Uwe sold a tech company I think. I’m just messing around because I’m bored. No one knows but I feel good.

Dude’s so old he missed the MySpace reference. :)

At chick fil A drive through with windows down listening for clues. Doesn’t seem like anyone is here yet. Of course I am in Tampa but you never know.

Maybe this recruit will be cruising down I-95 in NJ and see a IU license plate and think. “It’s meant to be! Yep, I’m going to IU!”

Sorry Tamar, I had too

[Artie86 1,902]

Since Slater is supposedly, close friends with MM and family, he HAS to know something.... Slater has to have some sort of an idea where MM is leaning. Someone posted on this site or HSN, that his recruitment is quit unique, in that the most respected or trusted media source is not giving his prediction. Either he definitely knows, and wants MM to have his day and announce on HIS terms (out if respect from being close family friends) or MM just can't honestly decide. 

.....I'm hoping for Jared Jefferies results again!

My sources are telling me that you should be able to buy Zelda this morning. I think we have 50% chance of landing him. I know nothing but like our chances

This is the 2023 version of waiting at the airport and plane tracking.  If we just took turns surely we would see Kenya getting something without ketchup.

Well I guess it's Kansas. Sorry guys. Not only did KU know earlier about his announcement time way before us, he is announcing it a whole hour earlier to Kansas fans.

KU Twitter still feels very confident. Screenshot of a discord chat where at 9:30 they said he'd announce at this time. 2 hours ahead of when Osterman tweeted it. Doesn't mean anything definitively though

Damn. They get everyone

[lillurk 3,738]

It may well be KU but Osterman tweeting out the announcement time after KU folks said it in a discord ain’t proof

[AKHoosier 6,833]

I think the staff has done a great job in this recruitment, especially given he was a late target. A lot had to happen quickly just to get him on campus.

I just see him picking Kansas.

Yeah, I'm not waving the white flag yet. 

Knowing the time before the media does not mean in any way that they knew the decision. It's not a big leap to say, a real KU insider likely got the tip and shared that in this discord before IU media got an update from the IU coaching staff.

Doesn't mean coaching staffs weren't informed at the same time of an announcement time/decision being made.

I'm reasonably certain of the following:

• Kansas has the single best sales line; proven collegiate success of so many 6'6"-6'8" wings,
• We have a real shot due to a clearly defined role and a strong NIL program, but only if coupled with him and his family just plain old liking our staff and his future IU teammates better,
• No one has been told the decision, other than Slater and probably by late afternoon the respective staffs,
• If it's not us, most of us will 'get it,' but we will have a few posters that will take over the board for about 24 hours to cry that all is hopeless and sad. The ones that 'get it' will find it so offensive that 'IU fans' don't 'get it', but it will only be a few loud, venting, usual suspects that  say all is lost,
• AND FINALLY...That sadness will last only until we get a glimmer that a different very high-end wing is a viable option, because it's almost guaranteed that will happen too.

So there.
