Message: [QUOTE="Henny & Coke, post: 3178316, member: 323"] Ok gentlemen (and ladies), 24 hours away & nobody has a clue except the Jackson family. Very strange situation but I like it. I just can’t get over the timeline of IJ’s recruitment tho... [B]July/August[/B] - Article where IJ basically calls out SU (out of the blue really) & says he wants to setup a visit. [B]Later [/B]- We hear info from Bulldog that IJ didn’t like state of his recruitment - so family re-evaluates things & they reach out to SU so IJ could visit. (Kinda unheard of TBH. But amazing.) [B][COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)][U]Important to note:[/U][/COLOR][/B] At this time both Kentucky & Alabama were involved already - both had offered IJ & he had dates setup to visit both already...therefore one could assume that: --------- [B][COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]Kentucky & Alabama were part of "the problem" while Syracuse was "the solution!" [/COLOR][/B]---------- [B]Sept [/B]- IJ visits SU & all goes extremely well (we hear). [B]Few days post visit[/B] - We get amazing quotes from IJ's father about SU being basically the "basketball mecca of the world." (Ok, I may be exaggerating just a little...) [B]Few days after that[/B] - IJ posts his "Top 3" schools. (Almost like he knew right away that SU was it for him...) [B]Not too long after that[/B] - IJ sets a date for his announcement. (Again, he has yet to visit Alabama - lol - and he already knows he'll be ready to choose in a few weeks. Again, doesn't that sound like the actions of a man who has made his mind up already?) Am I mis-stating any of the facts/timeline here? Please correct me if wrong, but [I][COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)][B]that doesn't sound like a man who was going to turn around and pick Kentucky or Alabama after all this, right?[/B] [/COLOR][/I]I don't think so. If he was that enamored with either, why pick SU out of nowhere? Not like Kentucky swooped in with an offer at last second or something... But again, we have no "real" data other than our speculation. Should be fun. [/QUOTE]
