whats become of thon maker?

[Bigblueforever]

We are both just guessing here, so I really don't understand why you keep questioning me. I don't know anymore than you do. I am just speculating.

I think Cal is pretty happy having three guys inside already in the fold. Now he is most likely going to sign another. I think we agreed on that point, but you kind of keep acting like we don't see eye to eye. Are you thinking we will add two or three more guys inside? Not sure what you are trying to say.

I'm not sure if Maker is at the top of the list or not. He shouldn't be above Giles or Adebayo, IMHO. I am sure Cal would take him if he committed, but I am not sure he wants him to commit before he gets the likes of Giles and Adebayo on campus.

I must not be making myself clear, because we seem to be on the same page, but you keep acting like we are arguing. I am sure it's probably my fault, I can ramble at times. My apologies.

Yes, I think we will add another high quality big. I don't know which one it will be. Cal is patient and I think he will continue to be patient waiting to see if he can get the big he really wants. Whether Maker is that guy, I am not sure.

By the way, I really enjoy your posts, though you sometimes come off as a little too argumentative sometimes. I think you make some good points, though.

I would love for Kentucky to get ether Giles or Maker.

I think I would take Giles or Adebayo over Maker. Giles seems pretty amazing, from what I have seen. I love how Adebayo attacks the rim. Just my opinion, based on my limited knowledge.

Let's look at numbers. Marcus Lee and Tyler Ulis may or may not come back after this year. No 1 knows. But very high chance Labissiere, Poythress, Murray, Briscoe will go. So Calipari should get back Hawkins, Mulder, Matthews, Willis, Humphries. Plus maybe Lee or Ulis. Counting Wynyard and Killeya-Jones, who are committed, that adds up to 7-9 players. That means Calipari can take 4-6 more besides the 2 current commitments. Looks to me like the class is taking shape now. Unless Simmons or Alkins commits to Kentucky in the next 6-8 weeks, I think the class will be Fox, Monk, Bridges, Wynyard, Killeya-Jones, plus another big. But there hasn't been much clarification about the final big. Giles will attend BBM, but will be tough to sign. Lot of other possibilities, Maker, Adebayo, Allen, Cage, Leaf, Gabriel, Bolden. Everyone has their opinion about this but no consensus forming yet. If forced to guess, I look to Maker because Calipari has recruited him for a long time, and because Maker and Murray were high school teammates. But that's really thin. It could be any of them.

I think we will sign five:

G Fox or Simmons
G Monk or Alkins
F Bridges or Alkins
F Adebayo, Maker, Leaf, or Gabriel
F Killeya-Jones(committed)

Of course this time last year, I thought Briscoe, Newman, Brown, Diallo, and Labissiere would be the most likely to join Matthews for our 2015 class. LOL!

If anyone would have told me we would sign a Canadian named Jamal Murray, I would have been scratching my head going "Jamal who?"

I'm not sure if the UA Elite 24 was a repeat last night, but he looked pretty solid. He was playing hard, running the court well. Some nice putbacks and defensive plays. I got the feeling that winning the game was more important than his stat line. His team was up up like 43 to 30.. The other team got an easy bucket and he was pissed. Even while they were comfortably ahead. I liked that.
