Juzang has committed
- Thread starter Rupp'sRunt
- Start date
I appreciate the info bro..a lot of folks around here like to "shoot the messenger"
Likely to be a two year player, his potential is off the charts. He does all the things well that NBA scouts fall in love with. For the poster that said RJ Hampton is the best player in this class, you need to learn scout better. Their is several players in the class better, just have never been a fan of RJ Hampton's game..
Work for a big time lawyer in Corbin, he is close to the program, donates, helps with drives and things like that. He tells me things from time to time as he hears it, how i knew about Juzang and Khalil Whitney..
What do you mean? I did post about them months ago, everyone was still assuming that Juzang was UCLA bound. Tried to post that he was over UCLA once Alford was fired and they could not score Cal, Bennet, or Beard and had to settle for a coach like Cronin, writing was on the wall, UCLA knew their recruiting was done for big time talent.
I think Allen will be able to go come this fall. He's progressing well.
You are definitely one of the few I trust with inside info, that said when is this announcement supposed to go down? Also, what’s it looking like with blackshear. No way in hell Richards gets drafted, and ej has a slim to none chance as well even with the couple of games he played ok in. Either would be lucky to be one of the last 2 picks drafted and that automatically puts them in the gleague, cause neither are even close to nba ready
Why are people comparing to Baker?
I mean Baker might be a good player but he really didn’t contribute a whole lot.
I would hope this guy is a massive upgrade

He shoots 44% from 3. I guess the only other comparison is ther are black and from the west coast. Baker was in the high 89s at best and is only6’4, while Johnny is 6’7 and can play the 2/3 positions, something we have desperately needed.
Because:
-we lost Baker to transfer
-they're similar in size
-they have a comparable style of play
-it appears as though JJ is stepping into the void left by Baker
-all the other positions are filled
-both players are Light skinned (stated already)
-both players are from the left coast (stated already)
-three point shooting appears to be the primary offensive weapon for both players
-both are/were in backup roles
-some are hoping JJ will be a better Jermarl Baker
I think that covers it.
I don't care how advanced medical and science get, no kid is normal after just a year of busting their knee internally like that.. Just look at Alex Poythress..

Today at 4:30 PST is what the article said. That makes it 8:30 here I believe.
Him just announcing his reclass. He may take the visits as a formality. Pretty sure that 730 EST

It’s because he has turned into a complete contrarian/insufferable douche canoe the last few years. Nearly every post I see of his is correcting someone or disagreeing with them.
I don’t know why anyone gives someone crap for posting info. It does nothing but deter others from ever posting info here again.
Indeed. I come here for information and see no sense in bashing someone who may know something.
Not everyone heals the same. Some heal quicker than other. I have always healed faster than other people. God made everyone different.
Allen won’t be completely healthy/his normal self, for a good year. He will be good enough to play sooner but you don’t get your full range, power etc for awhile because after you heal you have to strengthen the muscles around the injury as well as get back to the shape that you were in before the injury
I won't disagree with strengthen the muscles but I still say everyone is different even in getting the muscles stronger. Some people just have better DNA.
There are tons of athletes who come back to their normal play level within a year of their ACL injury. Not saying Dontaie will but its very possible.
The phrase “Douche canoe” never gets old. A timeless classic.
You have a good point with Baker, I liked him a lot and really thought he would get much better. His defense did but his shot abandoned him. If he had shot that high thirties 3 point shooting late in the season and tournament he could have been the shooter we needed next year.
Regardless of how fast Allen heals, he won’t be a contributor till his sophomore yr anyways, because there won’t be enough mins if jj does commit and reclassify. I think Allen will be damn good, but it will take him a while to heal as well as being a contributor to the college game
Just confirmed with somone close to the situation: Johnny is only announcing his intent to reclassify today and a short list of schools. There is a strong beleif that he will announce his decision shortly after the visit Monday.
I cannot confirm or deny whether he gave the coaches a verbal or not.

Dang!! Im missed all the excitement. Get off work, and here is this 8 page beauty . let me know if i can help Runt, i have a particular set of skills if ya know what i mean?
So you are saying he has firmly committed to Kentucky, but will visit other schools? That sounds dishonest and not in keeping with what I read about this kid and his family. If he is taking other visits I'm pretty sure he isn't a firm commit to Kentucky - a strong lean at best.

I think he announces his reclassification today, and a final 3 of Kentucky, Villanova and Virginia.
Hard to get going when you're only getting foul minutes. Interestingly enough, Baker started to get going in early March. All his shooting numbers rose, and his 3pointer was back on track.
He was one of those guys that was just never going to get the minutes. Maybe.. MAYBE in his senior year...But it's a catch 22. Baker never got minutes to get better, and if he never gets better, he won't get minutes.
You can't convince me he played any worse than Hagans did in Feb/March. And a bad shooting slump doesn't count.
