the IU account that knew we had DDV multiple days ahead of time had less than that, I think

Was it an account that had existed for 5 years?

A lot of guys out there that call themselves 'insiders' just read message board fodder and post what someone else has said.   Others create accounts and post guesses and spout them as 'knowledge' and when it turns out to be false, just create a new account.

I believe the one you are referring to that 'knew' DDV was the coach is the same one that said that Wilkerson had committed to IU on Saturday......which wasn't true.

I never said anyone was an insider. I understand how people go to twitter, pretend to know, but don't really... I get all that. 

I've not seen anyone state that Wilkerson committed, IU ANON on twitter stated that? I can't even find his acct now. 

 

I just don't think the number of followers really matters. The guy who had the Reed Bailey stuff, essentially, first, had tons of followers and no one was believing him until one of the national guys got the story like 12+ hrs later.

Pretty positive that is a current player or staff person that will post when something happens.

Seems like it. I also think they might have deleted their stuff.

Saw a screenshot on Twitter of Trilly saying Wilkerson got food poisoning from a McDonalds in Lexington, probably fake I guess, but kinda funny if true lol. 

I certainly hope DD is not recruiting players that eat at McDonald’s, good grief:)

UK board seems pretty confident on Wilkerson now, evidently they got an update from someone they trust. No idea how reliable that person is.

Regardless I like the fact he made his visit and left without committing. 

Apparently per Trilly we have outbid them by $500K.

They were confident about the last one too and Trilly told them they were wrong and they tried to Dox them because he made fun of them.

.....Coach DeVries may have to spend a little more money on him if he really wants him. He would be a huge pick up!

If Wilkerson goes to UK I am not sure this board can survive. 

Missing Wilkerson is nothing for a group that has survived 1 Elite 8 in 30 years, Archie, Woody, no tourney the past two years…..

I’m sick of it (IU’s lack of success) but onward we go.

And then gloated about said doxing like a badge of honor

Maybe one poster who was banned aka Tyme wasn’t wrong and our fanbase is our biggest issue.  You can be an huge asset and a huge liability at the same time with the wrong mindset.
