I thought he was announcing on Friday? Today's Wednesday right? Isn't that 2 days or am I having an acid flash back. Sh*t I shouldn't have gone to so many Allman Brothers concerts when I was younger.
Mathis Update...
- Thread starter ouchmyknee
- Start date
looks like we just got a crystal ball prediction. there is hope!
Looking at the Boneyard, the U Conn forum it seems as if a lot of their fans are really down on Ollie. They seem to think he is not the recruiter he was 4 years ago. Some have mentioned that they have been losing recruits to schools that never came close to them in the past. A few posters seem to be quite concerned if they should lose Mathis to RU. Mathis did post something just after 9 PM about doubling down or such. This had some worried as well. I really hope we can pull this out. It would be like a miracle and shocking the basketball world. It probably won't happen but a guy can dream, can't they?
I think this Tweet is from his AAU Team and it was retweeted by Mathis.
UPDATE: It's just a Poll where anyone can vote.....But, he did retweet it with Rutgers as the top vote getter.

signed up for the RoundTable..... insight in there right now for this is great. For those worried about cash flow just cancel prior to Sept 1. Realy has some good stuff even outside of this one case.
@RussWood How would you compare his game to Myles Powell? They seem similarly ranked in HS (both prepped?), with Powell more the shooter and Mathis the slasher. Would expect them to have similar impacts first year and be solid 4 year players no?
In fact UConn was the team SHU beat out for Cheese. Hope Rutgers can land Mathis
I signed up for it but won't let me into the round table? Just allows me to read articles. Any help @Richard Schnyderite @bobby deren
Different players. Powell was more of a point guard who liked to jack up shots in HS (more than a few were questionable shot selections) and he probably led SHU in three-point attempts last year -- that's just a guess btw. Mathis should spend more time at the FT line than Powell did last season. Also Mathis has the potential to be a really good defender.
By the way, be sure you put a space between Russ and Wood when you tag me or I won't get a notification.
huge movement on 247 in our favor
9 straight ru picks in the last few hours

at the same time the crystal ball swings our way, he follows a whole bunch of uconn people on twitter.
sounds like it will be georgia tech just like last time!

Can't seem him following all those people only to pick a different school a day later, what would be the point. Seems like we may have lost this one, but we'll see,
Guess the "what is" won out over the "what if". Pretty spot on to what I was told if this is the end. It's imperative that we show progress in the B1G conference schedule if we are to get over the hump. Valient effort on our staff's part. Onto the next one.
Dagger but what can you do. Coach Pike gave it his best. Apparently about to lose Anderson the WR recruit that Ash has invested heavily in to BC per latest info. Can't stand Campanile.
There are many guys more plugged in than me but, 1 of the guys I know that's still in the AAU world told me last week that uconn & particularly Chillious was pushing Mathis hard for a commitment. They believe it would help tilt Carey to them.
IF, that's true, the fact that he's slow playing this MAY be good news for us

It would not be at all surprising if uconn had a high degree of 'urgency' to get a verbal commitment for the 2018 class - they currently have none - they had 5 in 2017 but there was a decommitt, 3 transfers and some late scrambling - and now with the attention toward 2018 and days rapidly going by as September comes into view - and students return for the start of the 2017-2018 school year - it is possible that the 'urgency' leads to really heightened efforts at persuasion - which is seen and felt as 'pushing' and 'pressure' ... which ultimately begins to telegraph to the recruit & his family the existence in the program of substantial "anxiety" - especially with a staff that is feverishly working on rectifying what went wrong last year & seeking to fill the gaps that were left by graduation of key contributors & unanticipated transfers.

I'm sorry but when I see crystal ball I have to

Sometimes. So few of their contributors know anything and just follow what one or two crystal ballers predict.
Does Mathis commitment tilt Carey to RU? I know McClung is expected to be a PG but damn Carey, Mathis, Baker and McClung would make one heckuva monster backcourt.
They have the same information everyone else has 70 % of the time- a social media account.
I would say no. Sure, you can run three guards, but we have our guards set now. I firmly think carry goes elsewhere. And that is fine.
