As long as it's not the troll job Fland pulled.  That was like backing up for a field goal attempt.

Just because he decided to commit to UK doesn't mean he was trolling IU. And if you're talking about announcing for UK on the same day as HH, it's a big event for IU but not big enough for a recruit to adjust their announcement schedule around.

Fland and his family were being quiet. It was a bunch of other people saying IU was the  choice.

I think he means picking up the IU hat, putting it down, and then picking up UK.

Eh, that's a pretty weak troll then. I've seen many recruits do that. Plus, he did that for all 3 schools. Lame things like that are why I just let other people watch the announcement and find out afterwards who is picked.

FWIW Queen played HS ball with Reese and Lamathe.  Both on Maryland roster.  Liam isn’t the only player connection for Queen.  If we win this recruitment, it’ll be a huge win for many reasons.   I’m sure Willard tried to use Geronimo as ammo against us. I wonder if that backfired?  
 

idk.

Maybe having Geronimo on Maryland's roster is a good thing for us. I wish we could post emojis on here.

Was that Queen's freshman year? I thought he has been at Monteverde since his sophomore year

I would think it would backfire if they did. Geronimo and DQ are totally different players. That's not even taking into consideration that Miller recruited Geronimo.

Or ... Jordan Geronimo took Derik Queen aside, swore him to secrecy, and whispered that Woody is a better coach and a better dude than Kevin WiIllard.     ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Correct. Played at St Francis in Baltimore as a Freshman and transferred to Montverde as a Soph.

Let's stop with the DSH discussion in this thread because someone just jumping in and not going back a page may think the last few posts are referring to Derik.

And because I don't have a clue who DSH is.

McNeeley just keeps on punching. Queen never struck me as a kid who likes this sort of attention, but since they’re boys it might be more he likes it, but doesn’t like initiating it.

I’m gonna oversimplify it because I think this might be the case:

Three Monteverde kids committing over  a two week period. Newell yesterday, Flagg Friday or Monday, and Queen sometime next week. Space them out, let each kid have their couple of days in the sun.

couple of days in the sun....The Sun....largest newspaper in Maryland is the Baltimore Sun.  Queen to Maryland.

**** you, Stuhoo for suggesting he's Maryland bound.

I wasn't thinking Kansas was even in his top. All we have been hearing is it is most likely down to us and the Terps.... This could drag on more that I like.... Ugggghhh

It’s not gonna drag on. He’s already confirmed he’s gonna sign early and the early window closes on the 15th.

My best guess is by the 8th. It’s truly down to IU and Maryland. The other teams is just to create buzz and excitement IMO.

Kansas 247 board is only talking about DQ Blizzards, pretty fun conversation on their board
