2014 F Kevon Looney

[BigZiti09]

Hope CCM and Staff have a solid plan B, if the Looney recruitment goes South, literally. Does anyone know the last contact CCM & Staff has had with Looney?

We are not gonna sign anyone in the fall unless it's Looney. Nor should we. The staff would hold the ship til spring. Reevaluate their options. My hope would be that we try to land a top 75 player or just hold til 2015. Hopefully Looney signs and none of this matters.

"No school recruiting Looney has been informed of his decision as of yet. No leaks, nothing to report." This from Eric Bossi on Rivals at 10:29 AM

Time is 12 (noon) eastern. Rumors that it will be on ESPNU, but I've not seen that as 100% nailed down.

ESPNU wanted to stream it but he declined it and told then he would rather go old school with the announcement. The only social media he is using is twitter

The last face to face contact was two weeks ago.

Wtf?

 

[Ericvol2096]

Looney just tweeted that his school rejected his announcement for today and doesn't know what he is going to do?

 

[SJAVol32]

Back to your regularly scheduled programs.

I can't take this dragging out any longer

Thanks. I knew I hadn't heard that it was official. Good to know.

Nobody knows but with being able to contact recruits anytime you want now. It was probably last night.

Yea it would really be frustrating if this doesn't happen today.

Feel sorry for the kid though that it happened to him like that last minute.

Don't think it was the school. I assume the WIAA is the equivalent to the TSSAA.

@Ben_Fred: FWIW, re: Looney's tweet, WIAA is the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

From what I understand neither Florida or Duke feels good about getting him. Sounds like Tennessee is cautiously optimistic, UCLA hoping, Michigan State and Wisconsin I've not heard much on.

As I've been saying for last few days, there's just not anything out there on him and I doubt that will change in the next hour and a half. Perhaps there could be a last second leak if Looney starts calling coaches, but if that happens I'm going to wait and let him announce.

Kevon told me it would be a small ceremony at his high school. I tried to find somebody to cover but we don't have anybody in Milwaukee. I'm going to go with Tennessee still, but only because I've not felt better about any other school's chances than I have about Tennessee's at any point in the recruitment. Definitely not a take it to the bank type deal. Hah.

Just have him tweet it out lol.

Thought the same thing lol

 

[BruinVol]

If he really hasn't made decision as late as last night.

This is a cover for him not being ready to decide.

Not good for us IMO.

He's made his decision. Stop looking so into it.

 

[cncchris33]

What authority would the WIAA have over a kid announcing his college intentions? I find it EXTREMELY hard to believe this is the first time in Wisconsin history that a kid has made an announcement in a ceremony at his high school. And to beat all, he's not even making a big deal or production out of it.

Bruin, you really are that "glass half empty guy" aren't you?
