So Timme's final 5 for the November 14th announcement date are: Texas A&M, Alabama, Gonzaga, Arizona and Illinois. An interesting 5 to say the least.

It feels like he is waiting to see if some bigger names come after him. Wouldn't be surprised if he waits til spring. Then again nothing would surprise me with his recruitment.

His Mom and Dad's divorce lawyers are working on a new announcement date and location. We need to be patient, negotiations are fluid.

This would have been a funny snarky line in other recruitments but unfortunately might be true in this one.

My dream commitments are DT, OT, and QG. One can only hope and have positive dreams. Drew, Oscar and Quincy would complete a fantasy team come true. Let's hope we can maybe get one or two or maybe all 3.

Throwback Tuesday! You must be a new fan. This is what our recruiting boards used to be like before whiffing on top targets for 10 years.

At this point, something other than an empty jersey may be dreaming.

I don't have any unique information on this one, but when a recruitment is as chaotic as this one, there's usually one or both of the following going on:
  1. The kid (or his camp) is holding out for a better offer (be it scholarship, or otherwise) and is playing games with coaches to try to make that happen.
  2. There are too many people involved in the process, and those people have different opinions on how things should go. Let's not forget, 17-18 year old kids aren't seasoned at making decisions for themselves. If a kid has a coach and multiple family members all telling him different things, it can get messy real quick.

#2 in your post is probably true and very unfortunate.
