Who Does Stokes Picks Today at 6:30?

[TheApostleSaulSmith]

I do not have the time or energy to deal with drama queens, and Stokes is both.

both what?

 

[MachineHead]

I think he will pick Kentucky. But in saying that, this board should absolutely not melt down if he picks someone else. I actually think it’s better if we don’t get him and use a good amount of money on a couple other good players.

It’s not about fit. Maybe he’d be a good fit, maybe he wouldn’t. It’s about perception. Pope is being laughed at nationally. If Stokes chooses Kansas, Pope will have just whiffed again, this time with Shaq (whose daughter committed here) and Barkley looking on. Hard to recover from whiffing on the NBA pregame show that most watch.

Who is that?

I posted a screenshot before realizing it came from a paid board. Someone talked to an agent. He’s going to Kansas and I am “not mad” but “very sad.”

 

[BookofMormon]

Wouldn’t be surprised about Oregon - seems like something this kid would do - BUT there is not the national TV coverage. U stayin up past midnight on weekends if you have an early job to watch him play nobodies? Love if he picked us. Haven’t had much to cheer about in years. Sure would be nice to get excited about UK basketball again.

Oregon has a better chance than UK. There is no way, if no other big games want to come, that he's coming. He probably had to look up every teammate or than Moreno.

So I got really excited for a sec. Lots of reports of Mo being in atlanta today. That's gotta be good right? Then KSR ran a story about him recruiting a 2027 kid today..............who lives in georgia. FML

Ford?

Liked him as a player.

He wad a massive a-hole to me in 1993 when I was 12 and I never forgot it. Had a friend who worked in media relations at EKU when Ford was coaching them and my friend said dude was a raging prick on any interaction.

Ford is definitely like that.

Seriously? It will be a trashy episode of Jerry Springer.

It was a question I already knew the answer of us. It would be worse than Jerry Springer.

I mean, if we don't get Stokes, its a national primetime whiff aired live on espn

 

[Hitman206]

If Stokes goes to KU, please tell me that UK puts out a Morton Boom after, that would be so poetic.

I remember in 2008 when top 15 high school player JaMychal Green dropped UK from his list of 10 schools, and Marc Maggard immediately announced that Rotnei Clarke was going to visit for Midnight Madness. Didn't make me feel better.

 

[UKBB4Ever]

i’m just glad it will be over in Pope can use that money towards another recruit.

Pope doesn’t have a money issue.

He can pay whatever he wants for Stokes and anyone else.

 

[Farsight Clone]

 

[Drogon]

Ive believed he's coming here for a long time. That means he's Kansas bound.

 

[exo6desmo]

Heard it's Kentucky.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

Heard it's Kentucky.

If it is, I’ll just come to you for info moving forward. Now, just to be 100% clear, I do not trust you yet; but will soon if TS picks Kentucky. You good with that?

 

[Broker]

Kansas is irrelevant and their coach is washed up. Plus you would have to live in Kansas. I'm not sure what the draw is there. Plus they aren't a Nike school.

They have great quail & deer hunting.

 

[AllBall]

Oregon is out according to Rothenstein.

 

[anot]

My original pick from months ago was Kansas, but the more Stokes kept trolling both UK and KU fans, programs etc., and never did troll Oregon during that time, my pick recently switched to Oregon, but in Norlander’s post, he didn’t mention Oregon so,

I’m still sticking with Oregon, unless they are out, in which case, I’m going with KU. I just don’t see a world where a top tier star player puts their brand in the hands of a guy that has never had a history of developing such players, were Bill Self can point to a whole list of players as a reference.

Agreed. Only way I think is if Tyran knows he so good he's not worried about a coach ruining his brand.

 

[LowerLevel]

If we get stokes, how much did we pay?

 

[BlueVelvetFog]

Michigan

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

If we get stokes, how much did we pay?

32 billion is what i heard we offered. Can’t verify yet, working on source…

 

[MaysviileKY]

He will probably pick Duke!

 

[exo6desmo]

If it is, I’ll just come to you for info moving forward. Now, just to be 100% clear, I do not trust you yet; but will soon if TS picks Kentucky. You good with that?

Absolutely lol. You trusted me in other names I've had. I did get good info on Wright going back to BYU. But this is from someone else. They've been correct on things before. We'll see in a bit. This particular kid, I swear, I wouldn't put it past him to pick a random school just to screw with everyone. He's mental. I actually hope he goes elsewhere, as much as we could use the talent I'm not sure it's worth it.

 

[Beatle Bum]

How long after 6:30 before he makes his announcements? 6:45? 7:00?

 

[MidseasonTweak]

I am throwing my whole weight behind Williams' accidental public congratulatory post.

 

[AllBall]

When it occurs blame Nike as well.

 

[UKfan2151]

I think he will surprise everyone and pick Kentucky.

 

[PopesCrewCut]

I think he will surprise everyone and pick Kentucky.

That's the way that kid rolls. It's always been Uk. No prepare for these idiots to start saying 40-0. Expectations will be completely out of kilter
