ND. Kendrick is now 9-1 when changing his pick within 24 hours of announcement...

One feature I remember them having is them showing how right someone is.  He is correct 87% of the time.  19 correct and 3 incorrect.  He makes educated guesses or has first hand knowledge.  He isn't one to go out on a ledge.

Let me feed the rumor tree:

 

That UK hack poster on RuppRafturds, Running Ramel is an Indy guy and has claimed to be connected in the past. Apparently Ramel has just backed away from his firm "JB2 to UK" forecast.

This is going to get interesting.....

That was early this morning.  Clearly has heard something different now.

He's controversial... but I'll post it anyway:

first, last and only tweet of November: James Blackmon, Jr to Indiana. If I'm wrong, I'll delete my account b/c I won't want to hear ****.

I think Kendrick has always thought JBJ to IU honestly. I remember him mentioning it before.

This has gotten so interesting I knew something just seemed so fishy. If this is the case hope he is ready for death threats and hate tweets from the classy UK faithful that started being fans when Calipari got there.

He won't delete his account if he's wrong.

He won't delete his account if he's wrong.

 

So true.

It's for football, but in the last 5 years.  Only 11 out of 73 decommits ended up recommitted to their first school.  Decommits are much more common in football so I would imagine this number is way more rare in basketball.

How awesome would it be if UK got spurned by both Booker and JBJ?!

Weird thing, hope I don't jinx it, but hasn't almost EVERY other recruitment we've had followed the EXACT OPPOSITE feel that this one is taking on? 

 

Steps 1-27: IU leads. 

Step 28: A shred of info is leaked, doubt is formed

Step 29: A tailspin ensues where we fall from grace faster than my blood sugar 20 mins after eating a case of krispy kremes. 

Step 30: Kid announces, confirming the picks all the experts switched at the last second. 

 

Even if he does pick UK, it's very refreshing to not have to watch the impending doom and tailspin for the 24 hours beforehand.

What time are they closing the "crystal ball"?

A very good source says it's "50-50 between Kentucky & Indiana" for James Blackmon.

He did until recently.  He switched to UK like a week or two ago.

This is awesome. Hoping my gut feeling is right.

Not gonna lie, I have been texting people all day trying to find out where in the hell this late shift came from.  I have heard non-stop JB2 to UK since before he decommitted and now people are optimistic that weren't.  Something happened on that UK visit for this big of a change.  I am in a I will believe it when I see it mood, but this is a kid we are still talking about.  Nothing would surprise me anymore if he commits to IU.
