Elijah Thomas adds to his list of finalists

I thought the idea was to narrow not expand. Now he brings A&M and LSU into this Ponzi scheme. His act is tiresome.

Elijah Thomas (@edotcash) tells Scout he's down to Texas A&M, LSU, Illinois, SMU, Oklahoma State and UNLV.

When was his list larger?

Chill out B1G. That's all I am going to say

yeah, i think SMU is at the top of his list - but he has some other schools in the mix where he may be able to play with friends, etc.

I think Illinois is our biggest competition at the moment...

And I can't agree with the OP that this act is tiresome at all - he has continually narrowed down his list and actually moved UP his decisison date.

This is in no way a Myles Turner type situation.

When did he announce a list smaller than this and how is it a Ponzi scheme?

Just roll with it.

Just the price of dealing in "higher end" talent. Not sure we want recruits with one option. I think we get plenty of that elsewhere.

I think he's making schools buy Amway products in order to keep them on his list...

The good news is in a Ponzi scheme the people who invest early can get paid off, so these new schools he supposedly added are the ones who will get screwed when the supposed Ponzi scheme collapses.

Exactly the approach I see you feel the need to correct someone's dixtion or speling, gramr or whatever it is you do.

Last ones in, first ones out typically when it goes into receivership.

He clearly wants to play with Jawun somewhere so that puts us in a bad spot, and Illinois/OSU as the frontrunners.
