Class of 2017 PG Quade Green (PA) Verbaled to Kentucky

[cusetown1]

why?

I would think it would be a good sign

 

['CuseHoops]

I haven't seen any journalist proclaim he's definitely going to Kentucky... mostly just predictions. I could be wrong, I just haven't been scouring the Internet.

One of the guys that cover SU for scout said hes a lock to UK.

Not a good sign

Boeheim's son plays for North Hampton Prep, then Diallo plays the game after.

 

[RaleighSUfan]

Not a good sign

I'd settle for either one at this point... we just need to fill the stable.

 

[nyucuse]

Not a good sign

Means JB is still fighting for a good class. I don't see any negative in it. May relate to QG but equally could just be that he needs a 2G and Diallo is the one still standing - nothing to do with QG.

Oddly, perhaps, that's part of Cal's recruiting pitch. Come to Kentucky, and you'll be part of a team. If you want 30 minutes or 20 shots a game, if you want the spotlight on you and not on your teammates, you need to go someplace else. Apparently that works with some recruits. Kentucky gets enough of them certainly. But it wouldn't be a selling point if Quade really wants to be the man. Whether he does or not, I suppose, is the question.

Honestly, losing Quade is one thing but the reality of losing prospects that may have followed him is a shot to the gut. He was the building block to a potentially great recruiting class and now Hammy prob goes Wilcat for sure

I think Bernie Sanders needs to put a cap on the number of 5 star players they can sign!

Seriously doubt we have any chance with Diallo without Green.

Whatever chances SU had at Diallo and Bamba are basically reduced to < 5% with Quade announcing to UK tonight. I think it's time to go all in on Jordan Tucker, and call and beg Coleman and Duval to reconsider SU.

Done deal ...He's going to Kentucky.
The coaches at Neumann were pushing for the Cuse. Cal promised the NBA in two years and never mentioned education at all. From an inside source ...I never post ...just don't want everyone wasting their energy on this kid.

I wonder what Cal promised Briscoe two years ago, who was the #1 PG in the country? Sure he'll remember those words when he goes undrafted and is playing in Iran within 2 years.

What is exactly wrong with Cal still being associated with college. Get that SOB an NBA job and out of the NCAA!!

Flynn = 2 YRs = NBA
Waiters = 2 YRs = NBA
MCW = 2 YRs = NBA
Mali = 1 YR = NBA

oh well

 

[Cusesky8214]

We need another good confirmation post from O13 so we can keep this roller coaster ride going until the announcement...this has been nuts

 

[EastCoast2]

Flynn played 2 years. And you missed Ennis.

Knew I was forgetting someone...So if Quade doesn't make it to the NBA in 2 years can he take it back? lol

I mean if that's all it took on Tuesday night to sway this kid, then I really doubt he was that set on the Cuse as we may have thought. I doubt he was thinking he was playing 3 years here.

But how could he be successful with contracts that bind him to players for more then a year or two?

It's undoubtedly more than anything that has to do with basketball or the basketball experience that led Quade to UK.

Note to staff:
Recruit more kids, recruit more areas than just the Northeast, don't recruit kids that like warm weather...

 

[PA Orange]

Cal went in with a binder filled with NBA contracts...never once mentioned school/education. I hope to God my source was trying to break my balls but he's a Nova guy who wanted the package deal with Cosby the center from Neumann. The coaches said that Gerry Mac did everything to recruit this kid and they wanted him to go to Syracuse.

How about drop the old school recruiting mentality that you can call kids once a month and it's their responsibility to show that THEY'RE interested in YOU. It's a freaking joke that there was a top 15 player who grew up a Syracuse fan 4 hours away and he said he didn't even know when the last time SU coaches contacted him, and he didn't know if they were going to see him play.

I don't know about that. They must know something if they weren't interested at all.

He tried the NBA and it turned out badly for him. He's got it real nice and cushy at the pseudo NBA factory he's running there in Lexington -- I'm sure with lots of perks -- any everyone, including the NCAA, looking away. Nothing to see there folks! :/
