James Blackmon Rumors

[IU Hoosier41 14,465]

With Blackmon making his selection this evening, the rumor mill will be full circle. Figured this would be a good place to document & Debunk any and all rumors that come up. Post what you are hearing or reading. Obviously don't shoot the messengers, these are just things being heard about Blackmon.

Posted in  the other thread but will do it here too since this is really rumor stuff: Crean was late for the Big Ten Media Day thing in Chicago. Had "travel issues", traffic in Marion was allegedly backed up this morning.

RUMOR: Coach Crean met with Blackmon this morning before traveling up to Chicago for Big ten media day.

Also of note, Crean was late to the Big Ten media Day and missed his designated time. Was he traveling after the visit?

Haha beat me to it... Rabjohns also talked to JB Sr about if any coaches came to Marion to see him today. (I'm assuming it's a no or otherwise Rabs would have tweeted that info out instead of hide behind a pay wall.)

RUMOR: From a couple days ago, JBJ wanted to commit to UK at BBM, but had a little voice in his head telling him IU was the best place for him. He was hoping BBM would remove that little voice but it didn't. Therefore he didn't commit....

Again, just what I've heard, don't shoot messengers

This is so nerve racking haha. We are all going to be waiting in angst all day long. I just get this feeling something is fishy and he is about to come to IU but I may be wrong. I am gonna be pooing my pants the rest of the week waiting to see if Okafor and Jones come to Duke or go to Kansas.

Haha it's ridiculous. This could either be the best week of the year or the worst week of the year.

ND Kendrick just switched his CB pick to IU. 

[Hwy 1 2,053]

After scouring the internet this morning I've found this. Everyone thinks he's going to puke tonight but some are holding out faint hope he goes IU. In other words, nothing new.

You gotta be freakin' kidding me.

 

That's a bit of speculation that's waaaay hotter than the others.

[Hwy 1 2,053]

Now you have to wonder if there will be a mass last minute switch to IU even though none of them know.

I'm sure a few will. Its like the blind leading the blind.

Kendrick switching is pick is pretty big in my opinion.  If you look closely at all of his picks, many of them are at the last minute and he gets them right.  I would guess he is just trying to get as many right as humanely possible.  Therefore, the late switch is either a stunt and he'll switch it back, or he feels confident in JBJ to Indiana.

 

WOW.
