Hoosierdave Posted July 28, 2023 Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 Couple IU fan accounts today suggesting St.John’s isn’t recruiting him anymore and IU/UK seem to be the favorites currently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted July 28, 2023 Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 Hard to beat UK when it comes to point guards. That’s like pg U over there with the nba. You run the point at UK you are just about assured a first rd pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indykev Posted July 29, 2023 Report Share Posted July 29, 2023 A national recruiting writer with 247 thinks we'll get Fland and end up with a top 5 class but it starts with getting Liam to get to the top 5. He thinks we are out of it for Newell, Betsey and Harper. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope IU stays after him hard. He is from Athens, his brother plays for GA. and his parents live there. Has always been an uphill battle. Newell is the player I want the most but there just might be to much in the way. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I'm ready to put a "Good Housekeeping" seal of approval on any coach that has had an immense amount of talent that he's been cheating to get since he was at UMass, and has 1 NC and 2 vacated Final 4s to show for it... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and all of those Runners that the SEC is famous for are now having to compete with legitimate NIL.

Well I’m not sure our opinions matter…he is a HOF coach with over 30 years experience…coaching the likes of Derrick Rose, John Wall, Brandon Knight, D Booker, Jamal Murray, S Alexander, D Fox, T Maxey, C Wallace to name a few. All that matters to the kids is following in those kids footsteps into the nba. He has the track record. If we want to brag about Coach Wooden getting guys into the nba well no one has put more guys there than Cal….whether he had a big part of it or not….he will play freshman and ensure their draft stock stays high.

Boogie won't gain any draft status playing for Cal, especially now that a lot of good players are realizing that there's no special development advantage at UK and are committing to other schools. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not an opinion that Calipari is a cheat... It's fact... He's had 2 final 4s vacated over it... He finally lit in a spot (Kentucky) where they cover it up better than UMass or Memphis... You mentioned Derrick Rose... He of the phony SAT scores that was the impetus for the Tigers losing their Final 4... And I don't know if you meant "Woodson" or "Wooden" but if it's the former, he's done well getting kids to the NBA so far, and if it's the latter, he overlooked Sam Gilbert and probably could be deemed a cheat as well (and I'm from Martinsville) but at least he could win with the talent he poached...
