So he's probably going to FSU.. gotta be tough having parents wanting you to do two different things. Good luck to TSJ, hope he figures it out.
I would. I think his pops wants him in Florida. Maybe u of I admissions thing. Either way, just like Nolley, would be surprised if he comes here. Many writers are trying to gather info as we speak on the situation so I'm sure we'll here more soon
Or maybe he tries to "increase his stock" at prep school and ends up at none of his final four.

Our collective meltdown regarding Shannon seems pretty funny now.
Committing to DePaul must be like waking up in the morning to discover you got blackout drunk and joined the Marines.
Lighten up, Francis. (Sorry, that was the Army.)
Piper had said on the radio a while back, that Nolley inquired as to our interest after the GA decommitment & we said no, I have my doubts on that because it sounds like a homer story, but if it is true then shouldn’t we expect the same for Shannon.
Nolley was the recruit I really wanted last year. Think Tevian and Nolley are very comparable, not sure we land Tev if land Nolley. I don't buy the story.

Terrence Shannon opened his recruitment today: I felt like I rushed my decision, I'm wide open again. Coach Chin Coleman has contacted me already.

I'm going to put on my UI/HCBU hat and respond to this Shannon development. 1. We offered and you chose elsewhere. 2. When you chose elsewhere we marked you off our list and prioritized some other recruits. 3. Said recruits would get pissed if we came back and said, 'Hey, things have changed, forget our last conversation.' 4. We now know Shannon's commitment can't be trusted. 5. Parents obviously have a lot of pull in this recruitment. Is either parent Pro-Illini? no.... 6. This isn't a 5 star, or high 4 star recruit, can I/we (HCBU/UI) afford to look beholden to lesser recruits by jumping back into this saga? For this particular recruit, no! 7. This is a golden opportunity to set the example that we want our recruits to be as serious about UI as the UI is serious about them. I'd love to have him, but that opportunity has passed..... Next???
Granted, being a 5 star or higher 4 star, or the player playing a critical position of need, changes the dynamics quite a bit. In this case, in this situation. I pass.....

We already set this example via Nolley... I am unclear as to what the payoff has been.
The payoff was Tevian.

Things like this seem to have a high probability to go oddly. Snider is a great example. That said you have to take them on a case by case basis

If the kid wants to come here and he isn't a head case (I know nothing and am acussing nothing) why wouldn't we take him? We are in no position to be turning down top 100 kids. So he committed too soon and wants to change his mind. It literally happens all the time in football and we don't shoot those kids down.
I don't even want Shannon anymore. Dude just made a decision last week... Get out of this rollercoaster now, couches. Put your efforts elsewhere.

Screw everything you just said. Recruit him. Glad Chin is already on it.
