Timme with a Crystal Ball to Texas A&M from Meyer.
A&M is sure rolling in money and nee facilities, but almost literally no one gives half a crap about basketball there (I went to graduate school there and went to a whopping one super boring game). You might as well host a basketball game on the moon. I don't understand the allure.
The option I'm exploring with respect to Liddell is that he is done with his visits and has not make any indication or announcement. That could certainly be taken a variety of ways but having the last visit and not yet hearing anything is concerning on our end.
I don't agree with this. If we were the consensus leader for Liddell before the visits then yes, this line of thinking makes sense. But we weren't. At this point we can hope that our visit made things harder for him and he is now fighting a tough decision.
From what we hear in Dallas the money rolls "out" of A&M too.A&M is sure rolling in money and nee facilities, but almost literally no one gives half a crap about basketball there (I went to graduate school there and went to a whopping one super boring game).

Osu probably pressuring with lack of scholarships available, but it’s on their coaches to decide to wait or move to next recruit
Imagine that's true. He's top-50 (going by 247) so I would expect they'll wait unless they have another player ready to commit. Even then, they'd probably try and give him notice. Lotta dominoes will fall in the next month and a half.

Who else is OSU recruiting that would be competition for Liddell's spot since they only have 1 scholarship left?
Wonder if Chris Payton will ever fall into the Illini equation. Doesn't seem real high in our recruit board, but not sure he wouldn't be a quality player in the Big Ten. Reminds me of the players Nebraska has landed (Robey) the last couple of years that have been fairly effective.

Disappointed to see that Kai Jones, 4* Big man has eliminated us from the final 3--FSU,Texas and Baylor. Antigua really followed him this spring.
Wouldn’t it make sense if lidell makes an announcement on signing day or close to that date? Probably in line for some coverage. Visited his favorites, probably has a leader, digest for 2 months, and target signing period. Anything changes with schools/ coach’s behavior, can revisit. Mizz and Ill will wait it seems. Osu probably pressuring with lack of scholarships available, but it’s on their coaches to decide to wait or move to next recruit, but who knows how close and how much farther down their board the next recruit is ready to commit. Appears they can wait for right fit as 2 high level recruits already committed. So, no rush for 3, can wait to signing day time if he wants.
Perhaps there is a reason for that.......
