Is this a good buckle up or a bad buckle up time?

The portal business is truly insane. Just a couple days ago, it seemed like Illinois was getting Maddox, Boswell, Storr, Booth, and possibly a 5. Now it seems they've moved on from Storr. Maddox is a Xavier lean. Booth is visiting but maybe isn't jazzed about playing the 5, and Raynaud is back at Stanford and Garrison is a no-go. I honestly have no clue what to think right now.

Don't see it happening, really.
Bill Self, as sharp a navigator in these situations as anyone alive, giving Storr a take it or leave it final offer at the beginning of the process is beginning to seem like the savvy move.

For lots of reasons, but perhaps most of all, Kansas can still absolutely drop back in out of the clear blue sky and win the player if they want to allocate the funds to do so.

They might waste their money, but they aren't gonna waste their time.

Are we recruiting Ray J again? It’s beginning to feel like we’re recruiting a bunch of Ray Js this year.
It almost always seems that when negotiations for athletes gets strung out for too much time, we end up losing.

If the staff is relying on potential again- this next season isn’t going to be much fun..

Illinois was never getting Boswell, Maddux, Storr and Booth even though many said we were. I posted numerous times it’s literally impossible. It’s not that things changed greatly. It’s that the expectations in this chat were unrealistic.
