I thought the same thing.From what the coach had said Kirk was all excited about visiting Uk and to have him all of a sudden sign with NC state was odd to say the least.
There were multiple tweets saying that a scout analyst was saying Brown to UK was confirmed. Loney stated that Scout was making no such statements.
I'm not nervous, as I was never expecting Brown to come to Michigan in the first place. I'm just pointing out that the tweets that sent twitter in a frenzy don't hold much credibility.
Actually UM seems to be the consensus pick among those in the "know".
If you find the link to the "Brown Door" let me know. I watched the "Coach Cal Door" day and night.
Not too long ago 247 had us almost even for him, and now they have UM at 58% and us at 30%. FWIIW.
Yeah, I'm aware, and I'd be ecstatic. I'm just saying that Michigan got skin the game late in the cycle and it never really seemed like it was a legit possibility. When LeVert announced his return, that was enough for me. Anything else would be gravy and I wasn't expecting Brown to continue with his Michigan interest. I don't get nervous playing with house money.
@hailtoyourvictor actually went on record on the national board saying he didn't think Michigan would get brown.
Might be the only thing he has been right about since 1994.
You do realize that everyone that flipped to Kansas didn't change their pick until Monday or tuesday, right? Or can you not read?

Lol what?
StraightHoops source said "I'm hearing Diallo to Kansas" 4/27/15 at 4:54 P.M.
At that time, 10 of the 17 Crystal Ball predictions for Kansas were already in. Two predictions were made the morning of the 27th which started the trend. Acting like it was some sort of revelation pick by StraightHoops is ridiculous, even for you.
You know, because Williams was found to be making stuff up/embellishing his resume.
Well, it was said before the trend started. It's not like Diallo didn't always have Kansas picks. He still had Kansas picks when many said it was down to Kentucky and St.John's.
I hope the straighthoops guy was not going off the fake twitter commitment from earlier today. Apparently many people believed it because the twitter handle was very close to Brown's real one.
I wouldn't say that's the case, because StraightHoops didn't claim to know, or say he seen it. Just that he heard a rumor that Brown would pick UK.
Only 2 of the 9 that switched their pick between 4/19 and 4/28 did so before straight hoops sent their tweet and both did so on 4/27 (there were no changes to Kansas between 4/19 and 4/27)
Or are you ignorant enough to think that Chris Bunn had inside information last July?
No, two flips Monday morning (before the the StraightHoops tweet) started the trend. StraightHoops tweeted "I'm hearing Diallo to Kansas" over 5 hours after the 2nd flip.
Again, it takes more than being right on Ingram (obvious) and Diallo (trending) to be a reliable source. I'd be impressed if he called Newmon to Miss St., but I'm not surprised we don't see a single Newman tweet.
So you agree that people were calling Diallo to Kansas before StraightHoops and flipping to Kansas the same morning StraightHoops made their tweet?
I'm not an alarmist and I think Kentucky will be fine, but it's disappointing that the best UK-related news I've had all month might or might not have come from an anonymous Twitter account that might or might not be parroting a fake Twitter account.
I post on the National Board and there are some good UK posters there. I came here to get other perspectives on Brown, as there are some very solid posters here, too. I don't think my posting has been out of line.
No? That's not what I said. I'm saying it takes more than picking Ingram to Duke (obvious) and Diallo to Kansas (trending) to be a credible source.
