More like why not? I too would love the attention and would hate for it to end. These kids are way too media-savvy and know how to play the game too well that it's very unlikely they'd actually put their real thoughts and feelings out there.
For example, in Austin Rivers' latest diary post, he hardly says anything of substance, just taking the fanbases of arguably the 3 strongest basketball programs along for the ride.
Recruiting is fun and fun to follow, but let's try to realize nothing is in the bag until our guy actually commits.
You know, I'm sure some of these guys do that, but can we please stop with the generalization here? The custom of in-home visits and then taking multiple official visits developed for a reason; guys are making a big decision and could very easily change their minds.
It's possible Austin has already completely made up his mind. It's also possible that he's got a strong lean somewhere, but could be persuaded otherwise. Lets not assume that this whole process however is simply Austin grabbing for attention.
<devildeac> anyone playing drinking games by now?
