HUGE recruiting weekend for UK and no story?

  • usa1000 said...

    I agree that generally the staff is on top of things. This is first time I have ever complained about coverage, but if the highest rated recruit since Tim Couch is potentially on campus we should probably at least confirm or deny his presence. The Alexander kid has offers from EVERY school in the SEC plus FSU, OSU, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, the list goes on. He also has us in his Top 5 right now.

    As I said, generally the staff does a great job, but if this kind of kid makes it to campus without as much as a peep from the kid, his coach, his parents, etc. it is a huge swing and miss. It stinks that they are short staffed. Getting a kid like this to campus is really big.

    Ask anyone that covers recruiting on a national level and they will tell you that Alexander is unbelievably tough to track down and when you do track him down, hard to get any info out of him.

    Obviously, I'm at Peach Jam right now and that is my main focus. I can't call football recruits while I'm at the biggest basketball event of the year.

    Alexander has been popping up on campuses around the country. Very hard to get a handle on.

    Who's bitching guy? I asked for an update on who all is exactly on campus, and now I'm bitching? I am a little put off that BBK (which is a free site) has info. on what could turn out to be one of the biggest weekends recruiting wise before this site, but it is what it is and when one of the two hardest workers on this site leaves, then it's to be expected I guess. Either way, I'm seeking information, not bitching. You must be a basketball guy.

    Moss my comment was definitely not aimed at you, you asked simply for an update when possible. nothing wrong with that.

    if MacKensie is indeed on campus the Alexanders must own their own G6.

    according to 24/7 he was at Bama for a visit on 7/18, at a FSU camp yesterday, and is in Lexington today?

    darn i hope he is getting some FF miles.

    Im sorry Chris but your crazy if you think we, the paying members, are gonna buy some weak BS excuse like not being able to be in two places at once...better step it up pal! LMWAO.

    I feel for you bro...until TCP finds a suitable replacement for you former partner in crime, ypir gonna have a pretty hefty load here, but i know you will continue to kill it.

    Chris Fisher = recruiting wind beneath my wings. Lol

    Yeah my bad, I didn't even see the other post when I typed that. The tone was a little more harsh than I intended also going back and looking at what I typed. Apologies.

  • Sounds like Cooper is heading to Louisville (who hasn't offered according to 247) tonight per his tweet:

    @_cjCooper1 "Louisville Bound tonight #cardnation wassup ?"

    So is he making it a twofer weekend in the Bluegrass state?

    I think he is visiting both schools. He seems to favor the Dirty Cards right now.

    Wow.. I didn't know JDrum had left. I'll miss him and his info. Hope we can get a replacement that's actually worth a damn. lol

    yeah, I talked with him on Facebook right after he announced he was going on vacation. Said that his contract was up and that he was offered a similar job with another place and jumped at the chance. I agree, he will be greatly missed and his insights were great. Was one of the best

    Agree Moss...goldenbearcats? Get outta Big Blue Nation Cincy lover...we all want updates when several top recruits are on campus.
    Get off MossCats back dude...
    Moss..247 lost Jeff Drummond...so football updates are gonna be slower than usual for the time being....Matt May will have to double down...(thanks for your time and effort MM!) And to my buddy JD...Im gonna miss ya bad my man. Good luck wherever you land...dont forget to sign in and say hey all along...BBN 4 Life!!
    Chris Fisher is more basketball..but he'll need to help Matt take up some of the slack left by the football update KING, in our dearly departed JD!!

    I hear that Boaz loved his visit..as did Corey Cooper.(But who wouldnt if John Wall was your unoffical host??) The twins aka Makenzie and Makenro Alexander, not heard a whole lot offeedbac on thier vist just yet..but just having them here with other big time recruits cant hurt. Never know when two or more of the kids will hit it off and form a relationship..decide to come together!! Im hoping this happens...If we land Cooper, Joseph, and the twins...then Drennon and Timmons...I wouldnt really care who else signed...I'd be tickled BLUE!!

  • Best of luck to JDrum. . Please give him my best. I have really enjoyed following him over the years. Chris you and Matt do a great job so no need for any type of excuses. You guys are greatly appreciated and honestly are quite adept at multi-tasking :-)

  • I wonder when we can expect a recap of who made it, who (if anybody) didn't make it and basically how they felt about the visit. Plus who from this weekend we might be getting an interview on.
