First welcome aboard Evan Turner! Glad Thad worked the magic that Matta's with you.
As for the Illinois meltdown and Wake - consider this.
Wake Forest now has ZERO small forwards offered on the list of available prospects currently or previously listing
Wake as a potential home - that's right ZERO.
Barring a miracle of biblical proportions Darquavis Tucker is L'ville bound.
If V-Tech offers Dominique Sutton first they could easily take him into their fold over WF (who signaled so early their preference for someone not named Dominique). St. Joes has already offered Idris Hilliard, and other name East Coast schools are on his interest list. Below that you are (no offense intended to other kids) looking at strictly developmental prospects.
Illinois is similarly impacted by this. Evan was clearly their plan A-minus with Darquavis stating highest interest in Louisville. Now that Evan is firmly verballed to the Buckeyes they are left scrambling - though with a somewhat longer dance-card to work through.
Man, what interesting times for Buckeye athletics. Interesting indeed.
