I take this back. Staff making last second push. Fingers crossed

Any updates on this?

Waiting for a cryptic post from Helmzy. Hoping the staff pulled off a fast one.

He committed to Ohio State.

Well, that sucks. Seems like the coaches really wanted him, but I feel good about (hopefully?) two more years of Nemb and four more years of Shtolzberg.

Isn't it three more years of Nembhard, including this year? Or am I missing something?

I could see that being a reason why a 2024 high-end PG won't pick CU. When they see that the Jays have the reigning Big East Rookie of the Year, pushing him out of a starting gig likely isn't happening. And top guys these days don't sign up to play behind a starter and wait their turn for two years. Plus, we already signed Josiah.

Sign Rock and Flowers. Focus on a 2025 or 2026 high-end PG. Keep the momentum going. It's so easy.

That logic would also apply to OSU. 247 says they have 5 PGs and still recruiting for 2023. They will probably have 2-3 of those guys still on the roster come 2024-25 season. These last 2 classes have been all top100 kids. It seems that the numbers have no impact. JPM is from Columbus, OH., and OSU is probably his “dream school”.

"Dream school" scenarios throw all such logic out the door. I'd contend that's a reason Josiah picked Creighton when he knows Nembhard is there. Likely why Mobley is committed to OSU.

But who knows? We are but know-little fans on a message board.

OSU is still recruiting for 2023, CG Bronny James and others. JPM will be back on the market before long.
