I don't know the name of the school off the top of my head, but I know there's not enough students to have to worry about social distancing.

Any updates on last weeks visitors? Was hoping for some results from them.
I might be wrong here, but the fact that we have 2 commits this early for 2022 is not very normal for us. I recall Ayo committing first way back when and that was in November. Curbelo was sometime in November too I think and Kofi was all the way in January. Gotta be patient and give these kids time to visit all of their options, no reason for them to rush. We are sitting in a pretty good spot right now.

Oweh visited Penn State right after, was recently or is at Oklahoma now, think he has one more after. Corhen visiting FSU and LSU. Whitmore visiting Nova September 17th, can likely kiss that one goodbye but can always hope. A waiting game now

This is true, but if you look at the 247 top 100 it looks like about half of them are committed somewhere, so it wouldn't be abnormally early for any of the 3 who visited to commit, and there was chatter here from insiders that at least heavily suggested an impending commitment (as I read it, may even have suggested 2 commitments).

Not gonna lie this is a pretty hilarious comment considering just weeks ago we recruited over a kid and forced him to decommit
The one with serious attitude and behavior problems? The one that was told to change his perception and didn't? That one? ohhhh... yes, but of course

You can change your behavior. Changing your perception isn't so easy.

I never saw any reports of him being arrested, so perhaps any perceived attitude or behavior problems are a bit less than serious....

I get being disappointed at potential recruits teasing/jerking fanbase around, but what has Schutt done to deserve the amount of hate for choosing another school over us?

We're adults here, I assume, and these are high school kids. Some of you need to grow up a bit.

"He's not very good so I hope he enjoys being recruited over at Duke. He should have come here and been a star!" -Illinois Loyalty, about every recruit we lose to a blue blood
Well, we have some of the best and worst fans in CBB. They both are represented on this board.
I’m not getting this at all. Kid didn’t lead us on. Kid didn’t say anything bad about us. Why aren’t we happy for him? We got two great guards in this very class.
Plenty of salty posters over Schutt who supposedly think he’s not going to be good..
There have only been two negative comments about Schutt, and several positive ones, so it's not like "we" or "The Board" have slammed the kid (unless I missed some deleted posts).

To this board's credit, we have way more reasonable people who recognize this is an 18-year old making an important personal decisiom, who's done nothing wrong, than the couple people with negative opinions. (y)
