Honestly, not sure what to think. Over the past few years I've been on there, these types of things usually mean expected good news. But I have no idea.

It’s a public article

Rabby seems to be more out of the loop than normal this off season but he's also our closest contact.  

He often knows though.  A few notable misses, Ledlum recently and the Keion Brooks saga.  I kinda forget the Kaufmann Renn recruitment.  

Sometimes he knows but can't spoil it good or bad for "journalistic integrity"

Yes, it is nothing earth shattering. I just don't remember the last one of these he did...

He has stated multiple times that one of his "best friends" is Slater who is directly in the middle of the Mgbako family and this recruitment.

It seems like his public ones are always minimal

I've detected a certain level of confidence in Indiana's media team over the past week.  I've been keeping that in the back of my mind all along.  I hope its the right read.

The Garlands led Rabby on to make him think Darius was coming to IU too.

My friend who has followed Rabby feels it’s usually good news.

X 100% would know if we were out. He has been directly speaking with him. He would not do this to IU fanbase if he felt bad on where things stand. He knows his tweets carry weight.
 

He probably knows the decision but at minimum this means we are not “out” like many feel it has been. 

agree.  He would be one of the last to lead us on

Yeah, I don't believe that. Why would he fly out there on his own dime to tell them when a free phone call would do?

He might (probably will) pick Kansas but I don't believe that he's in Lawrence today. Why didn't the poster have a picture of it as proof?

Because they would be attacked for that

Kinda hard to see his tweet with these old eyes.  But why would 5 chickens mean we are still in it?  :)

That is what I kind of thought too. I couldn't remember though

I don't buy that Mgbako is in Lawrence right now but Hunter Dickinson just did this last week.  He met with Self in person to tell him he was coming to KU.

My same thought when I first saw it.  Had to damn near put my laptop on the bridge of my nose!

People, people, people.  There's no way word wouldn't be rampant on the internet if Mgbako was really in Kansas.

He didn’t meet with Self in a public venue before he announced.  He did it to finish his corny video.
