This board's opinion on the utility of info gleaned from social media seems to change like the direction of the wind, lol. 

Not sure why someone would visit a message board and click on a recruiting thread if they're not interested in the latest news on recruits. If you don't consider social media activity to be news, that's fine... if nothing else, it is contextual information that you can ignore without snide comments. Guess there is no fun in that though

Have to say that I didn’t see a single thing that I would consider ‘snide’.

I’d be more worried it’s a setback in his recovery from his knee.

XJ didn't have a knee injury, unless that is new. A broken bone in his foot is what ended his season.

Oh I’ll be snide about some KU fan account playing fake insider on twitter! Saw the account claiming MM was a KU lock this afternoon, fighting with IU fans hoping. JUST NOW, hours later, he’s asking Trilly for Mgbako news.

This is the final post I will make on the subject because I am not looking for drama and would rather argue with KU fans. It's message board banter and not a big deal. Just an odd thing to do IMO ...  

Snide (adjective): derogatory or mocking in an indirect way (per Oxford dictionary).

These tweets from players don’t mean anything come on people

Maybe XJ had a rough workout today and is determined to work harder? Maybe he just ate a huge meal and is feeling indigestion? Literally his tweet could mean anything.....

Edit: yes, you can call me snide/petty or whatever for this post. Lol

Ohhhh I know which account you are taking about

So do we think Woodson and Co are still reaching out and staying in touch with MM in this 11th hour? I’ve always wondered about how much is too much contact before a commitment? How much more money is currently trying to be pulled together and thrown at MM? I’m sure all these recruits want some time with family and just to think too.

The only snide post — fifth stage of madness — was AFTER you said posts were snide.  Suggesting that people are reading too much into a tweet isn’t.  It’s giving an opinion.

[Artie86]

Does any find it interesting that X, our point guard, JHS and MM have been instagram or Twitter, (which ever one) throughout this? It’s almost as if it could be “shop talk”. Who knows. Just trying to add to the mystery! Lol

[RaceToTheTop]

As with every recruit, there are two options:  they pick IU or they don’t.  50/50, y’all.

Will see if he ever follows a Kansas guy.

Believe he follows Elmarko Jackson on IG

That same guy has said that since the day he visited. That guy needs help. 

If my team had won a title this decade I would simply chill with the recruiting obsession unless I thought we were beginning to slip.

The other day HD posted a gif of something blipping on a radar, getting closer. 

Today, allegedly HD was in a Twitter space and asked about Mgbako. He "acted kinda weird when asked about it. Said that he and Kansas definitely have their eyes on someone (Mgbako) and they will figure it out soon." Think the (Mgbako) was implied, but not plainly stated. 

I did see that Hunter Dickinson was on Twitter Spaces with Mike Vernon.....Vernon is a tool.  Guy looking for clicks from Jayhawk fans -- read their message boards and you'll see that Jayhawk fans think he's a joke.

[IUFAN1976]

Here is what is going to happen, about an hour before his announcement, Mark Cuban is going to come in with an NIL offer of $1 billion dollars, the nicest penthouse apartment in Bloomington and 40% shares of stock to the Dallas Mavericks, and he commits to IU

Oh wow, didn't realize that was with Mike Vernon... I see among his many scoops, 2 years ago was KU to B10 haha... That makes me feel more at ease about the twitter chatter in KU circles. In all likelihood just HD trying to build his KU following while having fun at IU fan's expense, since we know how much he loves our fan base
