What do you consider fairly recently? We offered him 15+ months ago while he was still a sophomore and he's made numerous trips to campus since the offer the staff has consistently told him they value/prioritize him.
This notion that we just recently offered him (likely after whiffing on Wise) really is morphing from an Urban Legend to an incontrovertible CIS fact.
Yet, the JJ Bolles pre-commit thread is well over a year old filled with folks saying we never get Bolles kids to commit so why are we bothering? The majority of people saw Bolles in the title and immediately surfed away
And because they surfed away and ignored the thread, the offer never happened until recently as we pivoted due to missing our primary C target.
BTW, I'm not disputing that Wise likely was option A at Center but this isn't an emergency plan B pivot by any means because Wise was leaning $EC for a minute.
