Message: [QUOTE="gsmooth, post: 4667928, member: 9355"] yeah that sums it up. And I would add people here shouldn't count their chickens before they hatch. Nothing is certain, whether it's conference realignment or a recruit committing to the school until the official offer is publicly made to the school (conference realignment) or the LOI is signed (recruiting). Us UConn fans should know all about that. Sanogo was predicted to go to Seton Hall and Kevin Willard thought for sure he was getting him. Willard got really mad when Sanogo changed his mind and chose UConn. Shareef Abdur Rahim was rumored to be very close to the coaching staff and players at Georgia Tech. He was surely going there, right? Wrong, he chose Cal. Stephon Marbury was "certain" to go to Syracuse until he didn't and instead chose Georgia Tech. Nothing is certain until things finish and become official. I will pat myself on the back here, but it's why I was disappointed but not heartbroken, per se, when Nicolas Timberlake decided on Kansas even though insiders here thought he would go to UConn. Don't be mad at the insiders, things change. Until Timberlake officially signed the LOI for UConn a person can't assume it's a done deal, well, because it isn't. [/QUOTE]
