Well, you shouldn't get a "kick" out of that comment. You know good and well that it was just more than passing on information. Some questioned his commitment when he didn't sign earlier and others called them crazy and assured everyone that he is 100% with a very" i know more than you" tone. If he flips, they will DEFINITELY have egg on their face and they will deserve it. Nothing is 100% until the ink hits paper, especially when it comes to recruiting.
I think there is a better chance that he comes than not, but I'm certainly not going to act like someone is stupid for feeling the opposite at this point.
