(2024) - PG Boogie Fland to Kentucky

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,312]

Agreed. Yea leaves were UK all along. I don’t buy for a minute that we were leading going onto this week. 

Not the end all be all, but he didn’t take a Senior Official visit either.

All I have to say is I hope Gabe Cupps becomes the next Ryan Arcidiacono and everyone hoping for him to be recruited over eats their words. How hilarious would it be for him to lead us to a title while Fland spends one season at UK averaging 8 and 3 and goes to NBA after UK loses in an 8/9 tournament game?

Listen to his interviews. He wanted to play for Cal. He knew all of the recent guards that played for him and had success. Stinks bc winning these types of recruitments are how you build that type of resume with the future kids. Woodson has done an amazing job in the portal and in late recruitments, so I’m not going to be upset over it.

And here we go again. always you and Brass. 
 

Must be hard being such a martyr.  If you knew anything about this board, Brass and I basically agree on nothing, so when we do, it's probably pretty evident.

You've basically came on to this site and made three high level recruit predictions:  Ledlum, MM, and Fland to IU.  You've been wrong twice, and every time you are wrong it starts with the 'I was right, but what ha-happened was......'  

The act gets old and stale.  

It would be one thing if you were simply offering us information.  Chris007 does that all of the time.  The difference is that he offers it up as such -- just information he has had.  You chastise people who doubt your methodology and when it doesn't work, you get defensive and preemptively pull the victim card.

I appreciate the information, whether the recruit ends up here or not.  I don't appreciate your viewpoint that everyone else is just throwing darts out there and your misses were because of some unlucky gust of wind.

He won't be the last recruit we really, really wanted that goes elsewhere if he does indeed announce Kentucky tomorrow as is expected.  MM won't be the last recruit we get that we didn't envision happening just a month prior.  Live and learn.  Anyway, HH tomorrow.  2024-2025 season is a long way away....2023-24 is just around the corner.

FWIW, the thought that 'all these forecasters' had changed their prediction just based on the Trilly tweet -- exactly one person on 247 has predicted Fland to Kentucky after the tweet and exactly one predictor on Rivals flipped their prediction from IU to Kentucky.  That's it.  I'm not saying Fland to IU.....just saying that the thought that predictors are just lemmings that follow what Trilly tweets isn't the case or you'd see a bunch of Crystal balls of Fland to Kentucky it the couple of hours since his tweet.

It all did happen pretty late. I'd assume by morning you'll see the flips come rolling in. I never felt as good about this one as many others did. I am also in the camp that thought the 'Stranger Things' stuff was a bit of a stretch. I think it had more to do with 11 and zero to do with IN. But fans be fans so run with whatever.

Rankings aren't everything but are a pretty good guide.  Players ranked where Cupps are aren't typically ready day 1, they need time to adjust and develop for the college game and have bigger roles as upperclassmen.  There's nothing wrong with that and you need those kinds of players, but to win at the level we should expect you also needs guards like Fland.

Honestly, in his interviews when he'd talk about how Carmelo Anthony or Schifino like Woodson he'd add the 'but they're biased' qualifier.  That never made me feel good.

It’s not just trilly.  These other folks aren’t changing picks based on trilly.  We didn’t come thru with our NiL package 

“These people” so far has equated to exactly two predictors.

I really like the big three of Ware, Mgbako, and X this season. If Gallo stays close to same percentage on higher volume and CJ shows a big improvement from last year, we can be really dangerous.

I honestly like the starting five of Ware, Reneau, M, Galloway, and X.  X and Galloway are both high motor guys,   And if the threesome MM, Reneau, and Ware mesh at the 3-4-5, that is an ultra talented group,  While we don’t have a TJD anymore, we also aren’t relying on the Parker Stewart’s and Miller Kopp’s to play big minutes.

100% guarantee he's going to Kentucky. I mean, can't blame him. Kentucky gets their point guards to the league under Cal. Wall, Knight, Fox, Maxey, Quickly. We just don't have that right now. Cal has the history, we have to recruit off faith it'll work.

And he developed none of them.Fox ( put work in NBA) is the only standout player.  Truth be told I’m not really worried.  Anyone who chooses Kentucky seem to fit the same mold. Want the money but when Cal ditches them after a year or two they find themselves meh in the NBA.  Fox , Booker, and Davis are the only stars and Davis is only there because he was a physical specimen.

Wall was an All-Star. Knight was pretty good for a bit. Fox right now is really good. Maxey is a 20ppg guy right now. Quickly is a good roll player. Cason Wallace will end up being pretty good. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is probably a top 5-6 point guard in the league along with Fox.

All on pure talent. I saw no development from when they were in Kentucky to the nba. I love my Knicks but not sure I want Quickly because of the money he’s demanding vs the actual product on the court.

How about JHS which just happened this year

[Scotty R 2,127]

wonder if this Trilly guy just likes playing with fans and playing both sides if the fence. Yesterday he posted Mr. October for 3 home runs and everyone thought it was about IU getting all 3 recruits. 12 hours later he is posting about it being UK. With how nothing really has been leaked before this do we really think something leaked with less than 18 hours left before the announcement.

 

He very well could commit to UK but I doubt anyone really knows that isn't inside his group. I also think with how our fan.base reacts to every nugget out there, these guys probably like watching our reaction. I wish I wouldn't get so caught up in recruiting because it is pretty senseless to get caught up on what a 18 year old kid is deciding.

Regardless of what happens let’s get away from personal attacks. This board always tries to stay above that, and it is what makes this place the best forum for so many of us. 
 

Sandwich talk in lieu of negativity is still highly encouraged*.

 

 

*not necessarily a board policy but definitely a Stromboli policy

Agree wholeheartedly.  I would follow an IU fan named Stromboli into a deli or an Italian eatery.  Do they have  Sangiovese-based dry red wines?  Like...
