Oh wow, didn't realize that was with Mike Vernon... I see among his many scoops, 2 years ago was KU to B10 haha... That makes me feel more at ease about the twitter chatter in KU circles. In all likelihood just HD trying to build his KU following while having fun at IU fan's expense, since we know how much he loves our fan base 

I have no idea what/if Hunter Dickinson knows anything.  Just know that Ant Wright posted a link to the twitter spaces he had done earlier in the day in which and Hunter Dickinson were both guests on Mike Vernon's twitter spaces cast.  Vernon seems to have latched on to Dickinson, likely because both like to self promote and troll.

Hey where's the poster that seen the XJ text that said Ware was canceling visit to Alabama? That was one of the best inside scoops I've seen on here. We need that guy checking in on things

This reminds me of how Christian Watford used to do a lot of cryptic stuff on social media and it always convinced people he was eventually going to transfer.

XJ tweets that stuff all time, the timing does look bad, but it’s probably nothing

sounds to me like he's going on a long run.  :)

This board's opinion on the utility of info gleaned from social media seems to change like the direction of the wind, lol. 

Not sure why someone would visit a message board and click on a recruiting thread if they're not interested in the latest news on recruits. If you don't consider social media activity to be news, that's fine... if nothing else, it is contextual information that you can ignore without snide comments. Guess there is no fun in that though

some of us are just trying to figure out our Chick Fil A order.

This is the final post I will make on the subject because I am not looking for drama and would rather argue with KU fans. It's message board banter and not a big deal. Just an odd thing to do IMO ...  

Snide (adjective): derogatory or mocking in an indirect way (per Oxford dictionary).

 

 

Edit: yes, you can call me snide/petty or whatever for this post. Lol

There is nothing contextual about who someone is following on Twitter. Ledlum followed the whole damn roster and look where he is

Crap, how do I interpret this?  Does it or does it not mean that the previous X tweet was about MM???????

I just reviewed KU's roster (yes, I am late to this party) Dickinson is now the only center they have and only 2 other scholarship players over 6'6" =  Fr M. Adams SF and Jr KJ Adams SF.  No PF's either. If Mgbako is willing to guard  the 4 there is definitely an opening there. Sure looks like a lot of 3 & 4 guard line-ups in their future, so a "4 out" offense is easy to see too. Only 12 scholarships available due to "self-imposed sanctions" from the NCAA investigation.  

Adams is a 4 and played the 5 last year

If I'm Woodson I would have called MM right after that Kansas player announced his transfer to remind him he's absolutely a wing at IU and looks like he'll be playing in the paint and defending 4's and 5's at Kansas.

KJ Adams isn't a small forward on either offense or defense.  They certainly don't want him guarding the three -- he's physical but doesn't possess the foot speed of a three.

As their roster currently is -- and with a couple of openings, they'll look for a backup 4/5 -- MM would certainly have to play some 4, even if it were when K Adams or Dickinson went to the bench.

This is obviously XJ realizing his first tweet was driving the fan base into a rabid depression, and he had to give us another fleeting glimpse of hope before MM commits to KU tomorrow. Not looking good....... IMO /s

Yup, and I'd be selling that hard to MM right now. It doesn't even have to be 100% accurate to sell it. 

At IU, we've got 4 guys at the 4 and 5, you're a straight up wing here.

False alarm! He’s not. I was looking at mutual followers…my bad 

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan]

I am actually friends with his mother in law so I will confirm this.. and if confirmed I will ask her to disown him cause that's just nasty **** right there...

Nah ketchup has its place. Now a chicken sandwich is not it. Also, hot take alert!!! Ranch is the most overrated condiment/sauce/dressing.

Hopefully tomorrow evening we will be celebrating a signing. Some of us will be having a steak sandwich and beer. Others will be playing video games at chic fil a drinking white claws. We are all brothers here.
