Gaines already added to the official roster (and apparently enrolled)

[FeliSilvestris]

FWIW, Anthony Gaines has been added to the official roster (and has apparently enrolled).
Not sure of the significance of this in the big scheme of things...if nothing else it removes any doubts (however tiny) that anyone may have had on his enrollment.

THERE WERE NO DOUBTS. NEVER, EVER ANY WHISPERS OF A THOUGHT OF A DOUBT.

This is seriously ridiculous.

The possibility that he's a North Korean spy remains until proven otherwise.

Or a Russian spy, which is much more likely.

More than a decade

Does that mean they enroll but are not necessarily taking any classes? Just officially a student?

No.

Gaines signed a LOI in October. He has expressed excitement on twitter about coming to NU since the day he signed. This is just you having no clue and no interest in actually following NU because if you followed the team and just did not post to get reactions, you would have seen this on twitter and facebook from June 20th . . . .

Feli posts here to get reactions. I am feeding the beast on this one and giving him what he wants but only because his statement (however benign) was intended to suggest that Gaines was not 100% on NU. That is just not supported by anything anywhere at anytime. When a poster with an agenda posts something demonstrably false, no matter how benign, it needs to be pointed out.

Feli could have posted "Gaines is one roster" but he did not. He tried to make a controversy where none exists.

Exactly. Same with the "that we're even discussing this is indicative of the situation we find ourselves in" crack on another thread, when he in his echo chamber is the only one discussing something that he then uses as a way to sow doubt into the program.

To borrow a term from debate, his shtick for years on this site is to gardenpath people into a fight over something that's not supported by fact or reasonable inference.

It's tired. It drives people away from participating on this board and having real discussion because it always devolves into the same infighting. And while I'm always up to discuss legitimate criticisms when they're merited, making statements suggesting there was ever a doubt that this player - who, as others have pointed out more eloquently than my original reply, has expressed nothing but sheer excitement to get started and was officially announced as joining the program weeks ago - would enroll is pure gaslighting. And since it's the 1000th example of the same thing, it's not benign. Rather, there's an aroma in the air, and some of us are commenting on what it is.

I was unaware that that was a general policy...obviously "normal" freshmen start in the Fall term in the general case...I see nothing wrong with Gaines or anyone else starting earlier...in fact I am glad...it can only help.

Some people are predisposed against certain posters...whenever one of those posters posts something those predisposed against him jump to conclude there must be something wrong with whatever he posted...that there must be some "ulterior" motive...That's all there is here....The exact same OP posted by someone they aren't predisposed against and they find nothing whatsoever wrong with the post (because there is nothing whatsoever wrong with it).

No Chores, love you, man. But the whole objection to the original poster was his line "if nothing else it removes any doubts (however tiny) that anyone may have had on his enrollment." He's injecting some bizarre retrospective controversy where there was none.

Because it's a dumb post.

Because some posters routinely make dumb posts.

GOUNUII, you're wasting your time with this guy, but thanks anyway for trying.
On a happier note, which home games are you and your much better half planning to attend this season. We need to make plans for tailgating, dinner etc.

No Chores. At Duke is currently our only commitment. Will nail down the home schedule and get back to you. The availability of the sizzling hot blonde in your life to join us will be very influential in when we get to Evanston.
