Zion changing announcement time
- Thread starter UK2KJAG
- Start date
So long as I don’t hear “Zion” mentioned in the same sentence as “Duke” tomorrow, I don’t give a crap who he picks at this point.
This is coming in the second TV timeout. ESPN is doing a special break away. The big screens at RUPP will tune in and everyone will cheer! Then it will be the talk of the Game Day crew at the half, yada yada, yada...
These are Zion quotes from the past week.
“I don’t really feel pressure with that,” Williamson said. ” I can’t just go to a school to be a local hero, I have to go to the school that is best for me. If I don’t go to an in-state school, if they are real supporters, they will support me wherever I go.”
“I don’t think it’ll be tough because in the end this is a business and those schools are recruiting me to help their program,” Williamson said.
"I have to do what's best for me and my future" He added.
You can pick a quote or two and make an argument either way, you have to take them in context and as a whole to see the bigger picture. I have no idea where he goes, but to keep digging up quotes just to bring negativity to the board seems strange.
If you think I'm a terrible poster that is fine, I'd venture to guess many other people have a different opinion than you. I won't lose sleep at night over it.
You are one naughty galAlways. [laughing][laughing][laughing]
If he picks Duke, I’ll wish ill will on their entire team, starting with K. I’ll hope K ends up having the world’s worst case of irritable bowel syndrome and that it gets so bad that it affects his back while he’s taking a crap, causing unending spasms, knocking him out of the Duke seat for good.
I’ll then hope Capel gets sued by Crispy Cream for fornicating publically with a glazed donut in their establishment; I'll also hope Reddish ends up ineligible after being involved in a Columbian drug ring; also that Barrett decides he’d rather join the Canadian cast of Hamilton rather than be a basketball player; and that Zion will truly shock the world by becoming Mormon and going on a yearlong mission where he’ll end up staying in Ecuador, marrying four village women, and fathering nine children and name all of them “Clemson.”
They’d have the top 3 picks in the ’19 draft, so I’d wish all sorts of ill will on their basketball prospects - just short of death and serious injury.
Yeah you are terrible Bc you just quoted him 3x and none of it would indicate UK. It could apply to Duke to KU to uNCheat etc. You don’t know what’s best “business” decision for him. Maybe it’s to go to an adidas school.
Btw I didn’t pick quotes that was the most recent article on espn. Show me a quote where zion says “uk is my lean”. You won’t Bc there is none. Like I said your agenda is to fight. I don’t know if you think he’s headed to uk or not. You just pick a fight for he sake of fighting. Just like diallo. You tried to defend the indefensible and since then he’s been 3-12 from the field in two games. Just stop!
Some UK predictions coming in last minute:

I never said my quotes said he was going to UK. What you said is:
"HES not going to Kentucky. He says that certain teams have been favored to get him but there has never been a favorite. I’m trying to think of where this zion to uk buzz really came from in the past to be honest other than Matt jones baloney. And honestly MJ may be the biggest liability in the fan base Bc he spouts a bunch of positive recruiting info that turns out to be bunk. He gets hopes up and becomes a major letdown. He sunshine pumped this class and it looks like it will be good but not great. The man needs to just shut up when it comes to recruiting"
Show me a quote were Zion says anything about any team being his "Lean" he hasn't.
So you claim to know he isn't coming to UK. I'm simply stating I have no idea, but I can find quotes with the opposing view points to yours. Quotes can mean whatever you interpret them to mean. I can't remember a post you have made with any subject matter recently that wasn't negative toward Cal, recruiting, players on the team, or another poster. I'm not here to argue on a message board, just tired of the constant relentless negativity and pessimism. What's the point?
Ok dude you’re right you’re the almighty. Glad I have an ignore switch to shut your garbage down. Hasta Luego
Sorry I "triggered" you. Gets old seeing you bash players, coaches and basically everything about a team you are supposedly a fan for.
Who have I bashed? What did I say negative in this thread about our program? Outside of diallo who else have I had harsh words for??
WHAT I said someone else should be taking diallo minutes?? I haven’t called him names just point out the obvious. If anyone is triggered its you over diallo and then over me saying that zw is coming.
Off the top of my head:
Cal should have recruited more guards atleast 6 he limited himself
Either players change mentality or cal gains control
Cal didn’t play Vanderbilt enough
Doom and gloom about us losing every away game etc etc
Cal plays stall ball and cost us the game
7 or 8 seed is best we get
Constantly pumping Zion as the best ever league of his own yet claiming no chance UK gets him
Our team is embarrassing etc
I get being upset at losing games and things. Just seems like you are always bashing Cal, our team and the refs. I hate the refs sometimes too so I get that. Just don’t get posting 90% negatives. Different strokes for different folks I guess. I’m just ready to kick some gator tail tomorrow.
Of all of the zion quotes this one bodes best for a school other than an in state. At the same time though clemson is doing very well at an inopportune time and could be viewed as a good “business decision”. We just don’t have much coming directly from zion to indicate uK has ever been the leader. Maybe the best business decision is to stick to an adidas school in his mind. Idk. I hope like hell we get him but I am coming to the realization that the positive buzz about this class has been pumped by Matt Jones and he has been wrong wrong wrong and admits now he was wrong for several months about zion.
Btw I hope MJ is wrong again about zion
Man I don’t want to stay sober. I’m good with whatever this 18 year old does. As long as we got Cal I want worry.
Dude you just nailed his ***. You are now my favorite poster. Damn your good
I am not going to quite watching the game just to see who he is picking. It's UK or nothing.
Swear to god... Wiseman better not let us down. I'll moon him on his way to school every day if he picks memphis.
Tubby wouldn't walk across the street to recruit him. Tubby don't play that...
@Wildcats1st why did you delete the post of the year you made in reply to me?
BTW Mr. High and mighty “ I coach at a 5a level and college etc” I played Division 1 athletics and have coached at the 3a and 4a level. As well as travel teams. So get off your high horse. There’s a difference in posting analysis and being negative about everything.

Btw cal should have more than 4 guards on the roster if 13. And yes cal needs to assert control of his team. You have no idea what it takes to run a major program. I’ve run 2 different 5A programs in a sport other than basketball and one at collegiate level. I know how it works buddy. You don’t become head coach at. 5A and collegiate programs without knowing what it takes and it’s sickening the lengths that fans like you go to to try and protect someone who would likely agree with me. If I sat down with cal and talked sports in general we will agree far more than you and I.
BTw I am an assistant coach with a nationalsoccer team (fútbol) getting ready to play on the biggest stage of any sport this summer. You don’t have a clue what it’s like to analyze through the eyes of a
Coach. You think you are the protector of diallo? He wouldn’t give you the time of day probably laugh at you and talk about you as you walked away. I see reality bub. I cant look at this program I grew up a fan of any other way now after 20 years of developing, recruiting, analysis. I do this crap for a living so it spills into the areas of being a fan. Wish I could just sit back and watch a game and not notice all the nuance but I can’t but it’s not gonna stop me from posting here when I have time”

Ocornett, you think all that was negativity? It doesn’t seem creeperish that he has that stuff handy to go after me with?? Honestly I think it’s a big problem Bc where UK fans struggle the most with us eating their own. You think 4 guards is enough? You think cal has asserted enough control on this group even though he basically says he has not? You think losing a 14 pt lead and the game isn’t a problem? You think we are better than a 7 seed right now??? All that is honesty not negativity. I’m not calling people names, not denegrating them personally but this poster follows me and in a way stalks. You think that’s ok??
its them ditching tubby and hiring penny that makes me worry.........
I'm just going on the premise that he's not coming. If he picks another school I won't be shocked and he picks UK I'll be pleasantly surprised.
Yeah, I knew where you were aimed at but my optomistic outlook caused me to try interjecting a little possible sunshine on the situation...
Well Tubby has won 4 games in a row!!! So lets cheer him on to where memphis cant fire him!
But @FrankUnderwood im a terrible poster. He said so.Roastedimp:[laughing]
Should I block you? You'd know if I should or not. Of course once I block you if I get your blessing I could ask Frank, uh, but then I'd have to ask Frank if I should block him. Uh, if not Frank I'd have to ask Morblocksky....geez.....maybe I should ban myself like KWilt....aw, forget it....Jedwar, go ahead and ban me now, it got too complicated.....
I know fan perspective when I see it. You probably were cut from JV football. There is nothing that comes across from you as haven played or analyzed any sport at a high level. BTW I played for the University you so mightily drill me about. See ya and your harum of posers
