dook and yukensucky can win the recruiting titles. Roy just continues to win ACC Regular Season Championships, National Championships and Final Four appearances. We are now back on our recruiting game?! Uh Oh!!!
RJ Davis Visit - NOW WITH POLL
- Thread starter What Would Jesus Do?
- Start date
For sure, ALWAYS carrying/double dribbling, shoving. The game has deteriorated terribly wrt enforcing the rules. The Shove Off to get room for a shot should ALWAYS be called though.
If Roy wants RJ, I hope those saying he has already committed to UNC are correct.

You never know what will happen with a kid but if Thompson ends up at Oklahoma they aren't going to be a winner. They finished in the bottom half of the Big 12 last season,their recruiting hasn't been good and that's putting it mildly.
Plenty of discussions about taking both Davis and Thompson but with a Davis commitment, I'm assuming Cade to UNC is pulled off of life support and officially declared dead?
I am actually finding it quite funny if Jared is a troll that name dropped a real person to get raider to expose himself as a fraud with info. Lol
if I wanted to stir the pot on a dook, Kensucky or KU board, it would not take much to find the name of an equipment manager or assistant trainer for the basketball teams and start flooding their board with misinformation.
Would actually be kind of fun.
Sounds like our new friend Jared is legit, which is great and that RJ will be a heel which is even better
I assume X Johnson will test the waters next draft. Do Pitt fans think he is gone? Not sure where he is ranked on draft boards.
Roy’s taking Ziaire. There’s no question about it.
We have 6 spots open. With Davis committing we’ve got two spots left meaning two of Thompson, Walton, Williams. If Williams doesn’t come we can also pursue a top SF grad transfer.
I was a believer when Clint used the word pristine, well before Evan’s CB pick.

I know there are several "gurus" here who have been saying Cade is UNC-bound for a while.
They could be right, of course. But you'd think at least some predictor would have gotten wind of that.
To the best of my recollection, there has never been a prediction of Cade to UNC.
For many months Cade has had double digit predictions. For a while they were 100% to Ok St. Now, with 17 predictions, there are 3 to UK - including Evan Daniels and Jerry Meyer. Which is to say that OK St fans should be nervous.
Still none to UNC.
If something strange happens and he wants to commit here, by all means find a scholarship for him. He's seriously good. But don't even think about holding a scholarship for him.
Technically correct, though there are variables at play that could open an additional 2 spots. Will it happen? Not sure, however, I do know that Roy will take 6 this year if...., they are the correct fit and talent.
Which some of us expect, but isn't guaranteed.
It's also the case that the uncertainty around Manley and Francis could be resolved by spring. If either of them has to give up basketball for medical reasons, and if the alternative scholarships can be found for them, we could have room even if Mando stays. With Jeremiah already participating, I expect him to be OK, but recent word of ongoing problems with Sterling make me worry whether he will ever get there.
Personally, I expect Mando to leave. Not because it's clear to me that he is that good (yet) but because he's big, good, and will be getting all the PT he can handle. So he has a great chance to be ready come the next draft.
I don't believe in forcing someone out by recruiting for a ship not guaranteed to be open.
We’re recruiting to take two more from what I can tell. Would take both Thompson and Williams.
I don’t think Roy does either. May not be forcing someone out, somebody may have given Roy some info.
the cade ship has sailed he is probably okie state or ky bound. unless something drastic happens.
we already have 2 pg's committed when rj makes his public cade is a combo slash point so is caleb so we are probably moving on from him and focusing on William's and thompson who I believe we are gonna get

you dont have to believe me, but dont think I didnt notice that of all the people that leave nuggets you called me out... I have always said its second hand info and is not the 100% gospel except in the case of Francis I just happened to be in the right place at the right time while at late night... so why the hard on for me?

I got nothing but Love for you Raider
TTHR you are good around here man. That guy is the real joke.
See the dook board for details about him.
I'm surprised RJ Davis turned down a starting slot at Marquette and Pitt to backup for us. He must have major faith in Roy Williams developing him.
What I meant by "very athletic" I was comparing him to Cole Anthony. I love the kid and think he will be a great player for UNC.
Much like you, I'm skeptical of reports that "player A" is committing. I generally wait until the player actually commits before I believe it. TBS, we are at 71% on the crystal ball, including Evan Daniels' prediction for UNC, so we'll see. But it does look good.
I figured you must have meant something along those lines because RJ is quite athletic. No, he isn't Cole Anthony athletic, but very few are. IF he comes to UNC, I think RJ will flourish in our uptempo system.
Now, if we could just add Puff...(I know, I know, he's Arizona bound).
They can put on all the dog and pony shows they want but the reality is the Sooners aren't going to do much winning. They finished in the bottom half of the Big 12 last season. If their pitch is stay home,we'll put the ball in your hands and you can take 25+ shots a game like Trae Young that's fine but he isn't winning surrounded by a roster of 3 star players. Go look at their recruiting classes and tell me how they're going to win. The year Trae Young was there the NCAA gifted them a NCAA tournament birth to get him in the tournament only to watch them go home after 1 game.

Believe it or not, there are still some kids out there who want to win, and who realize that basketball is a team sport.
I Understand, not beating on ya, or arguing minor points, just disagreed with your premise.
It all boils down to whether or not he really meant what he said about wanting a family atmosphere and a chance to win a national championship. We shall see.
We've had this conversation. Some say there are resources for this purpose. I don't know, but I'm operating on the assumption that if one of our guys can no longer play, his athletic scholarship can be freed up and he can still finish his schooling on some other kind of aid.
That would be sad, of course, but a reasonable outcome.
Ahhh. Well if all you get is Clint talking about RJ's pristine hairdo, I don't see why anyone would pay for premium.
Translation: if you are going to tease about the benefit of premium, tease better.
Hell, they put on a damn circus for him. Everything from box seats at the football game, basketball propaganda on the Jumbotron, and OKC Thunder being there. Can’t blame em tho
