Huh (again). So their crystal ball projection for Hampton to UK is also 100%, even though Hampton already committed to UK...
Kinda sh*ts on your crystal ball theory, doesn't it, Tarheel?

That's what I never got, the facts say that UK was the first to allow African Americans to play, UK FB has a statue out front hororing the feat. Rupp wanted to play African Americans and they wouldn't let him so how's that his issue. Slavery was rampant all across the south. I can imagine it wasn't any better in Mississippi, Alabama or any of those places, but let's single out Kentucky for some reason.
I honestly can't figure out if you're trolling or you just don't understand how this works?
You see how next to Hampton it just has a UK graphic when you click the link below? That means he's committed to UK.

You see how next to Knueppel it has a 100% under the dook graphic when you click the link below? That means it's just a crystal ball prediction.

If you still can't understand it, type the words "is Kager Knueppel committed?" into a Google search. The results will tell you that he is not committed.
People worry too much about rankings.
We dont even know if hes gonna be here next season as pope may not be coach n 2027-2028.
He's still a good player on paper at 12th vs 6th or whatever he was. But im not gonna worry about it.

And rankings are super hit and miss under the current "experts." Dave Telep, Josh Gerson, and Evan Daniels aren't doing the rankings anymore. They all moved on to better jobs. If you're good at analyzing young players, you don't have to work very long at these recruiting sites.
That used to happen for UK commits…..No, no conspiracy at all.....not even this +94 spot jump for a recent Duke commit (click image to expand)....

For the record, no other player in the 150 ranking had a jump of that much.
I pretty much admitted I didn't look that hard and frankly don't care. But thanks for all your hard work.
I’m with you. I thought it was funny either way. A Duke golden boy gets a big jump while a UK recruit drops immediately after committing. Even if not entirely true, there’s at least a smidgeon of truth there.I pretty much admitted I didn't look that hard and frankly don't care. But thanks for all your hard work.
Dukie V, etc were salivating at the thought of our total collapse.
UK basketball was here before Pukie V, during Pukie V and will be here after Pukie V.

It’s because he’s really struggling shooting the ball. Hampton looks like a typical Calipari recruit, as of right now.
It was trying to play his system with no PG, no cutters & no shooting & it eventually became ball screen & take your man off the dribble.
Can't remember his name, white dude but I think that was his coming out party, he turned out to be a decent player after that.
When something repeatedly occurs, it goes beyond the limits of coincidence. And we've seen this happen as often as the weather changes.
I think most of his shooting issues stem from his shot selection. That said, we all know if Hampton had commited to Duke or UNC he would have had no drop. I can't remember a single Duke recruit that ever dropped in the rankings.
The 60's were tough years in the south, the Civil Rights movement started & people got uncomfortable, Rupp had a difficult time recruiting because of having to play games down there. Several states had laws preventing teams from playing integrated teams. The teams in the SEC already hated Kentucky for beating their asses with white players, now, imagine the hate that would come from beating them with a black player. The KKK down there was a real thing, those nut jobs were blowing up black churches, killing children, sick *******. This is the kind of **** Rupp had to deal with, where would a black player stay or eat at? I met a guy years ago that said he was the nephew of Oscar Robertson, idk if he is or isn't but this is what he told me. Oscar begged Rupp to play at Kentucky, told him that he would win him 2 Natl Championships, Rupp told him that he would love to be able to take him but couldn't guarantee his safety down south. With all of the crap going on down there during that time, the story adds up at least.
You are the only person who doesn't know he's Duke bound. I'll bet you $20000 that he commits to Duke.
Ian Schieffelin and yeah he was solid. Just one of those guys who never stopped working hard during a game. He went all out.
I never said anything about where he will end up. I said he is not currently committed anywhere.
I think it got started with the Texas Western game. All White vs All black. The media even back then turned it racial. Funny thing is we beat Duke to get to that game. If Duke had won, would they have become the racist school? I bet not.
