wow UK missing on adidas guys......... at some point people will start believing adidas does everything possible to keep their kids away from UK
Fultz will take Humphries' spot after Humphries took Skal's starting spot.
Oh wait, wrong thread.
Oh wait, wrong thread.
he spent the entire summer playing for them. played for adidas the past few weekends.
That doesn't mean he's an Adidas guy. However, things between UK and him have cooled.
The change on 247 looks like the result of the mentor's comments. If Fultz is deadest on rejecting a visit to UK and pulls the trigger for Louisville, it's likely there's nothing our staff could have done to persuade him differently.
UK offered and there's been little beyond that. He hasn't scheduled an official visit and will decide soon. I say things haven't heated up.
Not if you buy the Adidas theorySeems Meyer was just a tad off on this one.
Oh well- his position is loaded and we're in great shape.

I'm not a Louisville fan so I don't fear the Shoe Boogie Man.
I feel that pun wasn't intended but it was very complex, nonetheless.
DC area ties with UL is related to Kenny Johnson-former Team Takeover guy who helped Crean get kids from DMV to Indiana. Now he's doing same for Louisville.
One thing I've noticed as a non UK fan who is on trail at events. When Robic is the guy who is at an event or tracking a kid in Summer, he's getting evaluated or isn't top target. Any truth to that/or am I just not giving him enough credit? Robic was at majority of Fultz games repping UK---while Payne and Barbee were watching the other guards. Wherever Payne is, that's guys I think UK covets most (other then Cal of course) and it's why the media members tweets mean little to me about where the HC are--more interested where top assistant is--as he's the one who does the grunt work and makes the initial contact/connections. Kids and parents love Kenny Payne.

You might get him, but you also believed Rick Pitino when he said that the current Louisville team had 8 future NBA players. Sort of invalidates your opinion, as it seems like you'd believe Rick if he told you their water boy was a future lottery pick.
Which if true, I think is a mistake on our part. Kid seems to be legit, and I feel like it will be difficult to pull Monk away from his Arkansas ties, even with all the current turmoil going on over there. A little over a week ago people seemed to think that Simmons/Fultz were virtual locks for UK. Recruiting's weird. Selfishly, if we don't land him, I hope he doesn't end of of UofL. Kid would be a likely one and done at UK or Arizona, and we all know Pitino's track record with freshman.

Meyer's article.

Kentucky is the other prominent school in Fultz's recruitment. He unofficially visited Lexington this spring, and Williams told 247Sports that it is unlikely Fultz will officially visit Kentucky. As Williams put it, "Markelle knows what he needs to know about Kentucky."

people are freaking out over the wrong stuff with recruiting.
we are one power forward away from being an absurd team for 2016

For what it's worth, Meyer is still sticking with his UK pick, for the moment anyway. If rumblings are true, I just can't conceivably see why the staff would cool on Fultz, short of landing a commitment from Monk yesterday. (No, I'm not trying to say that they did.) Smith seems to be a virtual lock for NC State, and the board's consensus, as of yesterday at least, was that they seemed to slightly prefer Fultz over Atkins.
Honestly, I feel Fultz is being lead away from UK. That's just my thinking with no official visit being set and what's being said. However, I feel different about Monk. Most of his interviews and brother's interviews make me think we lead for Monk.
Louisville's already on the verge of overtaking Kentucky in Fultz's crystal ball. ![[sick]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/sick/sick0006.r191677.gif "Sick [sick]")
In all honesty, I expected some people to flip to Louisville or Arizona while he was on his visits. But the rumors of UK seemingly cooling on Fultz and him not even giving them an official visit are worrying.

He unofficially visited Louisville as well, but needs to officially visit them again?
I hope you're right, as it seems like Monk's also being steered towards Arkansas.
With the number of guards we are involved with, I'm certainly interested in UK honing in on a PF.
It's fascinating to me. Adidas two biggest marketable NBA stars are John Wall and Derrick Rose. Cal played a big role in both of their reaches to Stardom, and the Kentucky effect certainly has not hurt. From a marketing standpoint, going to UK would build the players brand more than any Adidas school in the planet IMO.
I have no idea if UK has cooled on Fultz or if Fultz and his handler cooled on UK. Having no official visit schedule to UK is concerning.Louisville's already on the verge of overtaking Kentucky in Fultz's crystal ball.
