Think the plan was for a commitment but it’s always been a he could pick a college and eventually end up in the G League situation. I’d prefer be not commit and scare off other bigs. If he wants to come in the end great but best we don’t get tied to him if he’s not fully committed to the college game.

I hope all that recruiting hype doesn't turn out to be a load of BS.
We haven't recruited a top big Man out of high school since Townes. Given Cal still plays the archaic low post offense we HAVE TO HAVE a good big man with offensive skills to be successful. It is not an accident that our last Final 4 appearance was with Towns in the post. Cal has had giant whiffs at the position since. He needs to recruit a good one for this class or change his offense. If he does neither he will be looking for a new job in a couple of years

I dont even care if we don't get the best one lol.. just get ONE of them. Why do I get the feeling both will wind up elsewhere and we will be left scrambling lol.

I hope that's not true, because it's also telling of someone's character. But if that is true, then Wagner shouldn't be waiting around. You want to call the shots? You can't do that if you're not committed yet.
Think Wagner gets his pick. Bradshaw backed off because he doesn’t to play in Wagner shadow any longer. Told many in AAU that.

Matt and Ryan are near Camden. They need to do a show from Camden and find out what is really going on

If they don’t like each other they sure as hell have a hard time showing it .

I’m not buying the notion that Bradshaw doesn’t want to play with Wagner because he wants to be the man . If that’s the case he shouldn’t be even consider Kentucky when we have Dillingham who is also ranked higher

He's waiting to see what DJ does. If DJ goes to UK, Bradshaw will go to UL! And vice versa. It sucks because UL is gonna get lucky and get one of them because Bradshaw doesn't wanna play with DJ.

It’s a lazy narrative because one doesn’t have a effect on the other Bradshaw was never going to be the man no matter where he went, Wagner is going to have the ball in his hands Bradshaw isn’t

A factor we all gotta consider is that when it comes to teenagers, they can be mad at each other one day and be best friends the next. We’ve all seen that happen and a situation like that could have started that rumor. Regardless, I hope we get both players to commit to our program and I hope the rumors are false

so we went from him being Wagner's best friend to them not wanting to play together
There always seems to be some bizarre rivalry rumor regarding the elites. Barrett doesn't want to play with Reddish. Bam wants money or else he's going to NC State. Julius Randle hates the Harrison twins. Bledsoe and Wall don't want to play together.

Most of the narratives are so stupid, and yet our fans treat them like they're Gospel. Now it's Bradshaw hates Wagner.

It's hilarious. Just pay attention to which of our fans sponge this crap up like it's reality.

I don’t get the I wanna be the man and go forge my own path narratives. Like you still need good team mates to have a great team. I kinda understand the Jordan mentality about being the man but you can still be an Alpha even with good team mates.

MJ never won until he started realizing exactly that with the Bulls. He had to make his team great, then he became great.

It's like we're trying too hard to do "right" by the players. But like Joe Dirt says, "This ain't UNICEF".. this is a business. The top priority isn't player feelings and wants.. its building the best team you can. Make the players decide.
It’s been like that from the beginning. Cal catering to these kids to the point where the players have most of the control. Recruiting has always been hard, but each year, the "what can you do for me" thought process gets worse.

This is why I don't get excited on these young kid and what they say. I will wait and get excited when they put their John Henry on the scholarship.

Could the delay just be until Peach Jam when Bradshaw, Edwards and Wagner all pledge allegiance to UK together?

So the kid wants to wait until his mother makes it onto campus and checks things out first before deciding and that is a bad thing?

Too many drama queens and people with tin-foil hats on this board...
The others guys got tin-foil hats I got screwed over all I could get is cardboard

Wasn't one of the reasons Wiggins didn't come to UK, despite being a UK lean forever, was that he didn't want to play with Julius Randle? I am sure the duffle bag of money from Adidas helped also but they're mutual dislike was the rumor at the time.
