    At least it doesn't appear Jaden has done anything since the rumors yesterday. Gives Hop a chance to put out the fire. BTP you better pray Hop is a closer.

    Does hop drink coffee?

    At this point is it possible he's planning on playing overseas?

    Waiting a long time to secure the bag.

    Cal told him to wait until after Derby weekend to sign, didn’t want his commitment to get overshadowed in Kentucky.

    Yeah I don't really buy that as the reason his dad isn't all in on UW. He's probably just proud and wants his son to got to a nationally relevant program. Its not like we're the only school with a good pitch.

    I don't know his personal situation. But for a school like UW, being a local kid, there's generally little upside to leaving.

    He will get full minutes in year 1 here. UW will be top 2 pretty much no matter what in conference, meaning he'll be noticed. We have had many top picks the last few years, it's not like he's going to a forgotten program like Cal, or TCU or something.

    If he leaves, goes to a blue blood like Duke or Kentucky. He won't stand out as much and the local community won't care, he'll be just another rent a player.

    If he kills it at Duke, he'll be just another in a long line of players. If he kills it at UW, he'll make headlines.

    That being said, he goes to Kentucky and hopefully doesn't flop like Terrance Jones.

    Yeah, if his goal is to be 1 and done, Kentucky is a much higher risk for him because there will be 3 or 4 guys on the team ranked higher than him

    Who really knows with McDaniels, but he could be just waiting to see who ends up at Kentucky for next year before deciding. They still have a lot influx. It's hard to say which players McDaniels might be fighting for playing time with because he can play so many positions, but there are going to be a lot of mouths to feed there next year.

    According to 247, they have the #10, #11, #14, and #91 players signed and are the favorites to land the #30 player. McDaniels is rated #13. They are bringing in a grad transfer C from Bucknell that averaged 15 and 8 and are in the mix for Kerry Blackshear, another big that averaged 15 and 8 that will likely transfer from VT or remain in the draft. Always a chance Cal gets a top 2020 player like Isaiah Todd to reclassify too or others from last years team are pushed out.

    Hagans, Montgomery, and Quickley were all top 20 players from the previous class that seem likely to return.

    McDaniels has like a week to sign, right? Could he sign financial aid papers at two schools and still wait to see how things shake out at Kentucky if he wanted?

    The cool thing everyone wanted to do out of HS in Washington is "move to cali!!1". There is this weird stigma about getting the fuck out of Washington even though it's really not that bad here.

    Great marketing pitch for the tourism bureau.

    Latest from Corey Evans has UW picking up ground from last week..... Sounds like nobody really has a clue at this point.

    Says he might not decide until summer, isn't the deadline next week?

    I really want this kid, but the KD comparisons are ridiculous.

    So essentially he doesn’t actually know anything new, just like the rest of us.
