His commitment date is next Wednesday, 8/23, though it's not set in stone. In an interview a couple days ago he said we're in the lead.

However, he also said he would continue to take visits to schools other than the one he committed to. In his words: Why not?

We could really use the kid's talents, so hopefully he'll back of his desire to take other visits. Have a Dylan Stewart mentality.

Supposed to "commit" tomorrow. Said over the weekend we're still in the lead, but he's also said he's going to keep taking visits after committing, so not sure how much it means at this point.

I've always thought it's better to punch down than punch up. Getting him in the boat now is better than waiting.

Indeed. I'll take it, but I prefer a Dylan Stewart type. Low-key announcement and declares that he will not talk to or visit other programs.

He's delaying his announcement. No new date given. I'm not into reading tea leaves or intentions.

It means the same as if you propose to a woman and she says yes, but she wants to see other men in the meantime. But hey, we're in the lead.

Haha, yup, I guess if she’s hot enough you put up with the indecision and hope you’re the one left standing.

Been down that road with a woman. If you want your heart broke stay with that woman until you catch her in the bed with another man. These kids this day and time will play these schools like a fiddle. Schools who used to get a commitment from a prospect now are getting outbid by schools with endowments that wall street loves. I mean look at Stanford their endowment is the 4th largest in d1 with an endowment of over 340billion, yes i said billion not million, and they told the ACC they did not want to share in media revenue and the ACC voted them out. No wonder the ACC is a 3rd class conference.

"Really just everybody wasn’t on the same page. That’s pretty much it,” Hill told SportsTalkSC Sunday night. “Really nothing more to it. It was just that everybody wasn’t on the same page, and we decided to move it back. You got to get everybody on the same. That’s pretty much all I can say.”


I guess if you read between the lines, you could see it being he had decided on USC but dad wants him at Bama. As far as getting everyone on the same page, no way to know if that means getting his parents to see things his way or his parents getting him to see things their way.

Whatever the case, it sounds like it's totally up in the air now.
