any news on when/if hes visiting and how likely we are to grab him?
I think our chances are fading, but I trust in Lavin and the kid is Lavin's most connected city. It's just so difficult to fend of schools like Kansas at this point when we haven't made the tournament in eight years.
I wouldn't say our chances are fading, as there hasn't been much talk about his recruitment on any front (even from the respective schools who are recruiting him). He's still in the midst of setting up officials.
Kansas will be a formidable team to fend off for his services, but it seems we're in a good position to land Pelle.
Some of these kids like to keep things close to the vest before making an announcement. Remember, it seemed like there was a lull with Sampson and then his name resurfaces when he visited Tennessee.
Basically, a week or so later he commits to St. John's. Maybe, Pelle waits until the spring before he decides on a college. I'm sure we'll hear something from Pelle and his camp before this month is over.
