They hoisted a trophy 10 years ago. We haven’t made a final four in the life of any of our recruits. 

I'm not sure any recruits remember what happened when they were 7.  And if they google it, nobody won that title.  They certainly remember what's happened over the last few years though

Personally, I don’t get the allure of Louisville basketball right now. You could compare it to IU basketball after the first year under Crean where we had one returning walk-on (Kyle Taber I believe). At least Crean showed a semblance of coaching unlike Kenny Payne.

Getting multiple 5 stars after that debacle of a year is unfathomable and points to either unlimited money promised or very poor advice from so-called mentors/agents.

I get St. John's as close to home and a new high-profile (although sleazy) coach. I get KU since they are a top level program and likely competing for a NC next year. I get IU since, well you know. So choosing any of those is understandable. Louisville? They have nothing to offer. He's a good player and fills a real need for IU but If he goes there that is an indictment of him and I won't feel bad.

Or maybe the kids today are big into horses and love the Kentucky Derby lol

I’m pretty sure a lot of these kids were watching basketball at 7. My six year old that’s afraid of contact sports already watches. I gotta think a fair amount of 7 year olds who like the sport enough to dedicate their youth to it decide to watch it. Or have parents that watched. And regardless the point is more that we haven’t been making adidas as much money as Louisville for years. We can’t be upset that they prioritize them over us.

Rabjohns just updated everyone saying what everyone already knows. No one knows anything about what’s going on or who leads.

I’d say he’s either trying to damage control or shouldn’t have said what he said earlier.  Either way, it’s not a good look for him to try and dispel something that he seems to have said in the first place.

The most likely scenario is that he actually has no real information.

Not that deep.   Just updated what he heard.    Then people telephone that to other places and by the time it gets elsewhere it becomes he says IU is out of it and it’s Louisville.   Lol.   Fun to watch it unfold every day

It’s why he needs to watch what he says in the first place.  You can’t control what people do with something you say but you can predict what will happen.  As Chris had mentioned earlier, Rabjohns isn’t in the loop with the current staff….have to say that this certainly would make that worse.

Now that.. that comment probably did come from Slater 

He also noted he wouldn’t spill anything slater is telling because that’s his friend.

Yep. Saw his evening update. Says there’s people that think it’s squarely Indiana vs Kansas and another that think Louisville is in the lead. Nobody knows…and as reputable people have mentioned numerous times it’s to “not believe rumors you hear.”

He seems to be in the loop just fine with this current staff.   He really doesn’t need to watch what he says.    People been regurgitating what he says for years now and passing it off as their own.    Nothing is going to change.  That happens when you are the top guy

Some of them get clouds and goats confused.

Haha not to go off topic but PeegsWatch on twitter is hilarious. Literally yesterday someone on their posted he wasn't going to the Louisville visit. Later in the day it was confirmed he was still going. I feel their product has gone waaaaay down hill. 

[Alford Bailey]

Nothing but speculation. Nobody knows anything. MM is taking 4 visits just as planned and then we will know.

 I love goats almost as much as my sheep but not quite.

Clouds are beautiful too!

Sure hope we get this kid.
