this is the system - and i do think it sucks for the players

but i don't blame stallings for not wanting it to play out that way - it's a complete knife twist.

Mac should simply say "sounds great! see you in January on the court"?

Predictions aren't fact. That is absolutely 100% correct.
But predictions are information.
(I seriously have to explain this stuff? Seriously???)

And I agree with JaysLifer.

BOSSI: It sure seems like Bowen is close to making a decision and the recruitment of the five-star from Michigan who played his last couple of years at La Porte (Ind.) La Lumiere has been a roller coaster ride. I think the return of Rawle Alkins and Emmanuel Akot enrolling early rules out Arizona and with Miles Bridges back at Michigan State, the Spartans look to be out as well. Texas and NC State have been listed by Bowen but they seem unrealistic and I'm not sure the hiring of Bowen's coach from La Lumiere – Shane Heirman – as an assistant at DePaul is enough to move it into the final mix. For most of the last two months I've thought that Bowen would end up at Creighton. The ability to play a Doug McDermott-type role in a high-speed offense seemed to fit and the Bluejays have worked him really hard. However, Oregon just really got into the mix and fresh off of a Final Four run with all of Dillon Brooks minutes opening up, I think the Ducks have emerged as the team to beat.
MCDONALD: Waiting it out until the end of May has certainly given Bowen an advantage. He's been able to see where all his peers in the 2017 class ended up and also monitor NBA decisions of players at the schools he's considering. Arizona looks to be out with Rawle Alkins returning and it would be hard to see Michigan State being the choice with Miles Bridges coming back. That leaves Creighton and Oregon as the two most likely choices. As this one has dragged out, momentum seems to be pointing toward the Ducks.
PEEK: It's been a whirlwind recruitment for Brian 'Tugs' Bowen and it appears he's finally nearing a decision. I like that he's taking his time and watching all the pieces fall into place before making his decision. With Rawle Alkins coming back to Arizona and Miles Bridges choosing to stay an extra year at Michigan State, that pretty much eliminates them from the game. Five-star Oregon commit Troy Brown has been making a push for Tugs to join him up in Eugene dating all the way back to the McDonald's All-American game before the Ducks were even in the mix. After an unofficial visit, Oregon started making a push for the five-star wing. Creighton seems to be the team to beat right now but at the end of the day, I think he ends up an Oregon duck.
