Get in on the elite 8 rebuy
So Nolley replaced OV's to NC State and UConn with OV's to Georgia State and Wichita State. NCState and UConn must subscribe to Cash35's newsletter.
Speculation: Nolley isn't feeling it with NC State and UCONN, so just grasping at Georgia State and Wichita State just to see and fill in some OV. Is he pretty confident with where he wants to go? I think so.
NC State just got a big commit last night
This guy. Power forward. I am not intimately acquainted with NC State's scholarship chart and positional needs, so I dunno if this is good, bad, or neutral for Nolley going to that school. General comments online suggest that Bates was recruited to be a big for them.
EDIT: lol, my post count reset. Be nice to the newbie!
Yup, who would not want to visit Wichita in October.

There is nothing about Gregg Marshall, nor his wife, that is low-key.

Where are the updates from Conditt's official?

You and I might know that but I bet Nolley doesn't know that and I bet they're pretty good at giving off a laid back vibe
Would not be so sure. I was up late last night, and saw a tweet from Addaya Moore the WBB player who facetimed Nolley during his in home.
This tweet has since been deleted, but it was up last night for a little while.

Nice find there Indy. That's too bad if true. So both Conditt and Nolley are looking somewhat doubtful now. Well, let's see if Castleton gets out of his visit this weekend without a commitment. If so we would be looking good there I'd think. And THT? I don't think anyone knows what's going on with that kid, lol. Iggy, hmmm, did we get the OV with him? I don't recall seeing anything. Fun stuff this recruiting!

Following recruiting is a form of self-inflicted torture. :doh:

This is why it's not even worth it. In a few months, we'll know where these kids are going. The ups and downs between now and then don't matter -- the final result is what matters. And nothing I can do can influence it, so why bother?
These are kids. They're feeling pressure from all sorts of influences. These "insiders" claiming that Kid X is "a lock" or "don't worry about Kid Y, he's coming" may be well intentioned, but they're no match for the mind of a 17-year-old kid who is getting conflicting guidance and pressure from a variety of sources.
I must say though.....I'm fascinated from a psychological perspective to witness how fans react to insider tidbits. People begging LincolnIllini to give us a
for example. It's as if posting such an emoji actually reduces stress in that person's life -- they seek it out as comfort, looking for that sign to reassure them. And if somebody comes along with conflicting information? WRONG. They don't have the right access! They only have 9 posts! It's too bad I'm an Illini fanatic, because otherwise I would enjoy these recruiting dramas for the insight they provide into group psychology. But, it sucks to keep losing these, so it's not even worth getting attached in the first place. I watch from afar, but that's about it. I do enjoy the updates this site provides......it's up to each person to avoid getting dramatic about it, though.
Just my $0.02. To each his/her own.
I believe she is telling someone else not to get their hopes up because he is going to Illinois.
That's how I took it as well!

I hope so! Looking at her post again, it is worded in a way that's seems more likely it is directed at a fan of another school.

There was an argument about this on another board last night. It's really hard to tell what she meant without knowing who she was responding to. And since she took it down -- impossible to figure out now. Optimists will take it the good way, pessimists the bad way.
Seeing how Trent seemed to be sway with a little feminine persuasion, I find this a bit humourous we are tracking this gals tweets. She seems to have gotten Landers
, maybe we can land the rest of him on Halloween. Him taking visits other places is really not uncommon. Burn up those free trips, just make sure you heading this way after them.
That's not how I took it.
Me either
Or the compliance department told her to stop tweeting about a recruit.
She's tweeting about a friend.
