Yeah, FWIW, On3 national analyst Jamie Shaw told me a few days ago that he thinks Jalil can push for the top five, but No. 1 is probably out of reach, given Flagg's reclassification to 2024.
Kid is good, all the top guys should be looking at him, does he return the interest? I would assume not
we'll see how true that is. If he ends up at a UK or Duke, we know that it was BS. I felt really strongly that he's ours, but this is gonna be even more of a battle now.
Totally agree on all fronts ... I'm trying to get in touch with a few national recruiting experts to gauge how Duke/UK could impact SU's chances with Jalil.
What about the possibility of him pulling a Flowers and heading to Australia, or the G- League?
Every fan base has its buttholes. But, I imagine Louisville is loaded with uneducated douchebags…too go along with a few intelligent fans.
Hasn’t he said he wants to play in college? I know things change but…
They all say that until they get a check in front of them for 500k+
Jalil is really flying up the rankings. He has worked really hard and it’s paying off. Hopefully, if he decides to go to college, he values the relationships he’s developed. If he goes somewhere to make money, it’s understandable. If he chooses that route, hopefully he does it early, unlike Flowers.
Well, from the optimistic insiders here, I would hope our NIL would pony up. If he comes in as a legitimate top 5 recruit, the impact is on more than just one year in the court. It signals to the following classes that SU is back as a destination school.
I still think he comes to cuse. I think they have a great plan for him and he definitely wants to play college ball. Plus their NIL efforts have ramped up. Just always covering my ground lol
Meh. MBB/FB for sure. MLAX might help incrementally. WBB too maybe. The rest are nice but at the end of the day, matter little in this conversation. I hope they all do well - MSOC winning a national title was great last year. It that doesn’t move the needle for conference realignment.
thanks as always for your info!
Until he doesn't (like you said earlier). What a kid who's being recruited says doesn't mean a ton to me. We've been burned so many times before. That all said, it is encouraging to hear how we stand in a very good position. He would be a HUGE get!
These are some of the consequences that are possible when you go after the big fish… rollercoaster rides always but this has been the smoothest of them yet
