Who doesn't like to be wooed and drooled over during these visits when you're 18?
Eek
This is a wrinkle that would surprise me. Guess we’ll have to wait and see
Ooh
It’s just funny people with no sources on here say it’s imminent to try to either get likes or seem like they have an early scoop.
Ah
Seems like you were wrong about a silent commitment. Oh well
Duh
“Sources” is a weird word. There are however many people on the boneyard and just in the Husky community who do have access to something’s before others. If you have access to one of these people it’s possible you could’ve get a feeler. Not concrete reputable information. But stuff has been going around in DMs that would suggest something could’ve been imminent. It still maybe. I think we know who the insiders are. Wait for them to get excited. Everyone else is having fun with it.
"I'm not an insider, but I still like to puff my chest, and pump things up when I hear them elsewhere. I'm a gossip. I do it for fun. And then claim it's no big deal when I'm wrong, or when somebody presses me in the matter. And then do it again. And again. You should know that, even if I don't say it directly."
I think some of it is an attention thing. I will say with the McNeeley stuff in particular there have been a lot of things being passed around. Most probably is bs. But as a fan when you get information like that it’s hard not to get excited and run with it.
I dislike that you speak for yourself in words that obscure that you are doing so.
So people read that and pretend they know more than they do for clout or something.
Maybe some people are fooled by it.
I think the Jamie Shaw crystal ball got [me] hyped up as well.
I don’t think he normally makes those predictions prematurely
FIFY
Never said it was all about money. My initial comment was mostly tongue and cheek and entirely from the Kentucky side and about their offer. It was nothing about a recruit or what they would accept or about what kind or players we need. Dan Hurley has been clear on that. All I meant is that Kentucky would probably take pleasure is coming extra strong for a UConn recruit. Even said "I am not saying that is happening here" and " I have no reason to believe that or even pretend to know what Liam is looking for."
The "tongue and cheek" part is key here. Just a slip of the tongue into the groove and you're good to go, disclaimers and all.
Good God!!! Someone would have to be a complete masochist to invite you a second time to a dinner party!
You can suck the air out of a room like no-one’s business. I can just picture all the guests with their eyes rolled back and their heads in their plates while you pontificate away!
Is this anything like dinner parties you attend?
It's more like candy and hot peppers heaped on top of anything nourishing, and often flung around the table like a food fight.
And the air is more a mix of nitrous, helium, and Cannabis than oxygen.
Because somebody else brought up pizza, I'll offer that we got 3 medium at Fairfield Pepe's tonight. All were good, though with thicker dough on one side of the fresh clam pie, and a bit thicker with flop in the center on the sausage & mootz that also had onion on one half and roasted red peppers on the other.
We'd initially made a snap decision on Sally's when we got to the corner of Commerce & Black Rock. I'd only previously had and enjoyed pies from the take-out oven, and was still skeptical about it being much more of a dining room vibe than Woister street. When I emerged from the restroom, my friend had already nixed the choice to stay after the Tom Petty's "Into the Great Wide Open" segued into something
