Anyone surprised?
I think the Cohen piece in the CA clinched it.

He said the only thing he wanted since his freshman year was to get an offer from Kentucky. I don't think the Cohen article had anything to do with it.

LOL

BTW, what's official is that Skal ANNOUNCED he will SIGN an LOI with Kentucky.

And Cal said UK was his 'dream job'.
Funny how it became his dream job ONLY when the NCAA was going to start sniffing around him.
I call bs

assuming the NCAA Clearing house allows it.....then that is where he is going. Josh isn't Cal. he isn't going to call the kid like Cal did with that former player that had announced for Washington.
Pastner won't mess with someone else's recruiting class.

Who knows what his dreams really are? He went to Kentucky for Gerald.

Kentucky IS a better job than Memphis, I don't understand the connection.

He had the #1 rated class at Memphis. Memphis at that time was a much better program than UK. He would not have gone to UK if the NCAA had not come around to investigate Memphis.

Skal Labissiere says he didn’t like the media during his recruitment process.

your proof right there.
Memphians/media turn against Hamilton...and so he goes to UK. Maybe he was going there all along....but it sure is fishy.

Kentucky had regressed to a "has been" program before Calipari went there. His leaving had everything to do with the impending investigation.

Only a fool would believe that Skal wanted to play for Kentucky since his freshman year. Hamilton wanted Skal at Kentucky that's all this is

WOW... can we blame this on Calkins and others for losing this big time recruit?

Cal would have left for Kentucky had they called two years before when they hired Gillespie. There were no imminent NCAA violations at that time. If you think he wouldn't have left if offered then you are kidding yourself.

You flipflopped on UK and Georgetown.
Congrats on being half wrong

It's been a pretty good 24 hours for Memphis bball.

Unless Hamilton got paid somehow....his nightmare now begins.
Cal won't allow Hamilton as a handler at UK...and once he loses control of his meal ticket....it won't be pretty.

I dont understand how you can type all that nonsense out and post it without deleting it first. By far the dumbest assertion of the day. Kentucky is one of the top 3 programs OF ALL TIME with much better facilities and fanbase than Memphis. Good Grief
