Blackshear Update
- Thread starter IndyCat1995
- Start date
He works part-time for the UL and the Arkansas rivals websites. Pretty crazy that this kid is just now finishing high school. Will be a freshman at UL next year. Seems to be pretty damn good at what he's doing
Travis wasn't going first round no matter where he went. He's a below the rim bull that can't shoot. Kerry Blackshear can shoot and he is an above the rim athlete. He just needs to develop better defensive principals and a mid-range game.
He's much closer to a PJ Washington than a Reid Travis.
Is there a door cam we can watch or a tail number we can track?
Twitter machine thinks he gets in late tonight. If he pulls the trigger on his visit, I'd think an announcement tomorrow is in order
We might be on commitment watch people! Could go late tonight or tomorrow. Come win a national championship KB!

So we could have a bench that consists of Richards, Sestina, Brooks, Juzang, Allen, and Quickley?
In other words, a bench that would finish top 5 in the SEC and make the tournament?
Yeah, if we land Kerry, this next squad will be very satisfying to watch.

I’ve never heard of the guy so it’s at the very least, suspect. But I always love good news so i definitely want to believe it!
he'd be in the NBA by now if he was anything close to PJ as an NBA prospect lol
also, its principles*

All schools feel good about their chances after a visit, UK has missed out on more recruits they felt good about than they have landed. Also, all recruits say they had good time at their visit, so Blackshear may have gave the impression, to make Florida think they a chance, but other sources have heard different.
Travis wasn't 7ft either. 6-7or8 with a short reach, a little below average speed & leaping ability. Not much room in the NBA for a Travis because of the physical limitations.
Blackshear has more potential to improve his stock a little....not 1st rounder but certainly could become draftable. And yes, UK makes that more likely than Florida.
And yes, Blackshear at UK makes us a national title favorite. At Florida, he makes them a top 15-20 team. Exciting for them but not UK standards.
-Cal has a proven track record. Mike White does not.
-UK offers maximum exposure in games & practices which are OFTEN visited by NBA personnel.
-UK cultivates an atmosphere like non-other in what it takes to master your craft. That's why SGA, Herro, & Johnson went from not being in preseason mock-drafts to being in the green room. It's why Cauley-Stein went from high end 3 star player to lottery pick under Cal. It's why Towns leaped Okafor as #1 pick. It's why Booker went from an expected 2-3 year player to a early 1st rounder.
**This really should not be hard for someone in Blackshear's situation folks. No brainer! And unless he is home sick...which is very unlikely for a grad-transfer...Florida is a very diluted appeal.
Maybe lacks good common sense if he plans to attend UofL next year.
Great, nice catch on my spelling mishap.
As far as your comment about KB being in the NBA if he was anything close to PJ, you'll need to read my comment again.
I said he is "closer to PJ than he is RT".
Also, it's not like PJ is a lottery pick, he's a first rounder and in reality, KB needs polished to also be a first rounder. He has the physical tools, he just needs the right coaches and program to push him over the top.
He very well could be a first rounder next year, it wouldn't surprise me either way.

Thanks Jake, appreciate the info. But no need to pat yourself on the back with a ghost account. LOL.
Here's a clip of Calipari and his staff preparing to secure a commitment from Blackshear.
Haha I just thought it was wild that this guy is basically still in high school

Also, it’s “it’s”. If you’re going to correct people, check yourself first.
good flickHere's a clip of Calipari and his staff preparing to secure a commitment from Blackshear.
Just give us a hint then. Post a gif..happy or sad update?
yes, those of us that spend a little over $9/month..... the highest and the mightiest
Not a member, as I personally just don’t wanna pay for what I’ll find out a day later here, but I completely understand why someone that pays for that info wouldn’t wanna give it out.
I don't agree that you'd find out next day anywhere necessarily. They put out a ton of great football info that I never end up seeing anywhere else.
Yeah I understand it as well, just wait for matt Jones or ksr to claim “their sources” when it’s just one of them getting it from HOB and breaking it first.
I’m sure you’re right. I’m talking strictly basketball, however, as I don’t get into football recruiting. Too many decommitments for my liking
