The media wasn't notified. It seems that Piper only tweets stuff like this if he has direct confirmation from the kid, or a source in the program. He's usually on top of this stuff, so it's possible that he reached out and was told they were keeping it under wraps for now. Just speculation.

Thanks! I don't have a rivals subscription either but that's good enough evidence for me. I'm surprised that Werner and Piper haven't posted anything about it. No biggie, he just happens to be the biggest target in years..

They have. I don't subscribe so I can't read it.

Then he really shouldn't go out in public.

Seriously.... absolutely crazy to think you can go to a public restaurant for lunch and not get noticed.

this was on my twitter feed not sure how accurate it is...

 

[7yearillini]

Do other schools have such dumb urban legends that are allegedly the reasons for near misses? Or do we have a monopoly?

Dang, what kind of Twitter app do you use? It looks just like Facebook!

Hypothetically, if Tilmon pulls the trigger, we know that helps our chances with Goodwin, and vice-a-versa. Are there any other recruits we're chasing after that would be particularly influenced by these two committing? Thought I might have seen someone post something about Nojel Eastern mentioning he'd like to play with Goodwin. Any others that come to mind?

He's teammates with Tugs Bowen so that can't hurt. However, even then I would doubt Bowen comes here. I think Scruggs might look a little harder at us with both of them living in Indiana.

Log on to see we are still afraid of recruiting and hurting the players feelings....:tsk:....moving on

This is his twitter account so I would guess since he was a kid.

Well makes sense, I meant when did we refer to him as tugs and not Bruce... Every recruiting site I've seen says Bruce...I was just interested

You're looking at different sites than me then. Every site I look at says Brian.

Tugs

Wait, is it Bruce or Brian? I thought it was Brian.

Bruce is the former NBA player.

Lip-reading is an option, but smoke signals are standard protocol. Personally, I favor miming.

Miming works, but only if performed hidden from view behind a curtain.

Someone put the picture from FB on my twitter feed so thats where I pulled it from.

 

[AnticipatedSerendipity]

Hahahaha whooops, I definitely meant Brian... Like early mentioned Bruce is the former nba player (Spurs)

Oof, on the heels of not garnering a mention in a recent interview he gave on the state of his recruitment, right? Could still be a long way to go, but that doesn't make you feel good. Lewis is my favorite player we're recruiting after Goodwin, so I'm crossing my fingers that this doesn't mean anything.
