Re: Rashad Vaughn

One would think Oubre going to KU wouldn't help their chances with him but they are teammates at Findley now. Don't want to cheer for KU to get a 5* recruit today if it isn't going to benefit us

I'd be really surprised if they BOTH went to KU. It doesn't make much sense for either of them but kids are kids. That said, the big news is probably a package deal to KU. :smile:

Re: Rashad Vaughn

Kelly Oubre tweeted that big news is coming tomorrow. I strongly doubt that it is about Vaughn at all, but if it's his commitment, it is between Kansas and Kentucky. It looks like on the inter webs it show Kansas as the leader and he just went on a visit there. That would be great for the Cyclones and hopefully will eliminate KU from the Vaughn sweepstakes.
The announcement will not be about Vaughn. Don't look for KY to be a big player in the Vaughn sweepstakes. As for UNC. I don't think Roy knows like all of us fans seem to know that we probably aren't in it either. KU is the team I keep saying to look out for and I stick by that. I believe it comes down to ISU, KU, Baylor. Though I believe Baylor isn't as big a player as he lets on. Remember watch what a recruit does not what he says. I believe you guys have a great shot. KU really concerns me though. My word 222 pages this has got to be some record.

He already cut them from his list

That's what I'm hoping because I think Oubre is going to pick KU today

So do you not believe UNLV is a contender? Cause the UNLV troll will tell you differently.

I'm much more worried about UNLV than Baylor personally. So, along your lines of following his actions, what in his actions tell you to be more worried about Baylor than UNLV? I'm truly curious about this because when I look at his actions, I see the complete opposite. Maybe I'm missing something though.

Re: Rashad Vaughn

#12 overall on Rivals, SG Kelly Oubre canceled visit to KY today and will make his decision today between KU and KY. Since he cancelled his visit with Kentucky and is doing this spur of the moment announcement today, looks like he is going to KU. #2 SG in class of 2014. Could mean KU might be out of the mix for Rashad. VERY good news for us.

Re: Rashad Vaughn

If he goes to Baylor I think he's either stupid or getting paid. I'm 100% serious. I don't think he's either of those.

The tea leaves seem to be UNLV vs. ISU. I won't discount UNC yet. I have eliminated Minny in my brain.

Minnesota fans think you're an idiot. Remember, our program is an absolute joke and they are the cream of the crop with a coach with a 17-15 career record at some no-name school. ISU has no chance and Minnesota will easily win the battle for him.

Minnesota is done and out. While I don't want Kansas to get a big name like Oubre, it does improve our chances with landing Vaughn. If he commits to Kansas, it looks like it comes down to a four school race between ISU, UNC, UNLV, and Baylor. He's an idiot if he choo$e$ Baylor. Not sure how what to think of UNC anymore. UNLV is the only one here that honestly scares me.

Re: Rashad Vaughn

I'll be interested on how this affects the relationship with KU. If they both say that KU is still in play I'm going to concede to KU.

Yeah, it would definitely suck a lot if we lost out to KU at this point for RV since we'd then have to play that team over the next few years with the guys they have on it.

Not to mention our staff has probably done a whole heck-of-alot more work on the relationship building and prioritizing him. But we all know its a rich-get-richer world.

Re: Rashad Vaughn

Not sure why people think Oubre going to KU eliminates them for Vaughn. I think it only helps their chances.

Re: Rashad Vaughn

I think it helps ISU if Oubre picks KU because they only lose for sure Black and Wiggins although Selden is a strong possibility but it looks as though they are goin after a lot of big guys so they probably only take one wing player.
