DocHoosier Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 On 4/9/2019 at 11:36 PM, FKIM01 said: Bob, IMO, Lester is very unlikely to IU. He canceled a visit this weekend due to "family matters", which either means there is a genuine family crisis (unlikely) or that Lester is starting to pare his list down and IU did not make the cut (much more likely). IF Lester reschedules his IU visit later, then we owe Lester an apology for doubting him and we owe his family best wishes for a speedy resolution to whatever the issue is/was. If Lester ultimately announces without rescheduling his visit, then we'll know that the "family matters" excuse was likely a way of moving on and letting IU down gently. Waiting for the apology...

I've seen too many family emergencies that really weren't. I'll do my full mea culpa when Lester hits campus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The conjecture here is nothing compared to the stuff on Twitter. Come on, man...you think no one was doubting his level of interest with the canceled visit? The doubt was expressed in a civil manner, leaving open the possibility that he had a legitimate family matter. If only all negative talk was that mild...

It’s no big deal...just don’t be surprised when you say something like you did and when you get proven wrong people aren’t going to call it out. Everyone of us eats crow on this website...we’ve all said something and it turns out we were wrong...I appreciate that you admitted it but unfortunately there are lots of those that will have to point it out for you. Hard to eat crow all in one bite...your going to be spoon fed it for a few days but you’ll get through it lol!! And agreed...your level of suspicion/criticism of the kid was very light compared to what most say out there. It’s one reason why I love this board...what goes on outside this board is insane...so glad there are some good level headed fans to shoot the breeze with about IU! Living in Kentucky now I don’t get any other outlet to discuss my favorite team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t pointing fingers at anyone here. I don’t have twitter but did read what people were saying, disgraceful. Here, there, or anywhere grown adults shouldn’t make negative comments about teenagers schedules, mild or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a bigger issue with the I told you so folks, or the see, see people compared to the idiots that represent less than .10% on twitter. Either way glad he rescheduled. Historically when visits get cancelled at this stage they aren't made up. Hopefully we have something to offer more than Michigan or Memphis.

IndySportsPartizan Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 Memphis official tweet got 1.9k likes. Indiana's official tweet is at 3.1k so far. Go like and retweet this sh** out of that tweet! Let him know we have double, triple the fandom as the other guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goonaha Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 I think a decent amount of out of state kids also think "Indy" is a nickname for the entire state, not Indianapolis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
