2016 VJ King announcing today

[RoyKent]

Jeff Goodman ‏@GoodmanESPN
Hearing wing V.J. King (ESPN, No. 25) likely to make decision today at 1 p.m.. Will pick from Louisville, Kentucky and UConn.

 

[RR30]

Seems like it is going to be Louisville. They'll be getting a great player if so. Hope the Crystal Ball is wrong and he picks UK though.

 

[akaukswoosh]

Crystal ball and smart money say UL. A 5-star wing in latest espn rankings.

[jwheat]

Why a five star player would go to Louisville is beyond me. If they do manage to land this kid I expect him to be the next Jordan within 3 minutes

 

[jrpross_rivals]

He's a good player but there are a few guys I'd rather have than him at his spot.

 

[tmuck]

They'll be bragging about how they finally beat out Cal and UK for a recruit. That will probably be the first thread up on their board. We'll sign 2 or 3 players that are better than him. [laughing]

 

[Crankdatmustard_rivals66299]

Will be the typical 5 star recruit that picks Louisville. He will struggle to learns Ricks system

 

[RR30]

Pick is Louisville

Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein


Kentucky is not an option for 2016 SF V.J. King, sources told @CBSSports. Scholarship was never offered. Decision expected soon. #BBN

 

[wcc31]

Pitino keeps telling him he's the next Blackshear. Tough to combat that sell.

Last week, I picked an Applebee's waitress over Scarlett Johansson.

Haha. Didn't know we never actually offered him. Makes sense though. Between Monk, Langford, Bridges, and Isaac, I'm thinking we get 2 of them and that would leave him the odd man out.

 

[tmuck]

According to this site he didn't have an offer from any of the big boys including UK, KU, UNC, or Duke. Weird, considering he's a 5 star player. There must be something about his game those coaches don't like. If any of those schools turn up the heat, I bet he decommits, because UL leads the country in number of kids who decommit over the years. It seems like they have at least one every year.

 

[Monroe Claxton]

I am sure he will decommit if he gets a better offer. UL is where one and done become four and done and get drafted in the fourth round of the Slovinian Basketball D-League

 

[ArmyWildcat81]

"VJ KING is the next LeBron" - every Louisville fan

 

[GLR5555]

He's L1C4 for now......at least until he's not.

 

[tmuck]

24/7 Sports, ESPN, and Scout all have him with UK offers. Rothstein and Rivals say we haven't. Weird.

 

[jwheat]

What is the deal lately of recruits keeping us on the list although we never offer?

 

[tmuck]

I'm thinking we probably did offer. We need somebody to confirm this.

 

[Monroe Claxton]

If big boys don't offer he most likely not qualify and head to JUCO

 

[dmaso44]

He wasn't offered

 

[true-blue1]

He never developed into the player everyone thought he would be at a young age. Give Jonathon Isaac! The kid is going to be special.

If they include UK in the final list, they get a lot more pub. That's why.

 

[.S&C.]

Louisville fans now - "Finally a stud, NBA ready, 5star player that cares more about the school than the name on the back."



Louisville fans after next season - "I'm glad pitino is moving him out. He was overrated as a 5 star, and clearly isn't L1C4. He's been selfish since the day he arrived."



UK fans after he transfers to UAB - "why would any blue chip go to Louisville? Do these kids not learn?"



Rinse - repeat.

Seems like a nice player but that article is weird to me. I don't know if the author is writing it this way or if it was the kid but sounds like he is trying to convince himself or maybe pumping himself up? Maybe he thinks he is all that and a bowl of oats? Or the author is trying to pump him up??

 

[CharlestownCat]

I guess I'll be the lone one with class in this thread. Good pick up for them. Wish the kid the best (sometimes we need to remind ourselves these are 16-17 year olds, who don't owe us s--t.). We will be fine. Onto the next one.

 

[*Bleedingblue*]

U saying I wasn't classy? Lol

 

[bookerfan66]

No offense to the kid but he wasn't one of the recruits I was really hoping we get.There are better prospects.

Funny. I think that may have been the least classy post in the thread.

Nobody said he sucked. He's a legit 5* player. There are just a handful at his position that I'd take first and that we're doing pretty well with.

 

[BigBlueManSouthCentralKY]

The Courier Journal said it was between UL and UConn with Arizona, UK and Virginia trying.

Kind of hard to be classy while tooting one's own horn but you go right ahead.

 

[Owen68_rivals]

Surprised he'd go to UL after they got Henderson.

 

[BillyBones]

UK never offered him..:boxing:

 

[BillyD614]

One good thing will happen. He will get to play with Sosa,Siva and all the other louisville greats in 4 or 5 years out at Freedom (from rick) Hall

 

[BigBlueManSouthCentralKY]

Surprised he'd go to UL after they got Henderson.

Yeah, Henderson will probably end up playing more 3 and the way he shoots and defends will be hard for King to break through especially with super intense Adel being a sophomore and a true 3 also.

He will decommit from the Cards in 15 seconds flat if any of those schools decide they want him.

 

[NCukcat62]

WE didn't offer for the last time you peasant!!!!! But hey you seem like a Louisville fan. Jesus!

 

[devilpuppet]

He never visited Kentucky. Obvious to me that he was only offered in his own mind.
