It's apparently a shoe company issue, potentially. Blakeney is a NIKE AAU guy, and Louisville is an addidas school.
He's supposed to be visiting the same weekend as Thomas Bryant (top 40 player, C) and Isaiah Briscoe (5-star PG) and one other top 50 player, I think Caleb Swanigan.
I expect them to get none of those guys. Best odds are probably with Bryant, but I expect to lose him to the Cuse.
Missouri did, however, get a commitment last week from Cullen VanLeer. A 6-2, white shooting guard from Pacific high school, who is an unranked 3-star player.
He, like Puryear, is a role player/glue guy. Best offers were from Wofford and Lehigh (SMS and Indiana State also). So, basically, he's a SG version of Ryan Rosburg.
If you're counting, that's now 4 glue guys/role players in the past two classes. Not a great trend, in my opinion. And there's now only one open scholarship, so if something miraculous happens and a couple of these big-time guys DO want to come to Missouri, someone is going to have to be run off.
