cybergates Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 SIAP: "Even though the Hoosiers are not having a terrific season, Romeo Langford is still positioning himself to be a lottery pick, so other top recruits may choose to follow in his footsteps. Jackson-Davis and Brooks have been thought to be a potential package deal for some time, and we will find out soon enough. As far as how this decision will impact Kentucky for next season, I do not think missing out on Brooks will be devastating. UK already has commitments from Kahlil Whitney and Dontaie Allen who play similar positions. This is in addition to the continued recruitment of another five-star forward in the class of 2019, Jaden McDaniels." Oh and the source is a Sea of Blue article. In the poll I chose IU for the following reasons: Friendship with TJD/package deal Self stated importance/feeling of "Wearing Indiana across his chest" fUK's 2 and possibly 3rd recruit at a similar position Snow/Daniels are national for 24/7 so I don't buy the choice of them signals it is not IU thing KBJ seems like a smart kid and his reasons for transferring to LaLu made sense to me, can't see the same kid buying Cal's BS. If he's good enough to be OaD, then he can do so just as easily at IU vs. fUK. Romeo has had a "bad season" according to some people (crazies?) and is still a OaD if he wants to be AT IU. Like Romeo, public announcements go better when you choose the home-state school If IU's losing streak/internal issues gave him concern(s), then beating MSU twice and the resolution of internal issues should conversely ease those concerns (FWIW I don't buy the idea that either of those things factored into his recruitment) I'm optimistic that someone who allegedly notified the staff months ago (also don't buy it) isn't going to switch his decision on a whim. Recruiting is a long game, and I don't think the other schools have done as much as IU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only place left for him to conquer is out west for Cal's Showtime. The new 'wizard' that saved another bball blue blood? UCLA has to be attractive to his ego. I would think they have the pockets $$ to get it done from that angle. Can we blow up this rumor? If the internet says it more than 17 times isn't it basically fact? And there is a growing undercurrent of UK fans that loathe the roster turnover. (I know, winning helps erase that) Ha! 'slap fights' that's about right, nothing too intense.

dgambill Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Uh UCLA is no where near UK's level when it comes to facilities, money, notoriety. Cal is not going anywhere until he retires. There is tons of money floating around UK to finalize any kids coming there. They have their own dorms, top notch facilities, winningst program in college basketball history. There is no upside to going to UCLA and UCLA won't pay that much for a new coach. Cal will be there until he gets caught up in a scandal (which nothing will stick to him) or he retires....every other school is a step down.

Unless a harsh NCAA penalty is imminent, Cal's not going anywhere. He gets paid (I guess) $7M+/year, and I don't think UCLA can come anywhere close to that number.

Tired of being strung along which is why I'm hear looking for an alternative. It's certainly an interesting business. I don't know what Keion is going to do, but does it pay to give cold, hard information? Or does it pay to stir the pot? All the mainstream media what their strategy is. Maybe it's UK all the way. Rabs says it's 53/47 UK. Drew says UK with slight lead, but room for IU to ultimately win. Again, maybe it truly is that. Maybe it's 99/1 UK but then site traffic dwindles rapidly. Maybe it's 99/1 IU, traffic dwindles a bit, but they also ruined Keion's big day and I can't imagine they would want to do that. If I'm running a pay site, I'm probably going to be strategic in how I give my information. I don't want people logging off. And if it IS Kentucky, then "we were right all along". If it is IU, then everyone is happy and it's "Archie made a strong push, it all made sense for Keion in the end, but UK was really a possibility" We will see, but I'm with you, it can be very frustrating. I've been a member with this crew (Milehi and others) since the Scout days and followed along to each stop along the way to this ultimate destination. I also pay for Peegs. This is a better site with much, much better conversation, civility and an equal amount of inside information (excluding Monday chats with CoachSS). Hope you enjoy it here, I think you will.

It appears that UK no longer rules the roost like they once did, too many experienced coaches in the SEC. Now whether or not he goes is one thing...considering it is another.

I feel the similar position angle of what Cal has already recruited for the 2019 class falls in line with his positionless recruiting philosophy, here's a quote from a year and half ago: “We started the positionless stuff based on the way we play…if you’re a wing, whether you’re a 2, 3 or a 4, you’re the same,” said Calipari during UK’s Pro Day. “Eventually, I’d like to have a bunch of 6-9 guys that can play point and shoot it.” https://www.aseaofblue.com/2017/10/20/16511944/fans-guide-positionless-basketball-kentucky-wildcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUskim Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 So I went to the peegs site because I’d never really gone to it and poked around. I found it interesting on their target list for recruits and I don’t know how often they update this Trendon was listed as a top target with Keion listed as a high choice.

dwtaylor1055 Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Maybe Armaan and TJD are being so vocal via social media with tagging KBJ due to knowing how torn he is between IU and UK? Noone from UK is doing this. A player or two has been a little vocal from UNC but I would be absolutely shocked if he chose there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
