God I hate basketball (and football) recruiting.

EVCat · Post by **EVCat** » Mon Apr 11, 2016 9:58 am

seems all of this is self - induced by the recruitment writers and fans. JJ has not once declared a favorite. Other than eliminating to the final 3, he has not tipped his hand. Literally every change from us leading to KU leading to MSU leading has been caused by people saying that other people seem to be leaning this way, so now I lean this way. This entire "race" has been self (not Bill) - induced. The entire narrative is based on people treating how he is "leaning" as fact, when the people who say he is leaning one way have been honest to say they are only reacting based upon what other people are predicting. The whole thing has been a self-fulfilling prediction, with little to zero actual knowledge. "Well...4 people on Crystal Ball shifted to (insert school)...I better shift too." Then the people who shifted that started the mass prediction change are asked why they shifted, and they say "well...I could see the tide was turning and other people started to pick (school)."

Most recruitment come with leaked infor and people in the know who really do have insight. Seems to me that with the JJ recruitment news, everything has been based on herd reaction, but there has been little actual substance to the shifting leader reports. I doubt he has changed his mind 3 times, yet we have had 3 leaders...so those leaders, including KU now, are really based upon a tiny bit of info and a severe reaction to that info by intenet premium reporters desperate for JJ content.

KU reporter has every reason to be nervous. Probably because he knows the entire leader narrative is based upon reaction of the people who cover recruiting more than any actual info. Sounds to me like we have a mom who wants KU, friends who want MSU, a player who wants UA, and the whole thing is based on who he wants to please. Which means the "lean" reports are almost 100% guesses...based on thinking he will want to make mom happy.

Spartan designs is one of the most connected person for MSU (football,Basketball), more than any reporter or insider. JJ also follows him on the twitters.

Josh Jackson's ideal program:

A school in Michigan coached by Sean Miller with numerous friends playing along side him that has his mother's approval.

Triangulate the point equidistant from all schools, and you have your answer. So he's either going to Gonzaga or somewhere in southern Canada.

So in a little under 5 more hours, this thread gets moved and the page finally gets turned, or this thread becomes the hottest, most active one we've had in years.

Unless the breakable objects are the hopes and dreams of the collective Jayhawk and Spartan nation? Amirite? Huh?!?

It has to be us. The girlfriend's tweet had our court bigger. Repeat...THE MCKALE COURT WAS BIGGER, MAN! The court is bigger, he'd let Self and Izzo drown, it's cold in Kansas and Michigan, his voice analysis shows he had 2.1% more interest when he talked about us. It's gotta be us!

Everybody on Scout premium has been told, but we've been asked not to share the news.

EVCat · Post by **EVCat** » Mon Apr 11, 2016 12:20 pm

I guess what surprised me the most is his plan to just be a team manager for Self to allow him to take afternoon pre-med courses. Who knew his true interest in KU was academic?

NYCat · Post by **NYCat** » Mon Apr 11, 2016 12:21 pm

He chose Carnegie Mellon, and will pursue a computer science degree

Based on his recruiting process, it seems like we are recruiting the second coming of Lebron James.

"Hello?"

"Coach Miller, it's Josh Jackson."

"Hi, Josh."

"Hi. Uh."

"I, uh, imagine you're calling with some news."

"Yeah." (laughs)

"Yeah, yeah, good. I'm listening.... Josh?"

"Yeah. It's just that, uh. You know."

"It's okay."

(laughter)

"Are you there, Josh?"

(inaudible)

"Josh?"

"Yeah, yeah. I'm here. Okay, then."

"Yes?"

"I just wanna, uh. I just wanna say I, uh. I really appreciate all you've done and... (exhales) Uh. I've decided to go to Kansas."

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Uh, yeah, I'm really sorry...."

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Are you okay, coach?"

"You can't do this to me!!!"

"Well, I..."

"NO! NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!"

Im thinking Drew Mellon knows. It's pretty easy to tell actually.

-Josh Jackson is deciding at 8:30
- 8+3 = 11
- 11x5 = Drew Mellon's number (55)
-Plus the picture of Arizona's court was bigger in his gf's tweet.

Welcome to U of A Josh!

Spaceman Spiff · Post by **Spaceman Spiff** » Mon Apr 11, 2016 1:34 pm

With the 8:30 decision time, the 830 area code is San Antonio. So I'm assuming he is a UTSA lock.

My code-deciphering mechanism is on the fritz. Did you mean to say "Get premium"? Or is this more a case of "Stay tuned"? Or a simple "sevun"?

LOL. That goes for any fans of the three schools, I only care to look out for my own people though. Let the Spartans and Jayhawks go to jail/break their cherished belongings.

The kid is special. Hia ability to drive to his weak side (left) is astonishing. Honestly don't know if I have ever seen a kid his age and size with his handles. It is going to be a pleasure for some collegiate fan base to have him for a year. Go Cats!!

Their camp keeps things tight, no one really has any actual inside info. It really is a toss up, everyone picking Kansas are at best educated guesses or gut picks with factors like Selden/Greene leaving. It's still probably Kansas.

Most likely Kansas. Anything else is a surprise
