The Darkansas era is in full swing and I'm so here for it.

It's just an unverified rumor that is probably untrue or totally misrepresented.

Anytime you start hearing "X school is willing to pay $X" or "X player wants $X to visit", take that with a grain of salt. Not exactly breaking news, but anyone can make up anything they want on the internet and people will run with it as gospel.
