    Damn Michigan sites are really starting to pump some sunshine on James Blackmon, Jr.

      Devin Booker will announce October 31st where he is going. Kentucky, Missouri, Michigan and Michigan State are the 4 schools he is choosing from.

      James Blackmon said his decision will be coming shortly as well, and posted this picture showing his top 5 schools, Kentucky, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan and Michigan State.

      I think Kentucky gets at least one of these guys, possibly even both.

        HAHA

        Yeah most of it seems to be coming from Scout and as much as I love Sam and Bogie they've been wrong about pretty much everything for quite a while now.

        Negative.

          Lol, Trevon Bluiett decommits from UCLA. The state of Indiana has been a den of insanity in 2014.

            I think that`s 4 of the top 5 in the state of Indiana that has now decommited. I`d be shocked if Michigan got back involved with him.

              Donte Grantham a stretch four or three is expected to announce where he is going tomorrow at 9:30 am est on Twitter. He is ranked 87th in the 247 sports composite rankings. I would love for Michigan to pick him up but it sounds like he will announce for Clemson.

                Actually, all of the top 5 recruits in state of Indiana have decommited. Bryant McIntosh is seen by many as the 5th best player in the state and last year he committed to Indiana St before backing out of that commitment and ended up committing to Northwestern last month.

                It's just been a weird class in the state of Indiana this year.

                In other recruiting news Goodluck Okonoboh commits to UNLV. That's a blow for IU as they seemed to be in the drivers seat to land him for awhile and then he ends up choosing UNLV. I don't think Crean was recruiting any other big men besides Okonoboh, so I expect Crean to be active into the spring trying to land a center or power forward for next year.

                  From the looks of things on the Crystal Ball and in general IU was the favorite until recently. Something must have happened because almost everyone changed their picks to OSU or UNLV today before the decision.

                    I've heard this "patience is a virtue" junk all my life. I'm happy to say I have no virtue, no scruples, and no desire to wait too long for anything. In my humble opinion instant gratification takes too long!

                      Duke offered Goodluck a few months ago and was recruiting him for a time and then, for some reason, stopped recruiting him completely...don't know if it was because they thought they had no shot at him, they like their chances with Jahlil/Reid Travis, or something else. I'm guessing the former.

                        Re: 2014 Recruiting Thread

                        One of the more bizarre recruiting tales in recent memory...



                        Basically he was down to Oregon and UConn, his handlers leaked that he had committed to Oregon (even included a quote from the kid, which looks to be phony) but then he tweeted that he hadn't committed and was undecided.

                        Now apparently he has committed again - maybe? Such a mess. It sounds like the kid isn't being allowed to make the decision himself.


                        Sam Cassell Jr was down to Louisville and UConn and apparently Louisville is no longer recruiting him (sounds like they gave him a 'now or never' ultimatum and he told them to buzz off. So it looks like UConn but who knows, we've struck out on everyone the last few months even to **** schools. Wouldn't surprise me if Louisville softened their stance and reentered the picture.

                          Looks like Kelly Oubre is going to commit to Kansas today.

                          Cliff Alexander will be announcing on November 20th where he is going as well.

                            Yeah that sucks. Would have liked to have him but there is still a chance we get Johnson and I think Young has potential to come back. We'll see. Real good player and a great get for Kansas.

                              Agreed, I thought Oubre at the 2 and Johnson at the 3 would have been an awesome combo. I'm not entirely shocked though, considering Cal just started recruiting in like July and Kansas was for quite some time before that.


                              To the Michigan guys, is this a legit site? http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/james-bl...-date-oct-22nd

                              According to that guy Blackmon is deciding on the 22nd where he is going.

                                Legit in the sense that whoever posted that plucked it from Rivals. Michigan's Rivals site reported the 22nd earlier today.
