The fact that Duke is pursuing him is a little strange. It's almost as if any player we want, Duke wants to try and take them from us, just to show us they can. I mean how many more recruits does Duke need for next year. But regardless, I'm very hopeful we sign Montgomery, as I am a little fearful we lose more to the NBA than we really think.
Really hope we get E.J. Montgomery

They may not really want him,I can see them expressing interest just to flex their recruiting muscle because they are in a position to do it.Cal is forever throwing out one liners to needle Duke so they are taking it up a notch.
Agree with what you say but we have a 3 person class,we are on thin ice if we lose 5+ in any fashion.If he wants to come here we take him just because of numbers.
I want him also, if nothing else than to say Cal can keep up his streak of signing top 10 composite players and keep Duke from getting him. I really want them to go into next season with a really good PG, really good wings, and a turd at C in Bolden.
Honestly, they are going to need several more recruits if they actually want to contend next year. As of now they will have no true post players other than Bolden, nor will they have any guards except Jones and Alex O'Connell. Their players will almost all be forwards, EJ just gives them more of something they already have a lot of.
Agreed ! More posts like this Keyser. Well done. This absolutely gets my stamp of approval.
Keep it up Brotatoe chip!
What happened with Zion being a lock to Clemson? I suppose your “source” was... incorrect?
That being said i mostly agree with your post , but to be honest Reddish, Zion and RJ are all “transcendent” ish type players. They’re all 3 really really good so just having those 3 on the team will keep them a top 5-7 Team next year.
I still believe if we bring a good portion of our guys back to go along with Herro, KJ and IQ then we will be right up there with them (or possibly better )
Nah, see what happened was I didn't realize until too late that my phone auto-corrected Duke to Clemson. It was the weirdest thing. Regardless, I got an even better source on this recruitment.What happened with Zion being a lock to Clemson? I suppose your “source” was... incorrect?

Ehh, history shows you need really good guard play to be a true contender. Having reliable post players is also a big aid. If they had the right backcourt I would say they could overcome it, but having very little guard play, no true post presence, combined with youth and Duke level D will be a huge issue for them unless Jones is Trae Young level.
I would love to have a player on the team that when they take it to the rim they dunk the ball so hard that if a player goes to block it there's a chance he's getting hurt. Do not drive it to the rim and just throw it up there with hopes of getting a call from the official. Knox took it to the rim with authority the other night hopefully if we get him E.J. is that type of player.
At some point the kids have to use some common sense when considering Duke, only 5 players can play at a time, and then some will have to sit for a while. Then there will be some who don't start which will be culture shock, someone needs to ask Bolden is he really happy. There have been several who have left Duke recently because they had been recruited over, but they fell for the set for life line. I just wonder how parents feel about coach Capel who has been in trouble with the NCAA telling their kids this, or do they really care. If they don't and it don't work out for their son, then they got what they deserved too for believing that crap.
Naw they really want him. If you watch Duke you can see why. Those who have seen them play know that Bolden is waiting in the wings, do you really want him as the starting Big next year lol. The other Big is athletic but is foul prone and beat as a off the bench Big. E.J would have to be awful to not start over either of those bigs
UK should be better early (likely not ranked higher) since those freshmen, although very talented, will go through the freshman adjustment period especially on defense and road games. The potential by tournament time will be higher than almost any other team though. KU should start the season at 1 though then it will likely be Duke then UK. Great thing is UK will get them early which should be a win (depending on who returns to UK) an move up to 2

OP is a troll first of all.
Second - Duke is pushing for EJ, and likely will sign him.
Third - I hate Duke.
That is all.

I heard some HUGE NEWS concerning Duke! Let's just say justice is coming! I cannot wait!!!!
I’m gonna tell you the same thing my balls told me the first time I tried boxer shorts.
You can’t just leave us hangin like this bro.
Uh, I don't know.....just looking at your username for one. Seems like pretty basic detective work to me? Anyone else want to jump in here???
My eyes are not very good but that does say ku right?:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Had to check to make sure I wasn't on the wrong board.
But yeah, I believe you see what I see.
Duke literally loses all their good players next season. They have 4 players but a team needs more then that. I know they have some guys like O'connell and Bolden but I seriously doubt Bolden is there next season. UK is in a much better position as we will have experience on the team but we will still need one more PF if Gabriel leaves. If Gabriel doesn't leave them EJ is just a luxury and I believe this class closes out with Wiseman and maybe a grad transfer at SF if JV goes pro.
GOKU is the star of Dragonball Z one of the most popular Animi shows of all time. The Avatar should let you know that as well. I have been a die hard UK fan since I was a little kid. In 2012 I followed Kentucky all the way to the NCAA title game, and watched the confetti fall as they one the title. I am very much not a troll.
My bad then. You're not a troll, you're just into some weird **** I've never heard of. I do apologize. I truly believed you were a KU fan. I saw @FrankUnderwood post something about cartoons, but it went over my head; I just thought he was drunk again.
Sorry GOKU! I will apologize publicly so all of my peers see that I'm an *** today.
Dude you have to change that username. They will kill you in here.
I think you are gonna have some issues on this board with that username.
It would be like @BBUK with a username like @TheDukeFan - just can't work.
I understand what you are saying, and perhaps I should have selected Vegeta, but GOKU has always been my favorite DZ character. I guess I thought my Avatar pic would clear up any confusion. But all I can say is I bleed UK blue always have and always will.
