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.

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.

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"

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

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.

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.

The latest Instagram followers tale now includes Mark Cuban following MM.

It's funny seeing these cocky KU fans on this board to start to squirm a bit.

Let's go Coach Woody! Keep throwin' punches!

Funny but awesome recruitment. Funny because the alleged insiders don’t know anything that we don’t (Rabby), and awesome because I sincerely think our staff did it’s best, regardless of the outcome.

 

If we do land him, props to all of our big boosters that most likely provided supplemental NIL $ after the Adidas $. It’s easy for us to say just throw more money at the kid, but it’s great to see it actually happening by those who have the ability to do so.

 

I personally feel we’re slowly inching our way back to consistent relevance and top 25 teams.

Mgbako paired with Xavier, Reneau and Ware would be quite a formidable lineup. I hope the staff pulls off this feat. This would state that IU can compete with the big boys again for elite recruits

Do I know how to stir up the board or what?
