Green is going to Cuse & has known for a while.....don't fall for the last minute buzz he's trying to build. Just using UK for attention.
Agreed. We already have two studs in PJ and Nick but we also need much more. Knox is almost a must get unless we land Diallo. I don't know of any shooting guards we are recruiting that can step in and fill the void. Granted Knox isn't a 2 guard but Cal could make it work. However, if we don't get these main recruits our class is going to be somewhat unbalanced. We are going to need scoring next year.I’d take Knox any way we could get him. Let him play the 2, the 3, the 4; so long as he’s here.
Does UK need a legit small forward to win a national title? No, but it should be noted that the ’96 and ’12 teams both featured a future top 6 draft pick at the small forward position. Knox’s skillset is unique. I think he will end up being one of the top 3 players in this class when it’s all said and done.
Also, it would be great to get the small forward thing off UK’s back. Having guys you can point to at particular positions is a powerful tool on the recruiting trail. UK is lacking at the small forward position in recent years, and it would be great to change the trend.
You have no clue. You are repeating what other negative nancies have said. Good God.!!!!!!!Green is going to Cuse & has known for a while.....don't fall for the last minute buzz he's trying to build. Just using UK for attention.

Well I certainly have no clue either. But it seems like he was never conflicted before .. so now all of a sudden he's conflicted and travels to watch UK to get clarity???? Not buying that for a minute. Nobody asked him why he was at the game, after all it was MSG with 4 great programs playing. HIS COACH explains why he was at the game. WHY????
Andrew Slater said on Cats Pause last week that it was done for Cuse.
All this last minute stuff is purely to build hype and try to sucker in the biggest fan base in college to use as an audience for his moment.
These kids and their handlers no we help market them like no other.
Well, some other pretty good recruiting expert who can be a bit bossy believes it's UK.
Guess it depends on if you're glass half empty/full on who to believe.
@Ron Mehico I keep hearing he's in the mold of Ulis. A true Point Guard, where as Young is a score-first point guard.
Personally, I'd rather have the facilitator. And if Green wants to commit to us early, you take him. Green also may bring recruits with him, where as that's not the case with Young.
Honestly.. Give me Green all day. I'd rather get him than Young as of right now.
It doesn't take Nostradamus to figure this one out - he went to MSG feeling 5/95 about UK/Cuse. He left after watching UK dismantle a good MSU team while not playing our best ball. He goes to bed and wakes up ready to make a decision. If it's Syracuse then he must hate seeing a team play so well.

We will not sign both Green and Young. Both are lead guards who can start from day #1 for ranked programs. You are confusing our need for guards with what is best for the kid from his point of view. Just 1 of those 2 is all I hope for. The other names on your list are doable.We'll see.
Wouldn't be mad about a class of
Green
Young
Alexander
Washington
Richards
Vanderbilt
Bamba
Plus maybe a grad transfer or JUCO wing. Or there's time for Cal to get involved with someone else. Alexander showed us there's kids out there just waiting for the opportunity.
This class is a long way from finished. Green would be an important step toward solidifying our backcourt, but I'll believe it when I see it.
I wasn't getting them up until he went to our friggin game. I was all resigned to the fact that he wasn't coming. Everybody was all "if he was going to UK he wouldn't have gone to a Syracuse game!" Then he up and went to a Kentucky game and makes me think "well the Syracuse game was nothing then!"He took both an official and unofficial visit to Syracuse after his official to UK more than a month ago. The unofficial to Syracuse was just last week. Don't get your hopes up, people.

What it comes down to is that no one on this board has a clue where Green is going. We will all have to wait until Sat. to fine out.

If that's the case, I feel sorry for the kid. I think he picks Kentucky myself..[/QUOTE]
Hope you are right.
Those guys on Syracusefan site are cracking me up. In the last two posts I read one guy claims Nerlens flipped to UK from Georgetown literally 2 hours before his announcement. Nevermind that he went to the barber shop the morning of his announcement to get UK cut into the back of his hair.
The last guy say he "knows for a fact" that UK/boosters pay players. Well if he "knows for a fact" the he obviously has proof, why hasn't he informed the NCAA of this blatant violation? Grasping at straws....
We'd probably be pissed too if we only had one title in 117 years. :flush: [laughing]

Lol "the pick" along with the girl behind him playing itsy bitsy spider is cracking me up![]()
He can but he isn't Booker by any stretch of the imagination . More like Aaron Harrison in that he will have games where he goes 3-4 from 3 and then games where he goes 0-5 .Alexander can't shoot. Not playing a Booker role.
agreed
i highly doubt that his LOI was signed before Cal invited him to the game, that would be a violation
he may have given a verbal on his visit to Cuse, then again he may have not
we should know Saturday, so let's all just sit back enjoy our beautiful weather we are having

EDIT:
Now there's a guy claiming UK paid "the young lady" Katina Powell to come forward and get Louisville into trouble. This is comedy gold!

I hope your right and he surprises me with his outside shooting. Im just skeptical based on shot mechanics and scouting reports.He can but he isn't Booker by any stretch of the imagination . More like Aaron Harrison in that he will have games where he goes 3-4 from 3 and then games where he goes 0-5 .
Alexander can't shoot. Not playing a Booker role.
I have no idea if true or not but that's funny. [roll]Plus Diallio's shooting makes Archie Goodwin look like Steph Curry .
You're the he first one to tell me that then because everyone else on here has said he's an excellent shooter. We all know you can never have too many shooters. I'm not saying he can shooter like booker only that he could play a role similar to bookerAlexander can't shoot. Not playing a Booker role.
