Hopefully Jayden can convince his brother to graduate early and come play one yr with him here. Just wishful thinking cuz he looked awfully good in Maui. Probably headed to the league next yr
Jaylen would have been drafted had he stayed in the draft last year. Very likely he goes this summer.

But, like you, I would happily take the McDaniels brothers on next years team.

Same thought I had. Felt it started as a pretty positive thread which was good to see for a change. Then some negative Nancy's have to drop in, one in particular. Don't get how some fans can always be so negative, I'd hate that sort of outlook on life.
Me either! I come here for a break from everyday life and read what others think and discuss basketball but all the negative talk has been a real bummer

I can state one thing with no reservations. Cal is NOT desperate in any way shape or form. Anything else you state may or may not be true but that is a definite crock....
Desperate no, but I think frustrated. His recent comments on not being a good recruiter, wanting to be able to sleep at night, etc make me think so.

A six foot-nine inch, 185 lb. PF ?? those are almost Perry Stevenson specs.

Reading the tea leaves on this one, I'd venture to guess this means Cal would like for him to play for us next year and thinks he is a pretty good player. Hopefully I'm right on this.
Now you're just being ridiculous.

I've never seen Cal talk down on himself and recruiting either....... so him feeling desperate to get a top 5 player might just of made him hurry up and offer ..

Desperate? Wow. Do you really think he offered Daniels because he needed a top five recruit to quiet down the whiners on this board? Whats wrong with you? I think Cal has proven that he has a planned out process for recruiting each year.

Cal likes to offer in person, but he's also been to Washington a half dozen times recently and we've had a McDaniels thread every time.

I still think there was something that had to get cleared up or squared away about this recruitment, and we'll never know what that is, most likely.

But an offer now feels like good news. Waiting this late, if we weren't in the picture, an offer would just never come. No need to beg or look desperate publicly for a kid you can't get. So if we're offering, we must be a real player.

Maybe we were selling Wiseman on being a 4 here (recruiting he and Carey, etc) and once that ship sailed, that spot opened up for McDaniels.

Or maybe Cal just knew he could afford to wait. We've done that before too.

With all of the misses, how could they believe they could wait

I really hope he comes to Kentucky, but after all the other recruits we have lost out on, I am going to hold my breath and try not to get excited until the kid signs on the dotted line and suits up for us. Kids can be so fickle.

GO CATS!!!

Very fair take on your part. I've been doing that for awhile now and not getting overly worked up about any recruit. Sure, I've been disappointed but I'm just not hanging on in hopes of recruits picking us as much any more and just waiting until the process is over. No sense in getting bummed early about a class until it all shakes out.

Really? So you know how to recruit better than Cal does? You’re right and Cal’s wrong? Are you friggin kidding me? Some of you fans are total idiots.

Seeing how I said we should stop recruiting wiseman and start recruiting this kid back over the summer...... I’d say this is one thing I got right long before cal did

He offered this kid after all the other top bigs are saying no.... so it’s pretty obvious this kid was plan B if not C
