Gibbs To UConn (not true yet; why don't y'all just give it 20 minutes)

[deedougie]

And the actual article is up as well. Was there an actual tweet post or did he just tell Meyer and he wrote the article?

Official!

I tend to trust Rothstein on these things but I'm also surprised Meyer would affirm something not true. Meyer does speculate a lot, but usually makes it known its speculation. Either way, it appears Meyer/Slater heard something good for UConn, which is a plus.

Guess not..

Contrary to reports, SHU transfer Sterling Gibbs has not committed anywhere, source told @CBSSports. List expected to be cut this weekend.

Posting a link you know does not work.

Posting a link you know does not work to a story which is not true but calling someone else out when asking you to post a link which works.

Bang up job today NYC!

NBC Sports has it. http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcspo...all-transfer-sterling-gibbs-commits-to-uconn/

UConn landed a huge graduate transfer on Friday as they received a commitment from Seton Hall guard Sterling Gibbs, a source confirmed to NBCSports.com.

We'll see what happens here. I have a hard time with the idea that Meyer ran with that without getting some actual intel. It's possible that this is similar to Malik Newman's situation, where the decision has been made but he wants to announce it on his own terms.

That's what I'm thinking, he's UConn bound.

quoting the same tweet by meyer?

The Sterling Gibbs recruiting could last until June...

OR MAYBE IT WON'T.

Not too bad...

Or, you know, maybe it will.

They claim to have confirmed it independently.

 

[JimHurley]

This happens quite often though. Guys on Twitter will say a player has committed somewhere. Then an hour later it will come out that he's "still uncommitted." And then a few days later it turns out the original reports were true. I'm 99.99% sure we're getting him now. Someone must've had information to say he committed today. So yeah, I think it's true. But it may take a few days for it to become official.

Meyer's a smart guy, he wouldn't put this out there without confirmation I would think.

 

[nomar]

We got him!
We don't got him!!
We got him!!!

He is coming here guys! Don't worry! There is too much fire with this whole thing for it not to be true! Bruce what are your sources telling you?

Gibbs denying it outright to Borzello on twitter.

Newman did the same thing. I think this is a similar situation. I'll wait to celebrate until the kid announces, though.

I agree. I think he's 98% of the way here but there's still enough room for him to go elsewhere.

This is fun!

Same situation just happened with Malik Ellison to St Johns this week.

I believe this may be because he hasn't been granted his release from Seton Hall yet. Maybe he jumped the gun.

Because the auto on animated graphics are responsible for pretty much all the complaints I've gotten in the past few weeks.

A page with 25 replies and a 1/2 dozen animated gifs is annoying as hell to read. Until I get an option for readers to opt out of seeing the annoying animated graphics - they're gone. Sorry, but I agree with the complaints.

God speed then, I get a chuckle from some of the funny ones.

He is coming here guys just going to have to wait for a couple more days for it to be official!
