    Maybe. Or he might've just been beaten by Duke.

    When you look around at these schools you notice that they recruit types. Roy Williams and big men, Self and high-low skilled bigs, Duke and three-point specialists, Cal and rim protectors. Cal hasn't had much success with players like Kennard outside of Doron Lamb. Coach K has thrived with tons of guys like that. Makes a lot of sense.

    If Kennard would have ended up anywhere else, it might have been a mystery. But it's Duke. Hard to fault anybody involved when you lose recruiting battles to them.

      If Brown goes to Michigan tomorrow, we (and by WE, I mean WCN as a collective motley crew) are going to have to surround Crazzed's house and remove all computers and mobile devices from it. Or else we'll never hear the end of just how horrible a month this has been.

            I will keep my opinion to myself. Even if he would have committed to Kentucky, would he have ever got the chance to play? May have been lucky to see him at the end of blowouts or maybe a few cameo appearances during his senior year. Trust me, Kennard made the right move...........

                And why do you think that would that be. Wouldn't be because he's white would it? We all know Cal doesn't like white boys.

                  Kennard actually may have spurned Kentucky for the same reason all these other guys have.

                  There could be something that's getting around to steer these guys elsewhere. I think it could be Cal and Cleveland from last season and how close that whole thing came.

                    It's beginning to be humorous how people just cant fathom how a player would choose a Duke, or a Kansas, etc. over UK. Of course in our eyes we just don't see why a kid would want to go anywhere else, but those schools are just as popular and have has such a good run the last decade or two that these young kids grow up dreaming of going to schools like this.

                    I'm not sure why the whole Cleveland thing would scare many kids off, they are just going to stop signing LOI's so if this kind of thing happens they can leave much easier.

                      A lot of pro-UK stuff out there today in regards to Brown. I am cautiously optimistic but will need to hear it directly from him to believe it.

                        What will win out, the family connection to the state of MI, or him wanting to come be on the team that would be a national title contender.

                            This is probably the most Matt Jones thing ever.
                            If you missed today's show, you missed some premium inside info on Jaylen Brown. Last night, Matt received a text message from a number he didn't know about

                              Yeah, there's starting to be a lot of Pro Kentucky talk going around.
