Re: 2014 Recruiting Thread

It's duke Kansas or Kentucky.

Hate to break it to you man he's just stringing you guys along because they're the local team. Just IMO.

I give it about a 5% chance of him ending up here.

Anyone know much about this guy Kevon Looney? He's a Milwaukee guy so I hope he stays home with Marquette. Very wiry, almost Durant like so he has drawn comparisons.

He's good. I think he'd look good in Green and White.

Any news on where Emmanuel Mudiay's going?

My guess is Kentucky

Re: 2014 Recruiting Thread

Umm, Mudiay said he's wide open right now.

Hasn't even cut his list down from 10.

That's why he said "his guess".

The only person in the class I am confident in UK getting atm (other than Karl Towns who already committed) is Trey Lyles.

Honestly, what else is he going to say? It's early in the process and he is going to feel it out. Besides, ask anyone connected to recruiting and they will tell you the worst source of info on a recruit is the recruit themselves.

There is a VERY good chance he ends up at UK. Cal has been on him like white on rice and he loves Cal/UK and he is priority #1 at the PG spot for UK. I'm very confident he will end up at UK, and while it is just a guess, its a very informed one

From scout.com:

Latest article in scout. Took recent trips to Arizona and Baylor. Baylor has his old teammate Austin.

Disputes the idea that Kentukcy and Baylor lead:

The school of thought is that Baylor and Kentucky are the leaders for Baylor, but he disputed that.

“That’s what is crazy,” Mudiay said. “I’ve never particularly mentioned one of them. I’m open right now. It’s still early. It’s getting down to where I’ll have to make a decision soon, but I really don’t have a favorite right now.”

Very informed, eh?

I stand corrected. If the player says it, it must be true. He would have no reason to keep his intentions secret.

You're acting like you have some inside info though.

BTW, rumor has it that you guys got a commitment today from PG Hawkins for 2013.

I do have inside information and from what I know I think Mudiay will be a Cat in the end. I am not puffing my chest, just giving my thoughts based on the info I know. With that said, who am I? Absolutely nobody. Plus, recruiting sucks and changes way more often than people think so you never know.

I have not heard that Hawkins has committed yet but it does seem imminent. He may have, I just haven't heard it yet. If he hasn't, it looks like it would be by the end of the weekend by all accounts. I hope so, I really like the kid. We'll see.

Cal is visiting Wiggins as we speak (or it may be over by now). Could be informing him what the roster will look like next year. Could be just keeping the relationship up. Could be Wiggins telling Cal he is dropping them or it could be him committing to UK. Really don't know. However, I don't think it is the dropping UK thing and is likely more about the roster.

We should all find out soon enough what that kid will do. I hear UK quite a bit and while I think it will be UK in the end, there are other variables in this recruitment that could make things change.

Like how much $$$$$ Cal/UK offers him???

relax everyone, it's a joke, lets break up the seriousness that is recruiting

Re: 2014 Recruiting Thread

Heh. Sounds like Alford has hired the head coach of Park Tudor HS in Indianapolis to join his staff at UCLA.

I'm sure he is extremely qualified and was hired based entirely on his own merits.

Re: 2014 Recruiting Thread

If Tyus is stringing us along just because we're the hometown team, he's doing a good job of it.


From: @bobsansevere
Tyus Jones on Pitino: "I can hear in his voice how excited he is to get going ... That's what you want to see in a coach: The passion."

From: @bobsansevere
More Tyus on Pitino: "His style of play is going to be up and down and fast-paced, which is what I'm looking for in a school."

From: @bobsansevere
And this: Tyus Jones says he might delay making his college choice to see how Pitino coaches the Gophers in his first season.


All you need is a chip and a chair, I suppose, haha.
