Two big developments today….
1. Stephon Pettigrew is working out today in front of the folks from UK. The reports vary from him working out in E-Town for the coaches to him coming to UK to play with the players. Either way, Pettigrew is getting his game on for UK likely as we speak.
2. DeAndre Jordan is scheduled to let his intentions be known this evening about his Texas A&M future. We shall see.
We will give you any news as it happens….

lets hope he does come
1st
BIYAH!
April 15th, 2007 at 3:24 pm
The anxiety is killing me!!!
April 15th, 2007 at 3:24 pm
…crazy sigs
April 15th, 2007 at 3:28 pm
making a decision after meeting with his new coach very quickly it seems. I think he feels the love by the uk fans, including AJ Stewart, and is leaning towards lexington! I can’t pretend to know what a kid is thinking but, I would like to come to a big school (sorry A&M) where I am immediately needed.
April 15th, 2007 at 3:28 pm
Am I the only one hoping that coach Clyde doesn’t offer Pettigrew until we see what happens with Jordan, Patterson, Mcclain, and Lucas.
April 15th, 2007 at 3:30 pm
If Petigrew is signed, where does that leave us with scholarship numbers as it relates to Lucas & Pat?
April 15th, 2007 at 3:32 pm
6, We have 3 available.
April 15th, 2007 at 3:33 pm
i believe they would only have one scholarship remaining if they sign pettigrew
April 15th, 2007 at 3:33 pm
three offers available, and heck yes BG will wait for JL,PP, and Jordan, he is too smart not to.
April 15th, 2007 at 3:34 pm
we have 4 scholarships available with the departure of perry/sheray/woo/and morris and 2 have been accepted with aj stewart and mike williams. i hope that gillispie revokes mike williams offer and signs deandre, PP, and jai lucas
April 15th, 2007 at 3:35 pm
please let Jordan come…i hope the fans were smart enough to at least chant his name or somethin last night at the game….I have mixed feelings on Pettigrew….Billy G will know if he is good enough to play at this level…i hate how some fans want to get Kentucky players no matter what…if the kids arent good then dont get them, even if they are from Kentucky…
April 15th, 2007 at 3:35 pm
we have three to offer….one went to Coury last year and it likely will not be renewed
April 15th, 2007 at 3:37 pm
i believe jordan would come if BG recruited him to leave Texas AM, unfortunately that is not the case, so look for him to go elsewhere besides college station and lexington
April 15th, 2007 at 3:38 pm
Matt, do you think that Coury will remain with the team when his scholarship isn’t renewed? I would think so, since he came without the promise of a scholarship and hasn’t proven to be “UK scholarship” talented.
April 15th, 2007 at 3:39 pm
pettigrew dominated schools that often had 6 ft 4 centers due to the disparity of basketball talent in kentucky especially in rural areas such as around elizabethtown
April 15th, 2007 at 3:40 pm
any chance BG will try to change Bud Mackey’s mind and spur the Hoosiers for the boys in blue? that would really get under IU fans’ skin and fuel the rivalry
April 15th, 2007 at 3:41 pm
Long time reader, 2nd time poster…my 2 cents for what it is worth (since the weather has been too crappy for keeneland) is that Jordan WILL ask for his release and BCG will welcome him with open arms, he just can’t openly recruit him right now. I think the bigger issue is will TAMU grant him his release?? Any opinions on that?
April 15th, 2007 at 3:41 pm
i hope coury stays, most intelligent on the team
April 15th, 2007 at 3:42 pm
um does anyone get the thing where it says you post a comment too fast
April 15th, 2007 at 3:42 pm
TAMU will probably release him, if they dont, it will get ALOT of bad publicity and scare kids away from going there
April 15th, 2007 at 3:44 pm
Then I think Jordan becomes a wildcat!
April 15th, 2007 at 3:44 pm
we need to get bud mackey and darius miller for 08′ that would be absolutely splendid
April 15th, 2007 at 3:47 pm
The good thing is if Jordan is making a decision tonight, it will clarify one variable on the Pettigrew question. (In other words, if Jordan stays at A&M, we don’t need to wait for Lucas & Patterson before offering Pettigrew. However, if Jordan says he’s coming to UK, the water remains murky.)
April 15th, 2007 at 3:52 pm
With JL rumored to be ready to commit to UK and this news, things should be interesting this week. Anybody else hearing the JL rumors?
April 15th, 2007 at 4:00 pm
19, yes
April 15th, 2007 at 4:01 pm
wouldnt that be nice to get 2 recruits in PP and JL that donovan both went after and couldnt get due to the fact that kentucky has a tradition that is a million times better than floridas
April 15th, 2007 at 4:03 pm
24….where you hearing these JL rumors???
April 15th, 2007 at 4:10 pm
Let’s keep our fingers crossed on DeAndre Jordan. Hopefully, he will ask for his release and Texas A&M will grant it. I hate to even dream of signing Jordan, Lucas and Patterson. It would greatly improve our chances of having a better year next year. Seems like that is the best case scenario, while the worst case would be signing only Jordan or only Lucas. Surely we will come out of this with at least one of these guys.
April 15th, 2007 at 4:10 pm
I’m just throwing this out there – really not relevant to these recruits – but I have a question that I figure someone on here will know the answer to: I remember about 2 mos. ago hearing that Michael Jordan’s son was interested (possibly) in going to UK. At the time, it was thought this might be good publicity, etc. Of course, that was during Tubby’s reign, so we sort of had a different expectation then. But with that said, is he out of the picture now? Has he committed to any school? And what year is he in currently? (I think all this talk of Deandre Jordan got me wondering about MJ’s son…)
April 15th, 2007 at 4:11 pm
27- Several different sites. Nothing to back them up. That’s why I asked if anybody else had heard anything.
April 15th, 2007 at 4:11 pm
13, BG can’t recruit “Jordan to leave AM,” that’s tampering and is not only a violation but it would get him fired.
April 15th, 2007 at 4:17 pm
Here’s one. http://forums.scout.com/mb.aspx?S=48#S=48&F=1030&T=405262
April 15th, 2007 at 4:21 pm
I kind of hope we get Williams to prep for a year, or do something to save his scholarship for another year.
April 15th, 2007 at 4:28 pm
#23, good points, but there is still the McClain PF ranked around 50 that hasn’t committed anywhere yet that BCG has been rumored to be in contact with. As well, thinking of the future, the 07 class could use a JUCO player to come in as a Junior and provide more balance to the scholarship ugly disparity that has now come into play due to player attrition and Tubby signing the huge (soon to be) sophomore class.
April 15th, 2007 at 4:28 pm
I know Jordan was supposed to meet with the new coach today but does anyone else think the timing of this announcement is interesting given that he just spent a few days in KY? I’m thinking he will ask for his release. And if he does I see no reason on earth why BCG should not ask him to join him in at UK. In fact, it would help fulfill my fantasy of PP finally deciding on UK only to find out we are out of rides due to being able to get better players.
April 15th, 2007 at 4:31 pm
i like mike williams body, hes so strong and muscular. hes the kind of guy that you would just feel safe in his arms. i hope we give him 2 scholerships. go cats!!
April 15th, 2007 at 4:31 pm
Man o man I hope we get Jordan, PP, and JL that would be to good to be true. These kids will have an immediate impact for sure. Matt thanks for keeping us updated I will be checking all night for the good news fingers crossed.
April 15th, 2007 at 4:33 pm
23) Pettigrew is fifth on the list in that scenario. We need a legitamte 5 man, and if we lose out on Jordan, the offer goes to McClain. If we miss out on Lucas or PPatt, then pettigrew would get offered, but not from missing out on jordan.
April 15th, 2007 at 4:33 pm
I think the expectations of this recruiting class have grown immensly since Billy Clyde. It’s not going to happen overnight, but it sure makes UK Basketbaal worth talking about again.
April 15th, 2007 at 4:35 pm
#39 AMEN!
April 15th, 2007 at 4:36 pm
34) I should’ve refreshed before i posted. Good points on McClain, although he is 7 foot, a center, and from D.C. Rumor has it G-town is heavy on him right now with Hibbert and Green headed pro. We could use some juco kids though, like you said, to help out with 09.
April 15th, 2007 at 4:37 pm
anybody got a timeframe for this press conference?
April 15th, 2007 at 4:39 pm
29) Jordan’s kid isn’t that skilled. He was being talked about in the same way that walls was, a preferred walk-on role. He dosn’t really have any good offers
April 15th, 2007 at 4:39 pm
39, i think uk fans are finally realizing the potential uk has in recruiting and have grown used to average and below standards while under tubby smith.
April 15th, 2007 at 4:41 pm
how sick would that be to have 2 jordans on the same team, possibly getting the air jordan brand like unc has
April 15th, 2007 at 4:44 pm
I say Keightley buys Pettigrew some “high-rise” sneakers that makes him 2 or 3 inches taller, and there you have it. A 6’8 Kentucky bred “Winston Bennett type” power forward. Go Pettigrew! Pettigrew will PettiGROW!!
April 15th, 2007 at 4:44 pm
What worries me is he is announcing pretty quickly his decision…could he have already this fast gotten out of his loi? He isnt going to ppannounce to a different school if he hasnt gotten out of loi, and he apparently was supposed to meet with their head coach before he could get out of his loi… so this early of an decision from him worries me…hope Jordan comes, I really think having a good center next year will be more important then Patterson.
April 15th, 2007 at 4:46 pm
JEFFREY JORDAN IS NOT GOOD. Not an opinion. Simple ffact. Aubrey Whitewas a better ball player, and you see him at georgetown college? is he still even there? Look for jordan to be a decent D-II player or a D-I walk-on with skill level between Cameron mills and steve Masiello
April 15th, 2007 at 4:47 pm
47, we had a good center last year. Although, I think Jordan is probably better potentially than Morris. We need Lucas to ensure our big men get the ball like they should.
April 15th, 2007 at 4:48 pm
man i cant wait to hear news i wish uk would have a tv station on satellite that just constantly went over everything going on i dont get to see them ever on tv here
April 15th, 2007 at 4:49 pm
Have you seen Jeffrey Jordan’s highlight videos, 48? He would destroy Masiello and Mills. Well, Cameron would maybe beat him in a 3pt shootout, but that’s it. The kid is 6’1 but he has some hops. Not like his father, but he can get up on an alley oop.
April 15th, 2007 at 4:49 pm
47) he is announcing what he will do pertaining to A&M. I.E., Will ask for a release or not. He wont be saying he’s comming to UK or not, he’ll be saying if he intends to enroll at TA&M
April 15th, 2007 at 4:52 pm
If DeAndre Jordan is having a press conference tonight then it can’t be good for the CATS can it? To me, thats means that hes decided to stay close to home. If it took another 3-4 days, to me, that says, he had a tough decision because Mark Turgeon made it difficult, but in the end…playing for CBC was just to great of a desire.
April 15th, 2007 at 4:53 pm
51) Yeah, i’ve seen highlights and saw him play a high school game. You sure you arn’y thinkin of Eric Gordon? He’s the player that looked impressive in that game. Jordan really can’t play. Who has offered him a scholarship? UK’s walk on is his best offer by far.
And a 6’1″ player who can dunk isn’t a reason to be drooling over a kid. Rondo could finish alley-oops at 6’1, but you can’t do it often without the room for error. Aubrey, who i promise you was a better player could really throw down and shoot too.
April 15th, 2007 at 4:55 pm
49) Would you rather Carter and Patterson start or Jordan and Stevenson? Stevenson can hold down the 4 spot better then I expect Carter to be able to hold down the 5. No one knows for sure on Carter since he hasnt played in a real game in a while…but that is a probably a safe bet.
52) That would be strange for him to announce him asking for a release publicily. He would ask for that from AD and if granted then announce the news.
April 15th, 2007 at 4:55 pm
53, I think DJ already has his mind up that we wants to play for UK. But he has to go through the process of listening to Turgeon’s sales pitch. If he stays at A&M, I don’t think it will be because he would rather play there.
April 15th, 2007 at 4:57 pm
55) he wont be having a press conference asking, IMO, but it pertains to A&M, not us. He is gonna say he is staying put, or has been granted his release.
April 15th, 2007 at 5:00 pm
aubrey who?
April 15th, 2007 at 5:01 pm
aubrey white? ru kidding me
April 15th, 2007 at 5:02 pm
Jon, I meant in comparison to Massiello and Mills……Jordan is better athletically and speed wise. He looked like a smart player. Jordan is above both those guys’ skill sets. I was implying he was a 3 star or anythign higher. He’s a solid 2 star at the very least.
Micah, Jared Carter hasn’t really logged sufficient minutes to have an experience advantage over Jordan, if he comes to UK. But I think it’s a tough call between Patterson and Stevenson. If Stevenson could play the 5, then I’d like to see him there.
April 15th, 2007 at 5:02 pm
57) that sounds about right but of course it could potentially be great news for us if he decides not to stay at A&M.
April 15th, 2007 at 5:06 pm
57) Thats my point, he wasnt suppose to meet with his coach face to face until today. So that is awfully quick for him to meet the coach and then granted a release and announce the release in one day. Also how is he to know if in fact he will get the release back that quick? I hope we get him…but I find that he is announcing his decision in the same day he is to meet with his coach means he is planning on staying…hopefully I am wrong.
April 15th, 2007 at 5:07 pm
DeAndre Jordan has a tough decision ahead of him….
On one hand, he can stay at A&M and be part of their rebuilding process with a new coach and get tons of PT at a school where success is not demanded.
On the other hand, he can go and play for a coach he knows very well and likes immensely and play for a school where basketball is king?
I wouldn’t want to be him right now.
April 15th, 2007 at 5:18 pm
He did say last night that he hadn’t been granted a release yet so he couldn’t say that he was going to Kentucky.
April 15th, 2007 at 5:21 pm
My bet is Jordan stays at A&M. He know the recruits and returning players well and Turgeon is a good coach. Our hopes are with Patterson and Lucas, and possibly Pettigrew.
April 15th, 2007 at 5:24 pm
Jordan staying put to A&M- my TX source just confirmed it leaked out. He has let Gillispie know that he will not come to UK.
April 15th, 2007 at 5:25 pm
Decisions, Decisions, Decisions….DAMN….
Hurry up Billy Clyde and make them. You’re killin’ us…
April 15th, 2007 at 5:29 pm
“TX source”…didn’t we hear enough from “sources” during the Donovan hoopla?
April 15th, 2007 at 5:33 pm
Has there been a time given for this announcement?
April 15th, 2007 at 5:34 pm
any updates?
April 15th, 2007 at 5:35 pm
He had a face-to-face with Turgeon today, but he could have asked out of his NLOI many moons ago. Or maybe Jordan knows all he has to do is ask to get of his letter. With that, he would want to be respectful and talk to Turgeon so he’d be first to know he’s leaving.
If he stays, this would be textbook Donovan with the “can’t talk RIGHT NOW” stuff. Either way, good luck DeAndre.
April 15th, 2007 at 5:37 pm
I think Jordan will stay at A&M because they are going to hire his AAU coach as their new Asst.Coach.
April 15th, 2007 at 5:40 pm
Yea, I think he is probably staying also. Just gut instinct like with Donovan.
April 15th, 2007 at 5:44 pm
Why would anybody come and play for a bunch of rednecks.
April 15th, 2007 at 5:46 pm
74, please go back to where you came from
April 15th, 2007 at 5:48 pm
When MAtt interviewed Jordan the other day he was really talking about how close A&M was to his house and how his family could get there easily and watch him play every game. I think he is a real family type person and likes the idea of them being close. My gut feeling is he will stay too.
April 15th, 2007 at 5:49 pm
Any chance anyone coming redshirts for a year (like Williams)? Does that still take up a schollie?
April 15th, 2007 at 5:49 pm
#74 We’re talking about him playing for UK not UofL.
April 15th, 2007 at 5:49 pm
(74) I was always taught, (if you don’t have anything good to say, shut your piehole)
April 15th, 2007 at 5:50 pm
Very interesting about Jordan. I thought he was supposed to meet w/ the new coach of A&M this upcoming week and then make a decision. Maybe his experience at the Derby Classic had an impact.
April 15th, 2007 at 5:50 pm
Will be formally announced this week but it has been leaked out. Jordan staying with A&M. Good kid- too bad we don’t get him…
April 15th, 2007 at 5:50 pm
I have a problem with us possibly giving Petigrew a scholarship. He`s a Kentucky kid and I hope we grab every kid, from Kentucky who`s a division 1 recruit, but no D1 school is recruiting him with the exception of uMASS SO THERE`S A reason for that. Lets battle Florida, Duke, etc. for players, not Umass, Xavier or Western Ky.. If we get Patterson, Lucas, McClain, Jordan or a Juco great. If not, lets hold the scholarship for next year and not fill our allotment just to be filling it.
April 15th, 2007 at 5:52 pm

April 15th, 2007 at 5:53 pm
If you notice an uptick in thread derailment posts, it’s because other fans are scared sh-less of what direction we’re headed. Like someone else said, card. Heck, we beat the last three times in a row with flubby.
April 15th, 2007 at 5:53 pm
Leaked out to who?
April 15th, 2007 at 5:57 pm
I went to U oF L in the late 70`s and early 80`s because of cost. I can remember getting into their games for free, as well as a friend. They were either giving up football or moving to division 1aa. They are a one hit wonder, a stepping stone for coaches to move up the ladder to better schools and will never be anything different. They have Pitino because he wanted to come back to Kentucky, to be closer to his race horses and the Louisville job was available. Once their football team starts to lose again, their fans will go back into the closet.
April 15th, 2007 at 5:59 pm
Look there is no link for this kind of info bro. I won’t give away my source to whom it has been leaked. Just forget about Jordan. He’s not coming. Worry about Patterson and Lucas!!
April 15th, 2007 at 6:00 pm
He may not come, but he sure wants to.
April 15th, 2007 at 6:02 pm
Marc Maggard has posted on CP that UK is recruiting a wing for this year named Darrington Hobson. He looks like a player. I also think Jordan stays with A&M. No sources.
April 15th, 2007 at 6:06 pm
I sure hope DeAndre Jordan asks for & is granted his release from A&M…and also wants to attend UK. But will BCG give him a schollie? (as I know BCG has publically stated that he will not pursue A&M recruits to attend UK, but will he then pursue a FORMER A&M recruit to attend UK??? I sure as heck hope so!)
And am I the ONLY one that would be more than happy Stephon Pettigrew & possibly DeAndre Jordan added to the currently signed players of AJ & MW; even if UK doesn’t get Patterson or Lucas???
Let’s face it…Patterson & Lucas had almost 2yrs to commit to UK under OTS & didn’t…BCG has been at UK a little overa week & it’s now 5 days into the spring signing period… BCG & the Lucas’ have already covered how important Jai is to UK (BCG stated he would give the ball to Jai from day one & they know what he did for Acie Law)…& as of MON, BCG & the Pattersons are to have a face-to-face meeting.
If PP & JL can not give the OK to UK by WED…I’d be all in favor of moving on…IMO, UK should be too; as BCG can not wait until all other options are signed away to other schools before PP and JL make their minds up.
April 15th, 2007 at 6:08 pm

Hobson is committed to Pepperdine. Texas A&M had offered him a scholly. He is a four star guy, on the same level as Bradley coming out of high school. 6’6 1/2 ft.

Patrick Patterson is just wasting his time about all this, if he was smart he would of already commeted to University of Kentucky were i played but other than that he needs to choose and stop taking up all the spot light for nothing…
April 15th, 2007 at 6:15 pm
ok thanks
April 15th, 2007 at 6:15 pm
Louisville couldnt beat Kentucky with Tubby as the coach. #91, you must be a clown, because that is funny.
April 15th, 2007 at 6:16 pm
Louisville over Kentucky go back to your 43000 seat football stadium, oh yea, you filled that twice last year and your basketball facility thats older than most other buildings in Louisville that would probably fall with a thunderous dunk.
April 15th, 2007 at 6:17 pm
Dont forget Louisville is confirmed to be the dirtiest city in America. Why would anyone want to go there?
April 15th, 2007 at 6:17 pm
number 91 is a moron just trying to start shit on here don’t even bother reading what he has to say becuase he’s a louisville fan who doesnt know better considering we beat u of l the last 3 years in a ROW!!
April 15th, 2007 at 6:17 pm
Why do so many cayut fans havesuch thick, hick like accents? Have you ever listed to a UK call in show? It’s comical, 75% of the callers sound like all they have is Uk basketball.
I bet most have never set foot on any college campus. I’l hange up and listen to your answer.
April 15th, 2007 at 6:18 pm
Just curious Anonymous (96) why would CBS cover a story of this nature during 60 Minutes. I doubt there will be any ‘national’ media covering such an announcement. Not to take anything away from its importance to Jordan but it is not a national story of much significance that a network like CBS would cover.
April 15th, 2007 at 6:20 pm
Coach K told me last week that if my son could be arrested more than 6 times he`ll start recruiting him to play football at U of L. If not then he`ll look elsewhere
April 15th, 2007 at 6:20 pm
It is never wise to underestimate someone due to their accent.
April 15th, 2007 at 6:22 pm
Hicks don’t understand sarcasm either (104).
April 15th, 2007 at 6:24 pm
Heard that that Matt Walls will be working out at Scott Co. tonight with Billy G. or a future assistant there to watch him.
April 15th, 2007 at 6:24 pm
Hicks, you’re the only one typing with an accent.
April 15th, 2007 at 6:24 pm
Besides 60 minutes is doing the Duke story tonight
April 15th, 2007 at 6:26 pm
Jordan will not be granted a release to come to UK. Simply won’t happen and should not happen. On the other hand, UF was second on his list, maybe he will get a release to go there.
April 15th, 2007 at 6:26 pm
I love it! Louisville fans are really nervous right now. They will do anything right now to try and make themselves look better, no matter how stupid it makes them look.

111, Either he is released or not. School can’t put restrictions on a release.
April 15th, 2007 at 6:35 pm
I hope he comes but he was supposed to meet with new coach today how would he be granted his release this quickly so i think he is staying.

Hobson is rumored to be wavering on his Pepperdine commitment. He never signed. Source: Pepperdine Rivals Board.
April 15th, 2007 at 6:39 pm
111) FLORIDA IS NOT BEING CONSIDERED. It’s been said time and time again, no matter how idiotic you are, you can surely get this point. Options for Jordan: A&M, UTA, UK and IU. not florida. Florida was not his second choice, indiana was. It will likely be A&M UK or IU, UTA on the outside looking in, Florida is not in the top 3,400 for jordan

My wife graduated from TAMU a couple of years ago, and is still in touch with people there. She spoke with a friend in College Station today, word around there is that Jordan is staying. Too bad for us, I think he would have been a great Cat, but sounds like he didn’t want to go too far from family.
April 15th, 2007 at 6:41 pm
My source in TX just told me that the first story on SportCenter tonight will be about Jordan staying put…
April 15th, 2007 at 6:43 pm
121) He was a gillispie recruit, but this a different situatuion. We don’t have room for another wing. A.J.Stewart is our wing recruit. And very similarly rated.
April 15th, 2007 at 6:43 pm
I friend of mine who knows a janitor at a local high school who knows a guy in Tempe Arizona who knows a lady in Japan who happens to be a descendant of a person who graduated from Texas A & M says that Jordan is staying, but then that person also said he might be leaving too.
April 15th, 2007 at 6:47 pm
I wasn’t claiming to have a reliable source. I guess time will tell. He’s not coming though.
April 15th, 2007 at 6:49 pm
Wait a second I think I know your source. Is the janitor’s name Steven? Is the guy in Tempe named Ralph? Is the Japanese lady Shiley? If so then you are dead on. That is very close to my TX source. Guess we’ll find out on the David Letterman thow this Thursay….

My source can beat up your source.
April 15th, 2007 at 6:54 pm
It doesn’t matter all that much who we get for the next year. We already have the players to beat Louisville. I’m fine with beating the Cards and Hoosiers with Tubby’s guys then laying waste to the rest of the nation when BCG’s guys start coming.
April 15th, 2007 at 6:54 pm
TCP has a little blurb saying that Jordan may make a decision sometime this evening. Or, words to that effect.
April 15th, 2007 at 6:57 pm
AS LONG AS BOBBY PERRY, SHERAY THOMAS, SHAGARI ALLEYNE, ADAM WILLIAMS, SAUL SMITH, and those types don’t ever get a scholarship then we are in great shape. Come on down STUDS from 08,09, and beyond!!
April 15th, 2007 at 7:09 pm
130, thanks for the heads up. i hope the people affected are safe and remain calm

my 3rd wife’s cousin-in-law, from Louisville, just called to tell me that Tubby is leaving.
OK, he’s a little slow, but he fits right in there.
April 15th, 2007 at 7:26 pm
This may sound dumb but what is tcp?
April 15th, 2007 at 7:26 pm
who cares about Pettigrew besides Xavier, Georgia, and a bunch of other crappy schools. Spare me….

149 ok cool.
April 15th, 2007 at 7:33 pm
I have 2nd hand knowledge from Bill Byrne (AD at A&M) and he has stated that he will not let Jordan go to Kentucky.
He will refuse to let him out of the LOI before he will let BCG get him.
April 15th, 2007 at 7:37 pm
Byrne and Barnhardt are good friends and I seriously doubt it that he has stated anything about Jordan and Kentucky. If Jordan was wanting to transfer in conferance..that is the only was I see that A&M wont let him out of his LOI.
April 15th, 2007 at 7:40 pm
152. He’d be stupid to go on record saying anything of the sort. If the kid wants to go to KY, the best thing an AD could do would be to respect it if he can’t talk him into staying. Why have a cancer who felt he was forced to stay and play for you. He’d just transfer later after sitting out a year.
April 15th, 2007 at 7:42 pm
Kentucky or no Kentucky; Jordon is not going to follow a man without a real sense of integrity and honesty. He will, in the end, stick with Texas A&M and Coach Turgin — a man who cared enough about his team to fly home and meet with them face-to-face before allowing the move to be officially announced to the world. Jordon will prefer the face-to-face honesty of Coach T over the “I’m a Texan and a handshake means something to me” (Not!)– text messaging Coach G!
April 15th, 2007 at 7:43 pm
Jordan will not sit out a year. He might be a one and done.
Byrne and Turgeon have made it clear to A&M boosters that nobody will be allowed to get out of their LOIs.
Sorry.
April 15th, 2007 at 7:43 pm
No one can put any stipulations on where someone can or can’t go if they are let out of their LOI so take your 2nd hand knowledge from Bill Byrne and shove it!
April 15th, 2007 at 7:47 pm
It was no secret to any of BCG’s recruits that he’d leave if offered the KY job. That’s precisely why he hadn’t signed the extension offered. Jordan will stay because his family is near and he loves A and M. He loves BCG and has said as much. So much for your attempt to make UK look bad 155.
April 15th, 2007 at 7:47 pm
155.
You sound just like the Tubby defenders.
April 15th, 2007 at 7:48 pm
Some dude on TCP Marc Maggard is saying that Jordan will Not be
coming to UK.
April 15th, 2007 at 7:49 pm
Tic-Toc Tic-Toc…
April 15th, 2007 at 7:49 pm
156. You’re probably right. But if an AD told him “tough nuts” he could always counter and show him, so why do it?
April 15th, 2007 at 7:49 pm
155) Makes you sound like a dumb-ass to get on Gillispie to go to a school light years ahead of his, and praise Turgeon for making what is very nearly a lateral move.
April 15th, 2007 at 7:49 pm
When is this thing coming on?
April 15th, 2007 at 7:50 pm
159) it makes me physically ill that we agree on something. At least it’s only happened once
April 15th, 2007 at 7:51 pm
160. Not a big surprise. Disappointing though.
April 15th, 2007 at 7:51 pm
My wife’s third cousin has an acquaintance that has a freind whose son’s ex-girlfriend is from College Station and she says that her brother heard from a girl who was a secretary at A&M that Jordan is leaving!!!!! That’s what I heard yesterday. Pretty solid info.
April 15th, 2007 at 7:53 pm
Marc Maggard said that Billy Donovan to UK was a done deal!!!! He is VERY reliable.
April 15th, 2007 at 7:53 pm
THIS JUST IN!!!!
My sources have just confirmed that all of you claiming to have sources are idiots…
April 15th, 2007 at 7:54 pm
You can wait to hear it first hand, which is wise to do. But accept it, it’s true!
April 15th, 2007 at 7:56 pm
I’m not making a comparison between the schools only the integrity of the people involved in the situation. Coach G anc Coach T presumably demand a sense of committment from their players regardless of where they coach. The problem is that the way the Coach T is eons ahead of Coach G. when it comes to reciprocating. He was not honest and it was painfully obvious that he cared solely about his own ambitions and dreams. Turgeon, on the other hand, made it a point to fly home to meet with his players into the early hours of the morning before he allowed A&M to introduce him and to make the official announcement.
I’m sure that Coach G will do a great job now that he is here. The problem, 163, is that, in the end, he cares solely for himself.
April 15th, 2007 at 7:56 pm
When is it coming on????????
April 15th, 2007 at 7:57 pm
Actually Marc Maggard didn’t say he was not comming he said in his opinion he isn’t comming. He also said he could be wrong, has been wrong before and prolly will be wrong again…Thats MUCH different than saying he’s not comming as the poster here tried to lead people to believe…
April 15th, 2007 at 7:58 pm
my sources say you spell coming with only 1 “m”
April 15th, 2007 at 7:59 pm
171- That’s total BS and sour grapes. All I’ve heard from BG’s ex-players is good things. The only bad stuff comes from whiners like you who don’t appreciate that he took you from nothing to a school who could steal WSU’s coach. Jackazz.
April 15th, 2007 at 8:00 pm
174. nice
April 15th, 2007 at 8:01 pm
ill be here all week
April 15th, 2007 at 8:04 pm
Hey 173 – I wasn’t trying to lead anyone to believe jack shit.
The title of Maggard’s post on the premy board read “Jordan is
NOT coming to UK.” Feel free to back down.
April 15th, 2007 at 8:05 pm
It’s funny that KU fans think they have any shot at Jordan when Byrne would never release him to go to a big XII school or Kentuckyy
There are conditional releases from the LOI and Byrne would use that condition if in face Deandre asked out of his LOI.
April 15th, 2007 at 8:06 pm
KU????
April 15th, 2007 at 8:08 pm
Ummm Didn’t dispute the title, just the facts of what was said BY MM himself..lol
April 15th, 2007 at 8:09 pm
I hear he’s going to TAMU-Chorpus Christi
April 15th, 2007 at 8:10 pm
aTm AD already said last week ANYONE wanting out of their LOI after meeting the new coach would be let out unconditionally… Dunno why thats even a topic
April 15th, 2007 at 8:10 pm
so when’s this press conference for real??
April 15th, 2007 at 8:11 pm
did anyone say it was a presser??? Could simply be a statment is released…
April 15th, 2007 at 8:12 pm
oooo perhaps i misunderstood…
April 15th, 2007 at 8:15 pm
yea lots did I think… Matt simply sqaid Jordan would let his decision be known…Lots of ways to do that other than a presser, pe3ople just jumped the gun there a bit..lol
As long as the info gets out there though, makes little difference
April 15th, 2007 at 8:15 pm
Sources say that he’s putting a message in a bottle, sending it down the Mississippi, and Byrne and Turgeon are to row out into the gulf of Mexico in a dingy and retrieve it. We should know something early next week.
April 15th, 2007 at 8:19 pm
is it bad that i check this this site every 25 seconds?
April 15th, 2007 at 8:23 pm
same here man
April 15th, 2007 at 8:25 pm
96 – ok, was the “7:45″ press conference pacific time?
April 15th, 2007 at 8:27 pm
You all know he isnt making a decision tonight right?
April 15th, 2007 at 8:28 pm
183, that counterdicts what was in an ESPN article saying that noone would be released from their LOIs.
Turgeon also stated that he had asked the AD not to allow any players leave.
Jordan is going to be at A&M.
April 15th, 2007 at 8:30 pm
i was under the impression that most universities let top recruits out of their commitments if the coach who recruited them left…maybe thats just me being stupid
April 15th, 2007 at 8:32 pm
I just telling you it was reported by several media outlets last week QUOTING the atm AD saying they WOULD be released AFTER meeeting with the new coach if they asked.
Maybe ESPN is jumping the gun and saying they wouldn’t because he was not going to release them BEFORE meeting the new coach…
I dunno, but Iam 100% sure if he asks out, he will be let out…HE is 100% sure of that if you read some of his comments
April 15th, 2007 at 8:37 pm
Well this sucks
April 15th, 2007 at 8:50 pm
195, I am 100% sure he will not be at Kentucky next year and that is all that matters.
April 15th, 2007 at 8:55 pm
He isnt having a presser anyways.
April 15th, 2007 at 9:00 pm
197. What you are 100% sure of means squat!
April 15th, 2007 at 9:49 pm
Announced on Texags insider site – Billy Luicci Maroon and White Report that Jordan has told Turgeon he will honor his LOI and is an Aggie. UK can move on to the next recruit.
April 15th, 2007 at 10:00 pm
your laggin matt it’s reported he is staying at tam your falling behing
April 15th, 2007 at 10:02 pm
Press Conference is complete! He got cold feet and just decided to stay at home…
April 15th, 2007 at 10:19 pm
my source:
Jordan changes mind and moves to gatorville!
http://www.kingdonovan.com
April 15th, 2007 at 10:20 pm
No news is good news, the longer we wait I think it will work in Kentucky’s favor.
He is one and done anyway, I would sure like to have him even if it was for one year.
