My inside sources are telling me the same thing. But this is recruiting so things can change quickly and sometimes weird things happen.
Didn't he just get there today? And just like that he's considered basically gone.
If so.well..have fun winning 12 games in front of 2000 people I guess.
I think I'll wait and see before just chalking it up as over due to what a couple anonymous message board posters are hearing (no offense) from probably 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon away from the man himself. I wouldn't rule out DePaul though, simply because you look at the top recruits every year and you see all kinds of weird, weird commitments from great players to bad schools.
This is still one of the more hilarious distributions of team +/- that I have ever seen...
Compare that to ours last year...
Their best guy was better than Monté.
Their next best guy was basically Solomon.
There is a Grand Canyon in the middle there.
Some other juco forwards we were mentioned with:
Thornton committed to Memphis yesterday
Davenport committed to Memphis on April 9th
Rodriguez seems to still be available

Super frustrating as we did everything we could. Some recruits prioritize certain things more than others, and I guess winning isn't a priority of his like what was being reported
Also have to remember it was never Juiston saying that was a priority. that was his JUCO coach, and how knows how much he actually spoke for Juiston. I think he wanted to push Juiston in the KU/ISU direction and other forces wanted him to go the another direction.
I don't know how coaches do it. If the rumors are true, Depaul is basically going to beat out Kansas and ISU on a recruit. There's no logical reason that should happen.
If it was DePaul I would have expected the decision yesterday. That said thanks for the posters that are sharing what they are hearing. At this point even if it is DePaul I just want a decision from Shakur so the staff can evaluate there options.
One thought of hope here is Wigginton's commitment week were it went from all signs pointing to Oregon to committing ISU overnight. Since there was no announcement on his visit he may be leaning but still weighing his options. Prohm shill may have a pitch to give.
I think KU basically let him go. They had other priorities and were recruiting him in a backup roll.
If nothing else, at least Olive Garden Boy from Vegas was wrong
My hope as well....if he left without signing.....that's a good glimmer of hope. Might seem like a cool idea at the time....then step away and realize that program is horrid, they don't win and fans sometimes don't even get over 1000? Woof.
Wait, just heard from another source that things are still up in the air for Juiston and that there are still moving parts.
