If he is set to go west, why's he waiting two more weeks?
Indiana board member says it's related to how he's announcing. TV maybe.

not everything means something.
If he is set to go to Indiana, why is he waiting 2 weeks?
If he is set to go to Illinois, why is he waiting 2 weeks?

You are right; not everything means something. But, I think what the poster is meaning is that, "Why wait, if his mind is made up?"
This is torture for IU fans. Most of them expect him to pick UCLA and they're taking it personally that he's waiting so long for him to just say no to them.
If there was any chance of him picking IU still, it went out the window when IU fans started calling him out on twitter. They're salty.
For anybody from IL or IND who still thinks there might be maybe just a little chance.

[FONT="]Five-star Kris Wilkes is announcing his college choice on Nov. 13th. His decision has been made. Bet the house on UCLA.[/FONT]
The glimmer of hope here is that they aren't directly ruling out Illinois. They're all saying it's not Indiana. Then they jump to UCLA because they never considered Illinois a threat to begin with.
ah well, never counted on him for the Beloved. At least he's not going to be a candy stripe. Best of luck to him.

Exactly. As huge as a get Wilkes would have been for us, it's also huge he and Scruggs didn't pick IU. If Bryant, OG and JBJ all leave after this year, the 2017-2018 Hoosiers could be pretty terrible.
I hope JG keeps pushing hard at the big time in-states. Would be huge to be able to land the locals, keep them interested and make them feel they are priorities
Any chance Wilkes is pulling an Elijah Thomas and picking one from out of nowhere (which would be us in this case)? I know the overwhelming consensus is UCLA, but...
I remember there being little mention of TAM and him even leaving them off his final list, then picking them. What am I missing?I think you're misremembering the Elijah Thomas recruitment
I don't think that Tex AM was such a dark horse. Transferring to Clemson was probably a bigger surprise, I don't remember them being a final player in his recruitment. OKST, LSU, ILL, and TexAM are the teams I remember recruiting him to the end.
