Default Zion Williamson & Kevin Knox going WHERE?!?

4-14 EDIT: Now with Justin Jackson going pro... ... ... Maybe KNOX to UNC????


4-18 EDIT: UNC HEAD COACH ROY WILLIAMS & KNOX HAVE OFFICIALLY SCHEDULED AN IN HOME VISIT FOR WEDNESDAY AT 4:15 PM!!! THIS COULD BE HUGE.


I'm a HUGE UNC Basketball fan and would love for either of these kids (or BOTH) to somehow pick UNC... lol

I am honestly worried that Knox is going to make a HORRIBLE decision and go lose at dook.

I am worried Zion might go there too SMH.

Where do you think these kids are going to play? And when will Kevin Knox finally commit somewhere?

I'm also a Heels fan.

I feel optimistic about Knox. There is an obvious slot for him on next year's Heels where Justin Jackson will leave a void. On the other side, the mass exodus out of Durham is opening up plenty of spotlight as well.

With Zion, 3 months ago, he seemed like a lock to UNC. Rumor is his entire family are all Heels fans. But with all of the notoriety that he has been generating, he is going to have a lot of people pulling him in different directions. He's been really, really hard to get any read on his recruitment. Being only a junior, we have another year of wondering what he might decide.

Either way, Go Heels!

Yea, it is definitely tough being an Illinois fan these days. We got rid of Groce so we should have more reason to watch Illinois next year.

Do you think Jeremiah Tilmon stays with the Illini? I am in Illinois, but a Tar Heel fan. Word is that Tilmon came down to Illinois and North Carolina. As much as I want the Heels to have a chance at another big guy next year, I also like have the local crowd interested in college basketball. I also don't want to add another big guy because that player's first choice lost his coach.

Yea, I say he stays. I did a little happy dance when Groce got fired. Long time waiting for that news. We got one of the best recruiting classes coming that Illinois has ever had and we needed to get rid of Groce because he didn't let the players play. We will be better. I am just glad you aren't a Puke fan.......both my sons are UNC fans. Pretty easy to be a UNC fan; tough to be a fan of ILL-INI.

Too bad he is much shorter than Randolph. My worry is that he never develops anything else and is a very undersized PF. While saying that, I would still LOVE to see him in Carolina blue.

Tillman signed his "letter of discontent" with the Illini this week. Sounds like he is gone.........

I saw that and thought of this thread.

What are you hearing? Mizzou? It seems Knox is about to take a visit to Mizzou as well. There is a rumor that all of the unsigned top seniors will head to Mizzou for a season.

Lol, you can have all the talent you want but if you can't coach it really doesn't matter. See Groce at Illinois, Travis Ford at OSU, and Cuonzo at Cal...and now Missouri.

is KNOX really going to go to Mizzou???

I feel like he wants to see where he would have the most "Stacked" flashy team and commit there... Seems like It's possibly going to be Mizzou.

I just hope he doesn't pick DOOK (even though i think he will) smh!


If he had any sense he'd go to UNC.

I hope you lose them both to Illinois.........actually, I would love to have just one of them. Tired of seeing us always coming up short.......he'll probably end up at Puke..........

For some reason, I feel that Knox doesn't want to go to Dook. Right now, I would guess that it's Mizzou, followed by the Heels.

Zion still seems to like the Heels, but I think this one will get played out until the end. There will definitely be a place for Zion at UNC. Hopefully that's what he chooses.

I think he prefers Illinois. Well, let me rephrase. I prefer him to go to Illinois. Does UNC, Puke, Kansas, and Kentucky really need every 5 star recruit???

I saw Knox turned down 1.4 million already to play pro. Kid must be the real deal.

Yep, the family turned it down so that he can go to college. In other words, the family wants more exposure than he would get in China. Makes sense. Cha-ching........
