Yeah but then there's Noah Locke who's also ready to decide and then things get a bit confusing if he also picks Michigan.

How? They say offer is pulled kid. It's not hard. They've done it less than a week ago.

Castleton going to Michigan cost at least one guy his ride

But he is making his video Thursday? He knows where he is going, has known since before his visit to VTech. Just paying schools courtesy visits, and enjoying the benefits.

I would agree that he probably already knows, but he could make three different videos and still be able to lend some legitimacy to the UGA OV.

Reading between the lines of his recruitment, there’s no doubt in my mind that Nolley ends up at Illinois.

I've noticed that it tends to have that "feel" that seemingly turns out in our favor. Not quite Mark Smith Esq. But with the Twitter activity, to Ebo's infamous "wrap it up fam" tweet, to the girls basketball player, and even the filming of his commitment video early... the staff has put in tireless effort with him and have worked every angle. In the end, I think he's ours! :illinois:

Addaya has been awfully quiet lately. Somewhere out there I think she is smiling.:)

Doesn't he know how to build suspense, haha! You don't name a favorite days before announcing your decision:huh:

Sounds like we may go the JC route for a big this year & of course we'll continue recruiting BPJ, but I don't have high hopes for him

Kinda like how ET named us his favorite a week or two prior to committing to A&M?

He isn't really an "OSU rivals guy".

He basically had been talking to all the top 100 kids the last few months (i think rivals was pushing an up and comer that younger kids will talk to).

He became an OSU writer like last week but that's more of the side gig as he will continue to deal with recruits of all schools.

think of him more as a bossi type who just happens to write for one team on the side.

exactly

I started following him about a month or so ago, thats exactly what he is.

I think Jake's real calling is politics.

Justin‏ @Jstnro40 1m1 minute ago
Will Illinois sign anyone in early signing period at this rate? Lol

Jake Weingarten‏ @jakeweingarten 14s14 seconds ago
They clearly have many targets, wouldn’t be shocked

Pull who's ride? Do you know if they'd take a big over Locke at this point? I don't.

Currie kid reclassified to '18 to commit to Michigan then decommitted upon Castleton OV.

I am guessing it's best to stop holding out hope for a guy who cancelled an in home with Illini coaches.

Yeah that cancelled in-home is definitely a back-breaker

another reason why Finke and Black are such key guys this year. If one of them can take a big step up and showcase to these kids how Antigua and BU's offense can utilize them than it's going to be smooth sailing from here on out.

I think we've all but got Liddell already. Okoro will be harder. Bring those two in and no one will worry much about bigs.

Yep. Agree that Liddell seems like an Illini lean. Hoping for an early commitment. Okoro is definitely going to be a much harder pull.

I strongly believe our coaches have already been told by Castleton.

I suspect YES. He's been very devoted to that bracket. I doubt he'll skip the championship battle between the two finalists.
Click to expand...

If he does so, it would likely be after his OV to Georgia, or else his final 2 would have to include Georgia...
