Good call.

I hate seeing this because it is taking the best players from Indiana high school basketball.  Also I would say this move probably hurts the local colleges in the recruitment. If he was really set on IU I wouldn't think he would need to make this move 

It shouldn’t hurt recruitment - if he’s truly a top 10 talent then all the big boys will be on him regardless of where he plays.

Apples to oranges.

The appeal of Duke will wear off eventually, if they don’t continue to have the success under Scheyer that they had under coach K. Not to mention they play in a glorified HS gym, and facilities do matter. They’ve gotten by on the ESPN hype of “Cameron Indoor”, but that will wear off too.

Time to move on from Flory and wish him well.

TJD with a double double today.

18 points 10 boards.

He is never gonna make it without an outside shot.  😁

All that in only 25 minutes….the Warriors got a steal!

Not sure you guys read his entire statement.   

He said, "I feel fortunate to work for a place that values me and actually pushes me to go home and backs me up and takes my side even when it might effect their bottom line because a client is being unreasonable. It’s nice for a change. Find the right culture is important. "

Sounds to me he did find what he's looking for.  

For the record, I have no problem with Muchahey grabbing the bag.  

I took it that way too. Sounds like he very much appreciates the company he works for now…just needed the “right fit”.

I’m being cautious and went 16-20, because we have so many new players that I don’t think any of us know what to expect. We should be very talented, but I suspect we’ll struggle early on, and then start to gel mid-season. We’re still missing that game changer at guard, but I’m hoping Galloway or Gunn can fill that void. Hopefully, we make the NCAAs and make some noise. I’d be happy to be wrong, and be in the 21-25 range at the end of the regular season.

He has the most punchable face of anyone I’ve ever seen. Looks like the guy at the class reunion that has a few beers then wants to take a sh!t in a paper bag and light it and leave it on the principal’s door step.

Yep, the type of guy you just want to smack!

And that's why the coaching staff will fill that last spot if an opportunity arises and not us fans. I can't imagine they'd fill the spot with a player who will be a bad fit. 

Apparently, we’re comfortable enough with what we already have, that we won’t make an offer just to fill the spot, unless it’s a real difference maker.

I guess I assumed he already had an offer since Duke was "supposedly" the leader. 

Don’t want to get too excited, but considering all the chatter we’ve heard that Duke was a done deal, it’s a good sign he didn’t commit on the spot. If we can get him on campus for his last official visit, we might still have a shot.

Big Blue Nation thinks he is the next Rex Chapman.

For his sake, let’s hope not….Chapman is a real mess!

I’m respect to the young man…I think he can be a really good college basketball player…but I don’t see this being a good fit for him and not being a highly ranked/coveted recruit he will likely not see much playing time because Cal always prioritizes those kids…even when they don’t deserve it. His only job is to ensure they get drafted.

So true!

Yes we are. I called MM mom and that worked out pretty well I think.

Well then, can you go ahead and reach out to McNeeley, Newell, Bidunga, Sisley and Haralson?

Nothing we could Dangle in front of Dingle???  🤪

Didn’t he already commit to St Johns?

Anybody else getting excited about next year? We’re one good shooter/scorer away from being a really good team.

I didn’t really expect this, because I didn’t think we were at a point yet to compete with the likes of Kansas for top recruits. I can’t overstate how big this is for future recruiting battles, especially, if it translates into winning titles and NBA draft picks. 😁 🤚🤚🤚

17 replies in less than 10 minutes... This topic is heating up. Go out to get the mail and it will take you a half hour to catch up! 6 hours to go!

Don’t know about the rest of you, but I’ll be glad when 6:00 gets here, and we know one way or the other…tired of all the drama. Would love to get him, but not the end of the world, if we don’t.

His mom just started following Chris Ledlum and Rick Barnes. 

Oh no, tell me it ain’t so.

I thought someone said no more good players were going to enter the portal? Not sure who it was but seems like the longer it’s been the quality has gone up exponentially.

I’d take him.

I was in church and the first thing I checked after getting out was to check this site

At least you waited until you got out! 🙌

Is it bad that I’m checking for info while in church? Lol😇

I’m not here to judge, but I’d say it’s pretty bad. 

And now all the chatter begins…let’s hope for the best!

What’s to leak? Kid is taking a visit. Walking around looking, asking questions, meeting people. I highly doubt he is making any commitments halfway through the visit.

Not expecting a commitment at this point, but usually some chatter during a visit.
