His top three schools are Illinois, North Carolina and Florida, with Illinois being the leader at this point. Semrau said a verbal on his visit is not out of the question.​

I think he's kind of lucky to go to Illinois. Everyone else seems to be cooling on him quite a bit, to the point where it did not seem like his favorites were in favor of him going to their schools. Still, Illinois is a very good program and he has the potential to be an athletic big man who can do some nice things for them.

Best of luck to the Ohio rep., just don't pull too much out of your hat against us when we play, as it goes without saying, but I just said it, so there.

Illinios' philospy was a key reason why Semrau verbaled.​

I would still like to know if he cooled on Kentucky or if Kentucky cooled on him...I thought he was headed there for sure.

I was under the impression that Kentucky moved on at a certain point.....reasons unknown.

 

[jwinslow]

WF fans were claiming they cooled on him for character issues, take that with a large grain of salt.

is that why they are cooling on conley and cook

I could have posted this here or in the "Wake Flamers" thread, but I would be embarrassed if I was a Wake fan and people were saying things like this...

From the "Positive Recruiting News? Post Here" Thread from Deacon Sports:

Positive recruiting news: Semaru isn't coming and neither is his attitude. He'll be a bust in a sea of orange instead of a sea of tye-dye.

 

[OSUBasketballJunkie]

As far as I am aware, Semrau has never had any off the court issues. I think it is irresponsible for that board to say that.
