Kentucky already has Nick Richards. Mo will be a part of the Fab Five at Duke.

I'm sorry. I guess I should just shut up and accept the very peculiar groupthink that a 5 star 7 footer who values academics is going to choose a mediocre basketball program like Michigan or Texas over the greatest coach of all-time at a top-flight university who recently landed guys like Okafor, Tyus Jones, Jayson Tatum, Harry Giles, and Marques Bolden.
You remember a kid named Myles Turner? Or LaMarcus Aldridge? Or Kevin Durant? Obviously they can't do it with the consistency of Duke, but Texas has no trouble getting top talent.AxeS24 said:rome8180 said:I'm going by what he's said, not his crystal ball pick from a year ago or whenever he made it.
Then we are in wait and see mode. No way a kid like Mo goes to Texas or Michigan. It's just silly talk. Slater has had every opportunity to change his CB to "cloudy" or another school and hasn't done so.

You seem very on top of this recruitment, what else can you share about Bamba's inner circle?
rome8180 said:From everything I've read from insiders including Slater, we've been on the outside looking in since Bamba's recruitment started getting handled by his brother.
Also, we didn't exactly handle things well with his AAU coach. Backed off Gak, didn't really pursue Randolph, and did whatever the **** we did with Green. (BTW, even if we land Duval, I think we lost out on that one. But that's a different discussion.)

I have never seen Slater say we are on the outside looking in. He has said things like "nobody knows right now" and "wait and see" and "hopefully Duke steps it up with Duval and Bamba."
We'll just have to wait and see what happens. I wouldn't be shocked with Duke or Kentucky. I would be shocked with Texas or Michigan.
For full disclosure, Mo is my favorite recruit in the cycle, and it isn't close.
