You know this for a fact that he is waiting for a better offer? Pulled it out of his ass? Definitely pulled it out of his ass. We got him on campus right before the NCAA dead period. He’s likely got visits after the dead period. Just gotta keep recruiting him and other prospects and see who all we can land. Portal recruiting is a very fluid thing and you gotta keep your options open. If someone else is willing to commit, they might play hardball like Muni suggests, but no reason to do that until the rosters filling up.

It happens all the time in the recruiting world.Coaches recruit 2 or 3 players for one position and it boils down to who says yes 1st.So I'm going on past stories I've heard.

Eventually, even these players know that if they are offered a roster spot, they need to be able to say yes or no inside a reasonable time. I suspect they already know what the offer is. To that end, if I have 5 roster spots open, I need to identify 15 players, probably, with a fairly good idea on what will be the outcome. For all we know, Rags sent another email to John Bol. (If you ain't happy, kid, you call, OK?)

Coaches handle these situations differently.....some give a deadline to communicate their decision if they have time to wait (2 weeks or a month), some pressure you to make a decision while on campus for a visit, and some say they don't have a deadline per se but their recruiting never ends until that spot is locked up (meaning if you don't decide soon, we will find someone who will commit). With recruiting for 2024's being so compressed right now due to transfer portal, I am sure no offers are being held for more than 1-2 weeks because roster spots must be filled ASAP.

What does calling someone Epstein accomplish? Pretty poor attempt at humor.
As for the topic of this thread, AJ would be a great pickup, and if he needs more time, so be it. It's his life and career, and he does not have to answer to any deadlines made by posters on a fan forum.

Agree 100% with AcesChamps in getting back on topic. The other question I have is if we have officially offered him - the staff does not publish this.

If AJ decides to attend UE I hope he turns out to be a great addition to our team.And yes Epstein is my way of being funny.

It used to really annoy me and worry me about the quality of players we were getting last offseason, but it worked out pretty well last year, so I’ve learned to just accept it and go along for the ride. Hopefully we’ll get some good news soon, but I wouldn’t expect us to publicly see too much info on kids we’re recruiting. The guys posting long lists of teams after them on Twitter don’t seem to be his kinda guys, and there’s plenty of talented guys keeping their recruitments silent. I have yet to see a list of teams after AJ or Connor Turnbull. We never saw a list of teams for Tayshawn. If it is actually truthful that we got him on campus, I think it’s safe to assume he has an offer, but right now it’s just a rumor that he was on campus. Plenty of good guys getting lots of interest and not using social media clout to drive up their interest. Pure speculation, but I think the guys that are posting long lists of interest are often trying to drive up their market price and play for the highest bidder.
