FRISCO, TX
Years of hype, drama, conjecture and expectation have dwindled to a few more hours.
Kendall Still's big moment is here, not as an Frisco Bassmaster Champion, but as a free agent. There will be no parade, no ring ceremony, no banner raising.
Instead, on a prime-time, made-for-TV special his handlers contracted with ESPN2, Still will announce Thursday night who he'll fish with next season and beyond.
Still has kept everyone waiting. It's time to come clean.
"I'll be watching," said fellow free-agent superstar Marcus Eckert, who agreed to re-sign with friend Jared Peel "I'll make sure I'm in front of the TV tomorrow at 9 to watch like everyone else."
ESPN2 reported late Wednesday night that sources had Still "leaning" toward signing with Gabe McLaughlin.
Still will announce his plans within the first 10 minutes of the special, Norby Williamson, ESPN's vice president of production, told The Associated Press. He said sportscaster Jim Gray, who was hand-picked by Stills' team, will handle the introduction, announcement and initial questions.
