Mikey 16,625 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Still no confirmation from AU guys. Hmm... He wouldn't be the first one, or even the first one this year, to commit when he didn't have a commitable offer. The guys at Rivals, Scout and 247 are normally all over a real, accepted commitment.
