We have been told by Houston fans on here that CUSA is a joke so know you want to post here and show your jealousy? UofL backed off because they have a new coach and have to be extremely careful due to all the crap they were in trouble for....How do you know other schools would have backed off, he just now reclassified, I am sure a bunch of schools would have been after him for next year....Either or it doesn't matter and I don't understand all the haters out there for this guy coming to WKU.....ESPN is also besides themselves that WKU can get a guy like this, to me this is good for college basketball to have guys spread out and not all play for one school....So haters continue to hate, its all good....
jealous? i noted that his eligibity is sketch, why would i be jealous of that
" I thought it was beneath any Houston fan"
1) let not use made up c-usa rhetoric on actual people...i doubt a single houston fan has actually said this...but im sure plenty of c-usa fans have said "we said it" to put this imaginary chip on their shoulder
"how do i know other schools back off"
2)the recruting season for 2019 started 5 months ago..2019 aau started 2 month ago...the fact that he reclasssified isnt a good reason why he wasnt recruited hard..his talented aau team mate (ranked in the 80s in top 100), has over 35 offers and everyone is after him
2b) he is a 5star center, with a basically 4.0 gpa...the 3 schools recruiting him the hardest where cal, rutgers, wku ...he already stated he wanted a kentucky offer numerous time. kentucky never showed any interest despite him trying to visit them, on his own dime twice (again this is the #3 recruit of 19 and a center)
---context im not sure how familiar you are with how highly covet 5star centers ..elite bigs are a rarity...
---context look at the school that were interested in him before the Texas scandal happened
i cant tell if wku fans notice something is very odd about his recruitment but just choosing to ignore all of the red flags because homer-ism...or just arent familiar with how recruiting work..since you arent familiar with the fact 2019 recruiting started months ago, im thinking the ladder
