Was it the Jeff Goodman jinx that did it?

@SteveJones_CJ: JaQuan Lyle declined to discuss any schools he knows he wants to consider going forward.

Seems like there is buzz about Kentucky, but that would be very strange considering the just landed Ullis today. Not sure what's going on in Louisville with Snider and Lyle both de-committing within a few months of each other - maybe Pitino has retirement on his mind?

At some point, recruits look at Pitino's neck and just get creeped out.

You have to expect that.

Chris Jones is a PG plus Terry Rozier.

 

[Fishy]

I'm gonna go on the Twitter and offer the kid a scholarship.

Early bird and all.

Someone let Ollie know that I've gone off the reservation.

He committed there knowing all of this tho, plus Snider was a commit at that time as well

I wish uconn would recruit him now...but I bet he ends up at Butler, he is an Evansville kid, and you could guarantee him minutes...but I truly think dorsey will start the wave of pg's going to learn from Ollie, you really have to get in early on a lot of these kids, without that contract and all the chaos, we are still experiencing remnants of that. I think considering, we do have some good talent and I believe the clouds are clearing up.

Jesus. Between them and Indiana, nothing's locked up.

My guess would be us, Indiana, Kansas and Michigan St. will have offered this kid by the time the sun's up.

Butler could very well be in there, too, but I don't expect them to pull top talent without Stevens.

Wow lets jump on this kid! Big athletic point guard, kind of what we were looking at with Perkins and Francis all those months ago. Seen a video of his before, and KO would work wonders with him. Come on, Coach, this could be a blessing!

Kids these days.

Might follow his buddy snider to Illinois,they became good friends also played some aau ball together.

 

[Burnsbros23]

Don't think he will follow Snider to Illinois. Illinois is out of scholarships. They are recruiting Cliff Alexander and that's it if they land him they need to boot someone.

Scholeys are awarded year to year. You're never really out of scholarships.

possibly to UCLA? maybe a spin off of the Isaac Hamilton news

They actually then realize they are being coached by IMUS in the mornin'.............

 

[sledog]

After 17 posts, still don't know what position he plays.

 

[CTBasketball]

Lyle is a 6'4" point guard. Some say a combo guard.

 

[Brochacho]

Was apparently upset VIlle kept going after Whitehead, but hey if he comes here we won't recruit another guard over him!

Lyle is a 6'4" point guard. Some say a combo guard.

FWIW, I saw him listed as a SG on a couple of sites, but he was listed as averaging 6.8 assists per game. Said he was being pursued by a lot of Big Ten teams and Florida, of course, prior to committing to UL. Well, let's not get to interested here unless UConn actually gets involved.

Pitino at Louisville seems to have an inordinate amount of decommits. Seems every year at least 2 kids verbally commit and then decommit. I'd like to do some research and see how many decommits they've had.

Pitino consistently over recruits. Has done it for a while now. I dont know why kids dont wise up before committing instead of after.

 

[James]

Can't help but consider a prospect decommiting because theyre scared of comp as a red flag. If its for other reasons cool, but because the coach is recruiting another player for same position? If you're good enough you'll earn tick no matter what
