I bet not. I bet he's been trying to ignore it as much as possible today.

Nah, Marion sucks so bad they don't have internet since Dana and RCA shut down.  Although they have about 1/6th of the GM employees they used to have.  Sorry, couldn't resist.  I am from Huntington they are our rivals on many things.  If there is anyone from this area they will understand this.  The Marion Giants football team has 1 win.  They are getting blown out every game.  I never thought I would see that day.  They always had one of the top football teams in the state.  They are like Homestead in this area.  I seen their record today to look up what class they were in.  That surprised the hell out of me.  I think when I was at Huntington North we lost by like a collective 200-20 in my 4 years to them.  We beat them by 40 this year.  We went like 20 years without beating them.  Atleast their basketball team will be good again.  It really hasn't since Zach Randolph was there.

 

 

He was in Indy this morning. I doubt that he went back. They have internet and phone service in Indy ;)

So many different angles on this thing. From Blackmon 100% to UK at 8am to Blackmon to IU at noon. Just seems crazy that everything was held so tight until today... Maybe not, but it does seem bizarre the way this has all played out.

Ha, I wouldn't if I had the choice.  The only good thing Marion has is a couple of Mexican restaurants, Rally's, and Sirloin Stockade (if you can call the all you can eat steak buffet good).

May have been posted but I am late to the party.  Followed this up with 1-1.

Feel comfortable saying at this stage that I would be shocked if JB did not pick Indiana. I'm not alone.

Don't be surprised by a Michigan commitment.

[mdn82 25,510]

Never knew this, but this does two things.  Makes me feel even better, and explains a lot.  ED has always seemed to be anti-IU.  Dude lives in Lexington.  Never knew that.  This tweet also made me laugh, so 3 things.

Well @EvanDanielsFOX lives in Lexington and I live in Indy. Either way one of our places of residence might not be standing in the morning

Don't be surprised by anything.

Even the Michigan sites say it's IU or puke.

If that happened I would drink myself to sleep if you are buying.  I am cheaper than Calipari on 4* recruits.

I'd be shocked. As would everyone else haha

Jerry Meyer says why he switched

"primarily leaks that Indiana is the pick. Intel flowing through reliable connections and sources."

Nobody knows. This could still go any direction.

392 guests....  Sign up.  Join the party.  Keg stands by Jaybob at 8pm.  Someone has to hold the mullet.  That is why we need a few to sign up.  I don't want that job.

Extremely excited about this pick. I feel confident with JBJ and JQL heading to Btown... Regardless, What a crazy recruitment!!!!

New record for "most online today" set on Halloween... :)

I asked on another site, and I'll ask here.  How often is there this much chatter the day of an announcement and it's wrong?  Seems there was a lot of pro-UNC chatter with Pinson, and chatter with Goodluck.

 

And for the record, my Crystal Ball vote is still on UK.

I have said many times for well over a year leading up to his decommit that if he was healthy and didn't blow his knee out he would have been committed to UK.  When he decommitted, I felt there was 0% chance he ended up at IU.  IMO, this instance if he commits here should put any questions to bed about the level of recruiter Crean is.  To answer your question directly, it isn't wrong when it happens.  I have never seen an instance where the chatter like Devin Robinson, Theo Pinson, or Cody Zeller was making a scheduled announcement and chatter started that was wrong.  I have followed recruiting for a long time.  I think it would be even harder in the social media age.  Sorry to get sidetracked but I was going to post that top part and I thought two birds one stone.
