3 CBs in 45 min?

Yikes
And one of them it's his first prediction ever! He was like, even I know what this means!
Most of those guys are just doing what we're doing - reading the tea leaves, then once a CB shows up, they all jump on board so they get credit for a correct prediction too

This is like Sharon Collins all over again - these silent verbals are killing me!!

Not looking good. We will have an entire week to work ourselves into a tizzy over why he is staying in the warm climate full of sun tanned blondes, wearing shorty shorts everyday of the year the team currently ranked #2 in the country.

*What you say?* Little known fact: EVS was Mel Brooks' inspiration to write Blazing Saddles...
Evil Roy Slade : Take that big fiddle out from between your legs. There are ladies present.

Cellist : But sir...

Evil Roy Slade : I don't want no trouble, you just tuck it up under your chin like a fiddle's 'sposed to be played... now!

[pulls gun]

Cellist : Yes sir. Right now sir.

This sucks.
Yeahhh I know nothing, but based on that Travis Branham pick, I'm inclined to say this over (at least to myself). He's hardly ever gotten any picks wrong (all of the ones I looked through that he missed were decommits where he got the original school correct) and rarely changes his pick (I didn't see a single flip over the last couple years). Things could change or this could be different, but I'm assuming he's not coming home. Big bummer, but we'll be fine either way.

Thoughts on the crystal ball predictions?
Could be something could be nothing. In my opinion Kylan is torn because a lot of family wants him here really bad. Some want him at AZ. He talked to Geoff yesterday. Will talk to Brad soon I would think. I also think the NIL opportunity here is better as well. Unless AZ is blowing smoke with their numbers to him.

Fingers crossed...until you guys confirm it and the Pipers do too, I'm holding out hope

An early run on crystal balls for Arizona! I like our chances! Bout time we flip one for a change.

I hope this isn't the new "they cheated" line. Maybe he thinks we're blowing smoke. He has family here in town. There's really very little indication of any of our guys getting major bucks. If it's happening behind the scenes it might be less easy to convince guys. Kofi's likeness is on OSF billboards. That's a positive.

I have no idea what's happening in Arizona. I'm not sure how anyone would know whether they're blowing smoke just as it's pretty hard to know if our staff is blowing smoke.

Honestly, I think I'm gonna step out for a couple days and return to this board before the game against the Buckeyes. 🔸🔹
Yeah this is not that serious. We have a very good class coming in and recruiting is fluid. Honestly, I would rather have players that want to come here and that will stay here for 3 or 4 years. Not one and done’s.

Not at all true. The Student Info program that was sent to me in 1964 showed the mall covered with about 3 in. of snow. Also, from Dec. through mid-Feb., the night lows were generally in the forties. As a freshman, there were times that my 7:40 am handball class (outdoors) was delayed due to ice on the courts. But starting at about Jan. sometime, until late June, when you arose EVERY day there would not be a cloud in the sky. However, while walking to class, one could get neck damage from turning the head to see a beautiful female. Nevertheless, there were about 200-300 freshman in my class who called Illinois home....over half were from Highland Park or New Trier High Schools.

He was at the U of A last and it was the National Game of the week with a lot of press. Never a good situation for others like the U of I to be in. Especially when it is the recruit's most recent memory.
