Might very well be true. However, when a staff and "insiders" are extremely confident on a Sunday, then things abruptly change and are blindsided the next day, something always smells a bit fishy.

Who said anything about throat punches?

I have a hunch that we're getting either Rahsool Diggins or Jaylen Blakes as our PG in 2021

i'd think we have a better shot at Hunter than Diggins given him being a philly kid

I wanted this guy but on to the next. So next year we have (likely) Bouknight, Polley, Whaley, and Carlton leaving. I have a hunch that we're getting either Rahsool Diggins or Jaylen Blakes as our PG in 2021. I'm not sure I see us pulling in a Center for 2021 since we'll have 2 sophomores on the roster and the staff will be putting lots of effort into Clingan. That leaves scholarships open at the 2/3/4. We will have BA at the 2, Martin/Jackson at the 3, and Springs/Akok at the 4.

Read a couple places on the BY that this is Brendan Adams last year so he won't be available for the 2021 season. Might be recruiting for a pg and another combo guard.

Sool is from new jersey so i’d think we’d have a good shot because of that too

Yeah I brought it up a few months back too. It was mentioned on several broadcasts that he's graduating next year. Whether or not that means he's leaving the program, we'll see.

i understand that but you dont think him going to school in philly gives wright the edge? kofi and precious leaving nyc to play for different highschools hurt us just like diggins leaving jersey hurts us

I never said that, I don't expect us to get Diggins. But just explaining why k-walk said he's a Jersey kid

Nothing in recent memory will be worse than kofi. Still can’t believe he chose Illinois over UConn. Lol. Comical
 
Idk what weight this holds but Ellis is live on Instagram with Jake Weingarten now... he just said he has no clue where he's going and that he's going to decide tonight. Again don't know if this is just smoke but he did say that.

There’s no way he doesn’t have a school he plans to commit to tomorrow. Ig anything is possible tho

Generally, recruits that set dates to commit are fibbing when they say they have no idea where they are going. Makes sense when you think about it....

I’m not claiming to be some kind of insider my dude. Multiple broadcasters said it this year so I thought it was worth mentioning.
 
Oh well. I guess I won’t need to refresh much today. I can have a productive day at work.

Sounds like he is trying to get us to fall for the banana in the tailpipe.

Yeah it's the old "University of...VCU" move. Whatever happened to that guy anyway?

Cockburn had a great year so not as comical a choice as you say.

My two cents..El wants PT..He's looking at roster construction to determine his next move.He's not lacking in confidence..He's enjoying the social media attention leading up to decision time..Dan Hurley's recruiting offers should indicate where he sees the needs for 2021/2022 roster.. When TM is allowed to play may affect El's decision.. I see TM as a big SG or a SF/wing.. JG should be "peaking" in 2021-2022.. See El as a "nice add" to our roster..But with the pipeline Dan Hurley has created for 2021/2022..Not a "have-to-have" add..

Yeah, I think this comes down to playing time. Bouk is all but gone after this year, but then you (potentially) have RJ, Gaffney, Martin, BA, and Jackson coming back who could fill one or both guard spots. Ellis is a talented kid who likely would have slid into a big role, but it is not a clear path by any means. As much fun as I have poking fun at the University of Louisville Crime Syndicate, the whole "they dropped a bag" shtick is played out. It's never fun to lose out on a kid who the staff obviously wanted, but there are still a ton of kids out there. No need to panic
 
If it's about PT, Louisville isn't a better spot.

In 2021, you will have breakout sophomore David Johnson playing point, plus the development of young guard Josh Nickelberry and D'Andre Davis, both top-100 recruits. In '21 they also just recently added a PG in Bobby Pettiford.

You have breakout sophomore David Johnson playing point, with grad transfers Carlik Jones and Charles Mineland playing major in minutes too, plus young guard Josh Nickelberry and D'Andre Davis, both top-100 recruits.

Even if Mineland plays all his minutes at the 3 guard, that's 2 excellent guard options with Johnson/Jones with Davis/Nickelberry in the mix.

Jones and Minlend will be gone though, correct?

You're totally right. For some reason my brain went to 2020, not 2021. Thanks for catching that. I edited my previous post with the corrections.

Waking up today and seeing 100% of his crystal balls, I'm ready to label this as "next...".

I do like Hunter!
