Given that, then here's hoping he delays beyond 8.27. But then if he did that, the pressure on him from OSU would build due to unending contacts which I doubt he wants. Net, while the odds favor OSU & would make you correct, I don't see the 8.27 date as significant to whom he selects. I see it as him wanting to end it.Here is what the tea leaves are really saying. Smith is going to Ohio State. If he makes any other decision, it would be Kentucky, not UC. But it will be Ohio State. If Smith was going to snub Ohio State, he would wait and put off his announcement.
There's a post by josh hemholdt on the HOB - won't give it away other than to say you are not correct.Here is what the tea leaves are really saying. Smith is going to Ohio State. If he makes any other decision, it would be Kentucky, not UC. But it will be Ohio State. If Smith was going to snub Ohio State, he would wait and put off his announcement.
To clarify, I certainly won't be calling him anything like a "flake".Whatever he is or is called, I sure hope OSU has to write him off.
Recruitment of college athletes is among the most unpredictable of human activities. At the end of the day, none of us knows what high school players will decide. I was just commenting on what the "tea leaves" are telling us since someone else brought that up. An August announcement by a high profile kid who has been recruited hard by his ranked state school usually means he picks the ranked state school. I will be surprised if Smith announces for UK in August. But here's another thing that the tea leaves are telling us - UK will sign a strong class of receivers this year.Given that, then here's hoping he delays beyond 8.27. But then if he did that, the pressure on him from OSU would build due to unending contacts which I doubt he wants.

The chicken voices in my head have spoken. And here is what they said: I will die someday, I will pay my taxes on or before 4/15/18, and Blue Smith will be a Cat.
You're my boy, Blue!!!
Just a thought here, but when it comes to nationally televised announcements, the big names usually win out. And it's the same in basketball. Look how many recruits commit to UK on ESPN. Do you think ESPN would put them on TV if they committed on Penn State in basketball? Since this is nationally televised, look for OSU in my opinion.
Remember Matt Elam was supposed to commit at that all-american game and mysteriously it was pulled. Of course the announcement was he wasn't ready, but I think it's more likely they weren't going to let him pick UK on a national stage.
I know not every announcement is this black and white, just a hunch based on the norm.
Just curious, do the chicken voices in your head say "cock a doodle doo" or "cluck cluck"? Mine usually sa-------hold on, another message coming in, may take a year or two to interpret it, they are usually pretty profound.

All of the above. They are constantly arguing and bickering with one another. It's rather difficult for me to make definitive choices based on their ramblings because they seldom ever agree in solidarity. But on this topic they are 100% unanimous:
Blue will be a Cat!
If they're 5* - yes. Why not? Net, I think it's the players' quality WAY more so than to whom they are committing.Just a thought here, but when it comes to nationally televised announcements, the big names usually win out.
