Any behind the scenes information on the last 12 hours of Harbor's recruitment?

I'm stoked that we landed Nyckoles Harbor! I watched all of the press conference of Shane and how he talked about it coming down to the wire. Does anybody have any insider knowledge as to what exactly Maryland and Oregon were doing to really get into his head???

Apparently a lot of back and forth in his mind the day before but his father says he thought SC was his favorite all along. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/nyckoles-harbor-ends-whirlwind-recruiting-process-by-picking-south-carolina/ar-AA170vxo

I read that article but I didn't know if there was anything more specific. In the presser, Beamer said certainly these days with NIL, you can get into a bidding war for a lot of players but he said that he is confident with how we do things as a program and that it's the right way.

Yeah, I don't think there's much more to it than Harbor was back and forth in his mind until Wednesday morning.

Beamer said he got a call about 3 am on Wednesday that was not good. Then about 8 am the tide seemed to turn back in our favor.
