Not saying Dish has any credibility but have you forgotten when we thought we were hiring the Creighton assistant and he reportedly backed out?

Yeah this quote isn’t really a way to discount the guys credibility. I’m surprised no one has mentioned Michigan being a possibility for Michigan yet.
Step 1 is keep RJ
Completely different. He didn't back out...his wife forced him to. She didn't want to move their family.
Unless any of these transfers are married...I think we will be alright.
Not sure Michigan is a take for Michigan -- Juwan Howard not a fan of Michigan's parents? Saw it on Instagram
It was even harder for HS seniors last year with college seniors being offered the 5th COVID year. The squeeze on them was real. Saw it first hand with one of my own players.
I think it’s easy. Solution is to sign earlier. I believe this actually gives more power to the coaches to not be holding their breath on a kid only for them to flip last minute. “Always the bridegroom” doesn’t sting as much due to the transfer portal. And if the coaches get the players they want to sign earlier they may shop a little less due to what they have coming in. I think this is a win win for us.

Missed my point entirely.
I get your point....how many times have we thought a recruit was a lock, only to see him slip away toward the end? There are too many variables in recruiting to take anything for granted.
Wut? Ha ha. I just re read what I typed.
I meant I’m surprised no one has mentioned Michigan for Miller yet.

Nope.
Read post 800. Post #800 (the post immediately prior to my OP) quotes an old Dish post in which the latter says the staff is set and we're getting someone from a school beginning with C.
My reply (post 801) merely points out that at one point we thought we were getting an assistant from Creighton. Creighton does, in fact, begin with the letter "C" which would make Dish's old post accurate i/o inaccurate, as was implied in post 800.
I'm out for the day so have fun.
Yeah I saw that. Coffee hadn’t kicked in I guess. Funny response
I only accept insider news from Dishwalla. They tell me thoughts on God. If HE doesn't know ...When Dishwhite proves to be the main insider
Well checking other boards, both Louisville and Tennessee think Skyy is going to Illinois. Oh and 1 thinks he's overrated, the other thinks he's not their type of player
Did they say why they think he's going to Illinois? He's going to visit both schools, so I'd have thought they'd have more confidence.Well checking other boards, both Louisville and Tennessee think Skyy is going to Illinois.

Hopefully, because he is.
Louisville board said because of Tim Anderson. I have no idea if it was an insider or just some dude. But when you're actively searching to have your bias confirmed. anything will do.
No player is a "lock" until he signs a LOI and shows up on campus healthy and eligible. Anyone that believes lock statements about recruits is beyond naive.
I know we have "insiders" here who know more than most of us. But those insiders base their predictions on what a kid may be telling the coaching staff. And these kids typically say what they know the listener wants to hear. It's foolish to take any of these predictions as gospel.
Hopefully this is as accurate as your Alan Huss hire predition back in May.
"This I know." Immediately tells me you know nothing.
I'll take a starting lineup of Kofi, Hawkins, TSJ, RJ, and Ace any day. Don't really need a true PG when you have 4 guys who can score at all 3 levels and a dominant big man.
And defensively Ace takes over the Trent roll. Probably won't be as good but still above average. RJ is an upgrade over Plummer. TSJ is an upgrade over Grandison. Hawkins an upgrade over Damonte. And Kofi is Kofi, should at least be the same but could be better if he gets leaner.

Wow, almost sound like us. Did any say it’s not his decision?Well checking other boards, both Louisville and Tennessee think Skyy is going to Illinois. Oh and 1 thinks he's overrated, the other thinks he's not their type of player
