Ikenna has the who's who of programs in the country.
It does not appear that he is looking to go so far away from home.
You got the West (Arizona/Gonzaga/Washington) and the Midwest (Houston/Kansas/Louisville) and then some SEC programs in Alabama/Kentucky.

At this point, my question would be is Washington getting the hometown love, or do they have a legit shot in this?
I guess I will find out once he cuts his list down again huh?

UW is strictly on the list to make locals happy.  If he stays in the state of Washington, he's playing for Few.  Talented kid with a healthy list of choices for school...

No way he'll be playing here after
the senseless E-Man catastrophe.

EMan looked like a kitty on catnip on the court. No way he deserved more playing than he got. Besides he was not a heralded top ten recruit, not even close so why would his experience at the UofA matter with this recruitment?

[KansasCityCats]

I understand the former teammate relationship but this is strictly business and Arizona wouldn't get a sniff at the Final 8 contenders if he had heartburn regarding Stephen, who clearly wasn't ready to play last year.  I'm personally disappointed that he wasn't patient enough to wait for minutes because he's extremely athletic for his size and plays with a motor.

Okay, so it should have been the easiest, most obvious decision in the world to not use up a year of his eligibility for him to play a handful of minutes in a couple games for absolutely no reason. Did it help him or the team to do that? Not at all. And who knows whether pro ball is even in his future or not. Every single year of earning potential during college is a huge deal for a guy like him.

[KansasCityCats]

He was eager to play.  I was in Stillwater when he contributed and Stephen was not upset about burning his redshirt, especially in a landscape where kids rarely play in college for 5 full years.  He'll play at UNLV for 2 years, transfer to some D-1 powerhouse for his senior season and hopefully get a chance in the league.

Pryme is right. You are all haters. The E-Man got treated like trash by Tommy. Just like Carter. Tommy isn't really a Coach's Coach. He just hands the keys over to whichever guy wants to take 10 3's per game. He could have had a super athletic Big helping Henri out, but instead he chose 8 minutes of Carter with a 5 shot maximum before the yank then ran Awaka into the ground for no good reason.

In reality, Awaka is barely a SF these days. This season will prove how out of touch Tommy is when he is giving Tony Del Taco tons of minutes over Burries trying to hide superstar talent in plain sight. He may ride with Koa Peat, but if he doesn't get the supporting cast on board correctly, than it will be a shit show of who can chuck up the most shots and scam the most usage.

Bradley
Burries
Peat
Awaka
SloMo

I don't want to hear jack shit about Aristode until he comes in and proves he is better than Carter Bryant was last year. I also don't want to hear shit about him until he proves he is better out there in IQ than Bryce. Del Orso is a 6th man at best for this team, backup "3rd" Guard. Aristode can come in and relieve Peat at SF, while Peat slides to PF and Awakwa or Sidi to double PF. I have no idea how Ivan fits into any of this yet, but he also needs to show he can play at this level.

I wish Houston was the first Conference game paired with Kansas so we can see what sort of toughness we have.

BYU is a different situation with their NBA system being better than Tommy's.

As always, there is only 1 thing that can go wrong and that is an Injury, but outside of that, the spotlight is all on Tommy. No one has more weapons and tools on the belt to use than Lloyd. If he fails AND doesn't utilize his Recruit Class properly than I expect no mercy on him.

Some would argue that you are the biggest hater here. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
