Kevin Knox

Well, you heard sab, guys, might as well thrown in the towel on Knox. Guy's got the scoops.
I won't be surprised in the least if we don't get Knox. As of now at least, I'd say he's more likely to go to Duke, but I really hope that there isn't one person on this board who still takes z71sab's "insider" status seriously.

The litter "scoop" maybe.
He's not visiting UK until Jan 28 followed by UNC. Don't expect an annoucement until the spring.
It will be the weekend of the Kansas game. Should be a great atmosphere. Don't be surprised if he visits unofficially before that. Big Blue Madness maybe?
If he comes to UK,, it'll not to play the 4 spot.. He's the true 3 we keep missing out on.. We're recruiting Washington,, Bamba and Richards for the 4/5 spots.. And I'm guessing Cal won't take Richards unless Bamba is ok with it..
Tomorrow never came for BoldenWell, you heard sab, guys, might as well thrown in the towel on Knox. Guy's got the scoops.
The real problem with that narrative is that the 2015 team represented an anomaly, and not some type of trend to point to. Guys like Jackson and Bolden picked Duke for the same type of reasons guys like Bam and Monk picked UK - to play for a prestigious, proven coach while at the same time finding the fastest possible way to the NBA.
Not trying to be argumentative but why would Matt need to do any of that? Why doesn't it matter if it's true or not? I just have a hard time believing that he would just make it up. He doesn't need to generate interest for anything, he already has the interest and I've never known him to just make something up to be positive. I think it's just something he has heard and passed it along. Nothing more and nothing less. It may be true and it may not be true. He's just passing along info that's he has gathered. I don't think there is any conspiracy with it. JMO, of course.
I think Duke will nab their fair share of the action. Just playing the percentages but I bet they load up. Maybe not on all their top priorities, and that may be exactly what you mean, but I think they get the 2nd best class. Also, how are so sure the Carter is the only one that signs with Duke? Cause recruiting never changes from the fall to spring? LOL!

Wow! I actually forgot about all that. Whiff!!
The fact that he only has one official visit (Duke) prior to the signing period doesn't instill a lot of confidence.
Either he is a strong lean to Duke and he never makes it to his UK official which isn't good. Or he's not planning on making a decision until the Spring, and that leaves UK with going all-in on one SF when there are others out there we could probably bring in if we put the press on them (Bowen, Vanderbilt, or maybe we could get back in on Wilkes).

Yeah, keep posting. Knowing what is NOT going to happen can be as important as knowing what is going to happen.
This is true in the philosophical sense - but then we need to encourage him to post an insane amount.
In order for "knowing what won't happen" to be equivalent to "knowing what will happen", then we need to know absolutely everything that will not happen, which is an infinite list of things.
So hop to it, sab.
Knox to Kentucky.
That way, even if I get it wrong and end up being quoted, I won't look like a negative blowhard who speaks out of my ***.

Good idea. Although, wouldn't that kind of make us sound like Kansas fans.
I kind of wonder how much input the schools had into visit dates for Knox.
I can see Duke pushing hard for an early commit - regardless of what his Dad has said about Kevin taking all his visits and committing in the Spring - and wanting him to come early for a visit.
UK meanwhile playing it cool and having him come to what should be THE most hyped game of the season at Rupp. I like our approach here. I just think Knox is too intrigued by the other schools involved - UK, UNC, and FSU - to pull the trigger early for Duke - no matter what they throw at him.

I don't think Knox will commit after the Duke visit just because I think he would at least go on his official visit to FSU since both of his parents played there. On another note, I was looking to see if his mom also played there and came upon an article where he was only a 2-star after his sophomore year. Crazy.

Lol well done sir! I like how it says "you're currently ignoring this member." Lol nice touchWell, you heard sab, guys, might as well thrown in the towel on Knox. Guy's got the scoops.
The problem is that he doesn't present it as an opinion. If he said "I don't think we get Knox, I think he's going to Duke", I've got no issue with that. But he states things as facts as if he has some inside scoop and he's got squat.
Well, there's a difference in stating an opinion and acting like you know something as a fact. Big difference there.
Actually think that the early visit puts us at a disadvantage.Since he is going to be a spring signee I would rather have in late so his visit will be one of his last impressions.
Alot of timea everything is all wrapped up after that 1st visit. The rest are just for show. Not saying this is the case with Knox at all, just saying that it may not be a disadvantage just because we weren't the last visit.
Knox is planning on taking two visits to each school left on his list. An official and an unofficial. I believe this ones in for the long haul.
I hate UNC but you have to give credit to Meeks for losing all that weight. He could have been another Josh Smith. He never even try to get into shape.
No one is mentioning KU? We're still on his list and we typically land the #1 or #2 SF in each class. (Wiggins, Jackson, Oubre, McLemore). We're SF U.
Good point. He still has one unscheduled visit. Maybe he pulls a Wiggins and commits in the Spring.
