Chris Balas saying UM "likely to get" KBD

 

from what i've heard. it's down to Illinois and Ohio State.

Meaning what you've read on twitter? Jesus, you don't even have the right 2 teams.

Fwiw Michigan is the school I'm worried about. Still think we get him though.

Kendall Stephens? I know you didn't 'want' Jay Simpson. It's obviously an uphill battle to pull Illinois kids from downstate. We're hard after KBD, Finke, and some other Illinois kids.

Didn't Kendall decide after Malcom Hill verballed to us? Plus it's gonna get harder for you to come in now being as our current coach is much more highly regarded as a recruiter.

 

Nope, Kendall committed in early 2011. Obviously, he's a legacy so that helped. It's never going to be easy. Illinois hasn't pulled anyone from Indiana in the last decade.

AJ Hammons will play in the NBA. He can shoot for a big man and is a load at 7' 260.

 

He just has to keep working hard. He was a steal for Purdue.

I'm pumped about him, Ronnie Johnson, and Simpson. I'm not sold on Davis yet. This year is going to be rough, but Painter brought that on himself with poor recruiting classes in 2 of the last 3 years. 5 freshmen getting significant minutes.

Ok, how does that matter in relation to KBD? Did he move to indiana?

Just stating that its already tough odds to pull a kid from someone else's backyard.

A top 25 guy just committed to UTEP.

Gotcha. I think you guys better really hope Groce isn't legit. If he is you could be left with scraps. Since Crean is getting whatever he wants.

Jordan Hamiltons little brother.

I would rather see UI successful as opposed to IU. Plus Crean's next class is like 75% out of state kids.

Is he gonna just be ok with the missed games? If the latest report about the biasedness of the NCAA is true on his case, can he seek legal retribution?

What do you mean by the first question?

 

I doubt he'll seek any retribution. He'll play out the season and head to the NBA. I bet he wouldn't have done much even of it was a bigger suspension.

I meant I think it's crap he missed any games at all. So is he ok with missing those games?

How in the hell is Gotfried recruiting like this?

[Magnetic Curses]

KBD is not going to purdue.

 

You have some personal insight? Illinois fans were wrong about Jackson and Smart. Painter was in on him from the beginning. I'm not saying he goes to Purdue but we're on his radar.

 

Illinois fans wrong about Jackson and Smart? That really proves it.

None of that matters because I was wrong about Jackson and Smart.

For Anya, NC State was literally the only team still recruiting him. Indiana dropped out a couple weeks ago, so he didn't really have a choice unless he waited for other teams to recruit him.

Come on, a top 40 big man had no other choice? He could have waited until the spring. Someone would have found room.

Sure he would of had other choices if he waited until spring but if he wanted to sign during this recruiting period, NC State was the only school still on his list.

I was pointing out that your smug declarations are often wrong. I'm not saying he's going to Purdue.
