Favorite is obviously Iowa so he can join Anthony (and probably A.J.)

Wait a minute ... I've been on vacation.  So Anthony already signed and AJ struck a plea deal?

The rest of ncaa if Angelo chooses Iowa:

sic - Used in brackets after a copied or quoted word that appears odd or erroneous to show that the word is quoted exactly as it stands in the original.

The question I would have to ask would be, "What are the odds that none of the Ferrari Clan are back in the news in a bad way in the next year?"

Their history is already terrible.
If/when the next terrible thing happens, the questions will be along the lines of, "You knew they were terrible people, why did you bring them here?"

I just don't see the risk v reward calculation outcome being on the positive side of the ledger.

For both older boys, I agree.  I would give the younger son a chance but I have a big heart

I have 40 years into coaching.

With the father and two older boys and their track records in the mix, I'd pass.

I know what sic means. I was asking what was odd or erroneous.

When Anthony F. put an Iowa commitment graphic on social media, it contained a misspelling of "committed" as "commited."  Although this post relates to Angelo and commitment is spelled correctly, I believe the poster was making a reference to Anthony's graphic.

As you note, part of the confusion is that the "sic" doesn't make grammatic sense as "commitment" is spelled correctly, so there's no misspelling to be noted.
