CapnRon Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Seems like his dad was talking up uk because the interviewer was a uk guy. I think we are still in good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are still in good shape. This is a likely interpretation of the remarks. Also, consider, you don’t tip your hand before you fold. Or, go all in, for that matter. My poker analogy is just to say: of course you say nice things about a player in the recruitment of your son, even if you know darn well who your son likes.

Just would really hate to lose a player like Brooks to that slimeball, but I know its going to happen sooner or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud2BAHoosier Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 After the Carton surprise commit to OSU, I don't know what to think. Paging Coach SS...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danomatic Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 I don’t believe SS, nor many of us expected Carton to pick IU after he visited and didn’t commit shortly after. So, I wouldn’t stress about anything right now. I’m pretty sure that we’re in good shape with our current top targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are still in good shape. That's what I got from the interview. They are clearly impressed with how Cal gets guys to the NBA (we all know that's how all these recruits feel though). At the end of the day, Dad said it was his son's decision and Maxey clearly states that KBJ is really high on IU. Considering Cal's recruiting/roster management, unless KBJ really excels at UK, he will be forgotten/become dispensable to the fans & staff very quickly. At least at IU, he can be a hometown hero and play with a roster full of guys with smaller egos (which someone who is an "unselfish" player would like). Not to mention, the Big Ten has just as many, if not more, NBA caliber players to go up against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierdave Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Looking at 247 CB picks recently, seeing another highly ranked Small Forward predicted to go to UK. Wondering if that means that Cal is backing off from KBJ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing with Hurt....he may be high on their list but hard to say they are a favorite with UK and Duke also in the midst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but they already have a Small Forward committed (DJ Jefferies). Also saw an article about Whitney and he was mentioned as saying that Kentucky is the school that he wants to play for. If this kid likely commits to his dream school we could see a big competitor back off KBJ pretty soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CauseThatsMyDJ Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 Expect Brooks to cut his list to 5 in early August, and expect that list to be IU, MSU, UK, UCLA and UNC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billingsley99 Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 No real inside info on this one but piecing some things together I believe it is a 3 horse race at best maybe just 2. IU, MSU and that school in the state below us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While they get guys to the NBA they are an utter disappointment when it comes to getting results on the court. Not too sure how much longer Alford can last there...and then we should see an end to them being a major player for our guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that the only reason UCLA was ever really an option is sitting on our bench as our top recruiter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were KBJ, the fact that Schilling left a great program in UCLA for IU would give me enough reason to believe that IU is headed in the right direction. That is definitely an impressive list to choose from. I'm confident that an even bigger Hoosier Hysteria this year and seeing the reception that an in-state player like Romeo will receive during it will make a large impression on him. Excited/nervous to see how this recruitment unfolds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excited/nervous to see how this recruitment unfolds! My best guess is Alford has about 2 years left unless they win big before then. That's a primo job and he's a B level coach. He recruits well, but that's about it. And I think any competent coach would recruit well there. Culturally (among other things) I've never understood the fit.
