Finalist are Kentucky, MSU and Alabama. Been a lot of Kentucky talk lately with him.

Should choose MSU if he wants an Education. The other two would work if he just wants a year of college basketball and no classes to take.***

It would be great to get him, but the other schools have proved to make freshman one and done. I would love to get him but I doubt he makes his decision off education

Like most talented HS basketball players. Give em a minor league and level the playing field for those schools who can’t get the one and dones.

When is actual signing day? With this FBI probe, we could end up getting him later, perhaps. Bama and Kentucky tied up in it

Just curious ... why do you think Alabama and Kentucky offer inferior educations? Everything I've seen says they're pretty good for public institutions. Do they cater to athletes? Yes. Do we? Yes.

Suspect you meant this for me since I was referring to him being a Student Athlete at MSU vs. a non-student athlete at UK or UAT. I am sure that both of those schools have great academics for those basketball players who WANT to be a student. They just don’t cater to THAT particular basketball player, especially UK.

I always thought that the reason folks go to college was to prepare them for a really good job when they get out. There are a lot of Alabama football players and Kentucky basketball players who have gotten really good jobs playing their respective sports.

Probably not as good as the job you currently have, of course. But good in a relative sense.
