If we use the where he is from math,
IL - lived in Champaign for 14 years, so 78% to the beloved.
AZ - lived in AZ for 1 year, 6%

Sorry was unclear there. I meant itd be a group effort to spell Belo between that group.
I think it’s probably safe to say AZ has a slight edge right now. But it is very close.
I was told that Brad & staff are very confident that the OV will push him over the edge and he will end up here.
AZ NIL is good, but so is oursKofi sure does enjoy his 2022 GMC Yukon among many other perks.
I've read that he is in no hurry to make a decision. But do we have any idea
It’s going to be sooner than people think…
Wouldn’t surprise me if he takes his official to AZ then comes here and decides shortly after. Probably puts it around early March.
Things could change but that’s what I’ve gathered as far as a timetable.

I'm glad we're in his top 2, because 3rd place? You're fired!I like the idea of being his last OV.........
Kofi is for Closers*I like the idea of being his last OV.........
*as NIL proof-of-concept
Brad wants the last visit. So trying to time that up could be the only thing that drags this out.

Brad is in the running for so many great players.
2021 we missed out on Ty Ty, Mac Etienne Charles Bediako Bryce Hopkins and still were able to bring in a great class with a bunch of players who were not even on our radar - RJ Melenez, Luke Goode and Brandon Podzinski ,
2022 - missed out on Jaden Schutt, Cam Whitmore, Cameron Corhen and still were able to bring Jaden Epps, Selcir Harris and Ty Rogers
When Groce or Weber missed on the #1 target we would be scrambing for mid major level talent. That is showing how to recruit big time! We may not get Boswell but I am confident we will get another quality PG in this class.

Interesting……..
Highlights of a PG and he took not one dribble the entire clip. Just 24-26 foot bombs!
Some choices work out great. Some don't. The ones that work out were good decisions the ones that did not are not. There is no points awarded for being nicest coach, tried the hardest coach etc. Win or go home.
They don't pay Brad $4M a year for bad decisions. Brad has made more good decisions than bad ones. Nobody is perfect. Giving Grandison and Plummer scholarships worked out and was a good decision.
Hutch thru no fault of his own results say it was a bad decision.
This is one of the reasons I prefer Ames. The vast majority of Boswell's highlights are just shots which granted is great and all but a 5 star pg has got to have handles to show for.

You can go see lots of extended game footage or full game footage of both Ames and Boswell.
I greatly preferred Ames to Fears, but sorry Boswell is better than Ames. What I would like to see from Ames is full throttle play. I've seen Boswell go balls to the wall, Ames just seems to be cruising at 80%. When he feels like it he'll blow by someone for a layup, but he seems content to be better than everyone else and take it easy. I think if he would go 100% all the time, people would be floored by his talent.
They just had a big game against Simeon (where they lost) and there are at least 5 10+ minute game clips that I've seen on YouTube. Apparently Ames didn't have a great game, but I saw him score at least 15 points.

Well, I don't subscribe to this philosophy.
I understand that but I'm not referring to this small clip. I feel as if almost if not all highlights and clips on Youtube or wherever of Boswell are shots. I just haven't seen much of his handles. The fact that the vast majority of his highlights are shots and not handling/dribbling ability that a PG kind of needs kind of concerns me.
But by judging all of your reactions, I guess I'm mistaken and I apologize. Clearly, I'm just not looking at the right stuff. Sorry.

I needed $100, so I decided to rob a liquor store. On the way there, I found a $100 bill resting in the gutter. Ergo, setting out to rob the liquor store was a great decision.
