I mean, you really have no idea what's going on, so to call him a dbag is a little rash

This. Apparently a school assembly midday is a distraction. Who would've thought taking kids out of class for 30 mins and then trying to get them back in class would be a distraction to normal school activities :lol:

Hope he still announces today. He picked a day special to him

NOVEL IDEA ALERT:

Let's all wait to figure out what is going before assuming anything.

NO. Volnation is Swahili for overreaction and irrationality.

Agreed but
Should have been covered well before today.

I think here in KY, all UK recruit announcements are put on KET and it is mandatory viewing in all schools. Not like they are educating them anyway.

Damn...

People in life put things off. That's just how it is. I wish it didn't happen, but this sort of things probably happen somewhat frequently.

I'm hearing he will still announce today.

That would be funny...but I'm born and raised in Ky lol

TIFWIW, but the main basketball guy on TOS (Celtics) said this morning he heard Tennessee followed by UF/Duke

Celtics is a AAU guy out of Ga.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

If he chooses Florida, I'll literally puke.

 

[volnpowell]

From that Bullis dude on 247 Gator board

"Do not believe we get Looney, but stranger things have happened...Tenn is the school that has closed super strong here like we did with Devin....I am still on Devin Robinson high"

"Looney would just be icing on the cake...if we miss, no one expected us to get him anyway...still think Tenn followed by Duke....why anyone would go play at Tenn in Cuonzo's O killing system is beyond me though....especially a top 10 kid but family has deep ties to Knoxville"

Side note: that boring offense is 3-0 against the Gators

I LOVE that side note!

 

[kentuckianavol]

You from Indiana?

Its a really long story im from Gallatin TN moved all over the place in TN and at one point during my 7th grade to 10th grade years i was living in Indiana i went to North central actually when AJ Ratliff (sad story) was mr. basketball there. tried out for their basketball team my sophomore year and then all of a sudden my parents decided to move. loved it up there that school is rediculously huge.

 

[HialeahGator]

UF guy (Celtics) said no UF sources he has spoken too thought UF was getting him as of this morning.

Duke's insider posted this morning that he was hearing UF was getting him.

UT guys don't have any clue what was going on.

 

[SlyStone]

There could be a very good reason to not allow this. A big testing day or something similar.

The big problem I have is why has it just now been stopped???

That's the big issue

Yep, you would have thought his HC and the School AD would have known this way ahead of time to inform him to move the date or time. Troubling times in the Cheese State sire!

So the WIAA isn't to blame after all. No word on when Looney will make his announcement now. My own guess? Does it via Twitter today anyway

JP Cadorin‏@jpcadorin
Without any other info, I can't imagine why an MPS would block this. The publicity of a city kid going to one of these schools is unreal.

 

[ukvols]

My high school would have never blocked a kid's announcement like this, but then again, I did attend a private school.

 

[ranradVOL]

The superintendent is actually a woman. Kathleen Cooke.

 

[shanman-]

My school made a huge deal about junior College signings..... But we never have people go d 1 though

 

[Panther]

At North Central just guessing based on your tage name...

Panthers is the most common mascot in IN...I'm not big time yet, so no North Central

 

[SJAVol32]

Ugh. Something has to happen.

Correct. Date has been set for a month and a half, you wait til 2 hours before his announcement?

 

[10ASEEVOLSFAN]

Wait until Michael Meyers meet that superintendent tonite

 

[SJAVol32]

The only name of the three that are considered for his services that hasn't been mentioned as possibly being out is Tennessee. That has to feel good.

What Duke guy posted that? I've been all over their boards and haven't seen that. I've seen them say they don't feel confident in their chances, but haven't said where.

 

[BruinVol]

Plenty of reasonable reasons not to allow it. Timing is my only issue

 

[InVOLuntary]

I've been sitting here refreshing and not getting any work done. I've all but conceded a totally unproductive morning and this shiz happens! :banghead2:
