Maybe Mom decides to throw some weight around if she feels that Calipari sold them a lie. I was not there but many have led me to believe Cal sold Dad,Dad forced it on family as a purely business decision. I am going back to try and locate message I received from someone very close to this process that the kid from Ft Wayne that chose UK gave IU staff a verbal commitment. Trying to find exact date I was given this intel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the ultimate goal for both Brooks and LQ is to get to the NBA fast, they may need to re-evaluate their school decision. If Brooks plays off the bench the entire season, no way he is a top 15 pick next season. Not sure LQ could be a lottery pick after 1 season in college regardless of where he plays BUT with an ample amount of playing time that IU could offer LQ that could help LQ get into the first round. Just my thoughts. Been quiet and just monitoring posts for a bit with work and taking care of a 3 month old. Exactly. You go where the opportunity is. You don't chase the uniform or the shiny new brand. Ask Brandon Peters how that worked out. Or Hunter Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not trying to get anything started but keep your eyes and ears open for someone that was very interested in IU, that is already committed and who is being recruited over to possibly have second thoughts. Nothing happening yet but some chatter starting that a certain French fry condiment could be up for sale again. Don’t get too excited just yet though, gotta see how the other dominoes fall first. May be a moot point but something to watch. Did that certain player not sign his LOI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course. That's what fans do. But in terms of your point with who they have coming back and who they've signed....it's obvious Cal is doubling down and continuing to add talent. If he was as sold on his original commits (Brooks or Whitney) he wouldn't keep adding at the same position. Obviously on an IU board Brooks will garner the most attention but I wouldn't be surprised one bit if Whitney is the one to leave. He's a Mac Irvin kid who is about as shady as it gets in Chicago. He's the one that made Underwood not take Talent Horton-Tucker and take Ayo because THT left his AAU team. I could see Mac getting his kid out of there. Only problem there is he wouldn't have access to UK again and he knows it. PS-None of this will happen just idle sports talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people thought to be cast for it were Robert Redford Clint Eastwood harrison Ford but the director heard Morgan Freeman wanted to be part of it so he was the only "Red" in his eyes.

Since this topic is hopelessly off track, I'll pitch in as well. I think the book is called Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption. Aside from Red's casting choice, I thought the movie followed the book reasonably well but it's been awhile since I read it. The movie is my absolute number one. I have the DVD but still watch it every time I find it channel surfing. ...and for those of you who didn't already know, Stephen King wrote the story. Brilliant stuff a little outside his norm. Kind of like when Grisham writes about people that aren't lawyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
