Boston announcement?

As you imply, Jones has already made her decision. We just won’t know what it is until next week.

I was just thinking back to something someone said about Boston not coming means Jones won't either.

So if Boston's team plays tonight at 6 PM EST, then has her signing ceremony at say 9 PM, and doesn't sign with UConn, how could Jones change her decision, and have everything notarized in time?

What happens to a notarized document that is burned?
 
Dorf,

Let's summarize because you talked about this in the Jones thread. You think that if Boston commits to UCONN, the Huskies have a very good chance with Jones. If Boston goes to ND, Jones goes to Stanford.

I think she makes her decision totally independent of what Ms. Boston will do.

I think Jones knows our will know before the rest of us what Boston is doing. To think it doesn't influence her decision would seem naive.

In one way no effect because they’ve both already made their separate decisions. In the other way more likely. Because I believe they’re linked.

Agreed that the choices are already made, they just haven't been announced yet. Why do UConn's most coveted recruits do this to us every year? Like Nancy Kerrigan said..........Whhhhyyyyy?!? :eek:

We're not the only fan base saying this, though I think the short list of schools on Jones and Boston's lists are less optimistic than we are.
 
I am starting to think I should avoid the BY for the rest of the day... The over-analysis of the decisions of two High School Girls is amazing. The Jones delay's her announcement thread got to 15 pages in just a day or 2... this one could get there too. Let's not think this to death... :rolleyes:

My magic 8 ball says "all signs are good"... so it will play out as it plays out. :);)

Wow! I had no idea that Worcester Academy sent the entire team to St Thomas to play an exhibition game. Really nice Thanksgiving break, considering how cold it will be in the Northeast over the next few days.

I remember reading somewhere that her entire team was going to be there this week. I didn't pay a lot of attention to the article at the time. I basically glossed over it. I thought it was for a tournament, but I was (correctly) informed by UConnCat that their season does not begin until December.

Some high schools have already started. My granddaughter's BB team is 2 games into a thanksgiving holiday tournament here in So. Cal, that will resume Friday. From my vantage point, it appears that this scenario was very carefully planned out by Boston's camp.

1. To be at home in the Virgin Islands during the early signing LOI period. 2. To have her entire team, coaches, parents, family, friends and neighbors all present with her. 3. And just by "coincidence", as luck would have it, UConn just happens to be on the island playing in a tournament that week.

That's a "PERFECT storm" if you ask me. Based on all of these things dovetailing very nicely into a nice tight little package, I'm stepping as far out on a limb as I can go (and putting my reputation.....such as it is, on the line), and predicting that Boston made up her mind long ago, and is joining the UConn family. She'll sign her LOI today at a formal signing ceremony and celebration in front of the people that are closest to her. She'll "officially" be a husky by the end of the day. :D

I'm so sure of this, I'm going to go all in and shove all my chips to the center of the table (Jim Fassel), and borrow a term from the late Justin Wilson, I guarantee it!!. ;)



Of course if I'm wrong, I'll have to step back into the shadows for awhile until this is forgotten by most of my BY brethren. :cool:

This is the kind of thing that can happen when you have lots of idle time on your hands waiting for a recruit to make their announcement. :confused:

i meant intentionally discarded. It's possible for an individual to notarize two (or five) LOI's and only submit one.

Isn't the whole concept of needing something notarized so it can be witnessed? She's still on the hook for the school she had document notarized.
 
This delay is not good. I have a bad feeling Tennessee or ND has sneaked in the last minutes to steal these top recruits from Geno.

Then so be it. These would not be the first top recruits he strikes out on, and it wouldn't be the first light recruiting class either. Life goes on and would more likely steer the top recruits from '20 and '21 our way since there would be so much playing time available it's not even funny.

What's to say after the signing, she can't go to their hotel and hand it to Geno personally? :rolleyes:

Anticipation anticipation is making me late Is keeping me waiting. Carly Simon’s voice is in my head for 6 and a half more hours. Or the children asking “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Every 5 minutes. Gonna be a long afternoon

I speculated on the possibility of 5. It gives her another week to decide. I think it’s unlikely but possible. That way the notary can’t leak any state secrets.

That's not true. Yes, a notarized document confirms that the signature is indeed from the person who signed it. But until the school receives the signed LOI and then files it with the NCAA, there is no commitment on the part of the student.

Relax... Jordan was never a possibility .. UCONN came late to the party. Horston even stated the relationship she developed with holly and the program won out and Tennessee recruited her the hardest. Most recruits like to take all there visits to make sure it’s the right choice and what recruit would want to turn down a free trip to all these programs... it’s the excitement of the recruiting process.. the fact her family is in MASS the fact she’s home at her parents with her high school team and UCONN the only team on her final list also there bolds well.. I would be shocked if she chooses another school. Even muffett stated she’s done for the recruiting class and would be shocked if she ends up signing another player. Relax .. all signs are pointing to UCONN .. have a little faith.. the announcement was in plan for months and months that’s why the delay it all makes sense .. the setting couldn’t be any perfect
 
I believe the notarization was necessary to verify that the signature took place prior to the Nov. 21st deadline so that she wouldn’t have to wait until the spring signing period.

I think Y’all land Boston. I just don’t feel all that good about it as a ND fan and Usually my gut feeling is right. Y’all will probably be able to go and pop some bottles in a few hours.

Better Carly Simon's voice in your head than the voice of your neighbor's dog Harvey. :eek::eek:

ND needs a post player like Boston tho. Especially with losing Jessica and Bri. Brunelle and Boston would compliment each other well. But I think Boston is all UCONN and I’ve felt this way for a couple weeks now. Just means ND is gonna need to hit big in the 2020 class. But I am pleased with the two players ND has in this class.
