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.

God, had no clue his stats were that bad.

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".

He says after Arizona lands two 5 star recruits to go with their other 5 star recruit. Way to go out on a limb there, enfuego.

I'll take that bet.

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?

I like that the bet revolves around whether we land 3, 4 or 5 five star prospects this year.

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.

The recruitment pissing match is pointless until 97 chimes in.

For the record, I think we'll get JJ or TF, not both.

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.

When are JJ and TF scheduled to announce?

They're not. Ferguson hasn't even scheduled visits yet.

What is the anticipated time frame among everyone here.

(Ie how often should I be checking this thread? Daily? 2x a week, weekly? This is fun and all but work can't be at the expense of enfaygo's trolling)

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.

Watch the McD's AA game

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.

Could be. I think someone else might have said this too.

April 3rd then. Night before we win the national title!

Go Cats!! Come on down to the Ol' Pueblo, JJ!!

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:

Cheer up, everybody.

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.

Just musing...



Kansas 33%
Arizona 33%
Michigan State 29%

Morning musings..

58% Arizona
29% MSU
10% Kansas

Say what? That's not right.

Musings only Puerco. The Bear Down version of 247 predictions re where
JJ'll end up. .

Right where we want to be?

He's waiting to see who leaves and who stays at these programs. I'm sure Trier and Selden's decision might impact him in some way.

Has Izzo Romared anyone yet?

Although he will most certainly wait until the tourney is over.

I'm sure that it's understood if JJ wants to come, somebody's got to go.

We dont think he already decided?

McDonald's High school all American game is on March 30th (late March ?) Bet he announces at halftime.

Apparently the pizza delivery guy who delivered a pie to the cousin of his shoe guy overheard them talking.

According to Jack Ebling, the host of The Drive with Jack Ebling, Josh Jackson has told a reliable source of his that the Spartans are his leader at the moment:

So Kansas is out ?

Please come...

We need more players who hate to lose.

Hope he didnt watch tonight's game...

billk78 wrote:Hope he didnt watch tonight's game...

I hope Miller is on a private jet right now to go get him to come to Arizona.

If JJ decides not to come to the UofA, who would most likely commit here? Scheer said he expects Miller will bring in a 5th year transfer.

billk78 wrote:Hope he didnt watch tonight's game...

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.

Wonder if the % go up now for KU with MSU losing to a directional school.

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.

I find this to be of great joy now that MSU just lost...chokers going to choke as the MSU fan base says?

http://michiganstate.247sports.com/Boar ... h-44327534

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

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.
