Look a little closer at the Crystal Ball breh. UK's percentage is what it is because a large amount of experts predicted UK before the summer recruiting sessions.

Nobody's predicted Brown to UK in two months. Since those two months, there's been 8 experts predict UCLA, 3 predict Georgia and one pick Kansas. General consensus has been that Brown may go Adidas and that UCLA is the heavy favorite.

Most of Newman's predictions are from over a year ago. Mississippi State picked up a lot of steam with him over the summer and most people now view them as the favorite. However, if any of the three I named go to UK, I think its him. Ellenson's a virtual lock for Marquette.

I think UK has a good shot with Zimmerman, but they gotta go up against his hometown school of UNLV.

Really tho, the thing that's slowed recruiting down for UK this year is that their roster is so stacked. Really, I don't think UK really needs a good recruiting class this year to still be a title contender in the '15-'16 season. But as far as Brown and Newman, I definitely think that UK has a shot with them since they won't commit until the end of this season. But I definitely don't think UK is the leader for either of them right now. That could change tho.
I hear the same shyt every year about how so and so picked up steam, so and so is leading, we don't get everyone we set our sights on, but we have yet to finish below top 2 in recruiting, and I doubt it's going to change now. No one knows who is staying and who is leaving, that is the only reason we won't have our class until people declare for draft.

Don't see a top 2 class for y'all this year fam. Keep in mind, most of the guys you are after, Kansas is after too. Kansas is gonna get one or two of your targets. But like I said, I don't think this year's recruiting class is critical for y'all.

Also, while you have seen this same shyt every year, there wasn't this big of a shift in the crystal ball at this point of the year in the past. You guys were the leaders with others trying to catch up. With these recruits, UK is the team trying to catch up, hence the reason Cal is pulling this combine stunt. He knows he has ground to gain.

In all honesty...If I'm a 5* HS hooper and Cal comes calling, why go anywhere else? He's going to get you to the League even if you're a bench warmer.

Breh Midnight is telling the truth. Brown may stay loyal to Adidas and Marquette has Ellenson's brother. I think Malik goes to UK unless Miss State offers his dad a job.
