Why keep it quiet? Oh because as usual ur resident insider says **** like this all the time then when it doesn't happen then the bag of cash at the last minute rumors start

I went to a Kansas message board once. That is exactly what was happening.

I think it's as much about having your own day as it is changing your mind based on someone else. If Keldon Johnson commits on the same day as the top ranked player in the class, his announcement gets buried.

Yes that makes total sense as far as Johnson picking another day from Barrett. However, the fact he's doing it the day AFTER is what makes people think he's waiting on Barrett because if he didn't care, why not do it beforehand. Personally, I think they both can work in the same system with one being the 2, the other being the 3 or something. We essentially play 4 wings and 1 big so I don't see that being what Johnson is waiting on. As others said, I'd wager it's Grimes. I think the fact he's doing it after Barrett is coincidental and if we get Barrett, we get KJ too.

As most are aware, RJ Barrett is set to make an announcement on his college decision Friday. The following day Keldon Johnson is scheduled to make his decision.
Reading the tea leaves, do you think this was orchestrated by Cal to help alleviate losing Barrett to Duke? Or is this simply a coincidence, and UK still has a shot at landing Barrett?

Not at all. I am not sure most are aware of this but I have read several stories on Johnson saying he could very well end up being top 5 or so in this class when the final rankings come out. He has that much potential. Keldon Johnson will take a back seat to nobody talent wise for a 6'6 high school guard/SF....Barrett would be the only one

Barrett I don't know but look out for Oregon, yes Oregon! Me personally, I prefer Keldon Johnson! Not a slasher like Barrett but shoots it much better and has improved so much over the summer and he's listed at 6'6". This is my opinion only. I feel like Barrett will be Oregon or Puke. The bottom line is no one knows until he announces.

Zion Williamson I thought he would announce during the early signing period but then again who knows! I think Tyler Herro will fall in love with UK this weekend. Commit and sign early next week. IMHO :basketball:

Wow that would make you essentially alone on the planet taking Barret over Jounson. Barrett would Johnson alive on the court and be ready for 3 more. Ask Cal himself or read the 8 assessments on Sea of Blue yesterday or I don’t know, watch some clips. Johnson’s good but Barret is a star. Most agree Zion is a distinct second to Barret

If Johnson commits, does that mean grimes is not an option anymore? Can we get both if Barrett goes elsewhere?

Glad to hear your opinion. Zion is an exceptional athlete who would thrive under coach Cal. I know enough to believe Barrett goes else wear. Johnson will be a good pick up. Throw in Herro , good start.
