'15 MO SG Landry Shamet (Verbal to Wichita State)

Pretty great final four to be a part of. Each has its own appeal, but we are clearly the best choice...

Shamet is the target. We are still in it. Going by position, looks like we are #2. That's a wild guess/mild joke.

He's gonna visit Boulder in the fall compared to Kansas ST and Illinois. Tad is a great closer with guys who visit. Solid chance here.

hamet will make his way to Boulder to visit with Tad Boyle and the Buffaloes on the weekend of September 12th.

"It's the people there, I've been fortunate to create a great relationship with them and the coaching staff," said Shamet. "Playing with the guys and talking to them on my unofficial visit they seemed cool. Basketball there is on the rise and the thing about me is I've been kind of under recruited and under the radar. I like to play with a chip on my shoulder and they are kind of like that too."

Visits Wichita, then, us, then KSU, then Illinois in early october.
 
Some correctly pointed out that it's mostly what the school can do for one's NBA prospects but, also concluded that CU has little to offer there.

Meanwhile, Meyers Leonard is the only IIlini to be drafted since 2007.

The funnier one is the poster saying, "yeah but what does it look like in January?". January? Really? Somebody from the middle of Illinois wants to compare weather and views in the middle of January???

To be fair, others posted and essentially made that point.

And, unfortunately for a Blazer fan, he still looks lost.

Did they also point out that Colorado is pretty much the winter sports center of the US (X Games, et al) and we get over 300 days of sunshine a year? The feeling of a winter is a lot different when the sun is shining and snowstorms make the people around you happy. I've lived in Illinois, Kansas, NJ and PA -- winter is a completely different and better animal in CO.

Some people pointed that out but others countered with the fact that a college hoops player isn't going to be hitting the slopes on the weekend. Overall, it's a pretty low key thread with a good discussion.

That's true, for sure. This is why I put it like I did. Folks in Colorado are happy in the winter. Didn't Colorado and Boulder recently get ranked as happiest state and city in the country? (It's hard to keep up with all the "best of" lists that our community tops.)
 
When I was looking at colleges, I considered the University of Illinois. Then I visited the University of Illinois. After that, I no longer considered the University of Illinois.

There's a reason that so many of us came to CU from Illinois and never left.

Yep. Same for me. All my friends talk about how beautiful the quad is there. Yes, it is, but that's the ONLY part of campus that's not ugly, plus Champaign-Urbana is a hole.

That campus is flat, boring, and drab. It's like if Thornton was a college

I live in Champaign and can tell you that the winters are 3000x better in Boulder than here in Illinois.

Holy crap. Way to go Landry!! The light just switched on for me (as a guy that has no business judging players based on film...)
