Jaden McDaniels announcement date
- Thread starter 21crobe0
- Start date
Was just coming to post this.
UK's official twitter account being a bit brazen here about recruiting.
This basically confirms for me that we got McDaniels. They wouldn't post something like this if there was a chance they'd lose out on a top-5 recruit just days later.
It’s not over yet but thanks to the FBI for making recruiting normal again lol
Yeah, hopefully the fear of everyone potentially wearing a wire, gets the recruiting shite right again!
But like I said, I don't think they'd post this if there was a chance we'd lose a top 5 talent to a school like Washington or San Diego State just days later. That's just asking to be the butt of every recruiting joke for the next few months.
I don't think Cal is sharing any insider info with whoever runs the UK twitter account. I think they're being happy we got the #1 recruiting class once again.
Additionally, FWIW, JM is not top 5 on ESPN/Rivals or 247
Yeah, but that's only looking at this from our need. Of course as fans we can use Blackshear and stash Sestina/Richards on the bench. But how does that truly work out?
I guess we can certainly get KB to come here, but I think someone else has to leave (or will leave), either EJ stays in the draft or I could see Sestina deciding to go elsewhere. Sestina committed here before we grabbed McDaniels, Juzang and Boorks (I think).. now I know those guys don't play the same position.. but adding more guards might push guys like Whitney and Brooks into the 3-4 positions as times.. which will affect the the PF/C position.
Been done a while.McDaniels WILL be a cat... woke up , checked HOB and ....
Juzang buzz for UK--some posters come posting it's been done.
McDaniels buzz for UK--some posters come posting it's been done.
Funny how they've got inside info but can't post it anonymously until 247 states it.
I was way ahead on JM. Even posted about the trainers before anyone was even talking about them. Ive said all I can say on here, not going to betray someones trust with things they've asked me to keep off here especially if I posted it a lot would just find ways to give me shit about it.

My apologies, Top-10 (as if it really matters.)
And I'm not sure you know exactly how those twitter guys work.
Team SID's (Sports Information Directors) run the twitter account, and they are very in-tune with the team. He/She will travel with the team, they are at almost every practice, they're in the locker room before and after every game, they are constantly in the coaches offices helping them put stuff together, and they talk to the coaches on staff more than just about anybody else in the athletic department.
Ever notice those graphics and videos they do on all the guys that signed? Did you notice how quickly they posted ones for Juzang?
Do you think the twitter guy just magically put all of that together (hours worth of work for anyone who knows high level video like that) in 20 minutes following the announcement?
Or is it far more likely that the coaching staff communicated to the SID WELL in advance that Juzang had committed already and that he was announcing it Friday, to give him enough time to put everything together for it and draft a press release?
But you're right, I'm sure the twitter guy knows nothing.
It is funny people say I am sunshine pumper but I think yall are damn crazy for thinking we are getting blackshear . EJ and RIchards with Sestina brooks and mcdaniels is a top 5 front court. That is 1 top 10 pick , another who could be a top 20 pick in 1-2 years , a top 4 grad transfer , EJ who was a top 10 recruit and Richards who was a top 20 recruit and a player who has gotten better in year 2 then year 1. Now if for some reason EJ stays in the draft I am sure Cal will put on the full court press for Blackshear but I suspect he stays in the draft and goes overseas if he can't make an NBA team . But who knows all I am saying is counting on Blackshear is a full's errand.
To be fair @Rupp'sRunt has been on the McDaniels/UK beat now for months. Whether that means he has inside info, who knows? But he didn't try to ride the wave in.
It's true.He posted one to me when everyone was acting like it was a done deal to Washington.
I've been on this board or its predecessors since the Jamal Magloire recruitment. Every so often some one will take all the publicly existing information, make a few safe guesses, and try to ride that into the posture of an 'insider.' The only true insider I can ever remember in more than 20 years was the kid who came out of no where and ended up being a high school teammate of Wenyen Gabriel. Everyone else has eventually been exposed or lost the trust of even the most gullible. So, just be patient and it'll happen again.
Feel free to dig there's more. Top post from Feb.26th
Mcdaniels was a safe guess in February? You should've "guessed" lol
He also called Hagans way early last year. People gave him crap for that too.
JM to commit Wednesday is the bombshell news I'm sure but I thought that was pretty common knowledge on here.
In his defense, EVERYBODY picked Knox to Duke. I don't remember one crystal ball pick for Kentucky. Maybe I'm wrong.
About the only one I remember he missed. He’s like 98% I’m crystal ball picks. Only recruiting analyst I trust.
Back in 2011 he called Marquis Teague race 60/40 in favor of UofL. And that was when a lot of people where flipping their picks to UK.
The Knox pick is difficult to hold against anyone. It's not like Evan went against the tide on that one.
Quite frankly if we are nitpicking one or two picks per class. Then that means he's very good at his job and someone we should pay attention to when he makes a pick.
It really is ever since Sisk came. There are another handful that really know their stuff there too.
Why does anybody have to link proof to you you either believe him or not many of us believe him. Get over yourself
