I wouldn't count it either - unless they're talking to the Baylor president, which I doubt they are.

Baylor president seemed fairly pro UConn if I recall and debunked one of the associate ADs remarks about UConn I think

 

[GoKU]

Didn’t the Baylor 365 guys have the Baylor AD on recently? Pretty sure they’re very close with him - I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s who they’re referencing

I guess we will see who is right if Colorado jumps. 100% it will be UConn as 14.

I think this is hinging on if Colorado jumps. They are still leaning stay from what I can see.

And they made fun of the Civil Conflict

Have not watched

Well, that's discouraging. David Smoak said he talked to a highly placed person.

If it's not going to happen, I wish UConn would just kill the story. Make some sort of statement so that we can all move on.

He got this from listening to that David Smoak youtube video. Just yesterday he said we were going to formally announce the invitation to the Big 12. He's a joke. Well, at least now we know.

What did Smoak say?

Depends on who the highly placed source is.

We won’t know until PAC 12 situation is resolved or Colorado loses patience.

They must be talking about adding UConn as a stand alone. If Colorado joins the Big 12 so will UConn.

I listened to it again and Smoak said it is from "someone who I know who would know from someone who would know". Sounds like third hand?

I thought he said “from a very highly placed person, I asked. No UConn. Not now. And not anytime in the foreseeable future.”

 

[jostar1]

Now this guy is just trolling.

Like I said, hopefully Colorado joins and we can see who was right.

 

[How Sway?!]

Yeah cause ESPN would rather have the MAC on Tuesdays and Wednesdays than the PAC 12.

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

I thought he said “from a very highly placed person, I asked. No UConn. Not now. And not anytime in the foreseeable future.”

He did and then followed it up with what I noted as well. He's a bit confusing sometimes so who knows.

Yeah maybe he didn’t get it directly and the second time he spoke was the tell. The other guys were like “I think” “I believe” “I could be wrong” sooooo who knows.

Only time will tell.

 

[jostar1]

These guys were never in favor of UConn being added.

Or 4th

 

[UConn Dan]

I couldn’t get past “if the big 12 is adding UConn you’re subsidizing their football and only adding them for basketball.” You’re also adding a great overall school in a new market that has had success in football and has a huge upside potential. Do these people not have any vision? Dumb lazy takes. So ef sick of it

So BY can only sell us as a plus 1?

Smoak has not been in the pro-UConn camp since this round began…

 

[king conn]

Sorry, I should've been more clear - timeline is important when these people's "reports" are based on that timeline.

I agree with you that in terms of when such a move would happen this summer, the timeline isn't that important. You're approaching this from the perspective that you don't care when it happens, as long as it does. The Twitter folks are not.

 

[Skiblets]

Yormark must already have his guidelines from the Big 12 presidents and ADs. All these tweets are meaningless.

They’ve had their expansion plan since their May meeting (which happened after Yormark’s visit to UConn).
