    So I'm guessing no LOI was signed today like some thought was going to happen.

      Is Marques Bolden a real person? Are we all being trolled?

        Bolden was always going to have a thing with his family on Thursday.

        He could've still signed the LOI today; that might be where Daniels is getting the thing about both schools have been informed.

        But clearly they don't want it public until he can do it himself tomorrow. They've taken it this far in mystery, might as well ride it out.

          Jerry Meyer has Bolden to Duke, as he has for the past couple of months.

          Kentucky fans must be bashing him on Twitter, because he just tweeted this:

          Lots of bad info out there. My 1st Crystal Ball pick while beta was J Randle to UK. Yes, missed on J Murray as did 81%. I'm 83% on UK picks.

            83% isn't very good, actually.

            With most players at this level it's pretty obvious what's going to happen. There are some (Jones, Murray) who are mysteries, but most of the time there's a hard lean from the beginning, and then these guys lock those crystal ball picks in.

            I would say most of us here, with no info at all, would be picking at about 75% just based on message board scuttlebutt.

              Jeff Goodman says his gut says it's UK.

                ^ Then it's definitely Duke.

                    The Jeff Goodman tweet was a fake account.

                    Nobody knows about this kid. Bottom line.

                      The fake info was that he was going to Duke. About an hour later the real Goodman tweeted the thing about his gut feeling.

                        Just counting up the guesses I've seen around the web:

                        Drew Franklin still saying Duke.
                        Matt Jones saying UK but says he has no idea.
                        Rivals' T.J. Walker and Eric Bossi both picking Duke. Walker says he's been told by three people that it's Duke.
                        Jerry Meyer saying Duke.
                        Jeff Goodman guessing that it's UK.
                        A guy who was once a bona fide insider on UK boards, Dave Kersey, is saying with confidence that it's Kentucky.

                        I kind of agree with KC that there's a lot of guesswork going on right now and that the Boldens have done a hell of a job of keeping this under wraps.

                          Is the announcement time EST or CST?
                          Philippians 4:11-4:13

                            He will announce at 2:30 Eastern.

                            Unless he doesn't, which wouldn't be that surprising really.

                              Seems to be a lot of Duke momentum on other boards and on Twitter. Could be the classic late momentum to one school deal...who knows. Duke people seem very sure that he is coming and UK folks are saying they don't know. May not mean anything.

                              We shall see...would be rough to lose Matthews and Bolden in two days. Then who knows with Lee and Briscoe.

                                It may be that nobody seems to know because Bolden himself may not know. Terrence Jones sat down at the table not knowing which hat he was going to pick, and then he changed his mind even after picking one.

                                We need to avoid getting too high or too low over this. Bolden is generally considered the number one center in this class, but he is not an Anthony Davis or DeMarcus Cousins or a Karl Townes. The significance is choice is heightened because it is between us and Duke and we'd like to beat Duke in anything. I am not dissing the kid. I would love to have him. But, the importance may be as much symbolic and psychological as it is practical.

                                I am not sure that Briscoe's decision is not more important to our success next year than is Bolden's.
