Caleb Wilson cancels on Arky again

He said Tuesday he is committing mid December or early January. His camp enjoys the attention they are getting(nothing wrong with that) so I bet this goes on until then. But you have to think he is a cat now for sure.
Yeah I probably jumped the gun but it seemed like timing pointed to a decision sooner than later. Probably just wishful thinking. He did say today it's not impossible he will decide in the early signing period.
 
One of two things:

1. He's ready to pick Kentucky or UNC.
2. He's merely rescheduling his Arkansas visit. I don't think he flakes out on visiting Arkansas for as long as he's been getting recruited by Calipari.

Does his love for Hubert Davis outweigh his love for playing with Lewis? I doubt it, but who knows. We've seen weirder things happen and recruiting, and to be honest, this one has felt uphill the entire way. If Pope snags Wilson, it will end up being one of the most "come from behind" recruitment wins in UK history. We didn't even have a chance at this kid as late as this summer.

Reading the situation it seems down to unc or Kentucky. Branham or Shaw or whoever published the article said the Arkansas isn’t expected to be rescheduled. Being in the building Tuesday and seeing Kentucky in person, I say Wilson is a cat and has been for a while now.

Obviously I hope you're right. This class could be incredible if they add Wilson.

Then you add three from the portal, bring back five, and we're a probable top 10 team next season.
 
Unc vs Kentucky battle down the stretch. If we get him. Make sure we let the tarheel fans know. Cause they are talking massive crap about our win against duke!

That’s the dream scenario for sure. Oweh coming back next year would be the icing on the cake
I'm not sure why it has to be a "dream" thought. Oweh is a tweener by NBA standards. Decent, but not great shooter. 6'5", which is small for an NBA three man, but he's also not an elite ball handler for the two-spot.

We've become so accustomed to marginal talent leaving that we expect every fringe g-league to leave, but Oweh isn't even a 2nd round pick at this point.

Meanwhile, programs like UConn routinely return their g-league-level guys. Why shouldn't UK under Pope expect the same, especially in a day-and-age where NIL can pay a kid like Oweh comparable salary to what the G-league can offer?

We need to change the way we look at these situations from here on out.

Calipari didn't know their game with Pacific was on Monday, he thought it was Saturday (go figure). He got confused and since there was no game I wonder if that's why he cancelled. Regardless Cal is so out of touch.
That could be it but my lord, let’s get him a front row seat to that boring arse offense.
 
Didn't Matt Jones hint at something being mentally off and then he stopped himself short? Now, to be clear, I don't want anyone to suffer with mental befuddlement or fog or dementia of any kind. I've seen that first hand in my father and I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemies. Ever. But If Cal is declining, folks need to know and he needs to step aside. I hope that's not the case. I really do. That would be sad and awful.
I definitely don’t wish that on Cal.

I’ve honestly felt like we were in the drivers seat all along in this one.
 
He didn't just forget which day. He also stated that he didn't know who they were even playing next! I think he has dementia or maybe Alzheimer's and have noticed his odd behavior for several years now. I hope he doesn't, but there is something not quite right there.
After seeing my father In law with both, he would have to be in really early stages. He is pretty sharpe outside basketball stuff, I just don’t think he cares about details anymore. Just coasting for a check now is the more likely answer. He’s not hungry anymore and hasn’t been since he finally won a title and the perfect season eluded him.

If Oweh keeps playing like he is, he’ll have plenty of NIL offers and make a killing in Lex. I think Pope is going to be able to retain players at a decent clip, even in this era of transfers.

What are they saying lol. You'd think they would be happy with Duke going down cause of us

So, do we want one and done recruits now? When did that change?

For some reason he tries to make it seem like he is super cool and calm when saying he doesn't know who they play and when they play. It's bideness! Looks to NOT have impressed Caleb Wilson at all. Good for us!
