Jamal Murray to announce TUESDAY (Murray Chooses Kentucky)

[BBNalldayeveryday]

Our backcourt is going to be as hard to deal with this season as our front court was this past season.

[BBNalldayeveryday]

I'm sure glad my intuition was wrong in this instance lol. Great get for us

[JFCats22]

Wow....just wow. I am shocked. Maybe the most shocked I have ever been in recruiting. Unbelievable get for Cal.

[Joneslab]

Arguably the biggest commitment of the Calipari era given our roster and this kid's potential.

Takes Kentucky from a top 15ish team in America on paper to possibly #1 in the preseason.

[lilproUK98]

YES! Finally. This IS HUGE

[Joneslab]

Jamal Murray is a Cat.

[BBNalldayeveryday]

Someone said one of the people with him has an Oregon jacket on.

[BBNalldayeveryday]

He's all decked out wearing a giant Canada cape.

That's why Cal is perfect for this job....if sat around all day worrying about recruits, he would go insane like the rest of us.

[KevinHall]

Cal's not worried. He's at Yankee Stadium today.

[BobS]

If he goes to Oregon, which I think he does, it will be the final kick in the grundies for Cal this year and he has had a few.

Yeah...I know...he is still king of recruiting and we have a top 3 class...yada, yada, yada. However, he has lost some battles he is used to winning. No doubting it and it makes you scratch your head.

As for next year. I think we will be a good team. But we will not be a contender if the 4 unknowns don't happen.
1, Poythress returns good as new
2. Lee learns to produce offensively. Learns to hit shots. Learns to hit FTs.
3. Willis becomes something more than a scrub who plays meaningless minutes during blowouts. He HAS to contribute. Major unknown and I am skeptical.
4. Hawkins has to contribute. We know he has the tools.

This will be a different kind of team for Cal to be sure. But without that extra contributor like Murray, it will be tough, IMO. I think we will be a top 20 team but if we do not get the 4 things I mentioned, we could be a bubble team. Just my opinion.

So much changes if Murray throws a wrench in the works and picks UK. That would be huge for us, IMO.

Wasn't it just yesterday that Matt was feeling better about UK's chances?

And Jones is just covering his butt. Evidently nobody will know for sure until the kid announces.

[Matt Dillon]

Per another board, apparently Matt Jones just said on the radio that he was hearing from a reliable source that Murray will pick Oregon.

Our most important recruit after tonight is an elite assistant coach.
