Well, don't expect the K-State recruiting writer to throw SLU a bone!

There's probably still some interest, but SLU recruiting coverage to let "the world" know about it is nearly non-existent.

Usually we'll hear about visits or hear some chatter from one of the board insiders who post periodically about increasing interest from a local recruit. Perhaps this will be different from how things have gone down previously, but there certainly aren't any signs at this point that the kid is strongly considering SLU.

Never count out T Ford but Bradford appears to be trending away from SLU.

Anyone know how Luke's visit to Loyola went? I wish he would have visited in winter. Smartest decision I ever made was visiting Loyala and DePaul in February. Immediately ruled both schools out.

I never heard a single word, so I guess not impressed?

After visiting SLU how could he be impressed with anyone else.

Like when one reads ?s on a product and someone always post something like I don't know I haven't bought one.

confirms basically what was already known. Still have this one going in K-State’s favor

Bradford is still considering an official to SLU but this one sounds like Mizzou.

Schiffer is a hack. Every player that Mizzzou is recruiting, he tries to give the impression Mizzou is the leader for their services. He wrote an article about a year ago that had Mizzou as the leader for Fletcher, Love and Kasubke. Mizzou isn’t getting any of them.  

I don’t know where Bradford and Mizzou stand, but neither does Schiffer.

I still thinks he ends up at a Catholic school.

Looks like Luke is announcing tomorrow.

Well he made it out of Manhattan without committing.

[brianstl]

Let’s get this done.

Never counting out Coach Ford. 

Would be an absolutely huge commitment.

All three schools have head coaches that are relentless recruiters. Luke would be a great fit at SLU

[Billikenbooster]

We need to win a recruiting war with Weber!!  Come on Luke, we can be greater together!

I feel like Weber won this round.

If we do get Luke, he and Bradford are teammates on the Ramey Fall league so that could benefit us.

Or did he?

Local TV?   Not the baseball hat thing I hope. Then again, Luke can choose to Be a Billiken anyway he wants.

Tweet said it's going to be on his Instagram. Think it's concerning that he said in the article that was posted that he would take some time to decide. Maybe do it a little before his high school season starts. And then right after his k state visit he wants to commit somewhere. Not a good feeling but I know Ford will/ has done everything he can.

Between Rivals and 247, 5 analysts have made predictions and all are Kansas State.

This one ain’t going our way. On to the next...

[Pistol]

SLU and Loyola both got Instagram posts from his visits and K-State didn't, so I'm guessing they get the big commitment one.

I have no idea, but I would guess K-State just based on the timing of everything. He made his top 3 official a couple days ago on his visit and said he'd decide in the coming weeks. Now he's announcing today back at school. It just seems like whatever he saw this weekend made up his mind. It would probably be wishful thinking to believe he hated his visit to K-State and normally announcements right on the heels of a visit are commitments to that most recently visited school.

We'll know in two hours.
