You're operating under the mistaken assumption that I'm basing this only on the external info about him getting blue chip offers, or crystal ball predictions.  In fact [pun intended], the coaching staff recognized that this kid was a high major talent who might blow up.  They pulled out all the stops recruiting him, and put us in a solid position to land him, but couldn't get him to pull the trigger before the summer camp circuit hit -- after which he inevitably blew up.  It should come as no surprise that the likes of Duke / Kentucky offered, because that's the caliber of prospect Filipowski is.  And my info that we aren't in a favorable position today, a month after his official visit, isn't based upon pessimism, as you're insinuating -- it's a reflection of what the coaching staff is feeling about their chances at this point.

Of course it isn't "fact" until he choses a school.  When he does, it will be fact.  The coaching staff has seen the writing on the wall for more than a week -- that's not an "opinion" -- and has responded accordingly.

When Flip lands at his eventual destination, feel free to revisit this subject.
