****Updated 11:14 a.m. Thursday****
There has been a rumor going around on some of the other blog sites that Abraham already had his decision made before he came to Bloomington and only made the trip as a formality to appease IU and coach Tom Crean.
I asked Abraham's guardian, Joe Boncore, about that this morning and he said the rumor is completely false.
"And that is what coach (John) Thompson says," Boncore said. "Georgetown calls me at 6 a.m. wanting an update. Come on, when he gets back we'll talk."
Boncore went on to say that Abraham "really loves" IU and it is going to be extremely difficult for him to turn one school down. Boncore said the decision has become so tough on Abraham that he routinely goes into his bedroom and prays because he doesn't want to let anyone down.
That's it for now guys, but as always, I will update this site as soon as I hear anything more. Just thought some of you would like to hear Boncore's take on that rumor.

I spent a good part of my afternoon and evening exchanging texts with both Moses Abraham and his guardian, Joe Boncore.
Both have said relatively the same thing: The visit is going very well and a decision will be coming very soon.
"It has been going very good. I'm enjoying everything," Abraham wrote.
Abraham would not go into further detail as to when he expects to make his decision but Boncore said it will come this weekend.
Boncore also confirmed that Abraham's list has narrowed to Georgetown and IU.
Earlier in the day, the current members of the IU basketball team got to work on their off-season conditioning by running around campus with weighted vests on. Abraham obviously wasn't part of that workout but he was riding closely behind the players on a golf cart with a few of the assistant coaches.
Perhaps coach Tom Crean was trying to show Abraham that he and the players are working hard to turn the program around. After all, if you walked around campus at any big-time Division I basketball school, chances are you aren't going to see the players running past you in the middle of the day. It was kind of a unique sight.
Anyway, Abraham has agreed to contact me as soon as he makes his decision and when I get that call, I will immediately post the decision to this site.
