Totally agree but imo the fear factor comes from knowing that even though a commitment and deal is done nothing has been made public or officially finalized. Other schools won’t stop offering back channel deals because it’s assumed he has a deal with Illinois. If Kentucky doubles our offer I would highly doubt this deal is done enough to make that offer meaningless.

Right now I’d be more concerned with Florida’s big pockets and their overwhelming desire to repeat.

From that link:
"We publish independently audited content meeting strict editorial standards."

doesn't inspire confidence, except I think their books are probably in good shape. LOL

Not sure I like the dramatics from Andrej camp (if that's what this is). Give him the Adam Miller treatment and go all in on Fland and Watkins/Claude

Yeah, this all seems very familiar to me. "We have our top recruit!!" ... "Patience, everyone! It's still happening. Just need to dot the Is and cross the Ts!" ... "No worries here. Barring something crazy, he's ours!" ... "We're still in the lead, but negotiations continue." ... "He's taking other visits, yes, but the staff feels confident." ... "[Top Recruit] picks [Another Program]." ... "Not sure what happened there. He verbally committed and agreed to terms. [Another Program] just swooped in with a larger bag. It happens in the transfer portal. We've got another BIG FISH we're about to reel in, though. All is good."

I have no idea if he is or not but if Andrej is setting additional visits that is a problem.

As amused as I'd be by a reverse cliff-mas (where he informs them on Inside Carolina that he's coming to Illinois while also stating he'd never go to a fake-class-having, natty-stealing, integrity-less institution), pretty sure that would be bad karma for us.

But in the moment, I'd die laughing.

... And yeah, it's not KU, but close enough

I hope underwood is aware he was used to drive the price up and AC had no intention of ever coming. I hope we have other options.

So much drama. Personally, I hope he chooses us, but if not, we will still be fine. All this roster needs is one more piece. I am confident that the insiders' certainty is legitimate and based on their credible sources. Those sources could have been misled, but we will see.

Seems like there's quite a bit of smoke. I'm sure our insiders are telling us what they know, but I'm thinking they may not have the most recent updates if Andrej changed his mind in the last 24 hours...hope I'm wrong.

There is no "unless something crazy happens" disclaimer at the end here. This was directly from the Stojakovic camp last night.

He will be taking another visit.

It looks like our insiders have been punked...If I were to surmise, we lost another one...
