Lathan Sommerville commits to Washington

Him entering with the do not contact sign is interesting to me. That usually means they know where they are going. It would be hard to imagine that place would be somewhere other than Bradley. Otherwise, why enter with no contact? Test the market and see what you could get. Still, I'm not getting my hopes too high.

Interesting logic. :)

Only a small number of the >1200 players in the portal so far have "Do Not Contact" tags.
They included players like Tucker DeVries and Bennett Stirtz. What did they have in common?
 
They followed there coach's ( father) to Indiana &Iowa! Will Lathan follow in his Father's Footsteps? I believe the BU Collective will pay him close to Market Value! The collective is not poor I believe. May not have Millions, but I can see hundreds of thousands! Plus they will ask him for a little home town discount. Maybe I'm dreaming this all up. I guess with Patience, will see if we end up having a strong nucleus of Hometown Peoria players for the 2025-26 season!

They're both horrible human beings that we hate with a passion?
 
I read on another site, he put out a list of schools he would consider. It was all Big Ten schools.
I'm not sure how accurate that info is.
 
Come Home…. Be a Legend. Continue and build on your family’s legacy in Peoria and at Bradley.
There plenty of $$ to be made at BU… and in the future when u are older the mark you leave here at BU and in Peoria, and your memories will out out weigh the benefits of bouncing around schools as a mercenary. There is plenty of of time for that kind of thing once u play as a pro someplace.

Now is ur chance to play where your heart is, where your family is. What an amazing opportunity that is.. to be able to play college ball in your hometown and also where you have a family history.

it only comes once!!
 
I hope he comes here but rumor on Rutgers boards is he is chasing a bag and with all the big schools after him would be shocked if he comes here to play. Hope I am wrong
 
Yeah, my interpretation of "Do Not Contact" was wrong. I figured that meant no contact, and he knew where he was going. Turns out, since he hired an agent, it just means "talk to my agent not me" in an attempt to maximize earnings. From what I know, there's still a chance but I feel a lot less optimistic than I did this time yesterday.
 
Of course everyone is hopefully optimistic that Lathan will transfer to BU. Hope Da Coach knows something we do not by his post a couple days ago where he states he is hearing things but not able to post yet about a certain team in the Midwest with school colors of Red and White are in play. Hope he is right, but just have to stay tuned and keep your fingers crossed.:lol:
 
Only3 reports these schools are after Lathan:

Michigan Ohio State
Tennessee
Washington
Cincinnati
Butler
Oklahoma State
USC
Texas A&M

On the Rutgers board they said they agent is looking for a million for him. Not sure how accurate that is
 
Yeah I heard a number a little bit under that. Either way, it would be a significant number. I looked at Rutgers board too, and two people mentioned they thought he'd go to Bradley. Here's to hoping.
 
An article online states that Summerville is being recruited by some major programs including Michigan. Didn't we read that he checked the no contact box? Confused.
 
The "No Contact" designation means schools are not to contact the player directly. Most players now have NIL agents listed. And they might indicate to contact that agent.

Gotcha. Thanks for the knowledge. He's being recruited by virtually every power conference school it seems.
