Word is that Michigan is lagging, Mizzou making a late push with Booker and it's supposedly working. Also saw on PowerMizzou today where a poster said it's "neck and neck" between MU, UK at this point. Fingers crossed.

Booker probably knows where he's going at this point, and it's probably Mizzou. This stuff is all for dramatic effect.
By the way, we have recruiting pages.

Considering you didn't really tell us anything new, it was a great help, indeed.

I hope they're right. I was really concerned about both Michigan and Michigan State and his mom's influence leaning towards one of those two. If, in fact, it's neck and neck between Mizzou and UK, I kind of like our chances given we're his last visit this weekend and then again next weekend, which I imagine will be something special.
There was a lot of buzz about that exhibition game when they first announced it. Any idea if the Hearnes has been sold out yet?

Oh I don't know sleeping, if Michigan is, in fact, lagging, that's news to me. Hope that's the case.

No ticketing for that game. You just line up; first in = first seated. Pretty awesome if you ask me--it's set up to be filled with rabid fans who waited outside to get in, not tired fifty-something boosters checking their cell phones and waiting to be seen next to Mike Alden.

Ahh, knew'd you say something along those lines. All the smoke has been coming from UK and MU with him lately, but okay.
ETA In your thread on UK on their board someone posted a story about him, it mentioned only UK and MU. I guess I took that and the stories like it literally.

I'll have to go back and read that article. I suppose the impression I always had was Melvin wasn't pushing him hard towards Mizzou but mom wasn't shy about wanting him in Michigan, close to home. I suppose that's why I was a bit surprised to hear Michigan may be lagging.

I see what you're saying if you're talking about the write up that I took over there from our board. I think I kind of took it with a grain of salt because 1. It was from Missouri's premium site and 2. While the twitter buzz might give some indications, I don't put a ton of stock in it.
Then again, it might be the pessimist in me that won't believe he's coming to Mizzou even if he commits until he signs on the dotted line.

C'mon Booker, make the right choice.

Was hesitant to post any of this because, well I'm superstitious that way. But figured it's all just rumors anyways. I was curious to see what some other boards were saying on the heels of his visit. From the MSU board.

Pretty strong report from SpartanMag that Booker will commit to Missouri.
He is going back there next week-legacy commit

Oh, that would be so awesome!!

Please please please please.

yes he is coming back to como next weekend but that was pretty much expected for a while now... i think the msu guy was misinformed thinking because he was going back to visit mizzou that he'd commit. It's not over yet.

Trevo, is that your opinion, or do you know something you'd like to share with the class?

Didn't everyone know Booker was visiting Mizzou 2 weeks in a row? First for the Florida football game and then for the Hearnes exhibition game? I thought this information was common knowledge.
As soon as Mizzou beat Florida, I knew we had Booker.
First he comes to the Florida game where 68k chant "We want Devin!" Then he goes to the exhibition game and gets the same treatment 2 weeks in a row.

No, they were definitely talking about committing. Not his second visit. There was a bit more conversation but it went on to who they want then if not Booker. Now, they may be wrong, it may be rumors, but they were talking about him committing to Mizzou, not just visiting again.

Devin was quoted as saying his visit was a 10 out of 10. Come on Devin be a true son!
