You guys are up and down like a toilet seat. This roller coaster ride is giving me a stomach ache.

In that case, leave the toilet seat down.

you never made a booty call just before you dumped a girl? or even after?

I don't see him as a selfish user, no. He's been to SU multiple times. Why drive out here to sit with the folks he's going to reject? It makes no sense if he's got any integrity/sincerity. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.

This is still JB's team. It's his job to close on these recruits.

AMEN! I would say Gmac or Hop or whoever the lead guy with Quade was did their job. They had Quade on campus numerous times and had him drinking the Orange Kool Aid. JB is the closer. When he is put in position to close he is the guy that has to close the deal, no one else can do that.

[Fly Rodder]

Well, bad news comes in threes, so the rest of my weekend should be pretty swell.

Not sure of the schedule of events but I got it from this:

Time to be wrong!

Not getting Anderson might've cost us the 1990 NC. That very good team would've been unbelievable with him, but was weak at PG.

If I remember correctly, Stevie Thompson -- yes, Steve Thompson, started off playing the PG position that year. And I agree, with KA that team at least goes to the FF.

Re: Daniels -- I believe he is just going by the way of the message boards and the "trends" on certain sites -- doubt he has any insider information.

I am as well. pretty cold blooded if after all this, he turns on cuse and the staff last min. if that's the case, it's not like we don't have pg next yr that's pretty good and only getting better...he just might have to play a lot more

Hes extremely plugged in with the whole scene (coaches, friends, family, handlers) you name it

Fwiw, Mike lindsely is talking to Quade coach this evening and Quade retreated it

Five-star point guard Quade Green is expected to announce his college choice tomorrow evening.

Need me to bring you some rocks to kick?

If he chooses UK, he is going to have to change his name to Quad-B.

Exactly. We've been on him/loyal to him. He's been plugged in at SU forever and is obviously comfortable here after multiple visits. He also returned here after the blue madness scene. So up until the last couple days, I really liked our chances. But then again, there's the whole UK alure .. the WWW, the D-League hype circus in Lexington, the fact that he'd have no-classes, etc.. And I'm thinking that's not him. But we'll see.

Anyone who protests the decision is a dangerous person.

Sunday: Me protesting because things didn't go according to how I planned.

I am not kidding. Ellis was a stiff and as great as Coleman was he could be a brooding headcase who would disappear. Even with Anderson, my cynicism about those JB teams back then says we would have found a way to screw it up. On paper, you are correct, that would have been the best team in the country.

Don't really agree about Ellis (liked his game and think we didn't use him to the best of his abilities), but your broader point stands, despite the fact that it's not a popular one. Great team on paper, but teams of that era were missing something more than a point guard.

Back to the topic, it's not the end of the world if we miss out on a recruit. We've got a decent core coming back and we're going to fill roster spots with someone. Hopefully they're closer to the Hakim Warrick end of the spectrum than the Mark Konecny end.
