Looks like he's visiting in September:

Would love to get either Silva or Enoch. Don't see Enoch happening, but it is nice to be involved in conversations where we're mentioned with the defending national champs competing for the same recruit.

If UConn lands Stone, Enoch could fall to us.
Why not both, Sliva and Enoch?

I doubt he visits South Carolina, us, and Kansas State all in a month. Hopefully we get a visit and not Kansas State.

Next week:

Seems like good news for others on his list, like us.

#132 in Rivals newly released '15 rankings.

The quote from his coach at the end is from before the SHU visit.

now that we're out of enoch, I'm assuming he is priority #1

A lot of Seton Hall fans feel he's a lock to be a Pirate. I feel otherwise at this point.

And others think he's going to Villanova. Let's see how these visits play out.

he's not visiting Nova or at least doesn't have an official planned

I imagine he's been on the campus.

As I said before, couldn't ask for a better week to visit Rhody. Is Silva like an Outerbridge player? We could use some jump in a forward. Either way, let's get the commit on friday. Go Rhody!

Tomorrow's weather is supposed to be much more comfortable too. It's pretty brutal today. I am not a heat lover.

Just trying to make Chris feel welcome!!

Excited for My bro @SilvaObame to Get here later on, visit should be great ! #GOrhody

For those who might want to follow and show support

@SilvaObame

Welcome to RHODY Chris!!!!!!!

Zags says the visit starts tonight. On mobile so can't embed the tweet.

Lets get a commit this weekend!

Don't have any inside info, or any specific reason why, but I've got a real good feeling about this...

He's got an uncle that lives in Boston who he is consulting about his recruitment, so that could be a factor.

Good dinner choice!

Feels like X-Mas eve as a little kid! Damn this recruiting season has been so exciting!!

Did he have the Cheesesteak egg rolls? If so, things look promising

Silva was MVP at this year's Rumble. Impressive stuff.

http://www.hardwoodinsiders.com/2014/06 ... the-bronx/

The Rumble would not have been complete without a thrilling finish. The 17 and under championship game between Sports U and the Iowa Barnstormers provided just that. Both teams were exhausted from playing their Final Four games right before the championship. However, fatigue did nothing to slow either team because they both came out with a high level of intensity. From the start of the game Chris Silva showed exactly why he has been sought after by nearly every college coach on the east coast. Silva displayed his freakish athleticism and high motor every time up and down the court. On the defensive end he contested every shot and on the offensive he got his hands on every offensive rebound. And when he caught the ball in the post he faced up and blew by defenders. Also giving Sports U a big lift was class of 2016 forward Matt Bullock. He has a game that is very reminiscent of Anthony Mason with his ability to handle the ball on the outside coupled with his broad frame that it is nearly impossible for a guard or forward to defend. Even with Silva and Bullock leading the way, Sports U found itself trailing for most of the game. That is when guard Matthew Zignorski stepped up and provided the spark that changed the game. Ziggy’s outside shooting brought Sports U back into the game and helped send the game into overtime.

Even after fighting all the way back to send the game into overtime, Sports U found itself down one-point with seconds left on the clock. Sports U drove the lane, fumbled the ball and managed to get up a shot that went clear over the rim. Fortunately for them the ball floated right into Donovan Wright’s hands and he tipped in the ball as time expired. With Wright’s tip in, Sports U took home the 2014 17 and under Rumble in the Bronx crown with a final score of 54-53. Chris Silva was named MVP. Sports U will next compete in Seton Hall’s team camp.

Worked (in a VERY roundabout way) for Terrell! I was there!

Chris and staff just walked into the RC 5 mins ago. Will be taking a 2 hour tour of all facilities this am and then get some run with the team in the afternoon. Perfect day for it. Beautiful outside and the ladies are out......wearing next to nothing. All you dads out there with college age daughters. idk how u let them out of the house anymore. u have my sympathy.

Haha, lets hope this one goes a little bit smoother!

I'm hearing URI and So Car coming on strong; Seton Hall might be fading; Villanova lurking on the edges; KState unlikely.

If he leaves without a commitment then I think we're in trouble.

can't commit on campus, I also believe I saw somewhere where he said he was going to take all his visits regardless

He's already stated that he will announce on his birthday, which is Sept. 19th.

For what it’s worth, Rhody just popped up as being warm on the “247 Sports” predictions concerning the recruitment of Mr. Silva. Odd as we did not receive the nod from any of the “experts.” We are now positioned between South Carolina and Seton Hall with former frontrunner Villanova falling below Kansas State into the cool zone. Must be based on the official visit I suppose.

As of right now I think it's between us and SC.

Again, 24/7 is a waste of time. Whoever had the last visit
is who they favor.
It's not based on any real information.

247 is not favoring us because of the visit, not one "expert" has picked us (4 Villanova, 2 Seton Hall, 2 So. Car.). The hot, warm, cold indicators are useless on every site.

Every expert on 247 also had Jared Terrell as a BC commit

Not really (http://247sports.com/PlayerInstitution/ ... redictions) but 5 guys did change their prediction from BC to URI a little over a week before Terrell committed.

This seems consistent with what we've all been hearing. He had The Hall as an almost lock for Silva a week ago.

not shocking since he only visited those 3 schools

twisted3829 wrote:not shocking since he only visited those 3 schools

His change in certainty and tone is what is interesting, not necessarily the schools involved.

So did he enjoy the visit?

Be patient, Adam will have something on it

Ace we've been patient for a looooong time. Now we are just anxious
