That's his account, but you can't click to see who he follows. On the app though, it shows that True Blue Customs was the last account he followed.
I've never seen more hype surrounding a kid who has about as much upside as Daniel Orton.
You'd think this kid was Wiggins by the way we've been slurping up every ounce of recruiting info.

I honestly think SOME of the hype around the recruitment is because he's the only guy UK is really recruiting in the spring. For the first time, they rapped up all of the guys they wanted in the fall. It's like we miss the excitement of recruiting. Since they're really only going after this 1 last guy, we put all of our thought into this recruitment lol.
Didn't the guy who posted the shoe rumor a few days ago mention a buddy from Kentucky making Bolden Duke shoes?
I think he's got a little more upside than Orton. But yeah, the obsession over his recruitment has as much to do with timing as it does talent. He's the only big question left and we want to know the answer NOW.
Yeah somebody did. That's why it's weird though because some guy on here said Duke shoes and some guy on Twitter said Kentucky shoes. WE NEED ANSWERS.

It was more of a response to caneintally and his worship for zlab.
Bingo.
The hype does not match the talent. He's good, but both schools will be fine either way.
I'll take all the depth we can get down low after this past year..
The issue is in the details.
He is the difference in UK playing Bam at the 4, or at the 5.
He's the difference in UK adding much needed depth to our front court.
He's the difference in Duke adding yet another stud into their arsenal.
He could very well be the difference in a championship, even if he's just another D Johnson.
Make no mistake, this is a big recruit. UK fans are starting to sour over nothing more than the majority thinks he's gone.
We will be screaming for a player like him when we need it during the season.
Uk is not as strong as 60% of this board thinks for next season.
Look through the IG pictures on that account. There's a pair of Jordans with the Duke Blue Devil. Uploaded on 3/25.
And we know he'd definitely give more than 6 and 6 Lee gave last year?
And we know Humphires and SKJ won't be ready to contribute anything outside of Lee and Bam?
And we know that a big lineup is better than a lineup that features Fox, Monk, Briscoe, Gabriel, and Bam?
I want Bolden, but I'm not sold that he's difference. I'd rather have Briscoe back. Obviously I'd take them both.
I think, for many of our fans, it has more to do with hurting Duke than it does actually helping UK at this point.
The Duke fear on this board the last two years has been nauseating. You'd think Coach K was a 45 year old coach and not a 69 year old in the last lap of his career. K won't be keeping the ship sailing forever.

Idk why anybody would ever want a recruit in order to hurt another team more than to help your own team. I'd say ur in the minority there
That same pic of the Duke Jordans were uploaded 4 weeks earlier for the same account. so they could of just been a repost of a previous picture they they posted once duke was bounced out of the tournament around 3/25. Also those Jordan model don't seem like a shoe like Bolden would wear in a basketball game. Those are not known to be a good ball shoe.
This is hilarious.
And I'm just as guilty as everyone else here of worrying about the potential shoe choice of a teenager from Texas.

Let's just add on to the theories...
2 weeks ago on the True Blue Customs account, they uploaded a picture of the pair of shoes Ulis wore versus IU with the caption, "I know I already posted a pair of these..but have since done a few more..this particular pair features both new UK logos..keep your eyes peeled for more of these :eyes:."
This could mean you'll probably see some other people with these shoes, ooorrrrrrrrr... It could mean watch for a certain recruit to wear them on a big stage lol.
I'm bored guys.

Reading this thread, i can't help but think the same thing i thought that time Robocop saved Sting from the 4 Horsemen...
Is this real?

Oh, come on. You know where it's coming from. It's from the $750,000 that Cal and UK are giving him. Everyone knows that. Geez!
If this does somehow come to be true and he is wearing a pair of custom shoes, Puke or UK, I will literally never know what is true or untrue on this board ever again. I will take every single bit of info posted and think......"Well, that may be true I guess. After all, the custom shoe thing was true. So, I guess this could be true too".
I wont ever again be able to take any info as complete BS. I'll always think that there may be a chance it's true. But then again, this is probably BS. I sure as hell hope so cause I don't want to live that way. I spend too much time on here to live like that.

I'm guessing that Bolden is using shoes instead of hats....thus explaining why there are rumors of Dook & UK shoes being ordered.
How do you figure that? Duke has more letters in it, so it stands to reason that it would take more material to spell it out on a shoe. The left shoe, the Duke shoe, will have to be heavier.
Simple physics, man.
BS. Many of us have been saying this for months. And I like Bam at the 5 better than at the 4.
