Seems that he's sent a LOI to the school of his choosing, and the fact that UK always keeps stuff under wraps and lets kids have their moment bodes well for us since no one "knows" his decision.
Quade Green Woke Up

My guess...... he has no more information at this point than what everyone following this thread has already. Matt's the type though that can confirm or dispel these types of rumors, so I'll take it as a good sign nonetheless.
That's the hope.
So do we take Green, SGA, Knox, PJ, Bamba, and Richards and call it a class? Or are there others out there we might still bring in? Might still need a wing..... Young?
Let's get Quade Saturday, and ger Vanderbilt, young, Bamba, and Knox in the spring. Is that your #1 class?
The one thing I still don't get, is why did he drive 6 hours to Syracuse the other day? Sounds like he was all but committed, then he goes to MSG for MSU/UK game.. I love Kentucky, but I do find it hard to believe that one night could totally alter his decision, a decision that's been building for almost 2 years.
.. unless Syracuse was never his top choice to begin with, and he'd rather have gone to one of the top programs, but only got buzz from them recently.

Anyone know Quade'a relationship with Knox? I know him and Bamba are teammates but if we could somehow pull Knox and Mo in this class.....whew boy
I would think if I was in that position I would take all the free trips I could. Officials and unofficials to campus are probably a fun time.
I've thrown the misdirection possibility out there as well, and I'm still not convinced that isn't what is happening here.
However - the idea of putting out misdirection like this through the admins on the most popular Syracuse board would seem like a potentially bad idea. As big a recruit as Green is for Cuse, you could run the risk of fans doing something stupid like attacking the kid on twitter.
Plus, the visit to the UK game and the followup interview with his coach was enough to throw a little uncertainty in the mix. I'm not sure additional misdirection was needed.

Not sure you still get Young....possibly but not AS likely. The others are all on the table
Melancer46, thanks for coming by and engaging in civil discourse. Regardless how this one recruit picks, I hope you'll come back-- especially around tournament time to offer insights on any teams that you guys played and that UK might encounter, and vice versa.
To my UK brethren who are gloating like they're holding a signed LOI from the kid, I have only two words: Child, please! Hush up and wait to see how this thing plays out before you make a fool out of yourselves.

Unless it's all building on itself. How many people can possibly be "connected?" If the three people close to the recruitment all tell the reporters/insiders/etc then it turns into an echo chamber. It's not like 40 individual people are privy to Green's decision making
Please let this be true. I had written him off. Id love to be wrong.
Half tempted to go down the hall from my apartment and ask D-Will if he knows anything but I doubt it.
No chance. I want Young starting at the 2. We need guards. You don't pull the plug on anyone.
I like Young, but if Cal has offered this kid and is cool with his signing for Kentucky, I too am all for it! Cal is the man with recruiting. If this kid is good enough to risk losing Young, he's good enough to start and lead Kentucky on the floor as a freshman.
Can't have enough shooters.
Don't know what Young is waiting for. And don't love that I'm hearing word that top recruits don't want to play with him. Although we do need guards.. I'mn not sure Green wants to play with him either, and could screw this up if Green doesn't sign an LOI right away.
Right now, I want Green over Young.

Cal has gone positionless - plenty of room for 5 Star Elites :cool2:
Exactly. It's all positionless anyway. Technically this would be nice.
Wash
Rich.
Alex.
Green
Young
Bamba
Knox
That's solid.
If Quade commits to UK, shots on me for the whole board.
I had some Titos and it feels like the worm has turned.
Vodka? God, they can't even correctly drink alcohol.

Where do you live? I don't want no internet pretend shot. You need to buy me a shot at Chilis or Applebees.
He said what he is wating for - he wants to see both teams play the first 2 months of the season . He will be Cat in the end so who cares how long he takes. I would take my time too.Green is really good but Young can put up 30 a night in college . Young , while not as good as Bamba or Knox or IMO as PJ ( who I think one of the 6-7 players in HS ) is the key to UK being a top 10 team next season by the end ( though we will lose a some games ) . Cal has to have a guard who can score and Young is it.
I still believe Young is the slightly (maybe more than slightly) better player overall. But he is dragging his feet, and even if the rumors about other players not wanting to play with him are exaggerated crap, we have players actually saying out loud that they want to play with Quade Green if that could reasonably happen. Young's rumor may be false, but the Green one is confirmed. Sometimes it isn't always about getting the #1 overall player. Green isn't substantially behind him, could bring in some guys we're potentially trailing for, and he is labeled as a natural PG which makes me swoon.
Young could have committed here months ago. If he's hanging back to see how OU does in the first half of the season then he wasn't a "lock" to be here anyway. No need to risk it. If he comes, he comes.

I go to UK, Makers Mark has a special place in my alcoholic self destructive heart.
Guys we are appearntly wasting our time. I read the gold mine the cuse board and they said green drove 5 hours to watch them blow out Colgate and sign his loi and he didn't want to fax it in like normal kids. He also wanted to see them destroy Colgate I guess he uses crest. Anyways, Time to give it up. I really hope coleman enjoyed the house we bought him and his family
I agree. One second in a tablespoon full of good Ky shine and the worm wouldn't even twitch, let alone turn. #stiffasaboard
You still got about 10 to 15 years before you truly learn about your dependence to alcohol. [cheers]
You can send it in the mail. Ziploc baggy it and triple tape it. I'll pour it in my anus and photograph it for you.
The Kentucky cheats thing is getting so old. If we actually gave a parent a 6 figure job, the NCAA would have hammered us. There is local media that would rather throw the school under the bus than to write positive stories about us if they got wind of it. I guess nobody could prove the 6 figures we supposedly paid Anthony Davis.
They also think WWW was involved. Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't he no longer associated with Coach Cal? If he picks us it will be because we have no returning guards and we have a ton of players in the NBA like he said. So give up on the excuses and realize that if we need a player there is a good chance we will get that player. Especially if they play PG.

next year a line up of
Starters - Green/Young/Vanderbilt ( think we get him not Knox ) / Humphries/Bamba would be nice with a bench of Alexander /a grad transfer SG/PJ/Richards/SKJ

I think Washington is better so you might be right . I think PJ is one of the 6-8 best players in this class . Vanderbilt is more a true SF though .
