At this point I wouldn't be surprised at anything. As someone mentioned earlier; none of these schools were listed a few months ago, so it could be a kid just enjoying what's afforded to him. He gets five visits officially, so he takes them all. He's also close enoug to some of these schools in his ear, so he drives over. It also could be a situation where he's waiting on the highest bidder. Again, Loui$ville and their bags, L$U and their bags and now $MU and their bags. You can't tell me these 17-18 year old kids know anything about Larry Brown the vagabond of coaches. Hell, one of the kids at the elite 24 didn't even know who his coach was in Pearl Washington. If EB is on the take then we won't get him...that simple.

I'm not as inclined to believe ERob is holding his hand out. More like the people advising him.

I'm not as inclined to believe ERob is holding his hand out. More like the people advising him. +100 I too think the folks around him aren't looking out for his best interests.. louisville.247sports.com/Article/Future-frontcourt-duo-1450532014 Riverdale Baptist (MD) center Chinanu Onuaku is visiting L'ville this weekend 8/31
The biggest remaining question about Louisville's 2014 recruiting class is which frontcourt prospects Rick Pitino can entice to join perimeter stars Jaquan Lyle and Shaqquan Aaron.
Chinanu Onuaku is set to officially visit Louisville this weekend. It could be Chinanu Onuaku and Jaylen Johnson, a pair of Top 65 big men with considerable upside. Onuaku, rated the No. 6 center nationally by 247Sports, is scheduled to visit Louisville Aug. 31. Johnson, rated the No. 55 prospect nationally by 247Sports, will visit Louisville September 20.
"I think Onuaku is a good fit for Louisville," 247Sports Scouting Director Jerry Meyer said. "I think he plays the five in college, and projecting, I think he and Jaylen Johnson would be a great interior combo and bring different things to the table."
The article doesn't even mention Elbert, he's higher ranked than both of them and he's supposed to visit the same weekend as Johnson.. It just doesn't seem like Pitino & crew are very interested in EB but he's insisting on giving them play..

Ugh, no doubt Kenya Hunter is pulling him to Nebraska. Let's hope Elbert realizes he will sink out there with no other talent around...

There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to these schools. Seems to be all over the map.

Chukwu just popped to provy, so the need for a big intensifies.

How many officials does he have left? SMU, TCU and Ga Tech were officials? I'm thinkin LSU wasn't, but not sure. Is Nebraska an official; I would hope so sine they dont offer much hoops wise.

Short excerpt from ESPN Insider article insider.espn.go.com/blog/ncbrecruiting/on-the-trail/So Nebraska this weekend, and in a couple weeks now he's taking a visit to A&M. Does this guy actually want to play basketball in college, or does he just want to go through the motions for a turd of a program wrapped in the gold leaf of football money?

Football money helps pay for recruiting visits, oh wait most div1 programs run at a loss financially. Either way, who wouldn't take a free, front row ticket to Bama vs A&M. Hope he is just a smart get getting the most out of his visits.

I think he still comes, but is enjoying the process. Just my opinion.

Yeah, as a recruit, I think it's silly not to take all five officials if they are all legit options. Why not see all that is out there before making a decision?
On the flip, I hope Gtown is a good fit for LJ given he committed without even visiting. He took an unwise approach IMO.

Robinson plans to take all of his visits and he says a trip to Lincoln is next on his agenda. "I have four more visits planned and the next one is to Nebraska next weekend," he said. "After that I am going to plan a few more visits and then hopefully by November I will be ready to sign somewhere." After the Tech visit, Robinson says four programs are standing out to him. "Right now I like Georgia Tech, Ohio State, Georgetown and Nebraska, but there are some other schools I am still considering as well. - See more at: georgetown.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1543891#sthash.hfiArBZ9.dpuf
