Maybe he's just trying to create some buzz for himself...

How would they have second thoughts? They are already here and committed.

Harvey? How many saw that one coming? Who knows...I don't know all the ins and outs of when a kid can or can't transfer but if a player wants out and the coach or university grant it...is that enough to make it happen??

I don't know what happens after a kid enrolls in school. Does that make things more difficult??

Either way I am just speculating and this latest news is certainly very weird and perhaps not even legit. But the player is saying it happened which is only one way of a two way street.

If this isn't legit...he will be the boy who cried wolf twice. And we all know what happens after that. Or was it after the 3rd time...LOL! Either way his cred will be absolutely shot...

Can anyone link an article that says Harvey isn't coming here now. His status shows as enrolled.

Not sure the accuracy of Van Zyle .... JB is currently in Hawaii on a family vacation.... this is odd, I personally do not want Van Zyle, I’m ready to ride with Mika and Saunders

Not much news going on right now but from the looks of things Brannen has been focused on wings and bigs for 2020 (with Saunders already in).

I think he has probably offered 10+ wings and 10+ bigs. I don't know if we are getting close on any of them but it's great to see him going after a few 4 star kids and getting some of them to campus. Sounds like more visits are being set up and possibly a few that we are not involved with anymore.

Brannen says he likes the early signing period so I would guess we will get at least 1 big and 1 wing in that period which will leave us with 2 remaining spots. Then I suppose he can be a little more selective.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him go for a traditional 5 and stretch 4. On the wing a SF and SG. To go with the PG we already have. A full 5 position team in one class would be pretty cool.

Traditional 5's...Kalkbrenner, Hugley types
Combo 4/5's...Loveday, Gibson and Iriel types
PF's...Eason, Fararr, and Traynor is a new one

The wings mostly seem to be in that 6'4-6'6 range with only a couple outside of that. I would imagine a few of these guys could fill either role on the wing. SG or SF

Leal, Gordon, Scrubb, Galloway, Madsen, Calhoun, Walton, Kirby, Johnson etc.

Again some of these may no longer be applicable...but I would guess at least half of them are still in play. I think Leal just trimmed his list.

Yeah Leal trimmed his list down to IU and Stanford. He is pretty much an IU lock. Scrubb would be nice but I read in an article not too long ago, and it had a quote from his dad saying that he might declare for the draft after this year. Can't remember the last time someone was drafted straight from JUCO.
