In addition to the Sun Devils, Billingsley has reportedly attracted an offer from Akron, Dayton, Georgetown, Penn State, Temple, Virginia Tech, West Virginia and Youngstown State. He said he has had Zoom, FaceTime or phone calls with each program and has taken virtual tours with Temple and Georgetown. Jalin Billingsley has reportedly grown to over 6'8" and is really long, athletic, versatile and skilled. He's another prospect that's being slept on. Coach Orr is reportedly the lead. Billingsley has had a couple of Zoom meetings including a virtual tour with the staff. I'm hearing that the Hoyas could be in play here...

1. FIVE-STAR WATSON LEADS THREE MONDAY DECISIONS
An active week of commitment from the 2021 Rivals150 will start off with a bang today as five-star wing Peyton Watson, four-star guard Angelo Brizzi and point guard Bensley Joseph all make their decisions.
A product of Putnam (Conn.) Science Academy, Joseph will be up first to make his decision around lunchtime. The quick playmaker has Boston College, Georgetown, Marquette, Miami and Providence in his final group of five and if his Futurecast is an indicator, the Hurricanes look to be the team to beat.
Set to decide at 7 p.m. ET, Brizzi is one of the very best jump shooters in the class of 2021. It wasn't long ago that Brizzi cut things down to a final eight of Arizona, California, Colorado, Dartmouth, Davidson, Michigan, Northwestern and Villanova. Last week Nova landed top 50 guard Jordan Longino, and it looks good to add Brizzi as well.
A few hours after Brizzi, Watson is set to make his announcement. The highest ranked player scheduled to make a decision this week, the long and athletic five-star wing at Long Beach (Calif.) Poly hasn't ever released a final list but he's been a major Pac-12 target for over a year now. Headed into decision day, we favor UCLA over the likes of Arizona, Oregon and others.
4. FOUR-STAR ADAMS TO DECIDE ON FRIDAY
The final Rivals150 prospect scheduled to decide this week is four-star forward K.J. Adams. Ranked No. 83 nationally, Adams is a strong 6-foot-6 four man from Austin (Texas) Westlake.
Down to a final ten of Arkansas, Baylor, Georgetown, Iona, Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Texas Tech and UCF, Adams will reveal his decision at 7 p.m. CT.
Over the last month or so, Baylor had been thought to be doing well. With their recent commitments, though, the Bears and Adams may no longer be a match. The Big 12 is still prominent on his list and if not Baylor, many have long thought he would stay in the conference. Is that still the case? Could Georgetown be a sleeper to land him? We'll be monitoring all week.

We'll be monitoring all week. Sounds like Miami which is hard for me to understand. Holding out hope for the Hoyas though. Joseph - Riley would be a terrific 1-2 punch in the 2021 backcourt class, hoping Beard sticks in as well. Brizzi to Nova sounds about right. I'm sure the kid will be a killer.

One of the writers for OwlScoop.com, a Temple site on the Rivals network, futurecasted Billingsley to the Hoyas this morning. Not sure whether he knows anything, but given that we have a positional need for a PF with his profile and that he mentions us as one of the schools on him hardest it's worth watching this one closely this week...

The common wisdom is Georgetown is near the top here. He's performed well this summer in limited action fwiw.

I'm with it! We need a power forward. Would love to have gotten Baldwin but Billingsley would fit perfectly plus he's a combo forward which means he can do a little bit of small forward too.

Does this mean we are out on Adams?

Can someone give a little insight into Billingsley's game/attributes?
From that very short scouting video posted on the last page, it seems he's less of a high flying athlete than some of our recent recruits & a little less aggressive/nasty, but seems very fluid, moves well, good skill level & decision-making. He kinda seems more like the combo forward types that JTIII would recruit than the ones we've seen Pat get recently.

Better prospect than Adams. Would be significant.

Getting a 4* PF AND casualhoya.com shutting down is really the dream.

Does this mean we are out on Adams? What I'm hearing is Temple and Arizona State were at the top of Billingsley list early but have both been passed by Dayton and Georgetown recently. Colorado is a dark horse as they are trying to make a late run at him.

Hope we have an open scholarship left for Ryan at this rate! These things tend to work themselves out, so I'm not panicking if we keep signing kids now. Better than our recent past of missing targets and being left holding the bag late in the cycle...

Better prospect than Adams. Would be significant. Why do you say that? I know little about either. Though it seems from the videos Adams has much more bounce.
