Charles Matthews....

He of the 5-star shooting guard out of Chicago is set to announce tomorrow.

Final 5 - Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, MSU and Marquette. This from his own twitter account.

I am sure this has been discussed on the Premium Board, but just thought I would throw this out there.

Not holding my breath....

Odds of him coming to MU range somewhere between 0 and 1%

This from a CSN writer/hoops guy...

"Early chatter in last 15 minutes for Charles Matthews places best chances with Kentucky and Marquette."

Where is IWB?

Re: Charles Matthews—with Calipari at St. Rita today and his strong relationship with the Meanstreets program, read between the lines.

Twitter-sphere reporting Coach Cal was at St. Rita's today. So, there's that.

Some are saying that Buzz was in the building as well.

I would think there would be a strong connection as Matthews goes to a Catholic HS and all his other choices are Public Schools. Think that might give us a bit of an in if that is important to their family.

I heard at one point he was interested in playing with Diamond Stone. Not sure if that was wishful thinking or if there was something more to it. While I wouldn't make us a favorite over Kentucky, I do think we have a realistic shot. Certainly better than 0-1%.

I believe Matthews and Stone visited UW unofficially on the same day.

Also, while I will be shocked if he chooses MU, Kentucky already has commitments from two Mickey D guards in the class of 2014: Devin Booker, a 6'5" two guard and Tyler Ulis, the 5'9" point guard. Then again, there might be a connection between Ulis and Matthews.

Of course, this could end up being like Looney's decision. No one had him picking UCLA, but that's the school he picked.

We'll know soon enough - like in two hours, but I ain't holding my breath.

Moved to tomorrow

So he is going to announce on Tuesday (today). Coach Cal shows up and he decides to put the decision off a day. Interesting.

Gotta wait 'til the check clears?

Would not surprise me at all if Cal found out Matthews was going to announce for Marquette and decided to head up to St. Rita's with an offer in hand to ensure he didn't let a burger boy get away.

That is what I was thinking.

There is a connection between Matthews and Ullis….AAU teammates

FWIW, I believe Matthews and Stone were both here together on a visit as well. Not sure if it was an official for Diamond, I'd doubt it, but I believe both were on campus for Ohio State.

They also visited Madison together as well.

Yup...I was responding mostly to the post above mine where Marked quoted Phantom saying just that ;)

Expect the unexpected. Shocker...

Maybe UCLA?

Everyone thinks its Kentucky, so "expecting the unexpected" before picking Kentucky would be odd.

But that does not mean it could not be Illinois, Kansas or Michigan State if it is "expect the unexpected." Best, as an MU fan, not to expect it to be MU and just see what happens.

With all the recruiting analysts picking UK, there's really no suspense. By tweeting that, he's trying to at least garner some interest in his actual press conference.
