Adam Zagoria on Tom Leach show (on Murray visit)

[SilentsAreGolden]

Said he got a text last night about 11:30 from his dad. Started by talking about how good Murray is. He never gave the impression that he was predicting he would come or that he wouldn't, but the gist of his comments were that Ulis, Briscoe and Murray are all PGs, so the question is does Murray want to play in that kind of situation. I honestly don't think he had a solid read on that, one way or the other. IMO though, if it was a deal-breaker I don't think he would be visiting.

Lots describe Murray as a combo guard

Cal was able to sell Wall on coming here after Bledsoe committed. If nothing else, Cal has proven he'll play the best players.

Point Guard stuff is immaterial (since the League has redefined the position).

Cal's sales pitch: I have 40 minutes open at one perimeter position who can handle the ball and score at will. I can surround that guy with NBA talent and pretty much promise that he'll become a household name on national television from the opening weekend until the Final Four. Interested?

Didn't know this, but Bill Murray is Jamal's uncle. And if Bill can co-star in a star-studded comedy, then I'm sure it's in Jamal's blood too.

 

[Willy4UK]

he's also cousins with Eddie Murray, so the athleticism and competitiveness runs abroad in that family.

We just need Jamal to grow a sweet jheri curl.

Yep. You can see Jamal has Eddie's eyes.

He shared the floor with MJ, surely Jamal can share the floor with Tyler and Bricoe.

Both of you guys are wrong. His aunt is Canadian superstar Anne Murray.

I see the family resemblance there

Thumbs up for the Eddie Murray reference! LOL

I think Anne is married to Eddie's dad, who is cousins with Jamal.

 

[jte123]

You sure he is Canadian, I thought his brother was Andy Murray from Great Brittan. Great athletic family. Hahaha.

 

[BBUK]

And I always thought he was in the Arthur Murray lineage. Geez, I guess that doesn't dance...

 

[Nuke99m]

You all are all wrong. Jamal is related to Tracy Murray. Tracy Murray is the cousin of former Los Angeles Clippers small forward Lamond Murray and cousin of former New York Knicks shooting guard Allan Houston

 

[Willy4UK]

I had no idea that Jamal Murray was DNA version of the Kevin Bacon game. Mind blown.

We currently have 5 guards that can play multiple positions, will this hurt our chances with him??

 

[ukcatsfan2]

No! No! No!

he is the brother of Bill Murray!

You serious Clark?

No way in hell that Murray is worried about PT or playing alongside Ulis and Briscoe. Why wouldn't he want to play in the best 3 guard lineup in college basketball? Playing alongside Ulis and Briscoe would actually go a long way to making Murray an even BETTER player and getting him even more NBA exposure. I don't think he's worried about anything like that or else he wouldn't have even bothered showing up for the visit. My guess is that he's about to make a decision and wanted to get a view of the campus/facilities and to maybe visit with some of the players to get a feel for what it's like to play at UK.
