Chirs was offered by Valpo today.

Just saw this. Not sure what's going on with his recruitment but if he ends up in the MVC outside of ISU, it'll be a bit of a head scratcher for me.

Most prospects thank every university on their twitter for every offer. He has no intention of going there.

Wouldn't be a head scratcher for me. I didn't want to stay home if I had a chance to go away to college.

this recruitment is somewhat peculiar. Reminds me a bit of the infamous Bradley/SIU recruiting battle of Pookie Twinklers from Canada a few years ago. He was supposed to be the next big thing in the Valley and it never happened.

I wonder if MiKyle knows him from playing in Canada?

Continues to talk up ISU as everything he wants from a school, but is still waiting for bigger offers.

“For the most part it has been good,” Payton said of reopening his recruiting. “ISU is still showing a lot of interest. The team shows me a bunch of love when I go to campus. I think it was a good decision, but I still have a lot of love for ISU.

“Loyalty is a big thing I value and they’ve done everything they can to showcase that, from every member of the coaching staff to the players to the managers. Everybody has shown me a lot of love the last couple of months. They did their part in recruiting and they haven’t left my side.”

Values loyalty, but doesn’t show any. I’m okay if this kid walks.

Selfishly, I hope he doesn't do well so he will recommit...
I hope he does well and recommits anyway

The Pookster was all about the team.
