While true, Brunson not going pro surprised a lot of people.

Brunson was shorter, but was 22nd coming out of high school and started for the national champions. Nobody can predict with 100% certainty how many years whitmore will play college ball. There are a ton of factors and how much they matter vary person to person.

Let’s not focus on one-and-domes when they are still high schoolers. High end talent is needed if we want to seriously contend for a championship.
Pretty much my point.

Chester also liked the tweet that said that Cam will announce tomorrow, and to Nova

Cannot find the tweet as I type
He also liked Corhen's commitment to FSU. People need to stop reading too much into social media likes.

Shows he's a good sport and still rooting for guys he's had a relationship with. Never know who you might see in the portal....😎
Agree, just don't think you can read anything into what he likes on social media. His response to a post from a player who's told him he wants to play for the Illini is probably the same as his response to a player who's told him we're out of the running.

Just in case anyone is actually getting their hopes up on Whitmore, he got three new futurecasts (Rivals) today/yesterday (10/6) for Nova. Not saying that's determinitive, just that Whitmore to us would be a very surprising outcome at this stage.

It’s fun riding the anticipation and then crashing back down. Just like Groce times. But as @sacraig, said:
No need for a cup if none of our hopes were up in the first place.

You rarely see a H.S. kid play defense like that! He also looks a legit 6'7, and has the handles you want for a SF. Certainly not the crazy run-jump athlete that Whitmore is, but not many are.
I was just watching highlights of him doing 360 reverse dunks in game!

I live in Morro Bay, won $700M on monday night and plan to offer Whitmore a $5M NIL deal....trying to get in touch with his people, any connection help is appreciated...

..btw, jk but guy can dream

Well a kid you “lose” now may end up in the portal in a year or two. Never want to burn bridges.
That too

Plus - let’s not ignore that recruits probably see how you treat recruits you lose. If you send the message that you only want them to commit to you, probably negates any talk of wanting what’s best for the recruit. I’m sure most ACs that are young enough to be on Twitter do the same

Ehh, to be fair, I think people read more into them than what's on the surface.

I think some interpret Chester liking the Cam - Nova post as "we're still in it" when the post is literally "
"It’s nice to be included in the graphic but…Nova". If anything, Chester's like reinforces the obvious.

Chester liking Ty Rodgers "closing time" post likely indicates they're trying to close. I don't think that's much of a secret.

& the Corhen to FSU? I don't think a lot of coaches have animosity towards a kid when they go elsewhere. I would imagine the like is an indication he's genuinely rooting for him. No need to burn bridges.

The Loyalty server if Whitmore chooses Illinois tomorrow...

This is comedic, yes, but just to clarify... this is not what a server looks like. I feel like I need to put that out there working in the datacenter hardware industry. "Thanks for that FAKE NEWS REPORT, B-ILL. Now back to our regularly scheduled programming."
