It's not even over then. People decommit all the time, and transferring is easy. If we don't see Silas next year we might catch him on the flip side.

It would be peak DL is he commits to VCU after he closed the thread days before the announcement.
SC is a football first school. Basketball has always been an after thought. And as big as LA is, there is a lot of entertainment competition. If SC were to win a nc in bb, that might change. Otherwise, the Lakers, the clippers, the Rams, the Chargers, the Angels, the Dodgers, don't even know the Hockey and Soccer teams' names... are way ahead of SC bb. Not to mention UCLA still is the biggest draw for college bb in LA. and that's just sports.

They still have that Florida Gulf coach right? They had Mobley and he gets recruits. They are going to the Big Ten soon too. Their attendance is a disappointment though.
SC is also a FOOTBALL SCHOOL, never has really prioritized basketball. They have money, but it's not limitless, they are going to prioritize bringing in guys for Riley. They think they can win a NC in football, soon. They don't think they can win a NC in bb ever maybe.
One thing no one has caught here, maybe meaningless, 3:30 Eastern Time is not a very good time to announce for a West Coast team. LA people be like, "darn, I'm eatin' lunch, don't bother me with an SC basketball commitment, who cares." To get LA attention it should be at least 8 or 9 PM Eastern time.

Their football attendance is also terrible lol. USC sports in general has terrible attendance unless they're national contenders. Their stadium holds 77,000 fans and I don't think they've filled it in years.

Here is my thing on the money/NIL issue. It cannot become an excuse. If VCU wants a player they need to get them because excuses don't fill the roster. I know P5s have an advantage but last time I checked VCU is a great place to play. It is a good program with two players drafted in the last two years. Gotta figure this thing out.

We've been doing pretty well recruiting the last few years though. It's usually us or Dayton on top of the A10 in recruiting year after year. We just signed two top-100 4*'s last year lol. We're going to miss on most recruits, every school does.

Commitment day 11:35 am: Mik Rhoades and Silas Demary Jr. are still following each other on twitter.
The fact that the status of this dynamic has not changed still provides me a small amount of hope. It stayed the same for 6 months in Christian Fermins case up to the decision date...let's see if history repeats itself.
