No offense but....really? I firmly disagree. He was a major target.Originally posted by bigblueinsanity:
No inside info but I don't think he was ever a priority target. I wouldn't be surprised to learn he had only a contingent offer.
LoL, yeah sure .Originally posted by bigblueinsanity:

I remember reading from several of the recruiting guys that they believed he was one of Cal's favorite. I hate when our fans act like this.Originally posted by bigblueinsanity:

Definitely grace, he was a major target, to say otherwise makes us all sound like sour grapes, bad form.Originally posted by gracetoyou:

Oh well...hoping for some good news on Maker
Ditto for me.Originally posted by Aike:
I never got too invested in this guy's recruitment. I know others did. Wish him well.
Its HOME AND THAT IS WHERE MAMA IS!!...You an never fault a kid for this...Kids have to do what they think is best for them...Originally posted by gracetoyou:
If he chose UCLA I could somewhat understand.
If he chose Arizona I could understand.
UNLV...makes no sense at all. I'd love to hear the line of bull they were fed to buy into a crappy program.
I didn't for the longest time.Originally posted by Aike:

He should be banned for stupidity alone.Originally posted by yoshukai:
It's not official until caneintally says it is !!
I'm not. It's a guess. I think Cal wants Maker and Newman. The rest were/are backup plans.Originally posted by Cats192:

We missed. Let's not be babies.
I would like to think criticism didn't play a role in his decision. What those of us on here say about a kid should go in one ear and out the other. The only criticism a player should ever worry about is that coming from his coaches.Originally posted by Wall2Boogie:
Here's a question. We all remember Alex legion, and his mom and her prophecies about UK and how we would win it all with legion there. I also loved her comment about not wanting bcg to destroy his lucrative nba career lol. I know these kids moms go to bat for these kids, in your opinion is it a blessing in disguise that he didn't come to UK? We all know how parents are if their kid isn't getting 40 mins. With simmer and mom being all over social media and involved in everything he does, is it a hidden blessing he didn't land here? We all know some of our fans and how they go off the deep end when we're bashing a kid because he didn't walk fast enough, cheer hard enough, or any other flaw he might have. I think he will be a good player, but with his mom being a social media queen, it owouod take one bad game in which we criticize his flaws. Could criticism possibly played a role in his decision?
At least he's no threat to steal a W from UK now.Originally posted by ukfan041:
Really wanted to get the guy, but like others have said, at least he isn't going to Zona or KU! Off to UNLV where he will be in the national conversation as much as Rashad Vaughn!
Yet another totally classless post.Originally posted by ZaytovenCat:
He is one of the biggest mama's boy I've ever seen. Mommy fought so many Twitter battles for him. That would embarrass the hell out of me if I were him. But no doubt Cal wanted him and he's a huge miss. He's the only big left that could produce on offense. Much rather have him than Maker or Diallo and especially Thorne. I think it's clear that Cal and other coaches were told where he was going a week or so ago. That would be why he started recruiting Thorne at that time. Honestly, people "stealing his moment" is what he deserved if he knew for the last few weeks and didn't announce it. If you wait just to build suspense and string people along then it's fair game.
As for Caneintally. I wanted to ask u before this announcement if you wanted to make a bet? If you were right and we got Zim and Newman then u could choose for me to make my signature whatever you'd want it to say and I'd have to leave it that way until BBM. And if we missed on both then the same would apply to you. We can still do the same for Newman if you're feeling lucky?
