I meant us fans. I'm sure we could also lump in most GMs and scouts too. Miller is a hell of a lot smarter than all of us and gets to see things we don't. Still think there was a period when they were both in Arizona uniforms and Miller would have guessed Ashley would have been the better NBA rookie.
I'll take a signature bet on JJ and TF not ending up at Arizona and that one of them will end up at KU. Notice the "and".
"Arizona got uppercutted out of the 2018 tournament by No. 13 Buffalo, which delivered one of the most overwhelming, lopsided upsets by a double-digit seed in tournament history (89-68). "

So just to clarify: First you said Arizona will get neither JJ nor TF. Now you're making a signature bet that Arizona won't get JJ and TF. Do I have that back peddling right?

Hmmm. Arizona will get neither JJ or TF and KU will get one of the two. So if Arizona lands one of the two, I lose. Which I won't.

Haha well since I was willing to take the bet when it was us needing to get both of them, this sounds pretty good to me.
I'm saying JJ commits and TFerg goes KU. I have no inside knowledge on TFerg but I saw a little something inside McKale that makes me believe the coaches are very confident JJ comes here.

I would happily take JJ over TF. Sort of a no-brainer.
If our class is JJ, RA, KS, and LM, we'll be the favorite to win the Pac next season and preseason top 5 nationally.

Every person on this board would accept this outcome and wish TF good luck in the Phog. We have a 1 and 2 priority, and I don't feel like JJ has been anything than 1 for about a year now.

I seem to remember reading that JJ might be making his decision in late March, early April. Not solid, so don't hold me to this. Will look for a story/ link.

No info on TF's time table.
Perhaps at the McD's game?
Could be. I think someone else might have said this too.
In a recent interview with Scout.com, Jackson stated that Michigan State, Arizona and Kansas are all still in the running for his services and he’s eyeing a late-March decision date:

And Kansas? Just don't see it. As everyone knows, he's played for Miller and seems to like him and appreciates his coaching style. At this point, only JJ knows eh.

Tonight's game will not have any impact on JJ. You really think it's not obvious to anyone with basketball knowledge what this team lacked? That losing Ray Smith was always the dagger in the heart of this team, and it happened before we ever played a meaningful minute of basketball. If anything, JJ will see this game and say to himself, MAH GAWD do they need me or what?
We're getting JJ, and next year is going to be one wild ride. I'll be watching games at 3 AM in Barcelona (handle name will change in 3 weeks when I move) and I'm going to be celebrating a FF next April because JJ is going to take us there.
That is all.
P.S. I'm really going to miss Kaleb. Just not his post touch or back iron FTs.
I have to think the MSU and Arizona losses mean little to his decision, but I am glad MSU went out just as quick as we did. Another final four run by MSU id be more worried, that shows even more continued top of the mountain runs for them and Izzo seem like an untouchable, an almost automatic guy to get u there mo matter what. As Kansas ran shit pretty much the whole year and by many accounts, are a distant third in this race, I dont think a deep run by them will change anything either. Arizona and MSU got the better rosters next year.
It's funny seeing the MSU board talk about Josh. Complete opposite and far more optimistic and sure they'll land him.
Of course message boards insiders (because there's always a couple) confirm this and say he wants to go to MSU and posters are posting their starting 5 with Josh in it.
Amongst other things, They talk about Josh wants to go to MSU and that's where he wants to go (and the infamous girlfriend) but his mom is pushing to KU.
I bet if you went to a KU board they'll think he's going there

By whose accounts are we a distant third?

I think KU and Self are a #2, for what that's worth.

Nothing wrong with being a plan C. Im sure if he wants to enter the league when his hairline starts receding he will choose you guys.

Sure nothing is wrong with being a plan C, but you didn't answer my question.
