Looks to be 5 PM (I assume ET), per ESPN's website.

I don't know what the Recruiting Nation thing is. Does that mean he is going to go on TV and do an interview type thing?

If Finke blows up and becomes a top-25 player and wants to choose Illinois, I would want him to announce on ESPN too. Positive pub for whatever school is chosen

WNDU being a South Bend TV studio? I don't like the "ND" in the call sign!


That being said, DJ and XRM to ILL!

It is real simple. If he wants to come to a basketball school with passionate, crazy Illini fans, and he wants to be the man, he will attend Illinois. If he just wants to blend in at a football school, he will attend Notre Dame. Notre Dame is going absolutely nowhere in basketball. If he comes to Illinois, he immediately elevates our program. We could be scary good.

I jumped to their site for a moment, just to see who they are. Those call letters made me a little nervous. Looks to me like those are just the initials of the central indiana NBC affiliate; not an ND inside type station, if there is such a thing.

Well, local station, with Telep who thought ND leads.

Probably not my favorite news of the day.

So if Djack wanted to show respect to his hometown school by visiting before announcing his decision because he is a good kid and doesn't want to hurt the coaches feelings doesn't it seem weird that he would go on ESPN to announce his decision a few days after the visit ended. It also seems that doing this on ESPN is the opposite of what type of kid we've been told Djack is? I know he is a kid and he should be able to get the attention he deserved it just doesn't correlate with what I understood he was about. Not sure what to think now why do the visit only to nationally choose Illinois over ND from South Bend on tv. Kind of looks like things have changed their course.
