It's gamesmanship. Cal doesn't want people knowing what his pitch to Barrett is.
That he'd tell Barrett that is otherwise too hard to believe.
Jmo.
I hop you're correct...if otherwise it's worrisome

I feel the same...hope I'm wrong. Have this sick feeling Duke already has their class put together. Think they're getting a massive help from NIKE & USA basketball folks. Let me rephrase, I don't think I know. If Zion ends up there also you know Coach K is retiring or $$$$$ is involved.
Agreed. I'm sick of every recruiting thread turning into a Duke thread. I'm spending less time on this board because of it, to be honest.
Good guess. Best selling shoes, movie deal, dominated headlines all summer, been in the finals the last 3 summers.
I mean...let's be honest.

Not trying to flame guys , but face it he will be at Duke write it down done deal.
One of the many trolls here.
I am told every day that Cal doesn't recruit. He just tells WWW who he wants. Wes then pays a middle man hundred of thousands in pre paid debit cards and then the kid commits to UK.I'm really going to get violently ill if he also chooses puke
Nike wanted Reddish at UK, Lebron did too. That's why they were meeting with him. Look at Klutch sports client list, it's a who's who of UK players and Rich Paul was pushing for Kentucky for that reason.

Slater is that you? If it is not, you need to quit posting premium content on other sites free boards.
That's still only one.
From Barrett's feedback it sounds like Cal was just like you described. Which seems extremely unlikely. So maybe Barrett is trolling Duke?I mean if you really think the best recruiter of all time had his top priority on campus for an entire weekend as his first official visit and just didn't have anything planned or know what to say to the kid, then feel free to believe that, I guess. Sure it caught Cal by surprise that RJ just walked up to him one morning and he had never even heard of the kid.
I think my selling point would be, look at Duke players in the NBA & how they do. Then look at UK players & how they do. You're going to be a professional basketball player. Something to think about.
Outside of Kyrie...Duke players do not adjust well for whatever reason. Phil Jackson actually made the statement at one time. Sure, we've both had some disappointments but UK has more success stories than Duke. Say what you want there's a reason.

From Indiana.Coach suck K prolly is telling recruits he wants to go 40-0 before he retires and selling them to be super team. Oh wait where he get that from..hhhmmmmm....Duke sucks!
Not worried about wings. Thinking more stay than go in the draft.Losing him to Duke would suck but what would suck even more is to strike out on 4 major wing players in him, reddish, williamson and langford. Gotta get one of those 4.
If that happened, after Cal put all his chips in on him, you'd wonder how he'd react.I was told Barrett isn't going to UK.
I was told Barrett isn't going to UK.
I was told he was.
See how easy that is?
I'm sorry but by what credible source? We have people say they were told something on a daily basis. That was pretty vague.I was told Barrett isn't going to UK.
So is TJ and others that say UK feels good about him still. So a a vague I was told doesn't carry much weight. He might not come here but I doubt Ralph's source knows for sure. Most people think Barrett doesn't even know yet.Ralph is a credible source. You are not.
stick by my friend and he's diehard BBN....and he's been frustrated by what's been going on..but it is what it is. Getting outworked happens...time to shak

That's what I'm talking about. So just because a recruit doesn't pick U.K. They are being outworked?!?!This is my fear of late. Don't like to hear about 'getting outworked'. Hopefully that's just a simple way of saying we had a lot of ground to make up with Oregon.
Fair enough but some of those points were pretty well known.Sometimes can't elaborate..but friend was told he's not going to UK. Same friend who had info on Bam, Monk, Briscoe being an issue, Bam definitely leaving school, Bagley re-classifying, so I've got no reason to doubt him. He shared what he had heard and it was believable. Hopefully things change for UK/BBN but as of today heard UK wouldn't be where RJ will go to school.
Fellas, I don't know what Barrett will do anymore than any of you guys. But there has to be a reason that the UK insiders are confident and sticking to their guns on this one. TJ Walker, Matt Jones, and Chris Fisher all believe that Barrett will be at UK next year barring a surprise. I don't think he's a lock by any means, but taking his short comments and saying "that's it, he's going to Duke," is just preposterous.
