The House of Blue

Man, watching them play in an AAU setting must be tough. Probably pretty tough to tell who is who right? Is the consensus still that they are a lock for the cats?

Not sure, but I think both are top 5 talents. Andrew just makes everybody better. The game that was televised on ESPN he made the guy going to A&M look like a top 10 talent.

Again, I'm not sure who is better and perhaps we won't know for sure until they're on different teams in the NBA.

Here's video of 7-5 Mamadou N'Diaye, who's name has got a lot of run here locally, at the Amar'e Stoudemire Skills Academy. He comes in at No. 11.

You are about the 1,000th Maryland fan to troll this board regarding the twins. If you're so confident that they're not coming to UK, then there's no reason to come over here.

I'm sorry but you guys are so hypersensitive to the fact that they may actually end up at Kentucky. It's not that big of a stretch. You guys act like Kentucky is some middle of the road Big Ten team or something. I just don't get it.

Wow, guess he struck a nerve there huh? I think it's actually cool that posters can go on other team boards to post as long as everyone is respectful towards each other.

I believe that they are not 100% decided on where they are going just yet but in my gut I do feel that UK has a slight lead over UMD right now.

UMD is in desperate need for a true PG and if the twins don't come to MD then Roddy Peters is probably the guy that we could get, Jerry Meyer just moved him up to the 3rd rated PG overall behind Harrison and Kasey Hill and 16th overall.

No matter where the twins end up, the other school will still do fine, especially UK.

Sorry for the overreaction but again, we've had a ton of UMD fans come over and troll this board about the twins, acting like UK fans are completely naive about UK's position with the Harrisons.

I've been on record as saying that Maryland has a legitimate chance. I thin it's a two-horse race between UK and UMD.

It's certainly not a lock, but I have seen Jerry Meyer, Dave Telep and Evan Daniels all say that they thought UK had the edge. Definitely a consensus but definitely not a lock either.

You're setting up a straw man though Chris. No Maryland fan would be dismissive of Kentucky's chances here unless they were a total idiot. So why bother responding to the ones that do or set them up as representative of most Terps fans?

If posters here are saying Kentucky is 65% to get the Twins based on national experts opinions, Cal's history and just reading tea leaves - fine. But if posters are acting as if it's 90% or 95% done to UK then you're going to pull angry people out of the wood work because there's zero basis for that other than pure and utter speculation.

75% chance they are coming to UK.

If you terp fans can't accept that reality then so be it. You can cry about it on your own board.

If they don't come to UK then you'll be watching out for pig sh!t. One reason they will come to Lex and that's Andrew. Cal has landed his primary PG target every year since Rose. Highly doubt that will change when it will guarantee both players will be lotto picks after one year. Both would be drafted after one season at UMD sure, but lotto picks? Yeah, won't happen.

I'm not being condescending or rude I'm just stating facts for you. This isn't just UK fans who look at it this way. Recruits, national analysts, NBA scouts, and executives see the same thing.

I'm a huge UK fan, but I'll admit that this recent success is mainly Cal. I don't want to sound arrogant to a program and it's fan I respect. The twins can be successful there, just not as fast thanks to Cal. It's just the way it is.

What is Lod?

I for one don't mind when UK fans think that just because Cal has made a recruit a priority that it means UK leads for them. Hell, looking at his recent track record, I would be feeling the same way if I were a fan.

What is irritating is comments like this that suggest they MUST to go to UK to become guaranteed lottery picks and going somewhere else would mean that they wouldn't.

I think Cal is one of the best coaches in the NCAA but it's not like he is turning 3 star recruits into lottery picks, he is getting the BEST players in the country.

These kids are going to be lottery picks almost no matter where they end up, they are THAT good.

Then explain to me how Shabazz Mohammed dropped in the projected lottery (Chad Ford-ESPN) after picking the Bruins?? Don't believe me?? Look it up. It even came complete with comments from Ford about how had he gone to UK he would have been higher due to the fact that Cal is the best at showcasing young talent and UCLA will limit that. It may irritate you, but that doesn't mean it's not the truth.
