friend says its gonna happen tomorrow, he says they painted the field.....whatever that means, and he thinks itll be bob or franklin.........thats just the word out of tallacrappy
Two main reasons I don't think anything is even remotely close. One, if they knew they had a splash hire to be announced any time now, I can't imagine they'd allow recruits to leave and or move on with their interest. Even Stricklin had UF people reaching out and insinuating something(someone) big soon to be announced. I remember Corral and others felt that there were hints of Kelly or Frost. It was very vocal. The noles, to my knowledge have not done that. I imagine someone like Knighton would've been asked to sit tight, even as a decommit, and that he'd have an answer to the uncertainty very soon.
Secondly, they've allowed player-favorite Haggins to interview and even feel as if he may have a real shot. If the AD was allowing this to happen, while knowing he was very far along in talks with a Stoops/Franklin type name, that would be a slap in his face and to the players.
Anything's possible, and I'm not saying it's over for them yet. I just don't think anything's even close yet, especially on a big hire.
