Do I get a pass though? It was a weak comment; but I at least crapped on Duke and Michigan a little bit?Also, the respect being given to UNC in this thread is in direct violation of unwritten Loyalty rules.

I would say until he's on campus and suited up for games. One can get out of "signing" fairly easily these days.
Insanely fun theory!

Well, Duke is close enough that maybe some of the crap spilled onto UNC.
Why? What value could come from that?
Mirkovic is 6’9” 250 pounds, he’s the banger or at least what we’re going with and he does seem like a tough rebounder. I hear you about wanting an athletic/physical PF, but Brad thinks we are set there by all indications

I mean that would certainly explain the insiders calmness and be a kick !!! twofer. I mean Peja would probably be a great AC and help us even more w Balkan recruits. I’m gonna salivate about this possibility.
There’s obviously reason for some anxiety when this much money is involved and agents are running the show.
A hand shake deal isn’t enough to seal it. Other schools haven’t given up. Bidding has approached $3m. Who makes the final call…the player, the dad, or the agent?
On the Illinois side of this, they believe they’ve got him. Still very optimistic. But the devil is in the details. It’s not trending away from Illinois, but they need to finish this up and get a signature.
People call posts from national reporters click bait. It’s not. It’s stuff they’re being fed. Local people have been told something different.

Seriously, I'm never going to forget their defense that they're just a crappy school that offers fake classes to all of their studentsAlso, the respect being given to UNC in this thread is in direct violation of unwritten Loyalty rules.
He's a lock
Optomistic but the devil is in the detail
Not as confident as before but we still have a good shot
We didnt want him anyways
The Illinois recruiting grief cycle....
This was solidified during the Weber and Jay Price years

I’m surprised it’s not well over $3m at this point.
Lots of fish in the sea. Even if they didn't snag another one or two, I think we will have a competitive and entertaining team to watch.
Ooh the drama with this one

Well now, that depends on whether he wants to go to a real school with real classes and professors like the Beloved, right? Not a paper mill like UNC . . . .

So...basically nothing is decided.
My thought has always been if he left campus without announcing his commitment, we should probably start looking at our next target(s).
