Jaylen Brown - Will Likely Use OV for UM

Let me make it an even 1000 comments for good measure! Boom!

Hey Dylan, considering you sourced Biancardi instead of others (like Webb or Snow) that think Kentucky is the other school in the top two, is that what you personally believe? That it's us or Cal?

There was no hidden motive behind that. Just a quote I had handy. Sorry if that was misleading… I definitely think Kentucky is right there in the mix.

And that’s where the disagreement arises, why Pigeonhole any player in Beileins system? You play the best available players. We are very versatile. Create matchup problems, have the opposition adjust to your well thought out gameplan.

Walton/Kam/RS-Albrecht
Caris/Duncan/Maar
Zak/Aubrey
Jaylen/DJ
Doyle/Donnal

ā€˜Da Runnin Wolverines’

Did you just list Chatman as a PG?

And DR as a Shooting Guard? He’s either a 3 or 4, definitely not a 2.

The only matchup problem if we use Kam as a 1 and DR as a 2 is the one we cause for ourselves. It is absolutely ridiculous if you think that Kam can guard Big Ten caliber point guards, and that DR will be able to guard the other team’s 2, often their best offensive weapon. Sure, on offense the 2-4 spots are somewhat interchangeable, but your lack of attention to defense leaves your lineup prediction laughable at best.

Meyer has been pretty optimistic about Brown to UM (hence his CB pick) so we may want to take it with a grain of salt, but he doesn’t think Kirk remaining with NCSU conveys anything in regard to a Brown/UK marriage

.@Rondoballer @247Wolverine never told kirk or brown was either or situation. Also Kentucky started recruiting kirk after he chose NC State.

Not necessarily Brown related, but some insight as to how important recruiting is.

Billy Donovam told a friend he consulted with this week a losing SEC recruiting struggle with Kentucky was wearing on him. Per @Ian_OConnor.

I know the 3 and 4 are interchangeable but I think optically it is good form to slot Jaylen in the 3 since it represents a minor concession to him and his expected NBA role. Saying he will have to play the 4 feeds into the BBN lie that Michigan is inflexible and that he cannot be ā€œthe manā€ at Michigan. Irvin can start at the 4.

I am just salivating at the open shots that Irvin and Dawkins would get with Brown/Caris/Walton out there creating for them. And Walton and Caris are good spot up shooters too. Having 3 40+% shooters from 3 would be very feasible. Lots of open lobs for Brown and Dawkins too. Doyle with open layups. And Spike coming off the bench. We would be having way too much fun. On offense at least.

I agree Windsor and was thinking the same thing, however I do think occasionally having to guard the Nigel Hayes’ of the world would be beneficial to his NBA development, too.

Matt, please tell me that tweet about Brown to UK citing ESPN sources was bogus. I have been searching around but not seeing anything to confirm it, thankfully.

I’m about 99.9% sure that was nothing but false garbage.

It was obviously bogus, that’s why I deleted it.

I would guess it is, but lets wait and see if any major outlets pick it up. I would think by now someone at one of the kentucky recruiting sites would have commented on it.

The twitter account that said it had a whopping 2 followers, so I’d say it’s completely false. Nothing from Goodman regarding the tweet yet though.

Yeah, only one tweet and the guy’s background is a UK team picture. That said, it would be nice if Goodman would refute that garbage.

Edit: Man, I need to figure out twitter.

Doesn’t seem very reliable, but don’t shoot the messenger:

@RileyRock13 he got a random anonymous text last night from a 678 area code, which is ATL where Brown is from, that KY currently leads.

UVA insider is saying brown silently commited to michigan which ended the williams recruitment.

More scuttlebut concerning the same…could be cryptic or total garbage. I don’t think anyone really knows anything other than Mr. Brown himself.

So @KySportsRadio got a random text from Atlanta last night that UK leads for Jaylen Brown.............

michigan insiders (gun to the head) are saying its michigan right now… lots of opinions out there
