Evan Daniels Changes McDaniels pick to Undecided

[bbnkat02]

I can't seen how anyone could get mad with Jaden if he picks another school beside UK. That won't be the issue for me. What will be the issue are the naive fans who will try to downplay it if it happens. Stuff like, "We're spoiled; we still have the #1 class; we have more than enough talent; UK is bigger than any one player; etc."

If we've learned anything over the years, it's that you need as much talent as possible and that every ounce of higher level skill ability matters in March. If Jaden doesn't pick UK, I will make it my summer goal to contest the posters at every intersect who downplay not getting him. I'm tired of the whole "we don't need this kid" mantra from the same tired silly fans on this board. It's proven untrue time and again when one missing piece was the difference in a Final Four or an earlier exit.

Getting Jaden puts us in the driver's seat next season. This recruitment is enormously important.

If we miss on McDaniels but get Blackshear it’s salvageable. If we miss on both it’s going to hurt badly. Especially if the EJ wanting to leave rumor is true.

EJ would HIGHLY benefit from another year and would basically be in the PJ position of working yourself into a high first round draft pick. I mean he’s gotta do what he thinks is best for him and his family but I mean take a hint. You didn’t get an invite to the combine. That usually means “Thanks, but, no thanks.”

I don’t know if @Rupp'sRunt has sources but Eric Bossi came on the HOB last night and explained it and it makes it seem like RR was right. He was UKs then something happened.

 

[oddis500]

I think we are still fine. This seems like last minute subterfuge just to put a little drama in the announcement. I think it's all good.

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

Hope I’m wrong but I believe everyone fell for a smoke screen !!!!!

I believe you are correct. Sounds like he will commit to Washington and this was a smoke screen with UK

 

[catman15]

Now let’s see if the rest of the recruiting gurus start following suit and then we will know if Evan Daniels was their source. They seem to do that alot

100%! Funny how all the "crystal ball" picks are 95% the same whether they end up wrong or right

 

[jrm693]

Well, at least if McDaniels chooses Washington, we won’t have to worry about seeing him on TV

Unless he joins the brotherhood out of the blue.

Not sure why many feel this way. Most have said he JM doesn’t like drama and will just post on Twitter his intentions. Not like he had a big ESPN announcement planned. Just not buying this is the reason for the late change of direction from the recruiting analysts.

 

[CMD77]

So basically Jaden McDaniels committed to UK and then decommitted? Classic.

Actually, that's pretty much what Bossi stated in HOB. Committed, but has gotten cold feet when it came time to go public. So for all of you bashing posters who have stated "McDaniels is coming to UK" you should probably back off a bit. From Evan Daniels original crystal ball pick to Bossi's most recent comments, there is ample reason to believe all signs pointed to JM choosing UK.

I don’t know if @Rupp'sRunt has sources but Eric Bossi came on the HOB last night and explained it and it makes it seem like RR was right. He was UKs then something happened.

What happened?? It’s really weird something that drastic could happen two nights before his commitment. I coach college ball and it’d have to be something wildly obtuse for it to change due to a specific event. Otherwise, he just wasn’t sure and buzz got rolling that wasn’t true.

I'm basing my opinion purely on my emotions and wishes ha.

 

[STL_Cat]

You calling a post stupid that's priceless. He could end all the drama by announcing. So in a way he is prolonging what is supposed to be a done deal.

It’s only drama if you let it be drama. Do like I do, don’t invest yourself in this stuff. When he commits here or elsewhere that’s where he’s going. Why let the stuff in between affect you emotionally? Just get excited when guys commit. Before that it’s whatever for me.

 

[Born and Raised Big Blue]

So we finally got payback for Terrence Jones?

 

[Fitch44]

Wow. The fantastic mods who make a living on defending morgousky and ruppsrunt Deleted all my posts. I slammed these two liars in detail and explained in detail why they are liars. And of course the mods delete it cause heaven forbid people call them out on Their fraud

And when he says lots of experts agreed with him he doesn’t mention the lie that proves he’s a fraud. Him and morgousky said they knew he was a lock in February. No so called expert had any idea where he was going. So please ruppsrunt stop pretending you know people

Like I’ve repeated. Anyone saying they had direct info from JM was a total lie. It was very well known he wasn’t giving any details out.

Fwiw he might still come to Uk. No one knows. But if he comes ruppsrunt or morgousky had no prior knowledge. It’s impossible.

When the mods delete everyone of your posts to protect these two liars .... you can guess why that happens.

I slapped them around with facts and called out everyone of their lies.
Explained what it means to be juzanged lol

Juzanging is the act of reporting common knowledge as insider info—- when every publication already wrote on the matter

So when ruppsrunt pretends he gave us insider info on juzang when every damn publication already told us... well my friends you were juzanged lol

On jaden McDaniels they flat out lied about. Impossible they knew anything on JM. One huge lie. Sad part is if it wasn’t for Evan Daniels people here would still buy what those two are peddling. Which is nothing more than lies on top of lies.

Ruppsrunt and morgousky nothing but two bullies and two proven frauds

Damn you typed all
That and are still wrong. They have already been shown to be correct on HOB.
Bye Felicia.

Don't know. He said he got cold feet after it was becoming real.

 

[blubo]

So, another recruiting guru who, as it turns out, is not sure where a player is going, but is only speculating?
I often do the exact same thing. i’m beginning to think i may have a gift.

 

[GonzoCat90]

I just want to clarify.

You've been saying for a while now that JM to UK is done. You knew it. You've been way ahead of this thing.

@GonzoCat90 supposedly needs to appologize for not believing you.

NOW that Evan Daniels changed his pick--you're saying it possibly changed? But you've known for so long!

Help me understand.

I haven't said anything about the McDaniels situation, that I can remember.

I asked him why he waited until it became public knowledge that we were going to land him to tell us Juzang committed. He threw a tantrum, deleted it, and went around tagging me in a dozen threads trying to win an argument no one was having until I just put him on ignore.

We were actually good in the original thread until he realized he could get a dozen likes by being a petulant troll.

You're wasting your time trying to make a rational stand on the internet. Even people who mean well don't follow closely enough to hold anyone to anything concrete, so it becomes things like this situation where I never even discussed it but have somehow been proven wrong.

He doesn't want an apology because there's nothing to apologize for. He wants attention.

 

[catman15]

You buy that lol

He got cold feet. No one knows where he is committing to. No cold feet. No one has a read on him. Nothing has changed. He might still come to uk. If he does believe me NOONE had any prior knowledge of it.

Don’t believe the bs you read. They have to write sometime to keep the monthly charges reoccurring

You're literally a nerd hiding behind 5 screen names, writing 7 paragraph essays, arguing a point that won't hit because nobody actually cares. You are a lunatic for caring what people post on a message board so much. Go eat a snickers or something and wait for the announcement like a normal human

 

[GonzoCat90]

My new favorite poster. You don’t just accept the lies You call them out on it

Quick question do you believe ruppsrunt and morgousky are the same people ?

I don't.

I'm also not looking to call anyone out. I just like to know as much as I can to filter out what to believe and what not to believe on the internet. I hope everyone posts what their sources tell them and then lets us ask questions to see if the information holds up.

 

[Fitch44]

You buy that lol

He got cold feet. No one knows where he is committing to. No cold feet. No one has a read on him. Nothing has changed. He might still come to uk. If he does believe me NOONE had any prior knowledge of it.

Damn you need a hug, or some ***.
Something.

 

[catman15]

When your mods are your friends and ban you for calling you out daily cause they definitely love to attack people but can’t stand when people call them out on it.
And this account is another troll morgousky or ruppsrunt account. Same person. You’re not fooling anyone anymore

No sir. One account i made at the age of 15 with my father. Only a loser would do that. I could care less if them boys knew or not. You come off as a idiot is probably why your stuff is being deleted.

 

[JC CATS]

But he has already signed

 

[bbn93]

If we get McDaniels then hell yeah, if not it could lock up blackshear for us. It's win/win.

 

[macaca]

Evan Daniels was on TJ Walkers radio show this morning. He thinks McDaniels is now leaning Washington after JM spoke to Washington coaches but situation is still fluid. Hopefully Cal can switch JM back to UK when he gets back from Italy. Daniels has no idea when JM will commit.

 

[RipThru]

Stop protecting your friends. Two losers who are proven frauds. Unfortunately for you even their fake gang cant hide the fact. And hob what ever that is didn’t prove sh$&. They lied. They get their garbage from a paid subscription sites who write whatever garbage they feel like to keep the Money coming in. Evan Daniels went to the source. Those two yelled they knew where he was going since February (which is impossible). And why didn’t their contact just go ask him lol ? Why did we have to wait for Evan Daniels ?

Like I said their lies about JM is obviously and even more embarrassing is them juzanging us -
Repeating common facts that every one here already read and passing it off like they are insiders. And losers like you accept that crap instead of challenging them on their ridiculous thread.

I slapped them both for the bully liars they are. Reason your friend mods deleted it all. Heaven forbid your friend is cAlled out for being a liar. Something btw ive insisted they are for a while now.
Now we all know what Ive been saying for weeks is absolutely true. I didn’t now Just say this. I have for weeks.

You come on here posting a bunch of definitive ****, saying nobody knows, nobody has talked to Jaden... how the hell do you know? How do you know who Jaden has talked to?

 

[catman15]

It’s deleted cause makes your friends look bad. I think that’s obvious.

Friends? I don't know those people lol they post on a message board i read daily and aren't acting like idiots so it's burn the troll. I only want them to be right because it benefits me as a UK fan and have no investment in what/who they know. Couldn't care less about their credibility as their word isn't gospel either way

 

[Zjstep01]

You buy that lol

He got cold feet. No one knows where he is committing to. No cold feet. No one has a read on him. Nothing has changed. He might still come to uk. If he does believe me NOONE had any prior knowledge of it.

It was a national guy who said it

 

[FrankUnderwood]

Hope I’m wrong but I believe everyone fell for a smoke screen !!!!!

How is it a smokescreen ?

 

[FrankUnderwood]

Well this is ****** news to come home to.Blackshear would be a must get now.

Good thing he didn’t switch his pick to another school. Also good that everyone else is sticking with the their UK prediction

 

[Dablueman]

Sound like Washington got in his or someone ear and got them waffling give Cal a day or 2 to talk to him. Could be he didn’t want to tell Washington yet and he could be telling them what they want to here so he doesn’t feel any negative pressure yet

 

[wildcatdon]

Sounds exactly like what happened to Randall before he committed.

 

[TankedCat]

Cal in Italy - they may have got a foot in the door.

 

[TrustinCal]

Just trolling for traffic.

 

[FrankUnderwood]

He gone




Lol, but for real... even if we don’t land McDaniels we’re in prime position ( per usual with Cal) for another FF Run.

 

[CMD77]

Not a good look for Cal to be on vacation in Italy while a top 10 recruit is allegedly having second thoughts and struggling to make a final decision.

 

[z71sab]

How is it a smokescreen ?

Everyone has thought Washington forever. Then all the Kentucky chatter last week was planted by McDaniels camp to keep everyone guessing and waffling back and forth. Happens all the time. I feel very confident Washington is gonna be the pick. Quiet kids that don’t like the spotlight usually don’t end up at Kentucky.

 

[Zjstep01]

I'm sure he's been in contact. He was doing a coaches clinic and I bet can come back if needed.

 

[macaca]

I wonder when Cal is coming back. No doubt Cal can still call him but he might need another in person visit to lock him up.

 

[CMD77]

I'm sure he's been in contact. He was doing a coaches clinic and I bet can come back if needed.

Oh I’m sure he’s been in contact. But it can’t be as easy to handle situations like this when you’re in a foreign country. Prior to last night’s turn of events, one of the reasons I was confident this thing was done was the fact Cal took this vacation. It just didn’t seem like something he would do if there was a major (time sensitive?) recruitment still up in the air.

 

[Bluedog1]

This has been stated a whole lot of times, but these are 18-19 year old kids we are talking about with a whole lot riding on the decisions they make. My guess us JM has changed his mind 100 times possibly in the last week or so. A buddy of mine in the 80`s drove around with Chris Mullin when he was on his Louisville trip and Chris told him he was 100% to the Cards. He went home and a few days later committed to St Johns. These kids flip/flop so much its just now with social media it gets reported every few minutes. My guess is maybe even JM himself is confused. Seems to be a very quiet kid, and not an attention seeker, and just wants to make sure he puts himself in the best position possible to get to the league and maybe please his family. 3,000 miles away to in our opinion the best choice, but we are definitely biased. Id love to have him as I think he is the prototype for the present and the future, skilled , long and tall that can put it on the floor and go to the rim with it, as well as shoot it. He gets some muscle on his frame and look out.. KD type comparisons..

 

[kydmb99_rivals103809]

We need Blackshear way more than McDaniels. Give me Blackshear with EJ back and call it a class. McDaniels has always felt like he's staying home.
