You're an old person and likely a grandfather, because that is 100% what a grandfather would say. Enjoy your Werther's Originals and Matlock.
Wait … I thought I told everyone it was a lock according to certain people ?
Scott is confident … Brad is confident …
Facts come out and people go quiet … Funny how that works …
Thank you for reposting this my friend …
I presume she didn't have Utah and Baylor offering her a big bag of cash? if she did, and she STILL said yes to you, she must REALLY love you! Or, perhaps she was just impressed by your cousin...
All available data points will be used, old man.
Relax…it’s going to be ok.

Dear Insiders,
Apologies for any ingrates on here. They don't mean it, they're just emotional sometimes.
Sincerely,
A guy who knows that even if you don't preface every tidbit of info you share with, "I'm hearing X might..." or "It's looking like Y could..." that you are not making any promises and you're just trying to please your fellow diehards and make this board more interesting.

Are you upset? Need a hug? Or, a juice box?
Utah's offer was reportedly dwarfed by ours. It was also said Baylor couldn't bring what we can/could. So it was never about the money, he just didn't want to be here. Which is completely fine, but now what are our options for a solid PG?
Listening to the kids on my son's 7U travel team, this accurately reflects where I am in life.
I wonder if the "Baylor's leading" trend is just Illinois fans who emotionally gave up after Flagler announced he's returning.

Man, I have very much soured on "insiders" this year (no offense to our resident guys). My Twitter timeline is FULL of random accounts with "sources" being retweeted. There is so much disinformation, misinformation, and potentially legit information available, it will make your head spin.
Anyhoo, would be really cool to go 3/3 and add that lauded missing piece to the crew!

Can you imagine if after all of this we actually landed him, and the NCAA decided it was finally going to crack down on "pay-to-play" and used RayJ and Illinois as its sacrificial example?
I am in no way, shape, or form an insider hunter.. their info is really the only reason to come to this board.. and it's much appreciated
BUT I will say with this recruitment, the posts were way more than "we're in a good spot" types of posts. I understand how these things can change and it is what it is if he does indeed choose Baylor but between the "courtesy visits" posts and the numbers of GIFs insinuating 3 good things as late as yesterday seems like we were lead to believe this was more in the bag then what it was.
Hope I'm eating a big helping of crow in 53 minutes

Any Weird Al gif will receive an automatic like from meOr he made everyone think Illinois tampered to cover up Baylor's tampering.
Matlock is the best, we could use him todayClose on one thing
I don't know what this means
Ehhh…it’s hard to nail on this stuff especially when nobody knows what’s going on and there is conflicting info out there.
