But when do they actually come? I mean there is offseason for these guys and such. I assume they will decide by summer cause they gotta start school somewhere in August.

Thanks for the lengthy reply. I was literally trying to understand why its still quiet on recruits. Other schools are faced with these same list reasons. I guess it will boil down to money right?

All this name calling comes from a bunch of "I got picked on too much in school, im fighting back in an online forum" losers .

Thanks for the actual answers to what I was wanting to know about.

Likely after they take finals and pass their spring classes at the school they are currently at in order to be eligible for the fall semester.

How has it taken 3 pages for someone to point this out?

I mean yes this was a retarded OP that deserved to be told so (it happens) but Holy frick guys.

Thats the part that stresses me. It seems like CWW is zigging while everyone else zags. Maybe there are other schools doing what we are doing but I don't follow other teams very closely so idk. Seems like the Duke's of the world are just signing top portal talent like normal. I think CWW is using this strategy because he needs 12 guys, not just a few. He is hoping to get some of these 5th year guys on a discount when the other big schools are already filled up.

thanks. I never assumed kids could be in the bubble w/ grades when a coach is actively persuing a player(s). I mean alot of kids have already signed in the portal and choosen their schools out of hs. Why am I retarded when you gave an answer to a question i asked? Your answer is maybe one of several reasons why. Sounds to me your more worried about what a bunch of internet trolls who spend their whole lives all day, everyday on a web address trolling several posters. Smdh. Wild.

But just think. From the portal visits we know for sure have happened, we have a 100% commitment rate. Doesn't get much better than that. Relax, we will have a team. you need to email Wade and ask that he include you in the daily update newsletter/email he sends out. then you will not have to be all worried all the time.

Because of the time I had to spend 2 days explaining the difference between the RPO and the Read Option about 6 months back.

I was thinking like what someone else said, does he have a group of guys quietly commited? Then I wonder why is it so hush hush then? Doesn't sound authentic. Literally there is NO media reports of even someone visiting or being talked to or press reports from WW about the progress of assembling his team. Im sure he will at some point go in the field of what is it now, 70(?) teams into the post season but it seems really quiet

This is a football driven board. In football, players in portal need to decide and sign quickly so they can get on campus for spring classes, so they can go through spring camp, and semester starts 2-3 weeks after portal opens

Basketball has a lot more time, I’m sure many would like to be here for summer but they don’t have to be here until fall

My guess is its a bunch of 5th, G league, NBA hopeful guys and if they all annouce they are coming, it'll scare away other potential signees. If they all end up here then it wouldn't matter but if they don't get ruled as eligible then we ar eleft with no roster at all. (No loophole guys or regular recruits)

The counter to my theory is that if this were true, wouldn't there be rumors of the second tier type of guys we are recruiting in case our first choices don't get eligibility?

I get LSu has reason to be quiet but why are the recruits staying quiet as well? You'd think another school would catch wind that a guy is silently committed to LSU when they try to pursue him and he doesn't reciprocate. And if these recruites ARE still talking to other schools, are they really committed?

This whole thing makes my mind spin. I just keep landing back on CWW is good at building rosters so let the man cook.

Just let the coach this board begged LSU to rehire earn his 4M$ salary his way, just let the man do his job, stop worrying, General Wade has this under control
