Have fun with this. Beasmore is a writer for 2 UK sites. While I don’t think Boogie to IU is a lock in any way, it seems there may not be much confidence coming out of the UK side. Liam liking the video interview of Boogie this morning was good to see. While it may not mean anything, Liam seems to be posting more Boogie content here lately on Twitter and Instagram. I’d put IU ahead here 60/40 and love our chances.

I have no inside info, but if a UK guy thinks he's an IU lock and Calipari won't be allowed to visit him, it seems like our chances may be higher than 60%.

Probably doesn’t matter because it really doesn’t feel like Bama is the play for Fland, but fwiw, Richardson is looking to play with the ball. So if he chooses Bama they’re almost certainly out on Fland.

Legacy recruit for Izzo.

Same - when I looked up who the kid was and saw it was Jason Richardson’s son, the fact that it’s been nearly 25 years since a Big 10 team has won a Natty hit home.

Hope you’re right. Seems like everything is quiet on his end and UK is always a huge threat.

It's quiet because he's in decision mode so nothing is really changing looking from the outside. Coaches can't visit him so it's just waiting for the announcement, which might be as early as tomorrow.

Agree. I just really feel cautiously optimistic where this program is heading. I would love to get Boogie as much as anyone, but I know Gabe will have a year under his belt. If we land Liam today and Boogie soon, then we are officially a player at the table again!

Time to start worrying? Sure, IU landed McNeeley but that was a whole hour ago and Fland still hasn't committed. Let's face it, Woodson has lost it and can't recruit. Who has he landed in the last hour since McNeeley? No one!

Fire Woodson at this point, heard Ivan Renko is looking for a job

That would be a home run hire. I heard he's the best coach of all time.

Seriously, though, is it still thought that Boogie will announce his decision tomorrow? Or just sometime soon with no idea of when exactly?

I think Trilly’s “countdown” is supposed to end tomorrow. Was that for Fland?

Trilly did say watch out for this upcoming week for Fland a couple of days ago

I wonder what happened in September? 247 slashed his rating by 5 points in less than a week. On 9/7 they had him at a 98 rating and then on 9/13 they dropped the rating to 93 which is also his lowest. This after he played well over the summer. Seems like a mistake to me. Makes them look clueless. That's why I prefer the composite. More importantly is who is recruiting him hard. I think those coaches know better than 247.

He was injured and played through it and didn’t play well.   He played terrible in front of Woody and at the time Woody wasn’t all in.   Luckily staff stayed on him and he got healthy and started playing like a beast.   Woody and IU went all in.  My guess is his 247 rating will go back up.    They National guys explained their reasoning on the  247 sites

Seems weird to knock a guy for that but they gotta get the clicks somehow I suppose

Boogie Fland, come on down.

I don’t find it weird as he was injured and if other guys played well I could understand them moving up. I could be wrong but have never understood the narrative that recruit ratings are changed to drive clicks.  How does changing Boogies ranking drive clicks? I don’t buy that the guys rating players intentionally wrongly rank guys in order to increase eyeballs.

In any case. We need a guard and he looks like he would be a great addition. Hope we get him.
