I think he's trying to cause as much chaos before his announcement so no one will know where he's going. It's def working. No one has a clue. It’s still intriguing though that most of the Memphis side and most of the Auburn side are still confident their schools to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Auburn has taken the lead I don’t want to give Texas any more time than they already have to try to get back ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never interacted with the Memphis fanbase much before but not a fan. They’re pretty arrogant about the whole thing; it’s made me want Green that much more.

Beaker 2,457 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Strange thing: I saw on IG where JG asked Cooper to join him on IG Live during announcement. If that was legit, seems unlikely he would do such and not choose "The Fightin' Pearls". I keep seeing "the kid doesn't know what he is going to do." That is comical. This young man is playing everybody and he knows exactly what he is going to do. He is enjoying his time in the limelight with no school, knowing everyone is watching. It's cool, it's all good, unless he picks a program that is literally a crapshoot to make the tourney like Memphis. That would be just dumb.

When he asked if he would be on his IG live for his announcement he meant would he be watching. Memphis people are confident. Auburn people are confident. Someone is getting played. Hope it's not us. In football crutin these things usually don't work out for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GwillMac6 20,607 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Hell just tonight josh Christopher trolled TF out of Michigan. Nooooo one thought he was going to Arizona State but he just committed there. A lot of "shock the world" kind of commitments happen more often in bball recruiting than fball. At this rate he could be trolling both fanbases and may go pro Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoot man football got to the point you couldn’t pray as a celebration. They’ve all but killed personalities in the NFL. Regardless, I was always pretty straight forward with my college recruiting process with coaches (for wrestling). Friends and locals I was much more coy with but the coaches always knew exactly where I stood. It would surprise me if coaches didn’t already have a feel or know the answer. Something about the idea of the foreign pro route seems like a skeezy workaround to me; not dinging it, just doesn’t feel right to me for some reason. Hope he comes to Auburn. Replacing all the seniors is no small task but man he’d be a big piece to the puzzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,641 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I would guess, the covid thing and the potential we don't have college might've allowed pro back on the table when it otherwise wouldn't (prob bc he'd be getting wooed in person). I could play Devil's Advocate on this point but I dont feel like it right now lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustache eagle 2,388 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 He could pick a college and then still go overseas pro ...

I genuinely think because of who his 2 finalists are that pro is still on the table just in case us or Memphis are hit with a post season ban between now and the start of next season. THEN he would jump to go play professionally somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As best I can tell they aren’t punished in football either unless it’s accompanied by a behavioral issues. 8 hours ago, Zeek said: Something about the idea of the foreign pro route seems like a skeezy workaround to me; not dinging it, just doesn’t feel right to me for some reason. If he goes pro it’s not going to be foreign. It would be the G league domestically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK why Jalen is destined as the recruit from this cycle to heavily consider the overseas or G league route. No other top prospect ever seriously considered those options. It just adds yet another layer to this recruitment and another obstacle. It's so frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaiah Todd (the kid who was committed to Michigan) just decommitted and is going overseas though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
