I’m just here for @ralphdaltonfan ’s perspective. This is the only reason I browse Rafters at all anymore. Honestly
Lively Decision next week!
- Thread starter senonesy
- Start date
When teams get better after one player gets hurt (2013-2014), that is a major red flag. He would have wasted the minutes Dakari and Marcus Lee got.
Here’s a toast to those two! No Runner-Up banner in Rupp if WCS gets those minutes!
It was kind of irritating that he was alluding Kentucky all morning - then Branham CB pick comes in and he immediately starts hedging…
Like he was going to pretend he knew if it was Kentucky — but now he has to hedge because people aren’t so sure…
You summed up the insider's game in two sentences. LOL
If you felt good about a recruit you'd say it. Then hours later if a bunch of people start going the other way, you'd start to question what you knew also. Don't be a dick.
Tucker is such a....well you know
I miss the guys that wanted Cal fired. I really do. 
You really are a self righteous jackass.
I’m
Oh we are definitely still here. A few unproven 18 year olds hasn’t changed that.I miss the guys that wanted Cal fired. I really do.
Four days ago Cal was posting on his IG about being in Philadelphia
All of this. Find it hard to believe he was there checking in AGAIN on DJ Wagner. And four days after posting he was in Philadelphia (which is 30 miles away from Westtown), we get an announcement about Lively's decision? Find it hard to believe the dots aren't connected there somehow.
Let's just go out and get #9 this year and #10 next year!
But unfortunately we don't know exactly. To be a fly on the wall. What would we give lol. Odd, sometimes means we in to try change a negative or I think cal likes to be told in person. I think we experience that with cade and few others. But hey
we ain't heard yet. So I'm with ya. Go big blueDon’t get me wrong, I love what I see in the highlights I’ve watched of Sharpe but how in the hell is Lively not the number one recruit? That kid can pass, shoot and rebound. The one weakness I see is I guess his lack of strength but that will come around at some point.
Shooting inconsistent at a lot of points. Lots of stuff highlight tapes don’t show, hence highlights
Yep. Jones is actually promising he’ll probably change his prediction. That’s worse than hedging.
I don't think anyone right now knows for sure expect Lively. Just sit back and enjoy the football game tomorrow. Monday will be here soon enough.

Huh?http://bluedevilnation.net/2021/09/dereck-lively-ii-has-duke-in-home-visit-tomorrow/. But calipari and lively's mother have a history
Calipari and lively's mother are more than just in home visits. They had past history co workers. As far as article goes. It reads fall commitment for lively if your in the know. And he believes duke wins out on Sept 11 outlook. But leaves door open to possibly ky.

From what I’ve seen him post he doesn’t have a stance on this one because it has been completely quiet. People that are typically around the events have always thought it was Duke, BUT it never seemed like it was based on anything. We shall see.
The fact that this is so quiet and close to the chest make me feel better.
I'm a huge fan of your work. I've had the belief that somewhere, deep within your posts, are the nuclear codes.All I got, I'm a dumbass. Can someone explain to me what I post
Lol. I just like to have fun with y'all fellow cats. I wish I had real inside info to atleast pass along. But I try be a makeshift. I'm slightly edged on this lively thing. But I can see some hope. I just want ky to win. So we all can burn down the ville if ncaa can't do it. Along the way to #9,10,11,12....etc lol
I don’t think anyone has any idea at all at the moment. The timing suggests UK, so I’m happy about that, but I expect a lot of the analysts will be drumming this up for clicks either way.
One of the few huge recruitments of recent memory where I can’t lean one way or the other.

Obviously we all want him badly to pick UK. But, if he does go to Duke, let's not forget the incredible class we already have and can still add a couple more top 15 guys. It's not a full panic had to have guy to save the class.
I plan on killing the neighbors dog if we miss Lively.
Those downplaying this one are naive. This is a Duke-UK war in what will be the post-Coach K world.
We need this one, and badly. Duke has owned us on the recruiting trail for the last 5 or 6 years. We need to send a message that those days are coming to an end.
