For what it’s worth, the report was never from Givony, it was from Mike Schmitz (who worked for Givony and now works for the Trailblazers). Schmitz is also the person Houstan announced his commitment to Michigan through.
The original report of a potential promise was definitely from Givony. Givony also announced his commitment. I think you have them mixed up.

I do? Ok, I apologize for that - and to Dot.
Regardless, I don’t think last nights events confirm or deny the veracity of any “promise”, and I think the DX guys (Givony) are pretty reputable reporters.
To be fair, he didn’t report he had a promise. He said NBA teams had speculated he had a promise. It’s all just semantics at this point.
The reality is that Houstan felt good about a floor for his draft stock (presumably top 40) and focused on working out privately for teams in that range. The decision worked out for him.

Yeah in this context definitely a good call. I think the good point that I have seen from Dylan and others is that if Caleb has essentially the same sophomore year as this year, he is further out from his HS film/numbers and probably not drafted. Sure he could have a breakout year and move up but I think you have to take this while you can if you are him.

Just wondering if he had come back if he’d have been in the mid first round or higher, especially given how deep this draft was considered to be. Not that it makes any difference now.
Here for all the Technically Not A Promise discourse I can get.

Ok, good luck to him. Now I hope I never have to hear about him again.
