The Milwaukee Hamilton basketball standout was scheduled to hold an 11 a.m. press conference at the school to announce his college choice. Instead, the press conference was cancelled by the Milwaukee Public School district, Kevon’s father, Doug, said. He said he was told by the district that...

This JMeyer pick to Duke has GOT to help the Vol cause..... May come down to who commits first. Jerry Meyer's Crystal Ball Predictions

JMO --- Based on media people complaining, doesn't appear that he is interviewing much or taking any more home/school visits, and, with 10/31 as the date, some would argue he already knows where he's going. However, with Looney/family incommunicado, doesn't really matter who's leading now. Just...

Most would take Jerry Meyer's analysis/ranking over that of a local sports reporter for the Times-Picayune. Add the same opinion (Magee > Cornish) from Rivals, ESPN, Scout, etc., over the opinion of this young recruiting reporter. If John Martin @ CA rated a UM recruit higher than a UT recruit...

Update: Adam Zagoria ‏@AdamZagoria 18m Kevon Looney will visit UCLA Oct. 20 after the MSU visit

Looney will officially visit Michigan State on Monday, Oct 14 followed by UCLA on Oct 26 per Duke site.

Some view Winslow's visit as Duke pressure on Looney to commit prior to Winslow/Okafor/Jones visit on 25th. Per CB's and talking-head twitter, Reid Travis appears to be solidly Duke as Plan B to Looney or with Looney possibly. Coach K making Travis wait til Nov 1st most likely. Still see...

This tidbit shouldn't hurt the UT-Looney cause. Winslow seems totally open with recent trips to UF and AZ. Could be K just upping the heat on Looney prior to the 31st or the door could be open NOW for either to walk thru. At this point, still think Winslow and S. Johnson to AZ, and Looney a...

Of the 23,794, I may have missed one or two.... but you "missed" Jerry Meyer's response to a tweet following the one you didn't miss. We are all for fair and balanced reporting, aren't we? Re: Cliff Alexander (and Jaquan Lyle), Pastner's got them for Memphis Madness on 10/18. All we can...

Jerry Meyer ‏@jerrymeyer247 1h Pretty much what I'm thinking RT @msmith71083: do u think it comes down to duke and Tennessee? And do u still think he picks duke?

Well, golly gee, thanks for "letting" me play. And I'll contact the NCAA, 247, Rivals, etc., and let them know that if the recruit can afford it and/or it's in-state, it doesn't count as an "unofficial".

Absent your usual sarcasm, you normally make readable/believable posts. Yet, for some reason, you don't seem to be able to grasp the idea that "good/great coach" and "great recruiter" are NOT mutually exclusive. In this "one and done" NCAA bb world, you've got to be a very, very good recruiter...

Unofficials to Wisc (twice), Marquette, and UT. UW hoping for a last visit after Looney completes officials. (per 247)

Just as good a chance that Duke or Kansas beat out UK for the top recruiting class in 2014. UK is "stuck" with the #9 PG (Ulis) and #3 C (Towns) per 247Comp. Even if they end up on top, it would just as likely be due to volume versus getting the best players like recent classes. JMO
