You have said you would like to have some UK gear. I'll be there Saturday...what size shirt do you wear? I feel like we owe you that for the great scoop on Gabriel. Plus it never hurts to convert a misguided KU fan to the good side.

Don't flirt with a potential violation, just tell him where he can buy the genuine articles.

UK isn't recruiting him, but thanks anyway Mark Emmert.

Bagley won't be there. He left Hillcrest after the NCAA investigated the place and found that the players weren't actually attending classes.

It will be interesting to see how that situation affects Bagley and DeAndre Ayton, who is still there.

Doesn't matter if they recruit him or not. If he is at a scholastic game and is a player and has contact with a "booster" and receives merchandise that can be construed as a violation for him and the university.

In that case I'll toss him some UofL gear.

the real question is who would actually tell the NCAA about this...

No joke...if this were true, I'd see to it that UofL stayed in trouble with the NCAA...uh, nevermind.

Marvin Bagley, the top prospect in 2018, was at Duke's game on Saturday, per a source. Was on their campus Friday as well.

Is ayton still a possibility now or has cal moved on to other bigs in the class...I remember ayton destroyed north Carolinas front court when he was just 15 year old..

Yes. Ayton is class of 2017. Duke and UK presumed leaders.

Easy to find. He's been top 5-10 in that class from the second anyone started rating it.

Drawn lots of comparisons to MKG, though considered more of a 4 than MKG ever was (MKG, as bad as his shot was, had pretty solid perimeter skills other than shooting coming out of HS).

Vanderbilt was a teammate of Fox on the Houston Hoops AAU squad, which, hopefully, is nothing but a good thing.
