Eh,  I don’t buy into that IG stuff, if he cancels  the IU visit, then you will have your answer 

But if he doesn’t, then he is genuinely interested

Heard X and Trey unfollowed Mgbako on IG. If they know something… I’m going to be sad again.

I think everyone is way over reacting to this!

Apparently X never even followed, so that part was false. Trey did follow but was never followed back and did unfollow. He could’ve also been told to unfollow bc Mgbako’s family has wanted to keep this recruitment close to the vest.

I don't know about the second part. He follows two St. John's players.

He follows 2 of our players (Ware and Cupps) and hasn’t made his OV yet.

My point was that i didn't think the unfollows were about trying to keep this quiet because he follows some St. John's players.

The real question is has anybody checked Mgbako’s top friends on MySpace?

Much less positive vibes despite nothing really happening. Lol. Oh well. I guess we will know in a couple of days up to a week.

Could be another recruit, but this is…not ideal 

EDIT: Glenn Taylor from Oregon State

It’s why these silly cryptic tweets are just stupid.  If you know something, just freakin’ say it.  Or don’t.  But these half measures are simply ways to post and ‘never be wrong’.

FWIW, if it’s Glenn Taylor from Oregon State, he is a small forward who averaged 11.6 points and 3.7 reb in 30 minutes at Oregon State.

He is notorious for it, timing was odd, but one of those accounts to look for every once in a while

The paranoia of the fanbase brought on by multiple disappointments makes us feel this way. We get excited for no particular reason and when the unwarranted speculation fails to materialize we sink  into depression. That's why people who are heavily invested in sports teams are called fanatics.

Nobody, not even Mgbako himself, knows where he's going right now. Anybody acting like they have info at 11 p.m. on a Sunday night before he's even visited 3 of his top 4 choices is just trolling or trying to get noticed.

I can't believe college basketball players following or not following other basketball players on social media gets us talking this much. 

I can't believe we're talking about that at all, especially when one of them is high school age.

Visit is still a go for this weekend, will be visiting Kansas all day tomorrow

Timeline that makes the most sense to me is;

• Tuesday/Wednesday - KU visit
• Friday/Saturday - IU visit
• Sunday/Monday - UL visit
• Next Monday night through a week from Saturday - Alternating Tweets inferring he is a lock to, and will no longer consider each of his four finalist schools.
• Next Tuesday through Sunday - meetings with and between
  • Adidas,
  • Agents,
  • AAU coaches,
  • Cousins,
  • "Cousins" 
  • Cousins of cousins,
  • Cousins of cousins of friends of cousins,
  • "Charities" (lol), and
  • Financial services professionals
• Key program associated individuals will include:
  • Silvio De Sousa's defense attorney,
  • Katina Powell,
  • Your friendly, reliable Lexus dealers of
    • Central Kansas, 
    • Southern Indiana
    • Northern Kentucky, and 
    • Da Fuggetaboutit Queens Auto Association
  • Kurtis Townsend,
  • Woody's beer girl golf-cart attendant, affectionately nicknamed "son" and "Kory" by Woody
  • JaQuan Lyle,
  • Bill Self's toupee-dresser, and of course,
  • The indescribably undeniably omnipresent Gabe Cupps. 

And a decision by next weekend.

Maybe he prefers German luxury so we shouldn't assume Lexus.

In a battle with UL's 'ladies', Bill Self's bag men, and Rick Pitino's 'I know a guy in Queens', I'm riding with Gabe Cupps every time.
