A Pitt crystal ball, huh? i think quette's our biggest threat imo. The "good" news is based on his visit dates...he plans to sign during the early period. Which i suspect helps our chances. It might be wise to re-read how much RJ learned/liked when he was on his official to g-town. That left an impression on him.

I do agree on Marquette but I think he set this visit schedule so he could get the visits in before his HS basketball season starts...

Obviously things change, but he has said in the past that he plans to commit in the Fall. So you’re both potentially correct!

This tweet quotes him as saying he plans on committing next year, in another interview on Rivals he says he doesn't think he'll wait till next April to choose a school... We'll know soon enough...

I took this as meaning next school year (so this fall), but who knows

I wonder how the blue bloods missing out on Nix will affect their pursuit of RJ. Some may put the press on RJ now because he is next on their list...but I think Ewing made a connection and most NY ballers have less coach/school worship than southern ballers....imo

(from a tweet by @tiptonedits that I couldn't get to embed on my dying laptop) Alexander's probably going to commit to St. John's. Would love it if he went to Pitt...

Yes UCLA is a blue blood but they aren't on RJs final list....but other blue bloods that are on RJ also were on Nix's final list....

Correction hoyazeke, UCLA "was" a blueblood in the Wooden years. Since then, not so much, but fanbase has visions of glory returning. They have gone through a number of big name coaches and five star players since Johnny W. but very little to show for it.

But nowhere near the UCLA expectation. What was a dynasty is now but an aberration, and they are doing so-so with darn good players. Let me add---10 championships in 12 years, 7 in a row. They feel deserving, the counter to U$C football in LA, but not anymore.

IMHO, UCLA is not a blue blood anymore. They lost the consistency of elite results about 40 years ago, around the time of their 1980 finals loss to Louisville, notwithstanding their 1995 championship.
With very few exceptions, Kansas, Kentucky, UNC, and Duke have been Top 10 nearly every year since that time. Michigan State not far behind.

Indiana fans for the most part still believe they are part of the BB convo.
