Serious question since you have all the scoops already. Why would Ayo wait so long to announce if it's been a done deal for so long? Not saying that the timing means anything good for Wake, just that it doesn't make sense when y'all have been whiffing on recruits left and right.
You're absolutely right. Apparently he didn't want to do it early. Wanted to drag it out and get a lot of attention. Can't blame him, but he torpedoed his own class in the process. Underwood did a nice job in 2017 after his spring hire. But his 2018 class was a nightmare. Ayo would've helped a lot.
