Did we get another under the table commitment? I am seeing twitter activity from Corey and Clark
Commitment, singular? Just one?
Maybe the K key is broken? Or it's a cool new way of spelling?Welcome to the family, but please learn how to spell the word "took" while you're at our esteemed University.

I noticed that Austin is in St. Petersburg, FL. Could be about Riggins and Spann.
I'm ok with the Shipton commit, it fills an immediate need for this year, and hopefully he can spell Avery.
Also we may be getting a Levelston commit.
Newton is also tweeting at Shipton, we might get all 3 of them.

That would be good.
taking shipton is more like a sign that the d line market isn’t like the skill positions market

Even better.
Pretty sure all the staff tweets were for Shipton. Even though it had been reported widely yesterday, he just announced it himself on twitter so I think they were giving him his moment with the retweets, #illgang20 stuff.
99% sure they are just tweeting about Shipton
Carson tweeted shipton a few hours earlier, this was minutes sho

I agree with you only when it doesn't look good for us!

LOL, good thinking.
Unfortunately, it's the good that causes issues. A person's expectations go through the roof the minute they see something on social media that they perceive to be in our favor. I was very new and not all that open on this board at this time but I specifically recall this little nugget causing quite the stir.
Despite my personal thoughts, I honestly wouldn't recommend paying much attention to anything related to these platforms. They break hearts.
I mean we heard promises of something big, so we go hunting for something... Social media is at least from the source of the guys themselves. It at least is showing us that the DL recruits get along well.
True as the statement is, unfortunately, "wise" and "the internet" never intersect. The "internet" is specifically designed to make billions on the "unwise".
Nothing wrong with that, don't let it sway your expectation level is all.
What inevitably happens is someone views this platform, draws a conclusion based on what they perceive and then if/when things don't pan out the way they believed they would, the frustration level grows to a point where the anger gets misplaced. Viewing that post above and having it turn to "Lovie sucks, we should have had Jalen, he clearly wanted to be here"! Those are the types of things I hope we can avoid by understanding what social media does and does not do.
That's a wild example by the way, not a direct reflection of anything I've witnessed on this particular board.

Buying a $300 "Penn and Tell Fool Everyone" magic set on Amazon can't be unwise. The shipping is free. Gotta play the long game bombay.

I hope this tweet is just about him tossing a Hot Pocket in the microwave and getting ready to chow down. Nothing would make me happier.
