You need to chill out.
Thanks for the advice. He was sure we were in the driver’s seat for Strickland, so I wanted to hear what happened.
I didn't press Tai for any deep details. I congratulated him & told him that I was surprised by the timing of his decision. His reply was:
"Thanks. I felt like it was best for me."
My comment to him about the 'timing' was based on him not taking his visit to Minnesota even though I had a sense that the visit may not happen.
Like I said somewhere else in this forum, I expected him to pick Rutgers, largely due to Hobbs' relationship with Rod, but I thought that Wisconsin had done the best job recruiting him.
Russ,
Seems like a good kid. I hope he does well at Wisconsin. Just not on the nights RU plays them. This one could burn if he turns out doing really well, and we have to watch it in front of our eyes. Hahaha. Oh well.
By "did the best job recruiting him" ... does it come down to anything more than "they were on to him longer"?
He's not with us, he's against us. I hope he fails, bigly.
I never feel any recruit is a dead certain commit until he does.
But tend to think ,like I believe Russ did, some recruits are leaning heavily Rutgers way and feel they will commit only to see them decide to go somewhere else.
Remember these are teenagers prone to look one way, but change directions at a moments notice.

He was confident. He never said he was sure we were in the driver's seat Stop twisting the truth and making shit up just cause you're butthurt that we didn't get strickland. Shit happens.
Wisconsin is a beautiful place with a incredible campus and reputation for academics and basketball.
Hard to beat that.
Hard to beat that.
Hardly think that's the case dude dad played a number of years in the league. Lol
So.... when Russ says they did the best job recruiting him.... it irks me. What does that mean? Im really happy overall with what i see here. However, that “suggests “ we were outworked. I don’t know how to define outworked.. but clearly it means we didn’t connect as well as the other school. That’s difficult to hear. It’s a lot easier if he’s enamored with the success, campus , etc
