Yeah, I don't agree with the whole "bad look" thing. What do you realistically want the staff to do if a family is insistent on their child staying close to home? People are also forgetting St. John's has a pedigree in the area due to their history. They aren't some mid major.

In my opinion at least, the problem wouldn't be KO not being able to successfully overcome the family issue in making the sale - that sucks, but factors like that are out of our control no matter who you have in the HC's chair. The real red flags lie with the question of the staff being on a completely different page than the actual reality.

I'd imagine they would have been told otherwise at this point if he was going elsewhere. It is courteous to. Depends on when @husky99 got that info.

I'm told that the FiOS at the Wilson house is down, but they've called Verizon for the next available service call.

Announcement may be delayed by 45 days.

Fortunately, they are at a hall in Harlem.

This has been the story all day. If he picks elsewhere, it will be a really bad look for the staff.

I don't buy this at all. It's a bad look for the kid or his family for lying to the staff. If the staff gave up because they thought they had him locked up or got the wrong impression, maybe it's a different story, but we don't think that's true in this case. In fact we've heard staff has been pushing even today. What more can they do but keep pushing despite being lied to?

I don't listen to anyone until the recruit commits. We've been burned too much and it could change until the announcement

Seriously. All the rumors are just for fun imo. End of the day, only the kid knows, and maybe family. Until he announces, it's up in the air. Every time.

Yes, this is what I meant.

It's not great to be losing kids to mediocre programs.

But the bigger problem is if the staff thinks they have kids sewn up, only to see them actually go elsewhere. It wouldn't be close to the first time in recent memory.

I think it's concerning that we still have holes and even if the staff lands Wilson they're just calling it in. 2 open schollies? Smh

Does this imply that we're out on Waters?
At this point, if we whiff on both, KO is going to feel his collar tightening.

You have no idea if they are just 'calling it in'. I interpreted the staff's supposed statement from Oz totally differently than he did. That they'd be happy with the class, but that wouldn't preclude being open or active with more guys.
