So on 247 he is listed as having an offer from us. On3 shows he does not.
On 247 his interest in all the offers is shown as 'cool'. None higher than that. So either he doesn't plan to go to college, or he intends to pay his own way... Or, maybe he read the instructions to list interest as 'An offer? Yeah, that's cool...' Or, they are all cool, because he picked Indiana!
He does have a nice offer list.

Maybe he was Mantai Te'o'd by someone pretending to be Cig?

So 2027? If all true, hope we keep him. Seems like a very good offer list. He says all the right things about why he wants Indiana. That article says breakout junior year so shot up the boards. And also makes sense why if we did offer it was recently.
What a weird story.
His junior stats
19 catches
638 yards
33.6 ypc
4 TD

If he is faking an offer from Indiana, then it might be possible those other offers are also fake. He could be telling tall tales to recruiting services in order to drive up interest.
Yeah, I had fake listed as a possibility a couple times in my post, but edited it out. Didn't seem fair of me to say that about someone I don't know.So on 247 he is listed as having an offer from us. On3 shows he does not.

Olympian97's article seemed legit. And so honestly, if a con goes that far, that successfully, it's going to be awesome.
Damn…IU getting cat phished.
I get the feeling the kid is getting jerked around by someone in his camp.

Some kid pulled this off with Cal 10-20 years ago. I can't remember if he made it to campus, but someone eventually pointed it out. I think the kid ended up at a juco.
Was there any resolution on this? 247 shows him as a commitment to Indiana, but On3 does not. He also still shows he is committed to IU on his X account. You’d think by now that this would be cleared up if IU didn’t consider him a true pledge. Is it lingering because of the dead period?

I'm going with the kid or his agent are lying about an offer from Indiana in a dumb attempt to drum up interest. Recruiting sites sometimes jump the gun when they see a player commit and don't bother checking with the school side of things to see if they actually had an offer in the first place.
I'm seeking NIL money based on my commitment to Indiana.
(If Cig doesn't end up using me I keep it, because it is a separate thing. You buy my terrific image.)
I might commit to Notre Dame too, I hear they have a war chest. Don't want to commit to a competing big ten school.

He isn't committed.
