I spoke with a source this morning with direct knowledge of Brock Stull's visit and recruitment. He said the visit is going as well as could be expected, but he also added that Xavier and Butler are also heavily in the mix, and others could be as well. I did not get the best vibes from the conversation that Minnesota will get him.
I asked how Stull's presence could have impacted Bandoo's decision to go to Baylor. The source said that Stull has always been the higher priority. We have heard talk that perhaps Bandoo tried to commit to Minnesota Sunday night, but they staff held off because of Stull's impending visit. The source would neither confirm nor deny that.
Finally, if Stull goes elsewhere, Pitino will still be looking at the graduate transfer and junior college route for a best available point guard. The same source told me that the staff feels positive that there will still be lots of good candidates out there.
