I would assume so the person making the edits doesn't necessarily know his decision and leak it ahead of time.

I don't know why he needs a new edit when he's already got the greatest one of all time:

If this young man doesn't arrive at his presser in a hot air balloon we've all been cheated.

I'll never understand the whole edit generation and kids playing things out. Whatever happened to come to a decision and let it be known. Guess I'm way to old school. So frustrating that today's kids crave so much attention for likes, followers, etc.

It's also just good business.. The more followers and attention equals more money. It's the same in other industries. Actors and actresses will lose parts if they don't play social media game. Players can get better endorsement money if their social media profile is bigger.

At this point I wouldnt be suprised if we didnt hear anything at all from the 3. Supposedly Shannon has know and still hasn't become public with his decision. These kids get in no hurry! Just because the deadline to make a decision is today doesnt guarantee that they have to come publicly with their decision.

Obviously we’d all love Coleman, TSJ, and RayJ. But, I’m curious, how does a staff handle reaching out to guys who would only have a spot here if CH or TSJ stay in the draft?

Seems like a “we can only take you if X leaves” isn’t a pitch that makes a recruit feel like a priority.

Feels like late draft decisions can be a kind of detriment to navigating the portal, at least at this point. Any insight into how those convos are navigated?

Not to mention it is good business for Dan, given all of the foot traffic we have given to these recruiting pages. The days of a simple "I am back" message in a newspaper are long gone, and it does not bother me in the slightest.

Assuming the best-case scenario manifests, doesn't it make sense that underclassmen like Dain & Ty get strong consideration to start, in order to prevent the others from thinking of the portal, later on? (They all need some PT)
I hope RayJ jumps onboard, but I also love Yuri Collins' game!

No disrespect, but Im guessing you probably never had the chance to do what they are doing. They are in the prime of their life, with once in a life time opportunities to have some fun with it and get some attention. Let them live
