Chieck Diallo rumors

[IAStubborn]

It will be good to have this finally finished.

I really don't want him to end up at Kansas. I'd prefer he not end up at St. Johns just because it will be annoying to wonder if he would have picked us if Matt had stayed (for the record I don't think that would be the case, but it would be hard not to wonder.) So I guess I hope it is Kentucky. Kentucky probably makes the most sense for him.

I find it silly people are tweeting that certain schools have momentum. They don't. They might have speculation momentum, but Diallo knows where he is going.

And wouldn't it be fun if he pulled off the stunner and picked Iowa State

If not ISU, Pitt. Jamie can't dance he needs this.

Here we go...

I guess I'm surprised at how many people care this much about him.

 

[WhatchaGonnaDo]

Well at the very least we will always have this thread

 

[IAStubborn]

I'm not basing it on just those tweets. I respect the way he handled his entire recruitment. He didn't w*ore himself out like Vaughn did to the media, for starters.

Exactly. Kid has been humble and has shown he is trying to make an informed decision which I can respect.

 

[jsb]

Yeah, Pitt would be the best option. Although, I think Iowa State has a better shot than Pitt. And Iowa State's shot is apparently .001%, so I guess I'm hoping for Kentucky.

jsb is melting down for some reason.

 

[WastedTalent]

I don't care. I just don't see that he is any better than 99% of high school recruits.

I'll say that when he visited here, there was some talk on this board that he was kind of a jerk and the other players didn't really like him, so I guess hearing that has stuck with me a bit.

Who had jsb in the first to say didn't want pool?

Before you freak out jsb, I know that's probably not what you meant. Although I'm not really sure what it is you're saying...

Well at the very least we will always have this thread

and each other. although judging from this thread, that may even be in question

Yep if not for a miracle in him picking isu i hope its uk

 

[Cyclonesince78]

Don't forget we might play UK in the big 12/sec challenge. Better hope he goes to SJU.

But then Matt would have nice things

yeah, I guess it kind of came off that way. I was trying to say that I'm not sure if he is the classiest of all classy people.

But I do want him! Believe me, I'd be celebrating like a silly school girl if he picked Iowa State.

Playing him once is fine. Playing him two or three times against a team that we would like to finally not win the stupid conference would be annoying.

 

[Pharmacy99]

I don't want Diallo to go to Saint Johns. I just don't want to see Matt A stealing another recruit from ISU.

 

[jsb]

jsb is melting down for some reason.

Honestly I'm not. I shouldn't have said anything. I have nothing against him at all. Not a thing. I think he's handled everything fine. I just don't think he's handled it any better than most players.

 

[WastedTalent]

ESPNU has a Signing Day Special tomorrow at 6pm. I'm not sure what kind of show that is, but maybe a Diallo announcement is included. Although, I'm surprised they wouldn't have pimped it some more by now.

In the past month, the only fact I've learned from this board is that our fanbase has a bunch of pessimistic crybabies. Diallo hasn't said anything and everyone here is jumping to conclusions because of what a few clueless Twitter people have been saying. If you think we are out you're just speculating. ISU is still in it so quit crying like a teenage girl with daddy issues about it. Until any real evidence is leaked, Diallo has a 20% chance of coming to here, Kansas, Kentucky, St Johns, and Pitt. So many of the fans on this site are just big babies.

 

[CyRyder]

Maybe Fred walking around today sold it for Cheick? What if Fred told the doctors, "hey, I've got a deal with a recruit. He'll sign if I get up and walk. Lemme do this"

So, you think CW and Hines are "clueless Twitter people?" O.K.

Even if he lands at Kansas?

I may support players before they go to KU and after they leave KU, but NEVER while they are AT KU.
