Kentucky Rumored to be leading for Jaylen Brown
No bueno...Kentucky Sports Radio reporting
Also seems the scout guys have changed attitude to one of concern regarding Jaylen and that Kentucky now leading.
Well balls.
Something tells me there is something we can't (won't) "bring to the table" when we get down to recruiting wars like this. The price one pays for having a soul...
I AM SHOCKED
However, an anonymous text from an ATL area code? OK
I was relaxed until you patronizingly told me to relax, insinuating that (a) the OP and I weren't relaxed, (b) you're the cool guy with the chill perspective on life and we're not, and (c) being told "relax" by some random internet dude amounts to anything other than wasted reading.
Now I'm not relaxed. Thanks.
Kind of funny you took the time to inform some "random internet dude" that his post was a waste of reading time and that he is irrelevant. LOL.
It was kind of funny, because it was tongue-in-cheek sarcasm. Get a new radar.
Oh sweetie...assumption isn't a good look for you. *pats head*.
Hey! You didn't pat my head, you totally negged my post. Now it's ruined forever!!! Why would you do that to me? Whhhhyyyyy? WHHHYYYY????
This is kinda funny too: http://www.theonion.com/blogpost/come-on-lighten-up-im-just-being-a-tot…
I'm only here to help.
LA LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU LA LA LA LA LA LOUD NOISES LA LA LA LA LA
That's awesome! Can't stop watching it.
So we are now basing this on a random text message that happens to have the same area code? Ok then. I'm going to spoof my phone and send a text to these guys from ATL saying that the South is rising again, and prepare for Civil War Round 2!
Sam's pessimism is what freaks me out, not the text.
Has he changed his tune the past 48 hrs? Dont listen to his broadcasts but been reading he feels good but does not have a gut feeling mid week. Has his mood darkened since?
I think this is the "scout guys" that OP is referring to. Someone posted the same over at the Victors Board--I'm assuming he said something on the radio.
I agree that it's nothing to freak out over given the tight-lipped nature of this recruitment, but it's more than just an anonymous text, I think.
Where was he pessimistic?
One should always be pessimistic, when recruiting against Kentucky for star players.
Nothing to freak out about though. Beilein uber allies. We're doing whatever we can to win his services.
Can't say this comes as a surprise. In my opinipon we shpuld have gone all in on Kenny Williams. Much more realistic and a 4 year 4 star player. When I saw his visit had been set up for May 18 I all but gave up hope. It's on to 2016.
He got an anoynmous text from an ATL area code?
Atlanta is a big place. How is this news?
Speaking of BB, hopefully Bobbi Kristina gets better soon!
Well, that seems like the most reliable type of source I can think of. Pack it in boys, we lost this one.
It's pretty hard to blame a kid for choosing UK when he's an obvious one and done and they have a track record of gettiing their one and dones drafted in the 1st 5 picks. Plus, the facilities that UK has for their basketball players to live in are like something from Lifestyle of the Rich and Famous.
Still in it, but UK is going to be tough to beat.
I disagree.
While a great player will certainly make it into the NBA either way. However, there is no doubt that an elite level talent would most likley be better served at Kentucky or Duke than other schools. They get more national playtime. You know they are going to be in the tourney every year and most likely deep into it. More games, higher profile games, to showcase talent.
Well for the marginal "less exposure" you would get at Michigan, you are flat out going to get better coaching and development.
and has made diamonds from what others saw as mere coal, I don't think there is any room to say Beilein is "flat out better" than Coach K.
is smoky
You're right. D'Angelo Russell would be a much higher draft pick this year if he went to Duke or Kentucky.
and come on, if anyone can do that it's John Beilein, not Calipari.
well the Harrison twins, Dakari Johnson , among others, would beg to differ. They dropped lower on draft boards the longer they stayed. When you start with a team of 5*s, it ain't that impressive to get them to the next level. Similarly, once Jaylen finishes his 1-2 years here at Michigan :-), I doubt many will claim that Beilein made him a lottery pick.
I got an anonymous text from a New York area code saying that he's going to play for my office rec league. Sorry guys.
I got a text from a Nigerian Prince who is offering me a ton of money to float him a loan until his country is overthrown and he can rightly claim his billions. You have to believe.
Did you ask him about his measurables? Maybe he's an unheralded 2-star type that we can coach up. A 7 footer that has been playing soccer his whole life, without realizing that basketball is his true calling.
I'd love having a Nigerian stretch-5 Pittsnogle type dude.
Can I text someone using a 734 area code that Michigan leads?
You can, but Brown doesn't live in the 734 area code, so it might not have the same effect.
But I guess we'd both be equally invalid sources still
setting over under on term "bag men" at 150 if Brown goes UK.
