From a distance, the safe guess would be that Cherry is going to one of the other schools like Zona or Oregon due to connections with other players there, PAC 12, and stronger basketball programs.
If A&M was able to pull a top-50 kid out of the West coast overcoming those other programs mentioned on his Final list, IMO it would be right up there as one of the most impressive basketball recruiting sales jobs we have seen in College Station. So by default that makes me pretty skeptical about us being the picked hat on selection day. Clearly the staff worked hard to get in the door with this kid and his family, unfortunately in recruiting it is an all or nothing Game with no reward for second place.
