So no Maker any more

[cacats]

It is too late for Thon Maker to call Cal to recruit him. All positions are filled.

 

[zannmann]

Rumor is he has a lot baggage and is an eligibility risk.

Perfect Kansas recruit

I can't believe Self is recruiting this dude after all the trouble he's had with Alexander and Diallo.

 

[Ben101er]

Perfect Kansas recruit

He will be another Diallo, for Self.

 

[Willy4UK]

Yep, love Self's positive approach.

"It won't happen this time"

 

[W_Heisenberg]

We aren't recruiting him..for very good reasons.

Look at where he's projected..ASU taking a flier on him because they have to.

 

[Indy Cat]

Just of the Mark variety

Cal has persuaded him to join the team as a preferred walk-on.

 

[UKCatsFan10]

I think Cal has just lost his edge in terms of recruiting...

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Don't care how good he is. This Kentucky class and returnee's are good enough to win the title. Why risk the baggage?

 

[screwduke]

Kansas type of recruit.

I love how we've all decided this kid is garbage but many of the same people were begging to get him a year ago. He's a good player, maybe not lived up to the hype but come on. And Diallo's situation is garbage and we would be threatening to burn down the NCAA if he had chosen UK (as was expected at one point).

Self is pulling his hair out trying to get kids eligible.

I was wondering about Thon Maker too, it's amazing how nobody is talking about this kid. At one time he was the #1 recruit. Those issues must be bad.

All spots filled... Kobi as the number 3 guard next year...?

 

[CatPhight]

Rumor I heard was Maker can't make it academically.

That's what some WERE saying.......about 6 months ago.

I have never been a fan of Maker, and that's all about his game, not the baggage. I think he was always overhyped and an Internet legend.

But as for Diallo, you are exactly correct. It's typical NCAA garbage. There is absolutely no reason he shouldn't be playing basketball right now. Just because it's happening to a rival (and not us, for a change) doesn't make it right.
