Another possible interpretation is that Nerlens is
in part mocking all of the attention he is getting, and at least part jokingly saying he's going to "shock the world". Even if he did or still does enjoy this to whatever extent, it isn't difficult to imagine there is part of him the sees the humor with so many peoples emotions jilted by anything he says or does. I mean it's possible his tweet could have meant what anyone on here said, but even if it wasn't sarcastic, we all could be reading more into it than was intended.
We saw his comments about "insiders", so unless he is
lying, the so called insiders are just passing on speculation and are very likely to not be worthy of our attention or emotion even if they have had information correct in the past. This is how cults work. The flat earther's used to kill people like me.

(Actually they still do, I'm just not spreading anything important enough)
Seriously, I am excited and think we have a good shot, but I realized all of the arguments for or against any school are worthless unless they're being communicated to NN. Even then, the best arguments don't always win. I can still have fun while admitting, "I don't know". I wonder if there is any contractual agreement with the ESPN announcement show and if it is contributing to this spectacle?
