Scottie Barnes to Florida St

Why I don’t get caught up in any of this until someone commits.
Well I'll be a suck egg mule.
Some of these recruitments are like Twilight Zone episodes.

Odd timing to schedule a visit then commit. Weird
EDIT: Maybe he heard someone else was coming here and didn't want the comp. Banchero or Brown??

Not surprised that he committed to FSU; with everything trending positively for Kentucky, I still never thought they’d land Barnes. But it is kinda surprising he would set a visit then commit elsewhere so soon. Almost makes me wonder if Cal nixed the visit.
Either he just loves FSU or he heard something favoring UK's chances with a high level interior player (or both).
Based on what Boston said about the silent commitment stuff, one has to infer that the elite players are aware of the "secret" commitment.
Maybe the Brown-Cunningham phone stuff from yesterday got out? Or maybe Barnes just loved FSU's pitch?
Going to be an interesting couple of months.

The Calfather strikes again
We know he's already said adios to several kids he's offered. Very confident right now.
Your post calls for a throwback moment to the early 1990s. By the way, C and C music factory could also mean Clarke and Cunningham? Think about it....

Spots are there to be taken. Things change when players tell the staff they are in and Barnes was back/forth about UK all along. Talented guy, but not a guy ever expected to be in this class. Told a friend on this board other day I'd be surprised if this visit took place based on what I'd been hearing, so I take this as good news. Good luck to him, and great fit for his development. Hamilton and Staff do well with players like him. Oregon was to play with Green--which obviously is a hint Green is likely not going to end up there and doubt he plays CBB after things unfold.
Kinda odd to schedule an official visit then only to commit three days later. Hat on the table I guess
That was my 1st thought especially after the Cunningham ,Brown phone call as well as the Banchero smoke. Might be that those guys want to play with Cade so much that they've possibly given a silent to come with Cade
I would love for Oregon's coaching staff to end up with nothing when it's all said and done and have a horrific season.
They need to atone for their recruiting sins the last few years. Something like a 13-17 season would be just the thing to satisfy my petty desire for trivial vengeance.
Chess not checkers.
He's actually a good fit at FSU. Good development spot for long combo forwards with his skills, and it's close to home. No threat to us, helps them in the ACC against Duke, Carolina and Louisville.

He’s a good player. He does a lot of things well. None of his clips blow you away the way some of the other guys in the class do. I’d gladly have taken him. I didn’t think we’d get him and won’t be sad we missed here.
It's not petty my friend! It's called justice.

Not shocked. Never felt like he fit in
Brown, Banchero, Kuminga, Cade come forth

Fits my preferences:
Either pick Kentucky, or someplace you won't matter and rarely be heard from.

I don't think anybody actually thought this kid was coming to UK. Sure, someone schedules a visit and you entertain the thought, but that's just a natural reaction.
what's the Brown-Cunningham phone stuff? I have missed this tidbit
Hat on the table. I'm glad he went elsewhere, keeps things wide open for Paolo, Kuminga, Brown.
He didn't have one.Anyone know what Evan Daniels' crystal ball pick for Scottie was?
I think it was from a quote from Greg Brown's dad saying that they were going to talk to Cade as soon as he was back from Kentucky....
I think he also said that Cade to UK would mean an increase the likelihood of his son going to UK...
Yep. Plus we have quite a few wings in the fold already. We already have Fletcher, Boston and Clarke for the 2/3 spots. Allen will return. Plus you never know who will come back out of Juzang/Brooks/Whitney... I'd bet we'll see one of them return.
So Barnes was looking at a Kentucky team with quite a few mouths to feed, even if he can play the PF. I think we're all set from a wing perspective. We really just need a PG and some more true-post players.
FWIW, no one on HOB has ever said that Barnes was coming to Kentucky.
I think Barnes knows he's a 4 no matter where he goes. You play him the way you play a guy like Vanderbilt or Jonathan Isaac. Florida State will do it right, but I don't think us being heavy on wings is the reason he didn't come here. The role he'd have played is wide open, and it's the one we're selling Kuminga and others on.
Never paid a ton of attention to Barnes the second I heard the whole I am am a PG thing from a combo forward 's mouth. Not the kinda kid Cal was going to go all in on .
