Lot of smoke that Dotson commits to KU soon. Obviously agree that that your AZ news only helps us. And Dotson to KU would really help us with Zion as he plays on the same AAU team as Dotson and are discussing the package deal option (which always gets talked about in the summer but rarely happens). They are also both adidas kids and we are the only adidas school on their list.
Zion and Immanuel Quickley also talking a package deal so this package deal stuff is likely just a bunch of smoke and mirrors.
also a rumored one with coby white and leaky black both of who are obviously already committed basically package deals are nonsense
Mitchell Robinson is visiting KU this weekend. No interest in him unless he can play this season and the NCAA doesnt really seem to do us any favors on eligibility matters. I put odds at -5% of him picking KU or ever playing for us
that may be the dirtiest recruit in recent memory good luck to any program that touches him (would be shocked if he ever plays a second of college basketball)
Tre Jones to Duke. Bagley is announcing Monday. Guess is he is heading to Duke and reclassifying to 2017, but then it seems like UCLA and USC are there.
His mom wants him to look closer to home and he may go to UNO if he isnt eligible or KU doesnt think he would make it. Other options are going overseas or back to WKU.
Pelican do you want us to give you bball CB's too? Could be the most versatile recruiting expert this world has ever seen. Dare I say even more versatile than The Godfather
Late August and all of September is the busy season with bball recruiting, so I'm gonna hit you with a bunch over the next few weeks
Was a whole lot more than recruiting, Thad could barely run a practice. Francis' dad was also an Ohio State captain, not a big loss if we get some 2018 PGs and Scoonie Penn's kid in 2020.
Jaylen Hoard announcing today. Should be Wake Forest. http://247sports.com/Player/Jaylen-Hoard-45573175
don't understand why we never prioritized him as an option. he was interested in us but we never really gave him any actual attention. i think he's gonna be good
Yea i like him and Aaron Wiggins. We def had an inside track on him once we took Olivier Sarr, but none of the big schools really made a push outside of Maryland.
fucking aaron wiggins there is a guy on our board who starts a thread every month about how wiggins is a diehard unc fan and would flip immediately if offered. it's infuriating to read his ramblings. if he was such a sure thing he woulda waited for a unc offer. dude doesn't understand that he isn't coming to carolina. it's been explained repeatedly and the dude still does it every month Shiggityshwo
everyone predict your classes i got for unc: coby white leaky black nassir little darius days still holding out hope for a zion or langford and i am sure we'll pursue till the end with them but those are pipe dreams. a class of those four i mentioned will be our best since the joel berry/justin jackson/theo pinson class feels strange how that class would be considered great for us but that's unc recruiting at this point
Kentucky's could wildly fluctuate based on how many return and that's a huge unknown quantity at the moment. I think quite a few of the freshmen return and it won't be the typically large class for Kentucky. But since it could end up being a large class, I'll rank them from most to least likely to end up at UK. A lot of these are also positional dependent. Like UK isn't getting three PGs but two of them is probably happening. Immanuel Quickley - only would I would say is a virtual lock at this point. Simi Shittu Louis King Zion Williamson RJ Barrett Keldon Johnson Darius Garland Quentin Grimes Moses Brown Cameron Reddish I think the first five are all still very much in play at minimum. The rest is a bit harder to get a read on. From what I have read, UK's position with Reddish is better than it's perceived so I wouldn't necessarily count him out but it's still not likely to happen. Bol Bol and Romeo Langford are still being recruited but I'd be as shocked landing them as I was when UK got Kevin Knox.
I can't read the basketball board anymore, every other thread is Duke related, fucking pathetic My point is I have no idea who this Wiggins guy or his obsessor is.
Romeo said recently that he hasn't spoken to Kentucky in a while He's IU/UL with Kansas as a dark horse if he wants to leave home.
Oregon also the favorite for these two 5*. Dana Altman building a monster... http://247sports.com/Player/Emmitt-Williams-85996 http://247sports.com/Player/Luguentz-Dort-86620
How hard are you guys recruiting this Nate Laszewski feller? He's perfect for Brey's offense and we want him badly
pretty hard i believe. he's taking an ov this weekend and he definitely has a spot. roy wants to take 4 so probably needs to commit soon if he wants it. would leave one opening for zion/langford/shittu/little if anyone wants it (lol at getting a top 10 guy tho) i know he's a fringe 100 guy but i want him just to keep him away from brey bc he will be great there. of course our fans have already said he's the next kaminsky
