We probably shouldn't burn any bridges with this kid in case our insider information is wrong here. Not saying it is, but I'd rather us treat him like the rest of our commits and continue to appreciate his commitment to the O&B. I just don't want it to spill over into twitter and it make the fan base look even more toxic.

ALL of our incoming freshman are like that! We need to get them to a buffet 2-3 times a week and don't let them leave till they have ate 3 full plates. Then take them to BK for 2 Whoppers with cheese/large fry/strawberry shake and an apple pie!
I was just making a joke that was subsequently visualized with the giraffe. Not making any comment on the actual recruit.

Illini Big Board for 2023
No Fears? Did I miss something? If he’s still scheduled for his 8/28 OV, he’s still attainable. Which means he needs to be our top priority (besides JJ).

Yes, we will have plenty of guards already, but Fears is a true PG with winning intangibles. Would be a great fit alongside Epps/Podz/Harris and hopefully a great replacement for Belo who very well could be going pro after his Junior season.

It's Woodcock, man.

Your Papi timetable may be off by a year.

IF our staff truly isn't interested in accepting Reggie Bass how has a candid conversation between coach and Reg not happened yet? I'm sure our coaches know not to string a recruit along if they're not intending on honoring an offer. Could be a bad look for the program. Something doesn't add up here

I believe it has happened. I think he's trying to call their bluff. In addition, coaches are not legally allowed to talk about recruits publicly currently (maybe not until the sign?) so there is nothing they can do right now. He can post whatever he wants. In reality no one really cares outside of the program how it goes down or what he will have to say about them when he inevitably doesn't sign so it's pretty irrelevant what he does right now. But I am nearly positive they have already had the conversation with him and he's just pretending it's still going to happen or thinks the staff will come back to him when it's time to sign.

Don't get me wrong, I like Darrin Ames. But, I'm taking Fears or Boswell over him, every time.

And, no, I don't believe in package deals. And Johnson is going elsewhere.
Plethora of options in 2023 for point guards. And we get to sell Ayo -> Belo -> (Epps will still be here) -> Fears/Boswell/Ames

Sounds like a layup to me
