Love a good Cuban!

 

Chef, a movie written, directed, produced, and starring Jon Favreau features the Cuban. Great flick so long as you have a healthy suspension of disbelief and can get over the fact that Favreau cast Sophia Vergara AND Scarlet Johansson as his romantic partners, while he plays an unemployed chef.

Who was the poster on here who posted the Xavier Johnson screenshot response to Ke'lel Ware that confirmed he wasn't taking any more visits?

I'm surprised we haven't seen the frantic poster claiming to have seen a now-deleted post from some Rivals board in which the recruit's parent/guardian "showed their hand" in an also-deleted social media post. That caused quite a ruckus with Mgbako. I guess there's still tomorrow, though. 

That poster was Ngw, I believe.  He posted right before you posted this.  (I also believe he shared that post with a few on here through PM)

There basically have been two leaked messages/posts in recent memory that showed a player's hand.  MM's mom accidental message to an IU fan she mistakenly thought was someone else and someone who had a Xavier Johnson text with Ke'lel Ware indicating he was no longer going to take a visit to Alabama.

Can practice that suspension of disbelief with about any Adam Sandler movie

What kind of East Coast bread is on that Cuban sandwich?  Blasphemy

At the risk of temporarily derailing the thread (*signaling that is 100% happening) and as someone who has been married into a South Florida Cuban family for many, many years, that looks like a pretty authentic Cuban Sandwich and Cuban bread to me.

I am just going to go ahead and ask the question that everyone is thinking. Does Dane Fife but ketchup on his Cuban sandwich?

I knew it!  You dang East coasters with your Americanized Cubans.  Miami Cuban sandwiches are posers.  It's got to be the split top La Segunda

That's the Cuban that makes me Boogie

Not to interrupt a realllly fascinating back and forth, but here’s Cassidy continuing to ride the UK train. Though, not with a lot of enthusiasm.

Says he wouldn’t bet his house but also doesn’t seem willing to bet his future cast score

Hey Rob Cassidy; that homeless guy from the 1980's wants his sweater back.

As long as we stick with Boogie, we're good!  For those who don't know, the Cuban sandwich was invented in Ybor City Tampa.  Them East Coasters just try to claim it.  

But since they're so proud, I asked Boogie himself.  His quote to me:  "I'm original, and I love the original authentic Tampa Cuban Sandwich"  There you go, end of debate

Appreciate it.

I have been reading but just don’t want the comments. I will make a quick post and probably dip again. Don’t want to argue how the Rabby’s of the world walk on water and logic doesn’t make sense. 

With what I have read, many miss remember a lot of these recruitments and clouds feelings on future ones.

Ledlum was all in but **** happens. Staff learned a little on that one that you can’t ignore these big football schools. Lots of cash to drop. 

@Stuhoo - made a great post but think many discounted it or talked themselves out of it meaning anything. Fact is, Cuban never followed Ledlum and he doesn’t even follow most IU players. Only ones he is working on an NIL deal with. MM, Liam and now Boogie. Prior to that TJD. You can go search but don’t think you will find any others. Cuban is way too busy to follow rando recruits and hope like rest of us. He follows very, very few people and they all have a purpose. As was called out, he followed MM morning of.  The tells on that one went way back prior though. Many just didn’t want to believe or hear it. 

Trilly - has said IU for awhile now. Dropped lots and lots of hints. The confusion on his countdown fully aligned with what others were saying. That there was confusion on the date of announcement. Well, he also recorded a video Monday, that was probably the info that had Trilly confused and he later said “this week for Boogie” - then announcement of Friday came. The video was exact date of Trilly countdown. 

The rivals guys like Rob said the exact, almost word for word thing about MM. IU was in it but his gut told him Kansas (now Kentucky) because of their track record. That is it. Gut. So then message boards, lesser “analysts” like a Kent Sterling take his word because what else do they have to go on. I remember when I was 100% confident on MM. Rob posted a CB for MM to Kansas (while also saying it was just gut) and then like 10 more guys followed him. The “smoke” people are hearing is just that. Guys like Rob going with gut and they trust him and spread it. 

I think most fans and media would all be in on IU if they just had longer track record of landing these guys. It doesn’t make sense to them. Does to me.

IU - wins in NIL on this one or at least equal. Campus facilities equal. Guaranteed playing time. Proven recent success in guard development. Trust beyond basketball with the coach because others around you tell you, he is the guy. Another 5 star begging you to play with him on national TV. No real concern about being recruited over and guys changing mind to reclass. Etc etc

Kentucky - trust me bro - signed Cal 

I also don’t believe there is some back and forth. Has been decided. This “smoke” is fan or rumor driven. Gets going with things like Trilly talking New York guards. By the way, why does everyone assume that is bad for IU? All the recent stuff from Rob C., his burner ball, now former, Twitter buddy etc has said Kentucky last 24 hours. Maybe Trilly was just shocked to finally hear it is IU and all that went on with Cuban etc? Or maybe nothing to do with IU? 

I see zero reason this isn’t IU on many fronts. Yes, social media is a big part of that but not all of it because it does matter and is calculated. These guys don’t follow random people. Both directions. 
 

I have agreed with Chris and TD for some time. I think IU gets all 3. Will be shocked if they don’t. But **** happens

This is a great post and so well written. Three weeks ago I was told that IU was way out in front for Boogie. Was told that he liked the way IU got JHS ready for the NBA, that he was close to Melo, that his HS coach used to do some work for Woody and NY Knicks and lastly, we were sending in Isiah to talk to him. Plus was said that we had a few other tricks up our sleeve. I'm guessing that is Cuban now. When he didn't need to come back for another visit, I took that as a good sign. He knew he wanted to be at IU after the first visit.

Now since then, there has been so much time, I think we IU fans have started to worry or second-guess ourselves or believe anything we read as a sign for UK. I'm sure Cal is pulling out all of his bag of tricks to get him to Lexington. But just don't think it's going to be enough but good news is we're down to under 30 hours till decision time. 

Go Hoosiers!! Tomorrow is going to be a good day.
