Adidas is going to end up costing us again: Tracy McGrady, Bazz Muhammad, Andrew Wiggins, and now Peterson.
Is there any reasonable way a Nike school could sign an Adidas endorsed player?
Thanks for the information. I think he ends up at Kansas but I hope I'm wrong.Just heard something about NIL deals regarding this subject the other day. I believe Edwards has an NIL deal with New Balance and Reeves just signed with Puma or Reebok (IIRC).
Cannot remember what talking head said it but basically NIL deal is totally separate from school sponsor. It isn't a deal to wear gear on court.
So I do not think this will be impactful to where he goes...but that is just based off what I shared above.
That's huge news. If we land this kid, Adidas will be pissed.Kentucky to get official visit from Darryn Peterson, who models game after Devin Booker and SGA
Will the Cats land the top-five player?www.aseaofblue.com
Does he have prior felonies? That is why Kansas or is he a assholeThanks for the information. I think he ends up at Kansas but I hope I'm wrong.
i hope not. he’s good. smoother Monk.Thanks for the information. I think he ends up at Kansas but I hope I'm wrong.
Think they have a shot with Peterson. Getting a visit is huge, and with the way the guards are playing it could be a great pairingAdidas is going to end up costing us again: Tracy McGrady, Bazz Muhammad, Andrew Wiggins, and now Peterson.

I hope the Cats can somehow how land him.I cant see him here but others who are paid for there opinions think UK is still a possibility.
That’s good new then, the only difference being that Puma and NB don’t sponsee college teams. If it was any apparel outside Adidas I’d feel much better.Just heard something about NIL deals regarding this subject the other day.

I get that but we would have to have one type of Jersey, I will say that Nike makes the best gear to buy at least. Adidas gear sucks, asks IU fans about trying to find nice stuff to buy.In the wake of all this NIL stuff, can we do away with schools favoring a specific shoe brand now?
Screw it, custom make a different shoe from Nike, Adidas, Puma, Sketchers even.. let the players pick, it just has to be blue and white. Give them 50 pairs.
I know that's not how it works, but I'd love to get from out of Nike's thumb while they help out every other school.
If he plays anything like Monk I’m all about it. He’s my favorite SG ever here! Dude was a sniper and so athletic, just electric. I would have loved to have Dillingham in that backcourt with Fox and Monk.i hope not. he’s good. smoother Monk.
Easy now…Malik was other worldly athletic and was a nasty slashing guard. I don’t think Peterson is in the same area code as far as that goes. Jmo.i hope not. he’s good. smoother Monk.
That’s why I said smoother.Easy now…Malik was other worldly athletic and was a nasty slashing guard. I don’t think Peterson is in the same area code as far as that goes. Jmo.
Source re Kansas? I have heard nothing concrete about Kansas leading for him. In fact, the posts above says that UK has led for Peterson all along and it appears that nothing has changed. This late, Peterson would not schedule an official visit unless he was serious about UK. He was in Lexington for BBM and has had 2 1/2 months to consider his options. His comments about wanting to get to the NBA with a max-contract and his admiration of Booker, SGA, and Cal's ability to turn out max-contract NBA players is, IMO, a very positive sign.Does he have prior felonies? That is why Kansas or is he a asshole
To me, Jasper should be the priority for '25.Cal up and goes to watch Johnson versus Peterson. Johnson hits 10 threes and scores 37 points against Peterson's team. Was Peterson guarding Johnson?
I hope he’s little Shep part deux.Some are over looking Travis Perry.
I don't expect Perry to be Reed Sheppard - how many freshmen ever are at that level out of the gate - but the way he is constantly in motion and the way he shoots makes me think he can contribute even as a freshman.Some are over looking Travis Perry.
Very much so. Not only is he a great shooter, he is a basketball player. Cal hasn’t had many like him lately.Some are over looking Travis Perry.
Was Peterson guarding Johnson? How was Peterson's game, excluding his defense, assuming he was the one guarding Johnson?Cal up and goes to watch Johnson versus Peterson. Johnson hits 10 threes and scores 37 points against Peterson's team. Was Peterson guarding Johnson?
I hope we can somehow get him away from Duke but it’s not looking good according to some of the recruiting guru’s.Duke Now Looks Like 'Team to Beat' for Explosive Prep
Earlier this week, Rivals' Rob Cassidy ranked the Duke basketball recruiters last among the three finalists for Long Island Lutheran (N.Y.) senior VJ Edgecombe.www.si.com
I tell you what though, that timeline this early in Janurary is exactly how me and @BigKari felt like would be good for us. It’s within a short timeframe of when we got some momentum at least. Cal just went and seen him so I at least hope he was informed to move on then se we don’t waste time getting a replacement. I’d really love to get this kid though. It appears as if we need some random good news to pop up before then as the crystal balls all favor Puke. 🤮Duke Now Looks Like 'Team to Beat' for Explosive Prep

Yup I gave it 20 days when he announced his top 3!! If he announces on the 15th, I believe the would be the 20 day mark. So to reiterate, if he doesn’t announce at the Hoophall classic as expected, we can forget about it. But as it stands, all the talk is Duke anyway. However, if Cal pulled the steal then it’s already a done deal and the timeline lines up just about precisely with how the typical UK commitment process goes. So given this news, I’m not writing us off. But, it’s been made clear Duke was on him from the jump and Kentucky was more of a late player. I used to get stressed about recruiting when I was in my teens and early 20s, but for years now I’ve just watched the whole landscape with interest but I’m totally “let the chips fall where they may”.I tell you what though, that timeline this early in Janurary is exactly how me and @BigKari felt like would be good for us.

Had what I would call a “passive insider” for a few years who would share tidbits that happened to fall into her lap. It helped me learn quite a bit about recruiting as a result, especially the behind the scenes stuff. The main takeaway though was to not get invested in any particular recruit.
