Besides the Watford interview what would have changed in the last few days to make us the heavy Lean?

Not something thats made public i'm sure.  The watford interview, EJ to UK, Taylor to NW are all just pieces to the puzzle, we don't have all the pieces yet.

Thank you.  Was on the old site during the coaching search.

How many pages will we have when Mr. Langford makes his decision? 249 is my guess.

I said awhile back that we needed to get to 250 to secure a commitment.

I said 245 on March 28th. I now fear I'm low.

We better get busy  commitment might come sooner than expected. Lots of leaks and the announcement is a big deal

Archie and Ed are going to become the Tag Team Champions of the world in recruiting!!!!!

Isn't Nick a Peegs contributor?

I have no clue who this guy is. After that TylerDBrooke dude said JB Jr was transferring I don't put much into early twitter guys. Should I? I like the positive vibe and signs I'm hearing but didn't everyone learn from Rabjohn's mistake with Yogi?? Let the kid have his moment instead of trying to be first. Am I wrong here?

Agree that you can’t put much stock in what random people on Twitter say, but I have no problem with media guys/people in the know trying to break the story.  If Romeo knows where he’s going now, it’s fair game.

[CauseThatsMyDJ]

Rabjohns was unapologetic when he broke the Yogi story, as well, so he'll do it again if he gets the info.

[IUB74]

The only information I have comes from this board.  I sure like what I am reading on here, particularly from Coach, 708 and my fellow old region rat, Mile.

if Archie can make a substantial portion of what seems possible on the recruiting front, come through to fruition, WE ARE BACK!

[Billingsley99]

Once again nothing I am hearing is directly from the family.  Piecesof puzzle coming together nicely.  The family has kept it so close to the best i hate to see it break before RL Is ready to reveal. I hope he gets his day in the spotlight

I guess that's my problem. Be the adult, source your information,etc....just to put some random what I'm hearing comment isn't journalism. If it's important to break the story there's ways to do it. Contact the family and say this is what I'm hearing. In fairness to you and family I'd like to report but I don't want to take the moment way.

This isn't Watergate. Let the kid have his day.

I have verified my sources three times and they all say the same thing. "We have no idea!"

My thinking on it is if the kid wants to drag it out and build up hype after they already know where they’re going, they can’t really turn around and get upset if the news leaks out.  That’s how the process works, and they’ve been willing participants in it the whole time.  And in the case of a site like Peegs, basically the entire business model is built on breaking news before it goes public, so you can’t really blame them.  But they better be damn sure their sources are accurate before they do so.

[dyedinthewool]

Just a guess here, but perhaps RL has let something slip out while at the showcase this weekend.

I agree with all day but last sentence especially. Given the recent turn of events with Darius I would think those guys would be a little careful when releasing information. I guess that's all I'm saying. We've all had information once in awhile. I guess I'm more on the cautious side when releasing in public.

It's not fair game. It's an 18 year old kid making a decision on where he's going to college. This isn't DC politics. 

RMK was not wrong in his assessment of the media. Nor was Mike Gundy.

I'm sure he's making the rounds of all the boards he frequents. He's been spending a lot of time on another board I visit because we are "too positive" here. 

Let's keep it off of other posters on this one.  Everyone is entitled to their opinions.  When someone's opinions get a bit over the top/too foul, the mod team steps in privately

^^^This^^^. I'm pulling for RL to come to IU as much as anyone here, but sometimes I think some of us need to take a deep breath and remind ourselves that we're the adults in the room. I love this board because of it's high level of CBB knowledge and civility, but I think obsessing over this recruitment is starting to go a wee bit overboard.

Guessing also but based on what people have been recently saying, possible that he knows morgan's returning/East is ending up at IU also?

[Fundamentals]

Feels a bit like Billy Donovan days.  Even so, it’s fun to follow along.

Starting to go a wee bit overboard?  LOL  But I agree.

I’m as much of a media hater as anyone, but like I said, they’ve been willing participants in the whole process, and have benefitted from it as well.  If a decision has already been made, there’s nothing wrong with the media going public with what they know, as long as they’re 100% sure it’s accurate.

But we gotta get to 250 pages!!!

Kidding aside, I believe in a free press, but very much struggle with stealing an 18-year-old's thunder...just seems like a sh*tty thing to do.
