I don't see how Nolley moving up his decision date could be construed as anything but positive for us

Agreed, the last visit probably gets cancelled 1-2 prior to announcement.

Any chances Conditt/Ayo cancel and announce same time?

One can hope...THT along for the ride

Nolley's OV schedule has been changing a bunch so I wouldn't read into the fact that he had planned to be at Georgia State. He had also planned on announcing on Halloween. Plans have obviously changed. This can only be seen as a good thing for us. We are the only OV he has had, and he is now looking to shut things down 3 weeks sooner. I'm guessing he will visit VT and that may be it.

I told myself never again until the staff proved it had a track record at U of I. Been burned with my hopes so many times....throwing that all to the wind now. I am buying in that we will get a solid 2018 class!

That's where I'm at. These guys really want the right type of player. The focus and passion are there, and they also seem to have the kind of strategy to support getting them there. Really excited to see who signs on, although no one really knows yet exactly how it will unfold.

No 247 CBs for Nolley or Castleton yet. Let me cast my votes. For LN, he's itching to come out with it. Castleton's comments read like Florida just isn't giving him enough priority. Have to love hearing him echo that "positionless" point.
I know, I know....too many tea-leaf readings, but it's fun! :)

I think our likely class is Nolley, Castleton, Conditt, and Ayo.

If no Ayo, probably THT. It does seem like THT may be watching to see who goes where before he decides.

I guess I don't feel we get both of them, but hey, I'd take it!

Beggars can't be choosers.

Yeah we won't get both Castleton and Conditt.

The dream is Ayo, Nolley, Castleton, and THT, imo.

We aren't going to take 4 just to take 4. Ideally Ayo, Nolley and Castleton...then would over sign for someone special. THT, Iggy or BPJ would all probably qualify. Only top tier guys. JMO.

I am really hoping for that quick run of commitments like when DJ Richardson, Bertrand and Paul took the leap in 2009.

I think Corey is a bit too optimistic about Florida's chances with Castleton. He seems to think it is pretty much a done deal for Florida, but I wouldn't be so confident.

I agree w/your assessment. Think we've gained significant ground as to his ideal basketball situation. Castleton knows he's on the clock. At least a 50/50 shot (WAG) this could break our way. No inside info.

Yes sir. Colin has said that Florida was his dream "academic" school. They are in on a bunch of prospects. I am not sure how much of a top priority he is for them. If it was really a dream school, he would have committed on the spot when they offered him or during the official.

Not bad timing considering Nolley's rescheduled announcement date. Anyone remember Ayo's other OV dates?

Wake Forrest is the 9/29. Don't think he has any others between that and UI. And none others after UI.
