I'm not lying about DePaul. Theyre a resl threat to land the combo. I told you Larrier would go to VCU and he did. I also heard Kasongo will head to Oregon and I still believe that he will. We have our assistants already, thanks.
UConn now involved with Cliff Alexander

You and about everyone else who follows recruiting predicted Larrier to VCU.
I have no idea where Lyle and Alexander end up, but I would bet a lot of money it won't be at DePaul.

Do you have a basis for these guesses?

What do you mean "stay" west. Kasongo was in Kentucky until one and a half weeks ago.

Except Chief, who has inside sources. Chief was adamant that Larrier would be at UConn.

Couple of interesting comments:
Scott Phillips
@phillipshoops
Cliff Alexander: "I've had a couple more schools hit me up like UConn & Oregon." Cliff told me he's interested in both programs.
This was from yesterday. Prior to the quote from his mother and Alexander listing his top 6 schools. Obviously, he has had little contact with UConn so no wonder he wouldn't list them in top 6.
Then there's this:
Jeff Goodman @GoodmanESPN 8m
Cliff Alexander reportedly cut Kentucky from his list today. KU and Michigan State remain teams to beat. http://m.espn.go.com/general/blogs/b...rc=desktop&wjb …
Brian Snow @BSnowScout 6m
@GoodmanESPN You might need to check your sources on that one
Jeff Goodman @GoodmanESPN 4m
@BSnowScout you think Illinois leads?
Brian Snow @BSnowScout 4m
@GoodmanESPN I know for sure your top is not accurate
Alexander himself said Goodman's post was a lie.
This leaves DePaul, Arizona, Memphis, and Illinois for Alexander.
Package deal would only leave DePaul and Memphis. Alexander could go his own way at Illinois and Arizona. Lyle appears to have not many other outlets at all for some reason. UConn, DePaul and Memphis.

Snow says with certitude that Lyle does not have an offer from Kansas.
At this point, it very well may be that Lyle is offered by Memphis, UConn and DePaul.

Why am I not surprised that Goodman had bad information but was confident he was right? He strikes me as a very arrogant media type who thinks he knows everything and is always right.

On the Kansas Board there's a comment that Lyle was suspended from high school 3-4 times for fighting with team mates, grades are an issue, and that Louisville de-committed from him. I take it with a grain of salt because it's third party hearsay.

When it was announced that he had decommitted Paul Biancardi said it was a good thing for Louisville

The gossip I read on Lyle was that grades are his main issue. Memphis is always involved when grades are an issue so that makes sense.
I'm still visiting the board expecting to hear Cassell has committed. Cassell along with Kasongo or Colson and I'm good.

Does the NCAA still allow partial qualifiers? Seems like Ledo could have played at PC if he stayed. In other words, you don't need to go JUCO at all. Then again, if both grades and scores are horrific, you have no other choice.

Yup!
Heard from? Twitter? Analysts? Coaches? Friends? Family? The players? Others? I don't need names but, I've heard could be from some bum on the street.
If it's Twitter or analysts, they are likely guesses.
Kasongo has what west coast ties again?

Can Lyle really play PG? KU is after Oubre as a SG...May not be in market for another SG.

TBD, thats what he wants to be tho. Oubre can play SG/SF depending on who else they have on the team, they can take Lyle with him as well if they want him. It is kind of interesting though that you don't see as many teams throwing offers at Lyle as you did with Snider. That alone leads me to believe that there are some issues with him.

Yeah, I was speculating a couple days ago that there might be some grade issues with Lyle. I wasn't aware that he was suspended three times in high school. I'll gladly take him, though, grade concerns and all.

Well if he actually does have a couple of issues, I don't think there is a better coach in basketball than Ollie to get him on track.

As much as Ithink the world of Ollie, a coach can't baby sit 24X7 or take their test for them. I'm all for talented players but I'd think twice when it comes to recruits with suspect grades and/or character.
