Per Bartow it's a top 5

So Hopkins is just a fucking failure, round 2.

A top 5 makes WAY more sense considering he has basically made no visits anywhere. He's just getting started with his recruiting in earnest.

That's a bingo. He will start setting up visits on Tuesday.

Shocker that Hopkins of all guys is the one who reports that Waller is committing tonight. Just another black eye on his journalistic resume if this "announcement" ends up being a top 5 list or something.

Can u link me his report?

Hopkins said Waller is announcing his college choice tonight?

So much for our boycott.

Click away boys.

I bet Hopkins stops by to laugh at our dumbasses.

I'm looking but I can't find it. It may have been taken down since it's it flat out wrong. It was a Bolt around 11-12 last night.

Edit: I found it. He has done a clean up job on it and it now is entirely different. It just says that he is making an announcement, ND is the team to beat according to CBs, and it shows the tweet. Last night it said that he was announcing his college decision and referenced that he had tweeted something.

Yeah, I never looked at the report but his tweet flat out said that Waller was making his commitment today. Clearly, that was inaccurate.

If he's visiting Bama for two days midweek that really does not bode well for us at all. At T Town said, they had another guy on campus so if he left without an offer/commit then they might be pushing on straight to Waller.

Fucking Hopkins. At least he isn't making a commitment before a decision I like that move, figure it out first young man.

OK so yeah now the plan is "finalists" tonight who will get visits. He'll then visit all these schools in June and July. And then make a July decision.

So there is a lonnnnng way to go here and this almost isn't even worth paying attention to until he actually steps foot on campus.

I didn't actually read the report - just went off of Hopkins tweet where he clearly stated a commitment was coming today. I knew something was up when Wiltfong created his own report this morning stating that Waller's tweet didn't necessarily mean a commitment was forth coming.

The 247 guys have to be so fucking pissed at Hopkins for douching it up again and needing to clean up his mess.

Welp. I thought he might be jumping the gun on the ND offer simply to make sure he had his spot.

I guess it will be better to see it play out with Bama now and when Urban inevitably comes calling down the road, rather than him committing without visiting and weathering another decommitment possibility.

I would tweet at him but he blocked me. So can Someone do it for me? Just give me a shoutout in the tweet and call him a dumb ass

Had no idea if it was a page or 4 back, and I have about 10 seconds at work to look.

Sorry for asking!

Please.............If we were to go back and look at all your posts, your working day consists of 6 hours posting on IE, 1 hour for lunch and 1 hour for actual work.

My thoughts exactly. I have seen Hopkins' name and the numerals 247 more in the last two days than I did before the "boycott".

There was never supposed to be a "boycott." Boycotts are dumb. Unless massive, they have a really imperceptible impact and also don't send a clear message. Even if every single ND fan completely boycotted 247, it would only marginally affect their bottom line.

It was supposed to be a mass cancellation movement of paid subscriptions to send a message. It was even said in the original thread that it didn't matter if you planned on staying cancelled or reupping again next week... you needed to cancel to send a message. And that happened.

Exactly. The movement got a response from 247 and I was able to secure two free months :)

Glad you feel like you got your message across. That is what matters.

I simply find it amusing how quickly people moved on from their anger(putting it mildly) at 247 and JH.

QB Travis Waller of California expected to commit Tuesday to Alabama over UT and Notre Dame. UT still high on QB Quinten Dormady of Texas

And worst fears that we were all spitballing about just realized. ND gets in too late, Alabama turns up the heat, and we don't even get a shot. QB is the one position you just absolutely cannot be late like this in recruiting. But that tweet doesn't really make sense with him announcing "finalists" just to commit the next day soooooo........ maybe he commits tonight? Maybe that guy is wrong?

Just awful news. Hope this is not over yet. Barnett really put us in a bad place, but we will get the right guy, I have faith in the coaches.
