BU recruit- class of 2014- Larry Austin

Maybe, but I predict his stock will rise in the next two years, already getting serious looks from Illinois and Mizzou (offer?). Just a sense that he'll probably try and go somewhere as high profile as possible.
 
Brand new Larry Austin story & interview..
http://illinois.scout.com/2/1190196.html

"Recruiting wise everything is going well,??? said Austin. ???Tennessee, Oklahoma
State, Xavier, Kentucky, Illinois is talking to me again, Missouri, Bradley, DePaul,
and Memphis have all been calling. I think it is going good right now.???

Great -- he still lists BRADLEY prominently there among the big boys!!


Also Larry says the Illini have dropped off a bit but aren't out of contention...

"..John Groce and the new staff at Illinois are beginning to pick things up
again with Austin on the recruiting trail.

???At first they told me I wasn??™t a priority, but then they saw my new video
and now they say I am a priority,??? said Austin of the Illini. ???They want me to
come to campus as soon as possible.."
 
Update on Larry Austin, Jr. who BU was and still is very interested in...
(and who Bruce Weber & Jarrance Howard are also very hard after..)

At one time Illinois was also strong after Austin, Jr. - but it appears from this current story...
that now John Groce and Illinois have maybe dropped off in their efforts to land him even tho he might be the best guard available in the state....
as after watching him several times - they still haven't offered.

Austin holds an offer from Bradley, but rumor has it that his final considerations are among...
....Illinois, Oklahoma State, Missouri, Memphis, Stanford, Florida State, and SMU

I think he should pick Bradley, stay close to home, be part of something special, talk his buddy Peyton Allen into choosing Bradley also, and then have a great career.
But I think we're a long, longshot - and that it'll be between Illinois, Mizzou, SMU, and KSU and I think his prior relationship with Bruce Weber will be the key and he will choose K-State.
Bruce Weber has been sitting in the stands at Larry's games since middle school!
 
Larry Austin surprised many by committing to Tennessee....
we were his first offer when he was a freshman but he blew up after that...
 
but even that site admits many thought it was K-State until just minutes before he verballed - remember - he walked into the room wearing orange clothes - so it was easy to know before he stepped to the mic
