Well I was good friends with Derrick Jasper in college, and after one night of him, his brother Brandon, and I eating B-dubs he told me in my car that he was transferring. I got wasted one night soon after and made a drunk post on here and apparently Marc Maggard and others picked it up and posted the rumor. Woke up with a text from Derrick saying "I thought you was my dog". I felt like a foolish ******* at the time. So it is possible for one fan to spoil someones decision.

Also, would Juzang be our first recruit of Asian heritage?

I can understand that situation as Jasper was here and rumors of his transfer would be much more concerning for a player here rather than an announcement to where they will go. That’s national news that can’t be spoiled by a fan really.

I hope this is true. My info is more general: I have a friend who coaches high school basketball in LA, happens to be Asian-American, and is a huge UCLA booster.

He may be prejudiced in favor of the kid because of his Asian heritage but he says people are really not understanding what a talent Juzang is. His brother, who is five inches shorter, plays for Harvard. My friend, who has watched him many times and was praying he'd go to UCLA, says, "he's not going to blow you away watching a highlight reel. But he's incredibly in control, has remarkable instincts, is a very smart player and is a clutch shooter." He thinks he'll be drafted in the first round some day.

My friend has a good track record -- All the way back to Tayshaun Prince he has been advising me on Southern California high school players, and he has always been on the money. He was also the first person I ever heard of to predict Jeremy Lin could play in the NBA. He says Johnny Juzang will eclipse Lin as the best Asian-American basketball player.

Yeah, like i said before. Would not surprise me if he is not better than RJ Hampton, he has not been noticed a ton, will not blow you away in video, but has sneaky ways of filling a stat line like Shai Alexander or Doron Lamb would..

Nothing like UK fans to start going goofy over a potential UK commit.

Better than RJ Hampton who is considered the best player in high school at any age???...ok, if you really believe that.

Well, this has been a fun thread to read this morning.

Hope we get this kid, but getting Blackshear is much more important to me. I'll have a kermit moment if we get him.

Who am I kidding, I'll have a kermit moment anyway, but it would be a better moment with the Blackshear commit.

I hope we get JJ. That Compton ASU team he plays for us loaded. I think they may have won a championship last summer. We need a fundamental offensive guy who can D someone up and that’s what it sounds like he does.

Runt 100% knows some people who hear things. He’s definitely close enough to run across some interesting tidbits. The insider nonsense is stupid. I rarely entertain people looking for attention but that’s not what he’s doing. Runt has told me a few things in private and I would vouch for him on my end. He’s probably a little closer than you think, and definitely not one to look for attention. Had that been the case some things he has said in private......he would have definitely mentioned here.

It’s funny. A fraud like coachX, who’s still running around making troll accounts, was applauded and given the benefit of the doubt by majority yet, runt, who’s a long time member and someone who’s in that area, gets dismissed by other long time posters.

This is why the straight posters dry up around here.

If he said he heard that from a credible source, then I 100% believe he heard it. Just do with it what you want, form your own conclusions. But attacking him as a liar reeks of something other than disbelief.

Yeah this johny-come-lately douche bag KL40504 is being a a-hole to several posters , doing nothing but name calling and being a general nuisance . And you are right , him and a few other children who dont challenge other posters with a thought out response , but just sling mud should get banned .

Dramatic much? Settle down crybaby.

This place has like 1% of UK fans and nobody outside of UK following it.

For 99%+ of the basketball world whatever announcement he makes today will still allow the kid to “have his moment”.

yeah kl40504 is being a real PITA .

If he's anywhere near the player those two were, we are in for something special.

This has been hilarious to read. People here go crazy on a daily basis for info, any info, to have an idea of what's going on. They actually get it from a reputable poster and those same people rip him apart for "spoiling" the kids moment or some other nonsense. The hypocrisy is astounding. I'd be very interested to know the psychology behind the insane behavior displayed here. Some of you are nuts...
I have said for years, about 90% of the posters on here are unreasonable, ignorant and just plain stupid

LoL. Strange you think measuring d**ks is something to eat. Have you come back to reality that Brooks isn’t a 2 yet? [laughing]
I never said he was a 2. I said a 3-4. Go back and read my post. You said he is never going to play the 3. Are we moving the goal post again?

What’s your big problem with Runt? He is a long time poster with some credibility. I don’t understand why your so upset he shared some info he had.
We will see how much he really knows. I just think the kid will announce he is reclassifying to 2019. Just no reason to preempt the kid to be an internet hero.

Just because it hasn’t been announced doesn’t mean it hasn’t been decided. I can see a scenario where Juzang has already given Kentucky a verbal in private but it isn’t made public for a couple weeks. I remember reading that was the case with guys like Randle and Hagans.
