Caleb Swanian decommits from Sparty

[HeelFan58]

Supposedly either Cal or Cal(UK) ......something smells like Sheeeeeet. I can see UK but a puzzzzy school like Berkeley....come on and don't any of you communist/socialists come back with "Cal is a great school" bull shat. ....and I know I left the G out of Swanigan...my Fing keyboard.

 

[Bur-Heel]

i heard purdue earlier

 

[BillyL]

Smells like a UK/Calishady deal . .

 

[UNC-75]

Cal Berkeley could be putting together a fantastic class. Problem would be some might not stay (Brown) for more than one year. If they all stayed for 2 or more with an addition like Swanigan, well let's just say they would be very good. Of course, that's assuming these players are as good as advertised.

 

[UNC&ME]

these package deals could spill over to 2016...especially if Cal succeeds early

 

[Billheel]

Cal Berkley is a really damn good school.......................... it's really the UNC of the west coast.

 

[dadika13]

I'm also hearing Purdue. Which would not be a bad thing for us.

Have you ever spent any time in the Bay Area?

Yeah- I was in Berkeley last spring and it is really nice out there.

Purdue

 

[phiffr]

^^^+1

 

[imajericho]

Think it has to be Cal. Don't understand why he committed to MSU in the first place if his guardian is the reason he would now choose Purdue.

 

[ACC Bball Fan]

Apparently his guardian has a Purdue connection

That's the answer... But the question is why now ?? What changed ? Dan the man with Breaking news. “@dandakich: Swanigan to Purdue is done”

Agreed...amazing place. Was commenting on the poster who said "come on and don't any of you communist/socialists come back with "Cal is a great school" bull shat."

Apparently his guardian and that connection but also Purdue will let him play PF at 6'8" 270...kid is a load.

 

[soap - new and improved]

Right package went to the right hands finally? Or maybe it is 100% innocent. I cannot tell you all how much I wish honesty and doing right was the norm and dirty shady stuff unheard of. Just the way things run these days casts a dirty shadow on every decommit and odd school choice.


What was that 2nd tier school that started pulling in top recruits left and right a few years back? Wish my memory was better. Got one of the very top guys a class or 3 ago and everyone was scratching their heads. Then big rumors came out there was significant $$$$ at work in all of it. Dirty as hell past history to go with it too.

I looked around...... Baylor is the one I was thinking about.

 

[dadika13]

Perry Jones, Quincy Miller, Isiah Austin in back to back to back years. All top 10 players and yeah, all very very paid.

 

[Archer2]

Just more Swanigan shenanigans.

Seriously, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if there were shoe money involved at both Cal and Purdue, particularly at Cal.

I guarantee no money at PU. PU's last 5 Star recruit was the Big Dawg Glenn Robinson. If they paid for talent he wouldn't have been their last 5 star. Considering PU because he wants to be a PF and play with a good C. Hammons can be the best C if he decides to be. Plus they have a 7'2" backup that's not that bad. His guardian is PU football alumni. He's waiting for Conzo to kick a kid off the team to free up a spot. Plus UK is hot after him know. Actually PU could be his best option but not atractive for OAD. I heard a comment from Caleb that PU was the only school not contacting him after he committed to MSU.

I don't care if this kid commits to Perdue or Cal, just please go ahead and commit to one of them! I smell something, it doesn't smell good, it smells like durham or Ky stuff. K only got one real big man that will be a facor next season in this class and they were hard on the trail for Swanigan before he comitted to Izzo and Kalapari ONLY has the one real big man for his class. BOTH really need/want to add a big man and niether are above poaching a kid already committed elsewhere.

I can't speak for what UK is doing but we have zero interest and haven't spoken to him once since his commitment, so you can take the Duke theory off the table.

Apparently we have a member of the dook staff posting with us.

OK, so just so I understand, duke isn't at all interested in adding a top 10 front court kid that was in the last Micky D game? I want to be sure I understand, he was a priority recruit that K was working hard to secure BEFORE he committed to Izzo but now for some reason there is no further interest and I am supposed to buy that hook, line, & sinker?

So you know for a fact as you share in your SECOND message on this site that K has not bothered to even inquire as to if the kid may have interest? Did I get that right, priority recruit, top priority recruit BEFORE he committed to Izzo and now ZERO interest? I think you can suspect why I SUSPECT that you don't know as much as you may want us to believe?

 

[Indy_Heel]

For the time being he committed to PU today.

 

[imajericho]

I think Duke Fans would know if they are recruiting a player or not for the most part. Especially with him being the only remaining top player left.

That said, Purdue. Surprised it wasn't Cal.

 

[Steat]

K does not like the Heels #1 ranking and the Williams signing absolutely pissed him off according to the word I'm getting. DSouthr, you may be on to something here.

 

[timo0402]

So he committed to Purdue, as most thought he would after he decommitted from MSU. Yes Duke recruited him hard and made up a lot of ground in his recruitment. Unfortunately we did not win out for him, it happens, you're not going to get them all. After he committed to MSU, that was it, and once he decommitted we did not reach back out, or vice versa. As simple as that.

As for K being pissed about UNC's preseason #1 ranking and being pissed about the #80 recruit signing with UNC's already loaded roster??? Not sure where you are getting your info, but you might need some new sources. Guy just won a national chamipionship and has been doing speaking commitments and recruiting around the clock, not sure he cares a whole lot about preseason rankings.

The Heels pre-season rankings went up with the Williams signing. It's not about rankings, it's about getting the missing piece. Hey, K is pissed about Williams and you can take that to the bank. The word I get is that he knows that the only thing the Heels lack is 3-point specialist. Williams lacks in a lot of areas, but shooting is not one of them. Boo Williams says he is the second best shooter he has had on his AAU team behind your JJ Redick over te past 15 years. Is that saying a lot or what? My source is the same source that said K went nuts when Barnes signed with UNC. I can tell you a lot of things my source has said about K over the years but it would piss UNC fans off and make Duke fans happy. I rather post stuff like this.
