Ben McLemore

[Milo]

Looks like McLemore is down to us and MU.

Has anyone heard what's going on with him?

Re: Ben McLemore

He's gonna pick us or MU and sign Nov. 10-17, the early period.
I don't think he's related to Mike Anderson, so that gives us a decent chance.
It would be painful to lose this one. The results may say otherwise, but it seems like Self has been missing on some targets lately. He is way better at this coaching and recruiting business than me. I'll take his word and style because I like the product he puts on the floor.

I would take everything said by "people with sources" or "in the know" with a grain of salt like usual, because no one knows anything, just like every recruiting story ever.

Recruiting: Ben McLemore, a 6-foot-5 guard from Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Va., completed his recruiting trip to Missouri on Monday.

“I’m going to wait a few days and then call my mom. I’m going to let her know where I want to go to college,” McLemore told Rivals.com. He’ll sign with KU or MU in the Nov. 10-17 signing period

Re: Ben McLemore

early reports were that the MU visit was just for show. He wanted to go to KU for a long time (said KU was his "Dream School"), but his mom wanted him to stay close to home and go to MU. He's getting a lot of pressure to pick the Tigers. His mom has apparently said that she would accept any decision he makes, so that is good news. Id say 75-25 KU now.

Question: Has anyone in the history of the world ever literally rolled around the floor laughing? It seems like a really odd way to express joy.

The new news is that there is no new news.

Christ. Is this what we're calling journalism these days?

Right-- but the info is all based on the second hand interviews and a non-commital answer from Ben. It makes me upset that I'm so interested in the decisions of 17 year old athletes.

Re: Ben McLemore

He's suppose to make a verbal committ this weekend.

Hopefully we'll get some good news on the recruiting trail for a change.

She wants me to come home and talk face-to-face with the family (including his uncle).”
