Will we even know if he commits? Is it possible he already committed hence the changes in announcement dates from Snaer & Colvin?
"Even though Jamil Wilson appears to be leaning toward making a commitment and possibly even signing during the early period, do not expect the school that receives Wilson's signature to make that information public.
It is the wish of Jamil Wilson and his father to hold off on making a public announcement until March, 8. That date is significant to father and son as it is the birthday of Jamil Wilson's late mother Carolyn Wilson."

You'll know, leaks happen.
What would be the purpose of signing with a school (in this instance, MU), and then wait to announce until March?!? Just don't see the relevance.
So All Quiet on the Wilson Front? :-\

Why would you sign early? How about to lock in your scholarship offer from the school while still honoring your commitment to your mother.
If it's us, that will certainly be a pleasant surprise in the spring.

Indeed, also by signing in spring instead of now, it would eliminate potential rumors/distractions over what player would be leaving to make way for Wilson's scholarship.
I could see waiting a couple of days or even weeks to make an announcement on a special day, but 5 months??? Wow.

AHHH...So that's why buzz stopped recruiting him. Buzz called, Jamil said "I'm going to Marquette but I don't want you to tell anyone yet", and Buzz replied "OK, I'll stop recruiting you then, and tell the paper that we've stopped. But I'll see you on campus next year!".
I agree that 5 months without some sort of leak will never happen. If he puts his signature on paper, it leaks. If its a verbal directly to Buzz, does he take his word? Confusing to say the least. But, he probably saw Oregon as too far away and rural, Texas is loaded and just got a commitment from Tristan Thompson, the number 1 forward and player in 2010, so that leaves Michigan State who also is loaded. We'll see.
Let's see how often Jamil shows up at the Bradley Center this year for the MU games. If there are any sightings, please report them here. In fact, we could have a Jamil-O-Meter set up next to the Dunk-Meter.
Maymon walked by us on Friday night...I wanted to tell him to go home and study ;D
I'm friends with 1 of his volleyball teammates. If I brought my friend and had himbring Jamil to big games would that be illegal recruitment?
