I know nothing at all, and I have full trust and confidence in BU and TA in these situations. But from an outside observer's perspective, it seems like the situation is approaching a "is the juice worth the squeeze?" point. Especially from a team building viewpoint.RayJ has not been telling people it’s Utah … There is some conflicting info going around and as this whole recruitment has gone on it’s all been about perception … RayJ wants to get the most $$ he can and who can blame him … So have people throw out that you’re going to Utah and watch what happens to Illinois offer …
Brad & TA need to find a way to close it down … Get the deal done …
But there’s a reason you don’t see much info about this recruitment … Lot of people have absolutely no idea what’s going on … And the people who do don’t wanna say much because RayJ camp will know who leaked info …
people can say don't worry about it, but prolonged time is never a good thing. If a player had truly made up his mind, he would just announce. Delays, pretty much by definition, mean his mind isn't made up. More time means more teams can throw money at him. When a backup plan was even brought up at all, that was a bad sign.
The problem though is it's not like we have a solid backup PG or second option. We can say there is another backup grad transfer, which is great, but he hasn't committed yet.I know nothing at all, and I trust BU and TA in these situations.

Now SLU is in the picture?

certainly wouldn't be the first time recruits tell everyone what they want to hear.Well trillys tweet would go against what RayJ is telling people but

Not trying to be rude… honestly not..
I get that sometimes players change their minds (not saying RayJ has) but it’s absurd to me that there was “nothing at all to worry about, staff has him locked up, etc” all those promises and statements for months and its starting to seem like he may not be here after all. I mean… there were comments after comments saying he’s ours. Insiders, can you explain this?
Also, what was supposed to be announced on Sunday and then got pushed back to today (which didn’t happen.)?
I just feel like we keep getting these “boom” gifs and comments of “here soon” “next few days” “this weekend” and so on. What’s going on??
Omgomgomg is it actually Furry Pollens?
Playas Gon' Play
constructive idea to the staff: don't get played.

Given what we know based on what has been shared here, if I am BU I immediately go to this plan B. We've been down similar roads with players in the past. Hopefully we have learned from those experiences.Don't think so, but rather, it seems a certain guard that played for SLU is in (our) picture.
It speaks to us all$ Speaks
With this college landscape this is true. It’s like the Wild Wild West out there.I get the frustration, but pro negotiators know this simply isn't possible. You can never fully know a person's intent, and sometimes it's useful for a party to meet with you in good faith, then then circumstances change. And a few will meet in bad faith, although you can often sniff those out in due course before rolling the dice. Honestly, I think the forum readers are the ones who get played. They take info or enthusiasm as gold, when they should know better.
Next time you hear 'lock', think 90% (at best). Even when they commit, it's probably only 95% as a small percentage will find a reason to decommit.
'cruitin = roller coaster
dang... would prefer RayJ but better than walking away with nothing if that's the pivot we have to make
I wish it were speaking a little louder to meIt speaks to us all
