De'Aaron Fox Cancels Arizona Visit

Someone else important said that to

Come on man. Don't leave us all hanging.

Unless something of the Louisville Stripper variety breaks at UK in next 2 weeks, Fox is a Wildcat. He's going to visit Kansas out of respect to the staff/program as they recruited him and they were his top choice along with Louisville--but he wanted that UK or Duke offer and wanted to play at those programs. UK came calling and it's been done for some time.

Is that your opinion? Or do you have a legitimate source? This is stated as a fact, not an opinion.

RDF has made this statement for some time. I was on the kid early last spring and had heard a version of this as well.

Search function screwing me.. but I have liked this kid for a long long long time.

You were the very first person to advocate for him on this board a while back. I had no idea who he was until I saw your post about him. At that time Cal had not even put the full court press for him yet because he and most of our fans thought Kobi Simmons was our guy.

I will be so happy if we get this kid. Tremendous athletic ability, and he has such a killer attitude.

Ball is on a string and he can flat get up. Streaky from the outside, but fearless all the way around.

Dude is elite. After I saw you mention him in that post I went straight to YouTube and watched his highlights and was blown away. We were hoping Cal would go after him instead of Simmons and literally 2 days later we offered him and made him our main target.

The kid is like a John Wall/Brandon Knight mix. Not saying he is as good or better but he certainly has the talent to be our best PG since those 2 and have a similar impact.

Speaking of opinions, it is of the opinion of some very reliable people that Kansas isn't going to land one single top 20 recruit for '16.

Now, what's your opinion if that proves true?

He's referring to Matt Jones on Periscope last night. MJ said he expects a Fox commitment within a week or two after BBM, maybe sooner.

If the Fox news is true, UK could strike out on all its remaining targets and still field a top 10 team next year. Fox, Matthews, Mulder, Hawkins, Gabriel, SKJ, Humphries, Wynyard.

Add a few more and UK is right there again. Cal is amazing.

Oh yes!

I honestly think Self expects most of his players back...minus Perry & Diallo

But of course he does.

Perry Ellis will find a nice position at Enterprise Rent-A-Car right outside of Lawrence, and Diallo will follow in Alexander's footsteps and drop from a unanimous lottery selection to completely undrafted, all thanks to Bill Self and his ability to "develop big men".

So a guy who is all but wrapped up for us will be hanging out this weekend with Bolden and Monk in Lolawrence, Kansas, then next weekend again at BBM.

Sounds good to me. Great chance for these future teammates to bond.

With all due respect to those calling their shot on an upcoming Fox commitment, it seems pretty clear we're in the driver's seat and the kid told Zagoria a few days ago it would be between his visits and the start of his season in early November.

Not that it ultimately matters, just clearing that up before it turns into "so and so predicted he would commit then or now" stuff.

 

[MWes11]

He's a Cat and has been for a while, imo. He loves Cal. Let's also not forget how good of a person he is. He invited a special needs classmate to his in home visit with Cal because the kid loved UK.

So Dave Kersey, zslab71 and kubbballfan all say Fox to UK has been done for a while!! Woohoo!! Good enough for me. This yr and next are gonna continue the amazing run we are on for sure!! GBB

Please for give him.

If UK adds Fox, Monk and Bolden,then UK is favorites to win it all again.

Ya think....

Depending on who comes back, it'll be Duke/UK #1&2 or vice versa.

 

[KMKAT]

I know this is a Fox thread, but I sure would like us to grab Simmons as well. Cal has been on him for awhile and yes, they can def both co-exist.

 

[Willy4UK]

I don't think Perry Ellis would be at an Enterprise, but I could see him in TJ Maxx. Depends on Bed, Bath, and Beyond.

Fox ain't got no time for some dime store dollars, he wants those NBA contracts.
