Huh? What do you mean? CAA basketball is the agency? Payne for sure is connected there and for sure is using them to help. It would not just be one agent etc. 

There has to be a reason why some of these stories keep coming out and getting mixed up. Nobody knows anything - I agree with that. He said he would visit 4. Yep, said that many times myself on here. Doesn’t mean there isn’t a story to all of it.  

I think if said Indiana is a state you would somehow argue that I am wrong. 

I left the word ‘agent’ out after CAA.  
 

Suggesting that the likelihood a player is sticking to his plan to take all four trips is more likely than a hypothetical story  isn’t going out on a limb.

I think your theories are much closer to the reality of these types of situations…huge influencers with tremendous personal stakes on the line, big time $$$ from multiple interests, agents and future deal promises, coaching connections, etc. This has always happened — NIL just opened it up to let in $$$ from programs who tried to keep noses more clean…and in my view created at least the opportunity for a more level playing field. Kid was committed to Duke…and ALL that comes w/it…shoe money, agency, nba immediate exposure, family jobs, houses, the brotherhood forever, etc. The bar was set at the top from the get go…playing time scenario changed, but expectations on full market value were already set by THE industry leader (ok, arguably KY in the game, KU right there too). Now it’s a scramble to see where/who can best match all that, and also maybe feel like the right fit. We’re banking on the later, as we should against a commuter school and a desolate place in BFE Lawrence. Let’s hope we’ve got our ducks in a row on the former too…it matters…a lot!

No one knows anything. Pure speculation about this agency

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 

I cancelled my peegs membership in large part because he was so annoying. He was the king of telling you almost nothing and then claiming after the fact that his almost nothing tidbit predicted it all along.

I quit Peegs when he started monetizing his forum and wanted Bloom, Gojko and myself to have weekly debates on the pros of firing Coach Knight. He's a snake.

Back in the late 90's Gojko wanted to kill me. I stated it was time to move on from RMK and he didn't take that to kindly.

No news Tuesday, as i'd like to call it.

I was a member on Peegs way back for a bit, it was a toxic cluster F of a forum then. Got old fast.

sure about that?

[jbeaman9]

Don't care if you care or not or how you feel about intel and who is right or wrong or making stuff up...

Louisville talk show mentioned today they got bad news on Mgbako

Poster on Peegs said he heard from someone indirectly tied to Nolan Smith that the Cardinals are out of it, down to IU and Kansas

Rabby pops in, only post he's made today, adding fuel to the fire that IU is still in the ring as all of this madness is happening.

And now this (thanks btownqb):

I LOVE SPECULATION

[Stuhoo]

 

Seeing bits and pieces of us reaching out to SGs such as the kid from Marshall.

Not seeing us reach out to anybody above 6’5” yet, which makes me think we are still a real option in this one.

All is fine all is fine.  I am confused.  I assume everyone else is too.

Reverse psychology of speaking news into existence?  Lol.  Whatever the case, it’s now “Maybe News Tuesday”.
