Guys there are rules to this game-

1) Dan's post doesn't count
2) Posts of people whining about the counting game do count
3) Try not to use the same GIF over and over
4) At least a dozen people need to comment in some way about how it's dumb or non-recruiting related, inevitably outnumbering the counting.

1) Dan's post does count the count is about the number of the response
2) Posts of whining only count if it also includes a number
3) Number GIFs are proprietary if you aren't the first to use it use another unless you are the second to use a two etc
4) All bets are off if Dan has actual basketball news if that happens numbers must include something about cottage cheese

Indy is well respected in here and I’m not questioning that. But not sure where he heard the Small thing from. Staff hasn’t been in contact with Small since he committed I’ve been told. The ink is certainly dry now.

Not saying I know anything specific but if a player wants out I think it’s a given at this point that they’ll get it.

Honestly think that's one of the main benefits of Fears enrolling in January and redshirting.

Yes, he gets to spend 5-6 extra months practicing with college players, learn the system, and work with Fletch but he also would be subject to the transfer portal deadlines.

Nobody would be able to come in late and get him to change his mind. If he's not enrolled then he could decommit after the transfer portal deadline has ended and I think up until the fall semester.

Man we're a paranoid bunch.

That can be true. But in this situation in regards to Illinois small isn’t on the radar and hasn’t been since he committed.

No offense...

But I don't think Indy says things for no reason. It's pretty concludable he doesn't put out info on here that's completely baseless and pointless.

It may not always happen, and the most likely scenario surely is that he'll stay at WVU...but I don't think Indy's saying it just for the sake of just "saying it."

Kylan wouldn’t be happy about Small. No way both would be happy. I’d rather have Nico back or Lathon

Recruiting is fluid? Just b/c he signed today doesn't mean there was no smoke (link is from 2p). Could've been a play to max his bag with WVU.

If you don't want to read well sourced rumors on a free recruiting message board, maybe come back in 4 months.

Rumors regarding Javon Small's uncertain future with West Virginia basketball likely to prove false

Within the past 24 hours, rumors have begun to circulate that a piece of West Virginia’s incoming transfer portal class may still have his recruitment open...

No offense. It was never a thing.

How does one find out who a recruits "people" are? Are these things discussed somewhere? Curious.

If you want actual facts. Staff isn’t and hasn’t been talking to anyone already committed somewhere. Brad wants nothing to do with that.

Davis adjusting? 100%, yes. But Booth? he played in the ACC. that's pretty much on par with what he'll see for us. now, will he take a step or three up? much better question, IMO

According to LaTulip he was mid 30s from three when on catch and shoot. So often its about good shot selection and playing to your strengths. I do think Davis is a much better shooter on the move that Goode or Booth
