OK, so it wasn't a guess.  If we lose out on Tillman, and manage to land French, I'm good.

That's not good news.

That's also the internet, there is also a banner next to it that also has a broken link with a title that reads "Tillman picks" with nothing but the link after.

I doubt that 247 has the scoop already.

And like I said, if 247 DID have the scoop, and it was MSU....then Jerry Meyer definitely wouldn't have his CB pick as Marquette right now.

Like I said he's MSU bound.

One of the rare times I actually know something recruiting

I like how you are trying to leak this MSU info to try to break X's trust in Izzo.  Stick it to him

What a joke.  Guy says likely, way to go out on a limb there or do some actual fact checking.

Hey, do you guys think Goodman is using reverse psychology to make X think MSU is leaking, so he chooses MU at the last second?

Well Buzz and Matta did form that alliance while swabbing the deck a few years back.  So maybe this is more anti-Izzo than Buzz helping us with Operation Leak.

Wow you're right.  And MU just went from "Warm" (along with MSU and Purdue) to "Warmer."  Is that something that they changed based on the way Crystal Ball is trending?

PFsHeroes32 would also have to be dead wrong and then banned from Scoop.

Latest Crystal Ball prediction for MU is an MSU "Insider."  I have no knowledge on how truly "inside" he is.

Looking at that fella's picks he almost always picks MSU when it comes to recruits so him picking MU to me is a good sign.

I believe Bob Knight had agreed to be the Wisconsin coach, but they leaked it and he changed his mind.

Assuming Tillman told all the coaches, if a leak happens, it doesn't mean it's the school he chose leaking it.

I'm guessing Xavier Tillman is 50x more mature than Bobby Knight ever was.

What I'm hearing is that if Tillman chooses anywhere but Marquette, Trump will say it was rigged.

This whole thing is too much fun.

On Tillman's 24/7Sports page, under Timeline for September 30, there's the headline: "Xavier Tillman picks MSU over Purdue, Marquette."

Check it out: http://247sports.com/Player/Xavier-Tillman-45491

It's gone now. Internet hiccup.

Anyone know if there's a press conference?

And, not to give JayBee's beloved crystal bowel any more attention, he has the highest accuracy (80%) of anyone making picks for X.  We'll see.

Clever how Izzo just parried Goodman's attempt to turn the leak tide in MU's favor.
