Any new interview?
What exactly does "Austin Rivers, you're on the clock" mean...via TDD forums
We should be careful with this thread, or this could happen.

I want to read new information on Austin Rivers. Someone please post something. Rumors, speculation, anything to stop the tremors. I'm withdrawing people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Since you (along with myself as well) have asked for this, I'll take a stab at it in an effort to get this thread going again.
How this for speculation: Maybe the reason that there is not much out there about Austin Rivers is because all the rumors and innuedos about Austin giving a silent verbal to Duke is true; that way you wouldn't hear much because the team and everyone associated with the program is waiting for Austin to make it "public" when he is ready to.
I know this is a pretty bad attempt....But hey, I tried. Does anyone know what the IC board is currently saying about AR? I've made it a policy not to personally go to that site out of fear of losing my grip on reality.

Maybe there's nothing to say because it's May 3

Doesn't appear to be hot topic on IC...perhaps they're realizing Austin may be headed to Duke?
Still some posts about who placed a phone call to whom---did Camp Rivers call UNC and establish contact, or did Ole Roy go fishing and call Camp Rivers first? And a few posts about ah, we're pretty well set at that position anyway, blah, blah, blah.
To the original title of this thread...there's not even much smoke over there about AR.
I drift in and out of this thread from time to time..
So forgive me if I am being as thick as a brick...
I think the rodents bearing arms are cute and funny and all that. Very lovable militia rodents..
But really, what good is a silent verbal?
"I'll go with you to the prom, but don't tell anyone.."
That would sound like someone still looking at options...
Now I *guess* of course, it could have some strategic implications in a larger chess game of where the recruits ultimately land. To bluff another program and leave some Coach out in the cold when the music stops...
It seems to me a bird in the hand, applies... Take the best option on the table.
If I was going to the prom with one of the candidates for prom queen, I'd want everyone to know... I'd expect her to do like wise for the captain for the football team...
Seems the "bluff" is a very very difficult game to manage.
Guys, it seems as if there just is no news about Rivers... I have a friend who belongs to one of the premium sites who constantly assures me that it isn't a matter of if, but when, with Austin. Now you can take that as you will, since I haven't seen the info myself since i'm not a member of any premium sites, but I think that with the position we're in no news is good news.

I heard some guy's sister's boyfriend's cousin on Rivals.com was at the Baskin Robbins and they said that Austin Rivers was soing to be a Blue Devil. They also said that Ferris Bueller was dying.
Touche, airowe. That post wasn't meant to imply anything about any sort of knowledge I have (I have zero, just to be clear), just show that we shouldn't be panicking because there is no news. For example, remember the couple weeks between Kyrie's visit and his eventual commitment? Many of us were freaking out then, yet it all worked out in the end... despite the very little news coming out of his camp.
