How many times has it looked like we led for a recruit only for another school to nab him at the last second.  Lets be that "another school" this time lol

Can’t remember the last time we legit led and had another’s school just swooped  

Brooks seemed to just be because Cal had eyes on other players he missed on. Which means did we really lead?

Guys the reinstatement of Wade at LSU is likely just legal posturing.  I get it, it's the SEC and so I might be wrong.  But my guess is they can't fire him now because the investigation isn't done, and they don't want to pay the buyout.  They'll wait for the evidence then fire him with cause.  Look at the wording of the statement.

 

 

 

 

I'd guess that the Watfords know this.  And I doubt they'd commit anywhere they don't know who the coach will be, as it sounds like development for the next level will be big.  

 

Are we sure that Trendon won't get the offer even if Hurt commits to Duke?  ESPN has made Duke the biggest thing going.  Even on the bench at Duke Trendon would get more recognition than at some of these other schools.

 

It does appear we're not out of it.  As I think about it, for next year we could pair either TJD or Watford with De'Ron and hopefully Brunk, and each of the four could get 20 minutes a game.  And then there could be times when we play TJD and Watford, and that would be pretty darned effective, too.  

 

Side thought, we lost a couple games this year because Juwan was on the bench with foul trouble.  Putting him in to guard the 5 was a pretty crappy solution, because it just took our best player off the floor.  I get it, there weren't really better solutions on the bench.  I really like the idea of having Brunk and De'Ron to soak up the fouls guarding the post.

People thought we led for Garland last year, Brooks this year.   It seemed like we had a good shot at Wilkes.

Who knows if it was the case.  We technically don't know that Memphis leads for Watford either.

Weren't we considered a lock for Bruce Brown and Tremont Waters? I know those were a couple years ago. I don't remember the Brown one as much, but it wouldn't surprise me if there was something shady with Waters considering where he ended up

I don’t remember us ever being a lock for either. The only lock for a 5 star I can remember recently was TJD

I think the crystal balls were 75%+ for both, and then seemingly out of nowhere they announced for a different school. Miami has been named as a school in the Adidas scandal, so it would not be surprising if there was something shady there. For Waters I remember that everything had been trending for us, and then he took a visit to Georgetown and committed to them on the visit. He got out of his commitment after JT3 was fired, but we also fired Crean, so he ended up at LSU.

Bruce Brown was never a lock. 247 liked IU and said they led but rivals and espn and others had Miami as the leader. Waters was considered a favorite for a while but that all changed when waters took an unofficial to Georgetown before his announcement after that it was all Georgetown. Rabjohns and Snow warned and dropped hints to everybody on peegs months before he announced that UCLA was the team to beat

IU new that it was going to be tough to beat Vandy and duke when they jumped in. Once duke dropped out IU made their move. While the crystal ball started go IU’s way after the visit that slowly changed and Slater and other well known scouts changed back to the home team except Meyer. Some held out hope that Meyer knew something nobody else did but that was wrong and he changed his pick hours before

No one said we were locks???  I was just saying where we lead or supposedly lead for a recruit only to find out they go elsewhere on decision day.

Why is Wade so special? Did he coach in the NBA or something?

Just theorizing, but I would say his strong @$$ offers...greater than the league minimum...might have had something to do with it.

Interview with Christian on Peegs. He has a lot of all star games coming up but they are working on a time he can go up there. They are taking their time. 

Was this a new interview or the podcast interview? That podcast was recorded weeks ago

He feels the same way Cassius does about his impending decision

Hurt to Duke so one less obstacle for us

Evan Daniels just logged his crystal ball prediction for 5 star Precious Achiuwa to Memphis...the stars could be aligning folks

While possible he comes here it won’t be because lack of options LSU is in the mix still they are going to deny everything so the NCAA will do nothing the Watfords know that.

I figured the Watfords would not be very excited about once again making the drive to Bloomington, over and over, but was a bit suprised to see  that the drive to Baton Rouge is only a hour less than Bloomington (5 1/2 vs 6 1/2).
