positive insider info set to be released on WCCP per Don Munson bball easter egg

Jan 10, 2024, 10:35 PM

I don't know if anyone posted about this yet, but I wanted to put this out there before I forget. During the basketball game, Don mentioned that there was some insider info that would be coming out soon on 105.5 the Roar. The date given was very vague, he basically just said it would be at some point over the next few weeks or so. But he clearly knew what it was already and sounded very happy about it, and he said that he expected Clemson folks would really like it whenever it does get officially announced.

Does anyone have any idea what this could be? Or is this just old news at this point that I've missed and our insiders on TNET already know exactly what it is?

Something I had meant to post about a while back was that I had heard Don say on his weekly interview with Marc Ryan that there was still a possibility that Will Shipley could come back. He said that just because he had declared for the draft didn't mean he that he was disallowed from returning to Clemson. I don't remember exactly what the rules are, but it was something to the effect of that as long as Will doesn't hire an agent, he will still be allowed to return to Clemson if he so chooses. The idea of this would be that Will could feel out the draft process and get an idea of where he might go or what type of interest teams would have in him, and then based on this information, he would be free to make the decision of whether it would be better for him to commit to the draft or return to Clemson. PJ Hall did something similar with the NBA draft this past offseason if I'm not mistaken.

Now, Don said at the time that he felt it wasn't necessarily likely that this would happen, but he did seem to think that it was a very legitimate possibility. And just the fact that he would mention that at all makes me think that he probably has some reason to believe that option would be in play. I don't think he would've said that if he knew or even suspected that Will was gonna be gone for sure. But this very much surprised me at the time, because I hadn't heard any mention of that possibility at all until that interview, and it seemed as though everyone on TNET as well as everywhere else in the media was acting like he was gone for certain.

Now, keep in mind, it's been about 2 weeks or so since that interview, and everyone knows how Ship was expected to be a fringe draft prospect at best. Do y'all think that the insider info could be that Shipley has already decided to come back? Or could it be a significant surprise transfer portal addition? Maybe conference realignment? Who knows, but whatever it was, it's something, and Don sounded very excited about it. Of course, it could turn about to something much less important, like a new podcast or something, and I hope I'm not gonna end up getting everybody's hopes up for nothing. It's just difficult to say because we were given so little information. But again, the way Don said it made me strongly suspect that whatever it was, it was something important. What do y'all think? Let me know in the comments. Did anyone else catch that in the broadcast? I might try to link the Marc Ryan interview in the comments later in case anyone wants to hear it.
