Jaylen Brown - Will Likely Use OV for UM

hmmmmmm

wow

Dont know if true or not, but everyone else seems to post things that might not be reliable so there ya go!

The content of that post mirrors another set of intel (rivals user post) that seems like it was from last night. Totally conceivable something happened between last night and today that changes the game.

I wouldn’t put it past Kentucky to leak information that might not be accurate to just create buzz around it, hoping it helps sway Brown’s thinking.

I’m not saying Brown won’t choose Kentucky but I truly don’t believe he is letting the info leak anywhere. He has been the anti 5 star recruit in that way throughout the entire process. Weeks ago it was Cal, UCLA for awhile, us, Kentucky, us, Kentucky. Keeping the “favorite” changing keeps the story fresh. It keeps people hitting their links and following them on social media. He is the last big name left, there is no one left to discuss to draw people in.

What was the fake account? in summary?

Jaylen’s account is FCH, the referenced account was FHC

Gotcha, second time that mistake has been made (temporarily). Seems right now there’s more fake intel coming out than legitimate. Read with caution, my friends.

Intrigued by that UVA forum post and kudos to Sking for mining the deepest darkest corners of the basketball internet (I mean, I didn’t even know that UVA had forums).

Doesn’t seem like the most reliable source, but between Webb, the anonymous text, and the flurry of UK is leading reports…I think it is safe to assume that something happened last night. Perhaps a call from Cal, a coming to Jesus moment from Jaylen that UK is the best place for him, or simply some misinformation to keep everyone on their heels, but something definitely happened.

@AaronsUKBBBlog Based on some interesting information I acquired, I have reason to believe that Jaylen Brown has chosen Kentucky.

Lorenz update from today says UM has “cautious optimism”…we shall see soon enough

ahhhh MATT D YA KILLING ME :slight_smile:

Hey I remember a time when Kam Chatman was definitely heading to Arizona.

I’m still hopeful!

Lorenz posted that at noon. Wasn’t that before the “ZOMGZ HE PICKED KENTUCKY” flare ups?

Sam Webb/anonymous text info was public before that. Whether Lorenz was privy to the same is beyond my knowledge

Maybe with some of the other recruits going elsewhere Calipari had more of the budget to use and increased his $$$ offer to Brown last night.

I say that tounge in cheek!

If it turns out that Jaylen did commit to michigan last night only to change his mind shortly thereafter–that would be a pretty tough loss. I realize the end result is the same as if he never committed to us in the first place, but I never really believed we had much of a chance with him. If it turns out that not only did we have a chance, but he actually committed for a minute, then that would not be cool.

Especially if it means we lost out on the opportunity for Williams.

If we end up losing Brown to UK I hope it won’t have a further chilling effect on recruiting top prospects.

If anything, hopefully the staff will put their heads together to figure out how they can close better on these guys. We’re no Kentucky, fine, but at least we gotta set a medium-term goal of achieving recruiting parity with Izzo and Matta for goodness sakes – I think Beilein’s talent identification and development is better but he still doesn’t secure his first or second choices nearly as often as those guys do .

2 minutes ago on Twitter jerry Meyer reiterated his pick is still Michigan

I read on a UVA board Williams has a young kid in the VA area and that he wasn’t going to go too far from there. We probably never had a real shot.
