I'd figured he'd end up somewhere decent. He can YKN were the one's I always felt had the most value to leverage. So, for the rest of them, I'm really curious where they'll end up.
As for this tweet from Evan Flood (I have no idea who that is, fwiw). But let's address this part: "...drew interest from Kansas, Texas, Illinois, Virginia and more."
Yet went to NIU...
Okay, this "drew interest from" is the equilavent of "has heard from".
Amos got official offers from: NIU, UIC, UNC-Wilmington, CSU-Fullerton, Indiana State, Kent State, Loyola, and Mount St. Mary's.
Not one official offer from a major conference school (regardless of how you classify the A10, back then Loyola was in the Missouri Valley).
Now the thing with Amos was he was basically on zero national radars as a junior, had a good summer where he started getting some helium and then had a really good senior season. He was a really late arrival on the scene and many reporters were public about how little interest he was getting in recruiting.
Amos was always a steal for NIU.
