It absolutely would be. But the vibe just hasn't been there with THT. Hopefully we can turn that around next weekend. And hopefully an Ayo commit sweetens the pot (if indeed THT is receptive to playing with Ayo).

Nothing puts the "vibe" there like an official visit. His has been a quiet recruitment. I'm not sure there's been much of a vibe to anywhere.
I just don't pay attention to anyone who claims to know information on here, because more often than not, they don't. Getting your hopes up over what an anonymous person on the internet claims to know is not healthy.
You'll never see me get urked at anyone who hints or suggests the possibility of getting someone.
It's when people say things that make it sound like gospel that bothers me. It's probably just semantics but it seems to rub me the wrong way.
Probably because everything my mom says that are her opinion come out of her mouth as very matter of factly and any other opinion is wrong. Drives me bonkers.

Even since he left without a verbal. I think he's gone, but hope I am wrong.
I cant even imagine the meltdown that will take place if he picks Wake. I think I will place a 72 hour ban on myself if it happens. It will be ugly on here.
I will to. But not to worried. He will be an Illini.
Y’all need to be easy on Cash, Nolley has lied to several people about where he is going. That’s why I wouldn’t put anything out there about him. However, I am speaking in absolutes and I’m sorry to urk you with it. But everyone needs to relax. Ayo is Illini.
I guess taking the uncertainty out of recruiting is taking the excitement out of it. I wouldn’t put it out there like this if I wasn’t 100% confident he was ours because you guys destroy people that speak too soon.
Getting AYO would be a massive win for a coach that hasn't managed a game here and a school that was plagued by Groce's offense for years. I still feel unlikely just for those reason. No ono cares about WF, I'm just talking black box scenario here at home.

We all hope so, too.
No reason we should melt down. It is what it is. The kid might choose us and he might not.
I just remember the 'Eric Gordon Night". That was a tough few days. I know that was losing a committed player as opposed to a player deciding. They both would and could be program changers just on face value.
Maybe you shouldn't take things as "gospel", no matter how they are presented. We all should be grown up enough to understand that recruiting information really isn't finalized until signing day. Maybe people hear something, maybe people make things up? Who the F knows? I read for information and I don't jump head first into anything positive or negative. I just don't see the need to attack the ones who are wrong or anoint the ones who happen to get some info right.
As for your "mommy issues", Norman, maybe a trip to the psychiatrist could prevent a lot of Psycho things from happening in the future.
Pros: We have 100% crystal balls, everything seems to imply that we have had and still have the lead going into the weekend.
Cons: Danny Manning's secret meeting at his Ayo uncle's house(see kendal gill's instagram)
"Another great weekend" tweet, seems to imply that WF is still in his mind
"It's going to be a hard decision" tweet, setting up the home school for a heart break?
I'm going 50/50 on this one

EVERYONE needs to just simply stop making prognostications about ANY recruit! Any little possibly positive tweet, news article, blog, smoke signal, Morris Code, etc... and suddenly this one is coming, and as a result, that one will come, and next thing you know Bol Bol will jump on board in the spring and we will have the super class we've all expected our of this staff. The way we want to praise, worship, and anoint any "insiders" almost creates a "serial, copycat, insiders" dream.
I've been one of the negative nellies, and I can't wait to get great recruiting news to turn my frown upside down, but until any good news actually means a commitment, what is one to do?
It's maddening to me that so many confident or even guarantee statements are being thrown around on this site after all we've been through!

Ayo just posted a pic of the wake forest team with the caption “tough....” below it. Looks like he is weighing things already.
Wish this didn't need to be said. Ignore the few Nancy's on here, the vast majority appreciate the insight any one can provide us, including cash!
