If not tomorrow then does he commit to the boilers down the road?

I like our chances before the week is out . Total guess but I think he commits and reclassifies .
Its been pretty quiet in regarda to how the visit actually went. Any word?
Though your typical "guesses" have some foundation. Any thing more to elaborate?Good golly I hope so!
Painter is holding the Taylor scholarship he may have gotten Ryan Welage who transferred from San Jose to Xavier and another kid who chose Iowa St . But mainly just a guess . A Illinois paywall guy I know wrote an article about Okoro having Tutors help in his bid to reclassify he also speculated it was related to Purdue . Of note is Emmanuel Dowuona I see little to no difference in these two players . I am told that Dow has been logging endless hours working on his outside shot and open court ball handling . My source 100% would know exactly what Dow has been doing .Though your typical "guesses" have some foundation. Any thing more to elaborate?

I like Dow too, but I wouldn’t say he and Okoro are similar. Dow is a little more skilled, but Okoro is more explosive and athletic. If we can take both, we should and worry about rotation later. I myself prefer TJD, but Okoro is way better than a consolation prize. If Okoro is smart, he should come to Purdue. What he lacks is exactly what our staff has been teaching JJ, Hammons, Biggie, and Haas.
C'mon, Okoro is much better than ED. Kansas doesn't just offer anyone.Of note is Emmanuel Dowuona I see little to no difference in these two players .

Who has ED?Hadnt seen that ED video. Man among boys there. Soft touch as well.
Rivals is much better than ESPN for high school basketball rankings IMO. Okoro is 42nd in 2019 on Rivals. He likely won't drop that much if he reclassifies to 2018. ED isn't even ranked in the top 150 in 2018 and is 30th among centers. There's a big difference between Okoro and ED. Not that I don't think ED can be good in several years, but Okoro is a different level recruit Painter doesn't often get.Espn has Okoro at 34......Dow at 87.......so, yeah, there is some separation there
Position rank: Okoro 8............Dow 11........not as much separation
Hope they both BTFU!
Agreed. 247 has Okoro at 40 and Dow at 161. They aren't comparable.Rivals is much better than ESPN for high school basketball rankings IMO. Okoro is 42nd in 2019 on Rivals.

From videos I’ve seen they both look similarly talented defensively but Okoro is much more polished offensively. Better post moves, better jump shot, better handles, ability to beat people off the dribble and score at the rim. I’m no expert but it’s pretty apparent that Okoro is noticeably better right now. That doesn’t mean ED can’t improve and be as good or better but that’s where things are today. All in my opinion of course.
There was no drop in his ranking on 24/7 - he was always in that range.I think the Big drop in Dow 's ranking was because he wasn't playing until the end of the season. Out of sight ,out of mind.
I think you might have been thinking of Trevion Williams. At one time he was top 75 (I think) and then he got hurt and put on the weight and his rating slidThere was no drop in his ranking on 24/7 - he was always in that range.
Pretty sure ESPN was the only one who had Dow as a top 100 kid. He was maybe 125-150 range elsewhere.I know Dow was in the 80 to 125 range in all of the rankings when he committed.
if they linked Toto's 'Africa' it would be much more foretelling...
