Message: [QUOTE="Jake, post: 1271128, member: 86"] Eh. There was a point in time where Noel was thought to be a very strong lean to us, we thought we had him. But more than a couple of weeks prior to his announcement, the lines of communication between he and our staff went suddenly dead...which is always the kiss of death. Happened with D Sims, Tobias Harris...etc. Word started to leak out that it was Gtown...which it was until about 3 hours before his announcement. Read into that what you will. But he was never a "silent commit to us". Bryant is 50/50. Strange recruitment. If it were a slam dunk, he'd already have announced. There's a reason that different schools keep popping up...IU, Kentucky, Kansas is snooping around. If he were a lock, those schools wouldn't waste time and resources. We were "this" close to getting Davis before he blew up on the circuit. Then Cal made that kid his #1 priority...UK doesn't lose those kinds of battles. [/QUOTE]
