Summary of the Nolley recruitment.
We offered in spring with many others before EBYL.
While in summer open period, I guess staff must have took a peek at him. Heard very little about anything except Ayo and THT.
Heard little or nothing about Nolley , rest of summer, he announced OV early August for September.
Seemed wowed by OV on labor day weekend, many pics, tweets and overall good comments.
Over the next few weeks he has taken other OV, posted a bracket elimination, and many tweets back and forth to players and other recruits.
He then posted a official date for his commit as Halloween, though aweek or so later rescind that and make it October 7.
Takes a few more OV, tweets a bit more , a announced cut down to 4 in brackets.

In a nut shell this has been what I have recalled as to the events of Landers Nolley recruitment. We are close to the end, the day of his commit. It has been a wild ride, I hope no one expects this trip to end without some other twists. Hopefully our beloved are in final 2, and win his bracket. IMO, staff has been involved as much as they can. It's all in his hands now.:thumb:

If he cuts his list to 2 @ 8am will be very interesting either VaT or ILL won't be left.

He has re-worked the bracket before, and it would not surprise me to see him re-work it again.

I really think that it is down to ILL and V Tech, but him visiting Georgia tells me they're in it. I do think that he could cancel that though, he has done that before.

If it comes down to Georgia vs ILL tomorrow, Chin has earned his pay for the day.:thumb:

Is it 8a or 8p? I have seen both, and it seems tactless to post just after leaving a visit or whilst on said visit. If he has known that he is coming here, for example, he needs to shift his bracket, which he has done in the past (I guess), or offend UGA by saying thanks for your time and manpower but no thanks as this visit was merely perfunctory. He seems a good enough kid not to do that.

Jake Weingarten just posted that reports of Illinois being out in re: Nolley are false, so who knows. We will all find out tomorrow.

The way I take his tweet (although I'm not necessarily sold) is that Illinois already has Nolley (hints why they will get at least 1/2) and that they have a very good shot at Ayo (2/2).

Agreed.

Am I wrong -- isn't he the guy who's helping with the formal announcement? And he's an Ohio State guy?

It all seems kind of odd.

Savvy Illini fans Twitter-sniping at the guy who is tight with our main targets. Solid move.

Check didn’t clear?

I kid, I kid! [emoji6]

Possible.. but I swear he is like sherron Collins jr.. less dribbling ability with more hops. The truth is who knows where KU will be in 2 years
