Well that sucks. You guys getting Snider was going to make us getting Brunson a lot easier.

Nut punch complete, Cliff picks Kansas but not until he gives false hope to Illinois by reaching for their hat then grabbing the Kansas hat.

What a week, go from being thrilled about a class of Black, Finke, Snider, and possibly Cliff to just Black and Finke (happy to have them but sucks losing Snider, Cliff was just icing on the cake).

Snider signed his LOI with Louisville this afternoon.

Stanley Johnson is now committing Friday as well. He was originally going to be a Spring decision, but now I think he will commit to Arizona.

No surprise, he was Arizona bound from the start.

Re: 2014 Recruiting Thread

have no problem with Cliff picking Kansas but how he handled that is completely classless.

You have coaches who's livelihoods depend on getting that big recruit...and you play this game with them? Not cool.

I'd also feel exactly the same if he would of done it to Kansas and decided to go to Illinois.

Plus Snider doesn't have the guts to TELL Illinois he's not going before he turns in his LOI. Totally uncalled for. You at least give the coach the common courtesy to tell them you aren't going before turning it in. Sad that these kids get all this attention. Prima donnas.

Time to focus on 2015 and go after Diamond Stone, Hyrem Edwards, and Charles Matthews for Groce and Co.

I agree. I don't mind highly talented recruits getting the attention and their time on tv etc except when they play little games.

And Duke gets Jones and Okafor, no surprise really. I called it.

Don't feel bad about losing Snider. He's a decent player but not a program changer. Watched his high school team blow the Kentucky state championship last year against UK's Dominique Hawkins and friends. Calipari must have not thought much of him either because he was never an option for us at point guard.

“Duke is definitely still in the picture,” he said. “Myles would have an
opportunity to play for Coach K. Jahlil and Myles could coexist. In fact, I
think they make a pretty formidable 4/5 combo.”

Quote from Myles Turner's dad. I think it's basically 0% he comes to Duke but it's still fun to think about. Turner/Okafor at the 4 and 5.

I don't see it happening. I think we get Winslow to round out the class and then move on to 2015.
