Oh snap. Does "do not contact" always mean the player knows where he's going/has already committed?

A lot of you graciously educated me on the North Carolina hate for Rick Barnes earlier in the thread, and I saw more of that commentary on their forum this morning as I scanned their discussion about Tyson. I genuinely have no idea if we should feel optimistic, but it would be amazing to give...

I don't have an ego at all—I just know somebody who's using flawed logic to make a bad argument. It absolutely baffles me that someone who purports to be a Tennessee fan is trying to downplay a road series win against a top five opponent. I'll let you give Tony Vitello a call to tell him you're...

Alright, just to be clear ... While everybody who closely covers the sport has lavished praise on our team after the series and called it one of the most impressive performances of the season because Kentucky is such a formidable opponent, your position is that it was nothing to write home...

Here's what McKee said:

I get that we're all in the "it's only a glimmer of hope" stage with Tyson, but I wonder why he didn't just commit this weekend if the scales are still tilted so heavily in their favor.

Nothing would give me greater pleasure than winning a recruit against UNC after he breathes the rarified air in Chapel Hill.

Please sir, can you give us a hint?

I wish I could rearrange this quote to "has informed UNC he is not coming," but this is good enough news for now. :p

Uh ... no. Not at all. It's okay to acknowledge the strength of an opponent, especially when their RPI and strength of schedule have outstripped ours so far. Kentucky is an excellent baseball team, is 100% an Omaha contender, and still looks like they're in the driver's seat for the SEC regular...

I'm trying to decide why an in-person meeting would be necessary even if he was trying to do the right thing. Feels like a phone call would suffice. I'm holding out hope!

Yeah, this always makes me laugh. Do they realize the visiting team gets to hit at Lindsey Nelson as well?

If you're only looking at the rankings, then yes, this outcome was always plausible. But Kentucky is atop the SEC standings, and coming into this series, they were probably the hottest team in the country. This is the only program in the conference that's never been to Omaha, they're having a...

I guess Rick needs to fly out there to have dinner with him.

In these situations, do we ever tell kids, "Give us one last call before you commit"? Or is that just now how it works if he's gonna commit to UNC?
