RECRUITING: New Isaiah Stokes information

[srjclone]

Too bad. If it wasn't a NLI, then it isn't over. It's too bad, though, really thought we had a good shot with him. Him being at IMG in Florida probably doesn't help much.

Only in college athletics can "sources" confirm something while the only actual source denies it.

 

[rholtgraves]

Very strange indeed. Why wouldn't Florida or Stokes announce and why would Stokes say it isn't true?

 

[CyTwins]

Guess we'll find out sooner than later what's going on.

At least per their official website, Florida never announce any of their November signings. (There were two others.)

EDIT:Nevermind. They did issue a release on 11/9.

Have fun with that. That program has not been relevant since Billy Donovan left. Enjoy playing in the SEC and not making the tournament!

The problem is, both people are saying that he signed with Florida, not just committed.

When's the signing period for football? Maybe he decided to play football after all.

 

[EnhancedFujita]

So Zagoria's post specifically says Stokes signed with Florida during the early signing period which ended 14 days ago. How did that information not get out during the early signing period and why would Stokes have ISU in to watch him after the early signing period ended if he'd already signed. Very strange set of circumstances going on here.

Of course he took down the denial.Which makes things even stranger. How could he not know whether he signed?

Hope Florida is flagged for illegal touching.

You mean they haven't been relevant all of last year?

 

[Cyclonepride]

Well... this is shaping up to be incredibly disappointing

Isn't that just basically just a journalistic repost of what was posted before? The listed source for this one is Scout (the one that Stokes denied earlier). This is odd.

I'm going to assume that Isaiah isn't the brightest lightbulb or was led by people who are not the brightest lightbulbs. Probably the latter. And probably a handler.

 

[Knownothing]

We can't get in trouble if Florida and he kid did not tell anyone he signed

 

[Clonefan32]

Wait so he signed with Florida 2 weeks ago? I'm lost.

 

[Clonefan32]

And you base this assertion on...?

 

[rholtgraves]

And you base this assertion on...?

Because he told the guy that reported he signed that he didn't sign but either someone told him he did or realized he was wrong and that he did sign.

 

[GTO]

You mean they haven't been relevant all of last year?

Exactly. I'm lashing out here! Let me cope in my own way.

 

[megamanxzero35]

If he did sign with Florida on the last day of the signing period, it would make sense it came out today since this is 14 days after the last Signing Day(November 16) and today is the last day to submit to the conference.

But the fact Florida never announced and that Stokes never announced are quite odd. Then compounded with Stokes denying it on Twitter.

Working some angles to see if we can learn anything new. I'll pass along anything I hear.
