SMH. ALL insiders are fake. If their predictions were 'real', Kentucky, Duke and every major basketball program in the country would have them on the payroll. They throw crap around for website hits, and then their friends report it as news. They know NOTHING, Jon Snow...

There isn't person on this board, the national board, ESPN, or RecruitingMorons.com who have ANY idea where the kid is going. And there isn't ANY one in ANY program who does either. So all this 'close to the program super secret leaked information available only to ME' is nonsense.

After perusing 10 pages of foolishness, no one says when the kids announcement news conference is scheduled. You think that if they had ANY 'inside' information, it could at least be about his calendar.

Never believe you are being told the 'facts' when some begins with 'X says'. Or starts an report with 'I'.
Are you sure? Do you have some inside information to discredit their sources?

I love all of the people on here trying to bait non-subscribers into subscribing to read some "juicy info" on HOB. I've been an off and on subscriber for years and I can tell you with 100% certainty that if the story has legs, you'll find out about it for free on KSR or a similar site. Anything that is on HOB that isn't reported at KSR or others is all spec and rumors. So, be patient, that's the best advice I can give.

Let me clarify that this is in no way a dis on being a Rivals member. It has its perks and I don't discourage anyone from subscribing, but don't subscribe just to get some Bolden speculation.

I don't agree with this...

I have known people who had inside knowledge on stuff before.

That doesn't mean that anyone besides the kid knows for sure what he's going to do, but there are absolutely people who are close to the situation many times.

Sometimes the kids own coach doesn't know for sure, but a kids coach or his best friend know more than we do...

I gotta be honest. I still haven't read anything on HoB regarding Bolden that I would say is worth subscribing for.

Lest we forget the Kansas fan who told us a day early about Wenyen Gabriel.....he classified as a genuine insider.

Exactly! This is UK basketball.......Someone tell me of one situation that was ONLY reported on the premium board? IF it is about UK it will be on the media for FREE! Oh, if you belong to the HOB you will find out 10 minutes quicker.

to be fair, it did help that he was Gabriel's teammate, LOL
but it's a good point - some people will just know due to who THEY know

I don't think any info on Bolden is worth subscribing for, but what does this mean exactly, that you don't think the info is very compelling or trustworthy?

Julius Randle....nearly all the talking heads thought Kansas. Kansas 100% thought he was coming; however, HOB poster broke the news that Randle was coming & Poythress was returning. Matt Scott from the shiver thought I was crazy.

Never said it was a source or insider, toolbag. Said someone told me they heard he was announcing. I asked if anyone else had heard the same and someone mentioned the signing day special.

Keep being a douche though. [thumb2]
Dude, you brought this on yourself. Don't be getting pissy when people call you out on your BS.

To be fair, they think they're getting everyone. Hell, they probably still think Fox is a lock. Matt Scott is the biggest homer on the planet. The Duke insiders are way more plugged in than the KU guys.

Respectfully, no you don't. You know someone who SAYS they do. There is no such thing as 'insider knowledge'. People like to impress their friends with being 'special'. 18 year old co-students brag about everything from how what girl puts out to their drinking prowess. So as long as you listen when they talk, they happily tell you that DJ Butthole is the greatest musician since Beethoven, and that aliens built Rupp Arena. Claiming to be a best friend of X is easy. Coach's are no better...I mean, a National Magazine coming to your sweaty little gym and asking for your opinion? What an ego rush. OF COURSE they will leak super secret info that only they know. Don't ask them about the Sphinx, though...

I once bet on a horse and it won. No one is 'plugged' in, except to maybe their vap machine.

What's stopping Bolden from committing to Duke today?

I like this delay in that it can only benefit our side.

You don't have to be an " insider " . You just have to know one , or know someone that knows one , or know somebody that knows somebody that knows somebody that knows somebody that knows one ..........lol . I'm actually in that situation now with the football program . My sons best friend is on the staff . I posted some little tidbits of " inside " info on the football board and some dude called SantonioCat attacked me , said I was fake , and told me to go back to the basketball board . So I did cause it wasn't worth the hassle , just thought some people would appreciate the info but people like him keep some insiders from posting . It's just not worth the hassle .

My point was if it is about UK we will hear about it. It might be reported on HOB first....so? Everyone knows shortly there after.

Just said people in the know say that Bolden has changed his mind a bunch of times.

Calls it a toss-up, still.

Not even sure if he'll announce tonight, or wait until Monday.

MJ give dook a slight edge.

Chris Fisher as well. Chris stance for months on Randle was that he'd be shocked if it wasn't UK. We locked Randle up when he visited on alumni day and hung out with Boogie and Davis.

Matt said that one of the reason everybody was saying Duke was because he had got something in preparation to announce. Obviously that would be the shoes we heard about.

Didn't someone also say he got UK shoes made?

MJ said Duke people feel 100% they are getting him.
UK people are 50/50 and unsure.

LOL I love how this board acts like Jones is an insider as he is not . He just goes by whatever others are saying ie the wind blows. He has got the last few recruitments dead wrong - Brown , Murray ect . And I love , love love listening to him as he is one of us but recruitnik he is not. There are true insiders like Paul but you gotta pay for the info and it is the best money you could ever spend. Bolden has always favored UK he just had to get his parents on that side and I think Thornton did that for him. But people like to believe every rumor they hear so the tides of recruiting get rocky.

Once again, this seems like the classic misdirection when everyone knew where the kid was going, in this case Bolden to Duke, so some of his people put some pro UK stuff out there to give the announcement some of the suspense it had lost on the last few weeks.

Of course I hope I'm wrong but I'm just saying what it feels like to me. I will be proud to eat crow if I'm wrong.

No you are right but have it backwards as everyone has known he was a UK kid for months and to make some drama a few weeks ago Duke stuff was leaked . Really am baffled anyone can say this looks good for Duke. Now if the shoe was on the other foot I would agree ( Kid was a long time Duke lean ) .
