If anyone here thinks this means he’s a lock, they’ve been asleep the last 12 months.

Yup took me years to stop getting my hopes up for recruits. I know Cal is gonna do his thing and more than likely we will be in good shape.
Thank for sharing Dave much appreciated! Usually where there is smoke there is fire !
Also if y'all love speculation with no specificity then let me kindly direct you to twitter dot com. You can have your fill of anonymous Kentucky accounts posting stuff like this.
I mean think most have thought ( those that are smart enough and well enough informed to have these thoughts not me ) that Banchero was coming to UK one way or another it was just a question of the year. And as others have said he isn't going to say he is reclassing now but we will know the truth come late July . He still says that at that point then he is our best commit in the 2021 class instead . Either way we win most likely.
I will say UK has to have some big they think they are getting or we wouldn't have guys like Cliff O on the back burner .

Growing louder. It'll be chatter by Sunday. Probably go silent for a while after that.
The voices in Dave’s head that he keeps mistaking for recruiting sources.
Maybe Banchero is watching a Washington team with 2 stud big men go 12-14 so far and thinking do I really want to stay home and lose 20 games in my one and only college season.
If people dislike a certain poster they should just put them on ignore instead of acting like assholes.
OTHheroics - UK Wildcats #BBN on twitter is where Dave got this info this morning
Dave again, please it a rest dude.
Dave again, please it a rest dude.
It should also be noted that Paolo has replied back to this twitter account ...the guy is prob making it all up like dave does
He could be lurking.. I was on life support for 3 days and within an hour of waking up I was on here from withdrawls that came up in an hour,, lol.. I didn't post any that whole month stay in hospital.. Side note,, Micheal Jackson milk is gooooood.. N speedy recovery,, boogie..
Sorry to hear about Boogie. Hope he gets well soon.
Noise is usually just that....
But, I’m out of the loop this time of the year and Dave always has his ear to the ground. Good to see you posting, Dave. Hope you are getting some fishing in, too!

It is becoming common practice for elite recruits who are considering a move up in class to wait until after the spring/summer circuits to announce such a move. Otherwise, they would be deemed ineligible to participate and it could effect their overall ranking.
Aside from that, some recruits have placed high value on achieving immediate goals within reach. It's Cal and his staff's job to convince certain recruits to forego these goals to move closer to the ultimate prize. Yes, you can stay in high school and dominate inferior competition but does that facilitate growth as a player and get you closer to becoming a paid professional?
I think in the end Banchero will ultimately reclassify and join UK's 2020 recruiting class because time is money. Like Cal always says, "it isn't about the first contract you sign, rather the second." The quicker you can secure a second contract the better you've done to optimize your basketball career.

For what it’s worth (not much), I have a friend who is a Gonzaga grad and follows their recruiting as closely as we follow UK. He tells me that every time Banchero visits Spokane he tells anyone who asks that he’s going to Gonzaga.
That lines up with exactly how he acted when he visited UK, telling everyone that he was coming to Kentucky.
I think that’s just what he does every time he visits. Maybe it’s a mechanism to help him decide where he feels most comfortable. Maybe he’s just a nice kid that wants to make his hosts happy. But I get the feeling our “insiders” are putting to much weight on the positive vibes he gives off on visits. I’m still hopeful that we get him. He’s a game changer. But chatter, whispers, and rumblings haven’t paid off much recently.

Yep . What I do .. Nothing wrong with it . Better to do that then let them get under your skin and then make posts that make you look like the asshole .
I mean they sure have paid off in 2020 class. I do agree less so for the 2018/19 but those 2 years were outliers and we still loaded up on talented . And it sure sounds like they are paying off for 2021 with the likes of Hardy , BHH and others. But yes it ain't over til its over.
I would believe Dave before a lot of other posters on here. Sometime the things you hear always don't turn out the way it is told. Dave is not been one to just throw something against the wall.
I believe the player, when they commit. Other than that, notsomuch
I think it’s purely altruism. They aren’t being cynics, or assholes, though it may seem to be just that. It’s really acting out of love and concern - they are so worried someone might be led astray that they just have to let everyone know the truth. That’s my preferred inference. Heh.
I just get irritated people believe this guy. I knew as soon as I came across that account that posted that yesterday I'd see a post from Dave today and sure enough the first time I sign on here it is....and here again are the people believing him. Like I said I even took a screen shot of as soon as I seen it to add to the post that I knew for certain dave would make today but I can never figure a way to post a pic. Instead I put the account name he got the info from
Not going to be a popular opinion but self is going to the nba,see I can say stuff that no average fan knows nothing about.
I’ll take banchero whenever he’s ready,also maybe the kid just wants to be a kid for the last time
The Washington that landed studs Isiah Stewart and McDaniels who I rarely hear about now while UW has amassed an impressive 12-15 record, 2-12 in the hardcore Pac 12 and after tonight have lost 9 straight. I heard they are going for 10 in a row and nothing can detour them from it.
I can't see anyone wanting to go to that joke of a program after this implosion. Hell, they make Texas look good LMFAO.
Who then? You? We fans are all that matter. That's what the games are for? You here to discuss the recruit or bash fellow fans?
That's exactly what I had to do. You give these people the benefit of the doubt, but they continue to bash, bash and bash UK fans some more. Some people are just miserable lots in life, they never grow out of that bullying stage.

Do you really think that matters to them if they win or loose a game?? They aren't pushed hard to play college games & will be millionaires in a couple months that's what matters to them.
