Well, these guys are still uncommitted..... They are all in IU's top group still. I know KY is heavy on Ngongba.

• Derik Queen

• Patrick Ngongba

• Travis Perry

• Dylan Harper

Queen- 35% chance.  He and McNeeley are tight,  
Montverde connection is great.  But I don’t feel it. I think Queen is looking for a different style of play whatever the heck that means to him. 
 

Ngongba-1%chance. We want Queen. We’ve invested heavily to hopefully get Queen.  We have zero momemtum here. He is on an official to Duke right now with Edgecomb (star) and Flagg.  Duke’s if they want him. 

Perry- 5% chance. I doubt it.  I would imagine we have a solid shot here if we prioritized him.  Maybe our staff has been working behind the scenes. UK was considered the homeschool leader here but Fland changes the equation.  Still could be UK if they push.  Purdue has interest.  I could see Purdue over IU. Doubt it.

Harper-0-2% chance. It seems Rutgers.  He has a top 5 and Kansas wants him bad.  I think Duke is looking at Edgecomb and already have Knuppel..  He has already trolled us. We aren’t a realistic option here.

This is not a "sour grapes, we didn't want him anyways" post. I absolutely wanted Fland for both his talent, position and the perception of getting two 5*'s in one week against KU and UK. 

We need to be stacking high-end talent in these classes, and especially in the backcourt. 

I wanted us to land Fland. Just making it crystal clear. 

With all of that said, I am perfectly comfortable with a sophomore Gabe Cupps as our point guard next season. I was hoping to have Fland and Cupps together, but I'm perfectly comfortable with Cupps running the show next year. 

I'd even argue a sophomore Cupps has more potential to impact winning at the college level next year as a point guard than a freshmen Fland. 

Now, we need to add more talent in the backcourt. More playmakers, more creators, etc., but I'm good with Cupps

Just a guess...I think this staff is going to land a top talent PG for next year and then as a jr. Cupps will take over. He is going to have a huge impact this year and next year regardless of his role. But if this program wants to win a National Championship, they need to go after a transfer Portal PG next offseason. 

This year is so important for the future. How big of a jump do Trey and Malik show? Is Mackenzie really a one and done? Can Cupps and Sparks be great additions to bring off the bench? Can CJ and Kaleb contribute? I am hoping the answer is positive for a lot of those. If not, that is where we might be in trouble.

You mean last me JHS, MM, Reneau, Bates, Ware, Liam

In the fall. Bates is clearly not a five star

No idea how good Boogie is, but as a 5* assuming he's legit. This one stings. Even if we missed out on Queen, having Boogie and Liam in the fold prior to Woodson being able to poach a post0season decommit, as he has the prior two seasons, would have been much better footing than just with Liam. Woodson and staff I'm sure will surely figure it out but rat farts

Don’t read it unless you’re one of those guys who enjoys watching your X girlfriend/wife with another guy or ripping off the band aid slowly…. Lol

I wonder if Cuban will unfollow or simply forget he followed.

Kidding aside...it's another wonderful day in this precious and fleeting life.  Enjoy your day, folks, and have a Happy Friday!

Dropped a calipari uh?
