeat things insiders say on their sites and give an opinion based on what they want to see happen.

For example "Oh Jarvis Garret is going to dominate the A10 and Dowtin will never see the court." Then something completely different plays out.

The true insider at Miami wouldn't know whats going on with this kid, so this guy definitely doesn't. Basketball rumors and basketball anything type news is severely lacking down there. They are also focused on the FBI down there. Not kids they might have wanted from Maryland. There are whispers that their basketball might get slammed. Or I should say likely to get slammed.

If they all knew before the announcement then it would be 100%, so I truly believe those guys are just picking the school that is more reputable/recently relevant.

You guys are seriously going to go crazy trying to read into every little tweet, like, prediction, post, etc. etc. We'll know on Friday, until then everyone is just guessing.

If he is meeting with family and friends today to discuss this, as has been reported, he might actually not have decided yet. I'm sure he's leaning one way or another, but supposedly his family is going to be a big influence on his decision.

Joe, can you post Snow’s follow up comments in the thread.

Snow’s whole Post was contradictory. One line he has no clue, the next it could be either, then the only concrete thing he has is XU. It makes no sense.

I gave a good chuckle at the bottom comment. Really zeroing in on the most important question: is Jermaine a butt guy or a boob guy?

Yeah, he follows tons of girls. He's a teenager. So do all the other high school kids. He only follows only 2 college head coaches, Huggins and Hurley.......oh wait, maybe that isn't good.

Jermaine just replied to a tweet from a Rhode fan in regards to him following some Rhody folks. Probably means NOTHING, just trying to put myself in a prized recruits shoes....would I ignore or entertain the fans of the school I’m about to spurn the next day?

Why else? Follows no one XU related except for a former AAU teammate.

Harris has a lot to consider. Xavier is a great program, has excellent facilities, sustained NCAA success, and loyal fans in addition to being in a higher profile league. The school however came after him late only when other options went by the wayside. They may be hot for him now but that could all change if they get other front court players. He is far more likely to be over-recruited during his time at X than at URI.

Latest from Brian Snow it is going to be a nail biter. As of 43 min ago he posted "All I can tell you pretty decisively right now is that folks in Cincinnati as well as Kingston are on pins and needles, no one seems to know."

That "higher profile league" needs to change. There are only 4 schools with a higher enrollment than URI.

You forgot to say they have 31 games scheduled. That will be the deal breaker. :D

He has to make the right decision for him, hopefully that's URI. Clearly we have made it clear over time that we want him in our program more than Xavier does, that much is crystal clear.

I'm thinking that since Brian Snow lives in Cincinnati and he's hearing nothing about a Xavier recruit, that is good news for us. At least that's what I'm hoping.
