A lot of people really believe this is a package deal... we will see how that works out.

IF it does:

Washington doesn't have room for both with Aziz
Hoping KU will sign a bunch to fill up slots

do we have a shot?

They will go to Kentucky. As soon as the 5 guys declared for the NBA I bet Ross and Jones called each other and said "hey, lets go to Kentucky together, play one year and then declare for the NBA".

I have moved on from those two guys.

We can always hope, but the way this year has gone so far, I don't have a good feeling about anything.

Kentucky all the way, mark it down.

 

[NickZepp]

Looks like it's Kentucky to me. We are really looking bad for next year.

 

[MNsooner]

Why does it look like it is Kentucky? Just because you think Calipari is a good recruiter or do you have an actual reason?

 

[sdcloud9]

Not that OU was sure to get Jones and Ross but Kentucky's late recruiting surge each year is going to be this way from now on.

They will lose a group of one and done players and then reload the next year with the top recruits that are left.

This is why the one and done rule is dumb.

I know Kentucky will lose scholarships at some point due to low graduation rates but they only need eight kids to win anyway with the calibre of recruit they are getting.

Washington just had a scholly open up today....Elston Turner is transferring

 

[soonerczech]

I don't think the timing of his transfer announcement is anything but a sign of where they are going to be headed. I'm sure the transfer was suggested by Romar.

I just mentioned that because some people thought that UDub didnt have the scholly to offer TJ and now with this dude transferring they have one available.

Well, it sure doesn't look like they'll package-deal announce OU. So I'd say they're both UK bound, because a. Calipari can recruit, and b. they're a high profile program that obviously needs recruits. Unfortunately, OU is not at their level right now. Seems logical to me that they'd both go to UK.

 

[MercedeSooner]

The actual reason is because Calipari gets whoever they want sadly enough.

I don't think they will be a package deal. Friends out of HS do this sort of thing all the time, tell the media they want to play together and then announce on the same date. A vast majority of the time it does not work out.

SIAP but according to this link, Jones has narrowed his list to Kentucky, Oregon, and Washington. Found it while browing CatsPause this morning. The referenced Scout article is a Kentucky site, so TIFWIW.

Yep. The only thing that would draw him away from the West coast is Kentucky. It's over. We can stop kidding ourselves.

Kids are choosing South Florida, Central Michigan, Detroit and New Mexico over us. Why wouldn't they choose Kentucky over us???

More great news.

They are both going to commit to Oregon, when Capel takes the job next week.

Ha! Wow! I hadn't even thought of that. I don't think it will happen, only because it's not an ACC job. But you never know. Creative idea though!

 

[seniorsooner]

I don't think Capel could get a job with the Tulsa 66ers right now, much less the Oregon job.
