Marcus Wilson's public opinions and Twitter twaddle on Chuck Bailey are good for Bailey but it won't have any effect on Bailey's plans. If he's that good, he will be in the Portal in April anyhow.

Marcus might like to see Bailey and Bol in the same uniform so the Twitter twaddle may be wrapped in purpose. I would prefer that Marcus doesn't become the thread that never ends but I can't see evilleintentions allowing that to happen.

I have stayed out of the Wilson saga, but I will go on record to say I think this tweet does not help the school or the coach. I feel it breeds doubt in the coaches decision in him not being a starter for fans and the player. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt and resisted the urge to post that tweet despite seeing it a few days ago. Since we’re already discussing it though, it’s hard to give him the benefit of the doubt when he follows the Chuck tweet up with this tweet an hour later. We may all still be reading into it too much, but damn does he love to leave room for “the idiots” to speculate.

As for the tweet regarding CBIII, I guess it comes down to how you interpret "MY". I took it as an accomplishment for him. "Look at the guy I recruited. See, I was right about him being good". No harm. Intentions sees the "MY" as possessive. "That is my recruit and belongs to me. If I want him to leave, he will". I can see it going that way as well which is the damn problem with these tweets. No one can figure out the meaning which as Larry says, leads to idiots speculating.
Marcus is too smart to not know what he is doing with this crap. He wasn't doing this type of tweeting 2 years ago. Something happened in the last year, and Marcus really, really wants to say things. I have a feeling that something starts with a "B" and ends with a "L". Regardless of the reason, he needs to either say what he wants to say, or stop the vague BS tweets. It's only hurting the fans and players, who have all been through enough lately.

Hopefully he shows up to the ‘99 team reunion later this season, the Aces are still winning and looking like a good team at that point, and he comes out and makes a public statement supporting the program and how proud he is that he was apart of a staff that was able to turn it around so quickly, then we can all put this to rest.
I highly doubt all that will happen, but hopefully he at least appears for the reunion or speculation will run rampant again.

Wilson is friends with his Dad and led the recruiting. Ragland had connections with 1 degree of separation. Craig Snow was directly involved. Marvin Coleman was directly involved. Other players were directly involved. Both Ziggy and PrezP were directly involved. Ragland closed the deal, as all HC’s do.
There’s no “my recruits” here. But what is here is using praise to inject self-praise and clout chasing.

Seems like we are getting a refresher on why a 4-star player would come to Evansville, as if the place is staked out on Skunkwater Flats, Ohio. The only other thing I see here is a jab at Ragland for using Bailey as a member of the 2024 version of the Vampire 5. We can probably expect a lot of lineup modifications between now and December. At the moment, I think it's working as a genius move by Ragland. The Vampire 5 concept is a different look and it's harder to match up against. It's also spreading out the playing time, keeping players fresh and engaged, out of foul trouble. Whatever else Wilson wants to say about Chuck Bailey seems to be missing the point.

7 pages of misinformation and character assassination by people who couldn't pick him out in a grocery store.

Good to see positive comments on UE and self deprecating humor. I think we can put this one to rest imo. Hope he continues the public support for the rest of the season.

Marcus responding to a fan that asked if he was surprised how quickly the resurgence happened.
Here’s some other responses to fans:
We’ll never know exactly why his time here ended so abruptly, but if he’s back to fully supporting UE like it seems he is, then I think we need to forgive & forget.

"But I will love and support my alma mater forever." - Coach Wilson
There's not much you can read into this post/quote. That's the bottom line.
