I agree. And hopefully Castleton will see the urgency with Purdue drying up (but yikes...not Michigan).
First 247 CB for Landers to us. A Maryland guy, who does not look familiar.

Other than MSU, he hasn't seemed very interested in anybody.
Maryland 247 CB also chipped in for Tim Finke to us a minute before his Landers vote

Castleton, Nolley, Conditt all going to decide in October.
Hearing that Ayo will sign in the fall.
Really think we will get 3 of the 4...
The first day of Fall is on the 22nd. All of these guys are signing in the Fall.
Maybe it's just overly optimistic, but that was my take too. If he had a committable scholarship and/or really liked how he would fit, then it seems you pull the trigger on the dream school. That he is now saying an October commitment seems like the UF ship has sailed as it seems improbable that all of their other targets would be off the board and none of them going to UF.
But....Michigan...
Yes.
Also will get one of Iggy or Moore at SF. Need 2 guards. That's why I have continued to say Castleton to Florida is unlikely. Have 3 rides and 4 more pressing options.

Can't let this go. First day of astronomical fall is the 22nd (equinox). First day of meteorological fall is the 1st. Neither one is "official".

Good info, thanks.
Pretty sure that Castleton is having (or had) a Gator epiphany. Not excited about his later commitment date (but that can change).
The great thing about this forum is that, beyond the chaff, there's a lot of salient info that would be nigh impossible for a solitary, albeit rabid (chomp chomp), fan to glean.

OV on the weekend of the 29th. Last I heard. With LN nothing is in stone.
That is elegantly stated. It's why I visit, really.
I also appreciate the on-point usage of the Oxford comma.
It's hard not to get excited about the future of the program and the potential additions we could make to next years team with the 2018 recruiting class. If you add Ayo, Castleton, and Nolley, you would have to love our teams chances of being very very good. Our guard play would arguably be the best in the Big Ten. And you would feel comfortable with our post players with a senior Finke & Black with Jr. Nichols, Soph Spicy G, Soph Vesel, and Fresh Castleton

#Illini HC Brad Underwood & Jamall Walker will visit the program's top 2019 priority EJ Liddell (@EasyE2432) today

Color me confused. He's visited numerous times and had an in-home visit. He isn't jumping around and talking about how much he loves it here but he hasn't done that about anywhere else either. He isn't wearing orange and blue every day but I wouldn't say he's never really seemed very interested.
I agree with you. I just saw an analyst comment on twitter that the longer Castleton stays uncommitted the better it is for the Illini. I don't feel that way at all. I don't want to wait to see what Florida's top priorities end up doing. Then if the other guys commit to other schools they will be all over Colin. I also don't want other schools to try to get involved after their priorities sign elsewhere. I have had enough of Michigan with the Simpson recruitment. Not interested in any repeats.

2018 F Colin Castleton is hosting Michigan Staff at workout tonight. Then hosting them for “in-home” at his school, per sources.

Let me introduce you to, get this... the Spring signing period. I believe his point is that Ayo would not be waiting until the Spring.
Excluding Purdue, seems like much hasn't been said about other suitors outside of IL & Florida. I wonder where Florida State, Xavier and others involved previously sit with him now. It seems like Michigan would be a quality option to the scenario of Florida holding out while Conditt verbals to us on Oct 2.

I understand the Spring signing period. Ayo is not the type to hold out until then. I'm tired of the pretend insiders. Of course these guys are signing in the fall.
