Class of '66 Old Fart

(2024) - PG Boogie Fland to Kentucky

Recommended Posts

Something changed Monday and IU guys weren't clued in. It was obvious from UK side they knew wind was blowing in their direction then which Kent Sterling and Andy Sweeney got a hold of on Kentucky end.

It appears IU guys were left in dark until tonight and somehow Trilly was not clued in until now either. 

Sterling is always Mr. Positive for IU despite his quirkiness and overbearing love for Dakich. When he said UK I had a feeling it would go their way despite others telling me the opposite. 

This program wasn't living or dying with this recruitment. I have a feeling Woodson will kill it in spring with late recruitments and portal players as he always does and this time he gets to do it with an elite recruit in hand with McNeely. When he nabbed Ware and Mgbako last spring he had no great recruits already and in spring 2024 he will already have one in fold.

Can IU just fire Tom Allen tomorrow around 2pm to lift the spirits and we can pretend this recruitment never happened.

My sources are saying Allen is actually going to be getting a 6 year extension being announced tomorrow

That wasn't my question.  My question was specific to Ngw if he is still on record as saying Fland was coming to IU.  Because if he's not, then he is also changing his stance based on a Trilly gif.

He’s conceded (kind of) and having an epic meltdown on Twitter, err X

Cal is still Cal. He doesn’t win like he once did but for some reason guards buy into his crap more than any other college coach. He constantly overhauls his roster and has guys leave yet he still gets recruits that want to play for him. It’s truly incredible. I get it UK shells out $$$ but it’s still crazy.

Seems like since the new regime a lot of the dudes on here or other sites that claim to have info, don’t. Which is fine, no leaks with this staff 

There are leaks. Guys do talk. The IU staff was hopeful until today.

While true you don't want to always have to rely on trying to get recruits in the spring. We only got three guys the last two fall classes. That really needs to change imo.

They may have been hopeful but wind has been blowing UK's way since Monday as their writers were saying and Kent Sterling and Andy Sweeney got a hold of. 

No way he promised IU earlier today or this week and flipped tonight. IU side was just in dark or had bad info until tonight.

Who said that? We need to be stacking this kind of top end talent.  Cupps etc are good pieces and have roles but it doesn't change that we need to be stacking players like Fland.

Sarcasm.

But the panic across the board screams it.

Yeah Cal’s recent results have consistently disappointed their (toxic) fan base and national expectations. Not sure why anyone wants to opt into that, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

When Trilly made that tweet about New York Guard(s) having dramatic recruitments, it was pluralized for a reason. That was the night, he knew. And same with his protege Noah.

Also, Cal had just visited Boogie in New York. Woody was about to go and the camp announced no more visits before he came the last time. The signs have been there.

Not sold on the supposed shift of direction. I think it's a bunch of fluff. Wouldn't be surprised to see Fland announce for IU tomorrow. These interlopers on both sides are just carrying water for themselves. We shall see. 

Trilly and Rabby have both shot that down. I love your optimism, but don’t keep your hopes up on this my friend. Dont do that to yourself.

I think most staffs are always hopeful but that's a far cry from being incredibly confident. I think Woodson should just become a full time spring only recruiter. For whatever reason the last two falls have not gone that well.
