Trendon was asked when he knew his game winning shot was going in. His answer? "Before I shot it." I want that kid on my side.

I think THIS is weird:

"One small step for dirt blue collar steelo man, one giant sexy fabricated bs step for mankind!"

August 31st Beat. Ohio. State. ESPN PRIME. TIME!

Hamidou Diallo "returning" to UK after refusing to play last year. Per Zagoria, came back because he couldn't get a first round guarantee, and determined to be a top ten pick next year. Nice recipe for team basketball and predicted shot selection, eh? Calipari does a nice job of juggling egos among kids that want to be at UK as little time as possible, but...oof.

I'm not seeing anything official on that kid yet (though it's likely he returns)

Can I cry "Uncle!"? It is almost always the same result, but I guess as Tim Priller can attest, it is not the same thing!

Not to nitpick, but these two concepts are pretty much the same thing.

Archie has been repeatedly quoted that he prefers to have eight or nine playing rotation-level players, and we've already got at least that many for the coming year (DeRon, RoJo, CuJo, DeVonte, Josh, Juwan, Collin, Freddie, Justin). Archie has gone on to say (and in my opinion, he's right) that if you have too many players that expect regular minutes, it can sow resentment and screw up the team dynamic. Because of this, Archie has routinely left a scholly roster spot open, or at the very least, reserved it for a red-shirt or "high upside-doesn't expect to play" type. That fits Nahziah Carter perfectly. It does not fit a grad transfer at all.

Not Grant's fault, but he NEVER should have been recruited to IUBB. Nice young man who was not the best player on his high school team. Offered by FCTC after a perfect storm week of hot shooting in AAU ball; had a pretty mediocre senior high school season thereafter. Was never a Zeisloft/Roth level high school player, and had zero foot speed - and therefore no ability to ever defend his position at a high major level. My guess? The first workout he had where Archie and staff realized his complete lack of defensive ability, his days as an IU player were numbered.

^^This^^ And that's not just random speculation. Prior Dayton commit Eligible for 2017 Decommitted from Dayton as soon as Archie left, and only then started looking at prep school and a 2018 re-class Huge upside player that kinda blew up in high-level AAU ball this summer Quoted as coveting an IU offer, but projected that he'd rather not wait till '18 to get one AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: COULD VERY WELL FACILITATE UNCLE JAY Z and AUNT BEYONCE'S APPEARANCE AT ASSEMBLY HALL!!! Moral of the story? "When life hands Grant Gelon lemons, it may be time to make... Lemonade!"

Tijan or Haris would be waaay cooler!

Was your similar experience with Tijan or Haris Mujezinovic? Cause that'd be cool.

No need to be sorry: the "99% prediction" from a new source is noteworthy; just wanted to highlight that BTB has someone who is careful, accurate, and most importantly...potentially right on point.

That's a lot of traveling on the young man's own dime! Wonder what shoes he's wearing and how the makers of those shoes are getting him to all those places ;)

FWIW...Other board is saying that Gelon is gone as of this afternoon. This board first broke that as a distinct possibility through a respected poster... Last week.

I think that USPS just called Brass "a crying baby." C'mon guys; work out your late night differences! ;)

I will try to translate (even though I'm an old clucker): "That boy is a PROBLEM" = If you're playing against Trendon or trying to guard him, you're in trouble. So there.

Only silent if you read it "app-style" :)

He did; he just didn't speaketh the name in print. Read the last few pages of the thread, including the "likes".

Suggested nicknames for Trendon Watford: "Wat-T" "Pooky" "Middle School Trendon (MST)" "Flounder" (after all, he's a legacy!) "Trend-o-rooski" "Kei-Ford" (In conjunction with his future frontcourt mate Keion Brooks) "Competitor Who's Awesome Too" (aka; CWAT... oh, wait...) "Called Watford, And T.wat? Never, Okay?" (CWAT-NO)

While I understand the connection to "CWat", that is probably NOT the nickname we would want to give to his brother. Just sayin'.

IMO, you will not be wrong; either way you are accurately sharing what you've heard. Your source might be wrong, not you, and the board should remember that, so that solid posters who share good info know that they are valued!
