SF Vance Jackson (Signed LOI on 11/11)

From ESPN

-- Vance Jackson (No. 49) has kept his recruitment fairly quiet throughout the process, but he’s slowly taking visits and progressing along. He went to UConn last weekend and will stay in the state and check out California this weekend. The Golden Bears have had him as a priority recruit for a long time now -- he was their “must-have” heading into the summer -- and this is their weekend to make a major impression. Jackson doesn't have anything else planned right now, although he’s looking to make another couple visits.

Didn't Jalen Rose take his last visit to Louisville after his UConn visit? Just saying nothings ever set in stone.

Assuming you mean Adams :)

But yes, I believe that was the case. There's definitely nothing set in stone regarding the last visit being the winner. Most of the time it just depends on how the schedule works out. Really hope this doesn't drag along though - hope he just makes a decision either way after this weekend. Not sure how true the rumors were about him potentially taking other visits as well.
 
Adams never visited Louisville, he committed to UConn after getting an offer from Louisville.

I was thinking the same thing. Great city, I have been spending time there recently cause my nephew just opened up his own brewery there. But "Eden"? Not even close! Anyhow, any Berkeley/Oakland peeps, check out Fieldworks Brewing! Tell Alex his Uncle Peter sent you!!! http://fieldworkbrewing.com/

FYI, headed here tonight. I'll report back (probably pretty drunk, since it's close enough for me to stumble home).

Was it Gilbert then who visited Louisville and we all freaked out?

Gilbert never made a visit to another school, but Louisville was in contention for both Adams and Gilbert. In fact, I think they both talked about potentially visiting UL, and that's what made everyone freak out.

I just texted a heads up message to my nephew. I haven't heard back but hopefully he will be there when you are there. He's a great guy, not a big basketball guy (his older brother is Husky fan somewhat), more of a soccer fan. But if you like beer, he's an expert there!!! Have fun, be careful!

Yeah,,,but other than getting his name wrong (Rose??? where did I get that come from?) and me being wrong about him visiting Louisville, every single thing that I said was correct. You can take that to the house.

This is looking to be a tough one. Getting him out of California will be a minor miracle imo.

He's been quoted specifically saying that distance is not a factor in his recruitment.

Recruits play far from home all the time. Since he came here for First Night and just came again for an official visit, I'd say distance won't be a huge factor, but will likely factor in to some degree. How much, who knows?

Sometimes it's the family that wants the recruit to stay close to home, and if there are two programs where the interest is equal or close, proximity could be the domino that pushes the decision in that direction.

I have no idea what he and his family are thinking, but I have a feeling that one program will stand taller than the other where proximity won't be a factor. Let's hope that he likes some combination of KO, his staff, the program, the school, and/or the players more than what Cal has to offer.

He and his dad tend to tweet nice things about wherever they are or just have been, that it's so tough to get a good read on how this is going to go down.

You mean Purdue the university and not Perdue the chicken king. May not seem like a big deal, but I know a person who was fired for confusing the two. She updated a welcome sign in the lobby at my company the day we had a visiting professor from Purdue with a "welcome prof xxx from Perdue. She was fired that morning. Of course, the funny part was that we were a publishing house and the prof was one of our authors. Tough way to learn a lesson. :oops:

I'm assuming you're joking about Cuonzo. UCONN really wanted him but he chose Perdue. He was a very goid, hard nosed player for Perdue. He would've been another Donny Marshall and fan favorite had he come to Storrs.

Yeah Cuonzo was one of those who seemed we had him almost locked at one time. Nice player, good guy too.

You certain it was the Perdue mistake that got her canned as opposed to calling him Prof triple xxx!!!! Of course it depends on what you publish.

Good reply, I never thought of it that way until I saw your comment. I started with prof "so and so", but changed it to xxx. Unintended double entendre on my part, but he was actually a prof in their school of business. But glad I could lighten the mood here and elicit a few chuckles.
