but the goodies are running out.

Are they? Are they even in yet? Maybe some are waiting for after their bowls to declare. Portal window closes on Jan. 2nd. I don't think it's a coincidence that it's a day after all the NY6 bowls and the semi-finals. Maybe Kelly knows of some guys that are enter after the 1st. Know they want to leave, but didn't want to miss out on playing in a NY6 game. Maybe BK knows he's gonna process some guys that are playing in our bowl--maybe they know it too--but wants to give them 1 last opportunity to show what they've got to potential suitors.

Or maybe other coaches are focused on ESD tomorrow and haven't done their player evals yet. Knowing how Kelly wants to build the program through the high school classes, I would imagine of all the things he's having to do right now, tomorrow is probably at the top of his priority list. Making sure all the commits are locked down and ready to sign and maybe trying to flip a couple guys. Then tomorrow his #1 priority becomes portal evals. And maybe he learned from Harris and Chestnut and wants to actually sit down with them and get a better feel for who they are as human beings. With spots so limited, he can't afford to miss, so maybe his offers are gonna be based more than simply tape and need.

Who knows? This December calendar is insane and hard to navigate. And we may strike out. Kelly's plan may fail. But there's no way you can have been paying attention to him these past 2 years and think he doesn't have one. Like I said, his plan may not work. But he ain't out there just winging it and leaving it up to "hope and prayer."
