bridges down to 3 moves uk visit up to this weekend :

lookin good guys. Some who know me off this site already knew Ulis would host him. Listen up. Ulis is a friggin magnet. Saw that two years ago. People tend to be clingons with him.

I don't know what Franklin said, then buried. I think it's damn near done. Take two and call me Monday.
<insert kermit jerking taffy gif here>
 
Ulis was our 5th choice. He is even related to ex spartan Walton. Frayed feelings.
Of course we didnt get the first 4 either

Because I'm sure all college coaches would have taken er.. Tum Tum? Over Tyler Ulis? Right. [laughing]

Hearing any chatter, or is it just your gut again?

Why is there always someone bring Duke up in every post? This post is about Bridges not Duke & Giles, by the way Cal is working real hard on Giles.

I was responding to the MSU fan that said they would have the #1 class with Bridges. Whoever gets Giles (UK or Duke) will have the #1 class most likely.
 
Dont call Izzo a dumbass, dumbass.....Tyus Jones was our #1 choice.
He is clearly better than Ulis.
Ulis is good but hardly a defensive ace.

We slow played Ulis when he wanted to sign with us. HE also had not blown up.
You got lucky.

Izzo is a dumba** if Ullis was his fifth choice at Pg. Mods can someone please take out this trash.

Ulis hardly a defensive ace? He may be the best on ball defender in college hoops you idiot.

I like Izzo, but choosing 4 other guards over Ulis was a dumbass thing to do, and thinking he could snag Jones away from Duke was even more foolish. Although I doubt that's true. You"Clearly" have no idea wtf you're talking about ITT, yet you continue to get gouged repeatedly, even by your own.

Whoever gets Giles (likely Duke) probably has the #1 class.
Don't take this personally, but that doesn't follow. First of all, there is growing debate in the media whether Giles, Fox, or Jackson is the top player in the class. A lot depends on whose ratings you like. And if Calipari signs 4 or 5 out of Fox, Monk, Alkins, Simmons, Bridges, Bolden, Allen, Gabriel, which is very possible, Calipari will have the top class. But recruiting is a means to an end, not an end unto itself. Winning the national championship is what matters.
 
Ulis is terrific defensively. He has his weakness, but makes up for it.

Izzo is not a dumbass.

Agreed.
 
ok, he wasnt 5th...a bit of hyperbole on my part. But Ulis was definitely slowplayed while izzo looked at Derrick Walton,Monte Morris and Demetrius Jackson. Those 3 plus Ulis were slow played and eventually committed to others.

He wasn't slowplayed, you idiot. By the time Cal gave him a look, Izzo wanted the kid badly.

This isn't something new. Izzo rarely lands the bluechippers he is considered "favorite" for at some point. Great coach. Great guy. But a step below the elite in recruiting.
 
Izzo has won some recruiting battles against Cal, Harris and Payne being the notable ones.

Cal has won against Izzo as well, Young and Ulis come to mind.

They also both lost Swanigan to Purdue.

It's obvious when a fan of another school (or UK) is just making excuses when they lose a recruit.

Izzo beat Cal for Payne and Harris. No excuses. They both wanted those two.

Cal beat Izzo for Young and Ulis, no excuses. They both wanted those two.

Quit making excuses when you lose recruits.

And that's not just for other schools, it goes for UK fans, too. You win some, you lose some in recruiting.

If we lose Bridges to MSU it's not because Cal wanted someone else more. If Bridges decides to stay home and play with his buddies, so be it. It happens.

Of course, that doesn't mean Izzo is a better recruiter, either, it means he got a recruit to stay home, which is something every major program should be able to do.
 
We're just having some fun. Season doesnt start for a while.
What's the big deal?
Anyway, part I of my forecast came true today.
Part II , Oct 3 unless Cal weaves his magic web and hynotizes Bridges.

This is a to the death battle for the #1 class..Bridges gives us numero uno.

Come on Sparty boy, to say you forecasted something that EVERYBODY knew is like saying that Tuesday comes after Monday is a forecast.

Sorry to the Michigan State troll, but when it is all said and done, Michigan State will not have the #1 recruiting class, even with Bridges. Having the number one ranked class in September when most of the elite players are still on the board means nothing, though it would be no lower than a Top-5 class. As of today at least, Duke, UK, and NC State are projected to have better final classes. And with that said, I will waste no more time replying to the troll, seeing as the aforementioned message will more than likely fly over his head, seeing as I didn't draw him pictures or write it in crayon.
 
This board has officially reach a new level of insanity and deplorable actions.

Sweet Jesus, going after each other's throats and playing armchair psychologist about the decision of a 17 year old over where to spend the next year playing basketball.

If you're so above it all, why do you keep coming back?

You'll vanish if Bridges picks Kentucky. Happens every time. Your type can't handle the prime time fights. Lots of pre-bout yapping followed by a 2nd round knock out.

What? You realize Izzo wants to rebound and run, right? Then if there's nothing there we run sets. Izzo's been doing that for 20 years.

I also want to apologize for COS. No point in trolling. I have no clue where MB will end up but wanted to read what was going on from the UK perspective.

Izzo wants to run as much as a snail does.

MSU has a 0.0% chance of having #1 class. That goes to UK or Duke. Nobody fears MSU recruiting.
 
Did Jerry Meyer switch his pick back to MSU?

No...he did not.

People keep seeing his "last pick tweets" & think he's speaking about himself. The tweets "last pick MSU" refers to latest pick on 247 by others.

Just go look at the crystal ball if you really want to know. Google is your friend

Considering Ulis is better than all 3 of those, it would seem pretty stupid of Izzo to pursue any of them before Ulis....

Oh, I'll be back. I can admit it when things don't go our way.
BTR it is the 14 th round of a 15 round fight.

LIke your friend say, take 2 and I will check back Monday
 
Ulis was a plan b to jones. Just like he was a plan b for coach cal. Let's not act like coach cal discovered ulis.

Losing out on our first choice turned out to be a blessing in disguise, in that particular case anyway. We got a great PG in Ulis, and Mudiay never played a game in college.
