2024 Recruiting. Orig Post Updated Oct 2nd. 36 Offers So Far (incl. Chris Tadjo & Cooper Koch). 2 Scholarships Available (NOT counting PMac & Tony)
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
Caitlin made sure of it!
From all accounts, if Fran lands Pharaoh Compton, he's done with the Class of 2024.
Pharaoh's next official visit is scheduled for LSU on Oct 7. Let's hope he cancels & commits to the Hawks.
Thought he's going to OV UNLV. And LSU is no longer a thing.Pharaoh's next official visit is scheduled for LSU on Oct 7. Let's hope he cancels & commits to the Hawks.
His Rivals page says he's visiting LSU on Oct 7.
Click on his picture and scroll down the page that comes up
If Tony is gone after this year, Fran would be wise to find a guard before next year.
It'll be Tony or a transfer for the guard spot I suspect. I don't see him going after another high school guard at this point.
I also just wouldn't read into anything that's said right now--JBo stopped taking classes in the spring of his 4th year and then decided to return after Fran recruited him. Same thing happened with Connor--he was convinced he was done and went through senior day only to announce he was coming back a month later.
I just think it's hard for guys to envision coming back to school for another year until they are faced with the actual decision. I think Fran will be recruiting them hard to return come the spring unless they have legit NBA prospects. Fran even went out of his way during his press conference today to bring up that they could come back for another year, so you know that he's hoping to get them back. Ideally, if Tony has a decision on Europe vs a 5th year, the Swarm would get enough businesses to pitch in for NIL deals that money is not a factor in that decision--that's what a lot of other Big Ten teams did this last off-season for their 5th year returnees.
I read that as in he’s looking at transferring. And if he can go to a blue blood with a chance at a NT, I wouldn’t hold it against him.
I don't have first hand knowledge of this, so take it with a grain of salt. But I was told by someone that would know that there were teams trying to poach Tony hard this past spring. And it sounded like those were some big name schools. That person said they were impressed with how loyal Tony was to the program.
Now would that change if the Dukes or Kansas' of the world came calling with huge checks? I'm not sure.
Hunter Dickinson transferred to Kansas for those 2 reasons: (1) chance to win a national title and (2) to get paid (Kansas outbid Kentucky)
Just curious if you were told this or if you read it on a message board. I know Brad Heinrichs, the SWARM CEO, posts this type of info on the premium forum on the other site.
Don't think I've ever seen Brad speak on the topic. It was a former player that told me this that would know Tony.
I honestly wasn't that surprised by it due to how rampant tampering is right now in college basketball.
Given everything that is going on with the portal and NIL, the smart answer is going to be to announce plans not to return. Let the suitors (including your own school) come after you.

Did you ever think Kansas would want Moss?
UNLV just picked up a different big this morning. I am thinking this will come down to Iowa v SDSU for Compton.
Idk, think UNLV still has 10 with this verbal. SDSU and Iowa have fewer rides to give.
Anyone know why Tom Izzo was at Kinnick last Saturday?
Anyone know why Jack is jacking around? What is he saying to recruits, come play for Dad but I'm not?
Not sure I would be sure that Jack won't play at Iowa. Pharaoh is definitely more than 6-7", as some sites list him. Jack looks like he could spend a little more time in the weight room.
I hate to be negative, but it seems as though every time it comes down to the final two with a big time recruit, it doesn't go well for Iowa.
UNLV still has 2 open spots.
And, Pharoah plays a different position. Playing with a bona-fide big timer like this kid may keep Pharaoh home.
I'd put the odds of him to Iowa at +2400
Nope. N'Diaye plays the 5 and I can tell you that UNLV is not out of contention because of this commitment
So UNLV is going to try and play Compton as a wing when he has no jump shot to speak of? That seems very different than what Kruger's offense has been the past couple of years where he's played 4 out. Maybe that would work in the MW, but in the Big Ten it would be a spacing nightmare to play Compton anywhere outside of the 5 spot IMO. 4s just have to be able to shoot nowadays.
Compton definitely looks like a 4/5 from the little tape I have seen. I saw no evidence of an offensive game outside 10 ft, but he might be quick enough to guard most 4s. I have no idea whether he can handle the ball, but probably not a guy you want outside of the lane on offense. Whether he plays in a line up with another Big man depends on the skills of the other guy and the match ups for a game. He definitely would create problems for many teams on the offensive board playing at 4.
Have not seen anything online about him visiting UNLV, so not sure where you got that. He's taking his LSU visit still from what I've read.
