But has this theory every actually worked out? Like can anyone remember a recruit that used this tactic and actually picked Illinois?
Missouri sucks.
no time to go back through all the post but I gather all the optimism yesterday has all but disappeared?

who ever deacsrule is I hope your from the scout board, cause your getting roasted over there on the WF board but its making for some funny reading, and a few good belly laughs
The Jordan brand sponsors 21 active NBA players, including Jimmy Butler (basketball), Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, Kawhi Leonard, Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony.
For those looking for something to hand-wring about, I say stop focusing on a kid RT'ing a picture of himself and Chris Paul (who wouldn't do that? I would do that. CP is awesome.) and worry more about this fact:
I could be huge in Ames. I already hate the Hawkeyes!
On that note, someone on the WF board posted "...midwestern walmart fans of a university that's easier to get into than a pickle jar" and my first thought was that they must have us confused with Iowa.
Morgan Park wears Jordan brand...I don't think we need to look into this any further lol
haha I meant it as sarcasm! I agree with you, I'm actually surprised they are doing the decision at a Jordan store if I'm a recruit I want nothing to do with any shoe companies no matter what the reasoning
Not that it is the end all be all, but Ayo retweeting all this Wake stuff might be nothing, but it certainly isn't positive. Have we ever had a commitment where the player retweeted the other team's stuff and not ours and then committed to us? It's not that it's 1 or 2 things. It's that it's 6 or 7 yesterday.
We've had the opposite (retweeting Illini stuff) occur on just about every recruit we've lost. Does that count?

Ayo via OGBoard said:Hitman Hart It appears that Illinois fans are hyping up their 2017 recruiting class the same way the Bzzinners were hyping up Wake's 2012 recruiting class. Weird.
Yep. Quantity can really distort class rankings. Here are the composite 247 player rankings of the Illinois 2017 class:
78 (Mark Da God Smith)
173
108
513

Well I seems to me that is more reason to be concerned. MP wears Jordan, he announcement is at a Jordan store, CP is a Jordan guy, Jordan even had a wake forest edition CP3 shoe.

One thing is for certain, Ayo and his family will make this decision with his head and his heart. They aren't making this decision just because Illinois wooed them on the visit. He'll choose Illinois because he knows we have a superior brand to WF. When both teams are at their peak, Illinois has much more appeal due to a far larger fan/alumni base.
Think of the last time you've been anywhere and seen a WF logo. I've been to LA, NO, NY, all throughout the Midwest, and abroad and seen the block I. I can't remember ever seeing a Wake logo.
