Breaking: UNC spokesperson calls Brandon Ingram a liar

Brandon Ingram Decision β€’ Apr 22, 2015 01:18 PM

UNC spokesperson said they have not received a notice of allegations. Brandon Ingram saying UNC received notice from NCAA on April 17

I am pretty sure UNC is out for Ingram after calling him a LIAR

All I'm saying is Cheick Diallo is following many KU Twitter pages and no other teams

Which Jayhawk Will Improve the Least? β€’ Apr 21, 2015 07:14 PM

@wissoxfan83 All Tyler has to do is score 4pts and have 2 assists to double last years output. I believe that would be the most improved player! HCBS did say he was going to lighten the schedule so I would guess you are dead wrong lol...

All that's on Ingram's twitter is dook this and dook that. Doesn't look good. He is not getting enough love from KU fans. I am starting to think he's Dook bound. The only thing I can say is he IS following the entire KU team. But our fans really need to step it up!

I am now Diallos friend on FB and I guess you all could be too. If you're interested in being FB friends with Diallo then send him a friend request. Chances are he will add you.

This actually benefits Ingram because NBA scouts will have the university games to scout him and its more national exposure.

@Crimsonorblue22 next years Kansas men's basketball team. Sorry I should have mentioned that

Brandon Ingram Decision β€’ Apr 21, 2015 02:54 AM

@drgnslayr another interesting fact is that 4 guys from the 2015-2016 team are following Bragg. 2 guys from the 2015-2016 team are following Diallo. 8 guys from the 2015-2016 team following Ingram. I think the chances of us landing Ingram are better than anyone might think.

Brandon Ingram Decision β€’ Apr 21, 2015 01:33 AM

Cheick Diallo recently frended Christian Garrett on FB. That's an interesting find?

@HighEliteMajor Thank you and I enjoy your work on buckets too. I hope you all can stomach my horrible spelling and punctuation but I just don't want to take the time to do it right. I also have 15 different feeds going sifting through info to see how accurate I can get with recruiting by the time late night gets here.

Brandon Ingram Decision β€’ Apr 21, 2015 01:15 AM

@HighEliteMajor Mine too BUT I think we all grieved for him and his sister to a large degree. I think we all connected on an emotional level that wanted to protect him either as a brother or parent looking out for their young. He was also such a presents on the court! BEAST

.@Jhawk0505 I'm not hearing positive things about St. John's chances to land Cheick Diallo.

Brandon Ingram Decision β€’ Apr 21, 2015 12:56 AM

Kentucky reaches out to three-star center. With the missed opportunity to add Stephen Zimmerman or Mike Thorne, and a roster in need of another big body, John Calipari has now reached out to yet another former Charlotte 49er. http://kentuckysportsradio.com/main/kentucky-reaches-out-to-three-star-center/ β†— Does this make a statement about Diallos decision?

Brandon Ingram Decision β€’ Apr 21, 2015 12:32 AM

@SoftballDad2011 I have an opinion on Diallo and Ingram BUT I really don't like sticking my neck out there because I would hate it if people on here started telling me that my info stinks. I will not give you my opinion but I will tell you what I have found in my recent searches.

I might have looked at Diallo's FB to find out he is friends with more UK players and UK NBA'ers than he is with KU guys. It has been said that he has talked to Embiid and he is friends with him on FB along with Svi (our only 2 foreign guys in recent memory). He did have over 3000 friends so its kind of hard to recognize every one of his friends on FB that could possibly be trying to steer him in the UK direction but give me some time I'm kind of new to this. The recent uptick in the UK 247 CB is only due to all the media buzz that's going down atm. Just google "Cheick Diallo" and the first 20 results or more are all UK articles written in the last 24 hrs. There probably is some actual truth to it since coach Cal just visited him. I know Diallo has said he wants minutes and is not fond of the platoon thing at UK. There are already 3 other quality bigs at UK so you do the math. Everything on twitter up until Diallos meeting with Cal was KU, KU, KU now its a bag of mixed nuts but there are still more KU nuts in the bag. I would watch Matt Scotts 247 CB and if it changes then start warring.

They are finalist but hearing Kentucky, NC State, UCLA are out of the running for Brandon Ingram. Leaving Duke, Kansas, UNC as potentials.

Couldn't help my self and had to post this...

Brandon Ingram Decision β€’ Apr 20, 2015 03:56 PM

I am actually good with our current roster. I am letting go of any hopes of landing anyone else in this class. KU has a bunch of glue guys and future NBA'ers kind of like our 2012 team and I believe if given the opportunity Mickelson will flourish this year. Look at Jeff Witheys numbers back in the 10-11 season. They have very similar numbers and I believe he is due for some PT of we don't land Diallo.

FOE?......come on down Brandon Ingram! β€’ Apr 18, 2015 11:05 PM

@drgnslayr If that were possible I would be all over it!

FOE?......come on down Brandon Ingram! β€’ Apr 18, 2015 11:03 PM

both Ingram and Davis grew during their senior year and both have over a 9ft standing reach
!ingram.jpg β†— !Anthony Davis.png β†—
Senior year hs photos both 6'9" with both played as guards for the majority of their lives and I believe Ingram could be a game changer with some time with Andrea Hudy. After watching Diallo I just think landing these 2 would be so much more than anyone could imagine.

FOE?......come on down Brandon Ingram! β€’ Apr 18, 2015 10:36 PM

I wish that he and Diallo would commit to KU. Some other folks on other sites and probably some on Buckets are debating on missing on Zimm. Ingram and Diallo both have the exact standing reach as Zimm and could both alter and block shots inside. Having 2 guys with a 9'1" standing reach on the floor at the same time would actually cause MAJOR problems for other teams. Ellis isn't much of a shot blocker but between the 3 of them rebounds wouldnt be a problem on either end of the floor.

I doubt Bill Self jumps in his car and drives to see any of the guys he is recruiting. This baby flys at 565 km/hr which is approximately 350 mph. Self can visit most of the guys he is recruiting in under 4 hrs too. It just costs a whole lot more than fueling up the Escalade.

Its fuel tank is 870 gal at $5.90 a gal is 5133 big ones each way lol. That's where all of the recruiting costs come in plus what ever the payment and upkeep is per year.

Papagiannis is in the same situation as Maker with about a 50/50 chance of playing in college next year. Could be a great 3-4 year player.

Recruiting Rumors β€’ Apr 17, 2015 01:11 PM

The 4 star Papagiannis is currently considering Maryland, Oregon, KU, NC State, and PSU. No true leaders in his recruitment currently.

@JayHawkFanToo Yeah I did say if we miss on all of the OAD types HCBS would make a full court press for Georgios Papagiannis last week. I guess my clandestine operations are good for something.

@HighEliteMajor It will not be a disaster if we miss on Diallo. I have followed HCBS on his social outlets and if you watch his new followers every day you will see that the transfers (handlers) will all of the sudden start following HCBS. That is clear as day to me that the lines of communication are open between some of the best transfer talent out there. I think things will be hunky dory by the end of this month.

@JayHawkFanToo I believe that recruiting just got harder for UK because coach Cal has ruined his reputation with recruits parents due to high levels of arrogance. These parents don't want some arrogant SOB mentoring their kids. Remember this? John Calipari Getting Blasted For His β€œClassless” Post-Game Interview Following Victory vs. Notre Dame. He is shooting him self in the foot but that's ok he is missing on ALOT of talent this year and can not possibly replace the talent that just left for the NBA. After watching tons of HS all star games I think these kids are wanting to play together but I don't think its any school in particular. UK is loosing its luster here lately and I am sure it has something to do with Cal's attitude.

Courtney Cronin, recruiting editor and creator of "Beyond The Game: Malik Newman", thinks that Newman will most likely commit to UK

I did see where one of the guys HCBS is recruiting is keeping his home town on his final list of schools because he is telling a few ladies he is on again off again with that he is staying in state. I would imagine it works that way for a lot of these guy so they can have their cake and eat it too. Right up until they commit and then I guess its off to greener pastures? Maybe that's one more benefit that these boys have figured out and this could be just another reason to wait it out until the end of April first of May?

I'm hearing Cheick Diallo to Kansas??? β€’ Apr 15, 2015 02:44 AM

@dylans Since starting this operation I am getting good getting in the know really fast. For example if you wanted to know about Malik Newman's situation you find him on the web. Then you find out he talks with a girl by the name of Courtney Cronin about his recruitment. You find out that she is lagit because Jarrance Howard is folloing her. You also find his closest friends and family all linked together because of all this info posted up voluntarily by ALL of his close friends and family. Nothing to report atm but I just did my recon and will follow up on it tomorrow.
