Hope he chooses the Zags... but not getting my hopes too high.

Right with you. He visited Alabama this last weekend and Illinios this coming weekend, so when you look at school size of the rest of his visits we are the major outlier.

He'll be at 2nd fiddle programs to football with Alabama and Texas A&M.

Who knows what is going to happen to Arizona after the Adidas case is over?

The Illinois program is at least respectable.

I'm not sure why, but I think he's picking Texas A&M. Hope it's the Zags though, obviously.

Probably because 247 crystal ball has 5 of their 9 experts picking A&M.

Flipside to that is he'd be BMOC at GU, heck he'd be the talk of the entire city of Spokane.

Size of the school isn't what worries me as much as the draw of a local team.

I didn't even look at that, my apologies.

Would he though? Next to Anton Watson and Arlauskas? Aren't they also Top-50 recruits?

I've read the Illinois board several times and they think they have zero chance.

I find it unseemly for some self absorbed high school kid to have a news conference to announce his choice of what college will be so fortunate as to have him play there ....

From what I have been reading I think it's a 3 team race between A&M, Alabama, and GU. I personally believe that GU is probably a slight favorite simply because of his fit and getting him to the pros. I have no other reason to believe this and I am trying not to get my hopes up, so I tend to look at reasons why he would go elsewhere. I think this recruiting class will end up with Brock, Anton, Martynas, Drew, and Pavel, maybe the best recruiting class in school history.

They literally all do this nowadays. Even lower level commits.

Flip side: this kid has worked extremely hard throughout his life and now has the opportunity to play at the next level and is coveted by many top colleges. Now he wants to share this moment with family and friends as well as show his pride. I don't find anything wrong with it. He seemed to be a class act throughout the entire recruiting process.

I can see your point... but even my kid's HS had a signing days where athletes committed to schools ranging from D3 to D1 and local press has been invited in the past. JMHO... it promotes seeking higher education to others. In terms of kids like Timme and others, let us be honest here. People are waiting to hear their choice, sometimes a LOT of people are waiting to hear. Why not answer people's questions in a public setting? I don't think it is self absorbed but rather a means to an end to let people know your choice.
