Josh Christopher replaces Kentucky with USC in top 5; M status unchanged
Title says it all. Curious what this kind of movement means for our recruiting, especially considering Matt EM's confident projection from yesterday.

I think this means Kentucky pulled their offer. Cal probably sick of Christopher's twitter games.
USC is always willing to throw a bag at a 5 star basketball croot even though they ALWAYS waste the talent
This possibility seems to make the most sense to me. Slightly concerning considering USC already has Mobley and is a "home town" school, but I'm hoping you're right.
That graphic with UK in it was from July. They have been out since September.
Kentucky's class has been full for close to a year now. They haven't been a factor for quite some time.
Well that would suck to pretty much have a secret verbal losing him to a last minute addition.
There was a time when this meant USC outbid them.
I haven't been following this as closely, but all I see on here is him (seemingly) constantly updating his top, putting shit out there. Not my life and admit I'm grumpy AF with everything that's going on but this seems very attention whore.
If you get this upset about high school kid tweeting, you really need to stay away from twitter and sites like this, for everyone's benefit.
Am I upset? No.
Hmmmm weird...
and admit I'm grumpy AF
Is grumpy the same as upset? Kinda? But not really.
Don't have a twitter, thankfully. I know it's the thing kids do these days but I'm just old school and anti-social media at this point so constant revamping of top schools,updates every day of "look at me", how many retweets can I get... eh... not my cup of tea. Yeah yeah I know, free country, not trying to stop them - just grumbling.
Okay.
Given the recent blowback from a former recruit/player talking about toxic online fanbases having an effect on their choice... let's just let this one slide. I'd like another five star in this class.
If players let Twitter affect them negatively, they shouldn't be on Twitter. I'm sorry, but you never know who is tweeting, or what their true intent is. The Tweet you're talking about could easily be a Spartan or OSU fan.
*If Fans
It is 99.99% likely to be a joke because Nick Young tweeted at him to consider USC. He was already down to a public top 4 so this is way more than likely him playing around.
I'm 95% sure this is him just trolling people in response to a Nick Young tweet
This came just hours after Nick Young tweeted that he should go to USC. I wouldn't think too much of it. It's still likely between Michigan and ASU at the moment.
And for everyone bitching about how he's dragging it out and asking for attention, please stop bitching TO him. Who cares if he's enjoying the spotlight? I still definitely want him in a Michigan uniform
Unless they're teenagers also, it says more about them than it does about him.
Their complaining is a lot more attention seeking than how He's handling the attention they're giving him.
I'd much rather deal with the ups and downs of recruiting the highly coveted top recruits, who have many options...than to deal with players with 2-3 college scholarship seasons under their belt and you're wondering why the coach put them in the game.
To me, that's a much worse type of frustration.
The vocal minority of the Michigan fanbase isn't ready for the big time. Surprising.
Exactly. This is the one time in a kid's career where he has the leverage over the universities. Let him soak it up a bit and have fun with it. Unless he becomes an NBA all-star he may never get this kind of attention/opportunity again. No problem waiting for him to make his choice.
And (not to rant), I actually prefer this to kids committing and decommiting. That's breaking promises and screwing over schools and teammates. I would much rather kids have fun with the process and lock down when they are willing to give their word and stand by it.
Also... have the complainers even seen this kid play? He could demand every call him "Urban Woody" and I'd be happy to do it, as long as he suits up for the good guys.
nothing about USC basketball lines up with what he and his dad have aid about what he’s looking for in a college experience. I know, bag, but hopefully we aren’t gonna lose this time
My confidence grows weaker by the day. There has to be some reason this recruitment wasn't done months ago.
Months ago Michigan wasn't the favorite. He was always planning to wait until after his season.
oh my...if he goes to USC this place will freakin lose it lol
Sorry not funny, but all I can do is laugh at everything right now
Well that's, umm, disconcerting.
The kid is just enjoying the love from all these fan bases. Wouldn’t you milk it out as long as possible?
April fools?
ROJO!
Dunking on future YMCA League 6th Man of the Year Foster Loyer !
Would definitely help to have that athleticism on the wing and he rebounds his position well. Come on down!!!
