C Nick Richards (UConn Offer)

[UC1985]

I thought that Richards was a solid target a month or two ago, at this point I'm going to go with -5% chance we get him.

I guess we'll throw the other +105% chance on Cal?

My Crystal Ball is more mathematically advanced than those @ 247

Be careful about putting "nauseous" and Cal in the same sentence you may pay for that from the Cal lovers.

I wonder if your imaginary narrative about Cal lovers on this board will ever get old for you. I would have thought it was played out 5 or 10 posts ago.

I was going to sarcastically post "I love Cal" but I couldn't stomach it.

Kid wants to become the next towns or Anthony Davis , what a shame.

Also I would, per usual, take anything quoted from his hs coach with a grain of salt. He has no clue what's going on.

I don't think the point is the kid wanting to become the next Davis or Towns, who wouldn't. The point is these kids, and their parents, actually believe he had something to do with how good they are. Never mind the ones who didn't get any better like the Harrisons who were mediocre at best coming out of there.

I would give cal props on WCS tho. He wasn't a five star blue chipper but spent time at uk and looks to be a starter caliber NBA big. It's hard not to associate cal with being the king Midas of sending kids to the league, not a huge fan of the guy but it is what it is.

KO can turn into the same thing if he gets 1 or two sure fire top ten picks, get the ball rolling .

Towns was a superstar if he went to UNH.

Like you too much, agree to disagree - cool?

WCS is 7 feet tall. 17% of all the 7-footers in the US play in the NBA. With 4 years of D1 college training, it's not hard to turn a 7-footer into an NBA player.

He's been Kentucky bound for awhile, it's inevitable.

John Calipari meets with St. Pat's big man Nick Richards

After reading everything on Nick Richards the last few months I get the sense that he and everyone around him has googly eyes for Kentucky. It kind of makes me nauseous just reading this stuff. I'd put money on him committing there.

Agreed. I hope he is wearing a haz-med suit.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

I'll take Bamba as a consolation prize

Maybe you could explain this to me...he's been U.K. bound for a while, recruits are now committing. Why hold out on announcing? Is there any benefit at this point?

To take his visit, but yea, get it over with already...

A lot can happen that could make him wish he didn't commit early, and as long as he knows the spot is there, why rush?

 

[80shusky]

Verbal Commits doesn't even show us as having offered Richards. Just an omission?

 

[80shusky]

As an update to my own post above ESPN, 247 and TOS all show us having offered Richards so I'm assuming this is an omission by Verbal Commits.

 

[80shusky]

Looks like Richards take an official to Kentucky next week 9/30. He says in article linked to Tweet that his mom likes Kentucky. Could be all she wrote.

Meantime, he indicated that UConn and Indiana are essentially out of the mix.

“Basically,” he said.

Figured that was the case. Don't know why he just doesn't go ahead and commit to UK. Holding out for more?

 

[80shusky]

Cuse visit. Announcing decision next Thursday. I would still be shocked if he didn't pick UK.

No surprise here.
