It does sound like that, but Goodman is really dialed in and connected on the CBB scene, so who knows.

I do think it’s UT or VT, but other than that I’m truly not sure anyone knows, including Blackshear.

Sounds like to me he’s hinting he’s going back to va tech

Seems like a waste of time taking several visits only to go back to VTech.

Woah why all the sudden pessimism? I haven’t seen anything noteworthy to say he’s going back to Tech after the last two days of positive UT vibes

While that would suck, it is a small victory that it keeps him away from all other SEC schools. I still find it hard to believe that he hitches his wagon to the unknown of what Mike Young will do for him at VT. If he stays there, it would seem that it is based purely on comfort level in Blacksburg independent of anything else.

Bru is just naturally pessimistic and contrarian in these situations. Might even be a little manic.

I believe KB believes a year playing under Coach Barnes will be pivotal in his development. Its' not simply all about being a high draft pick, but in getting the best out of himself so that he succeed for the long-term at the next level.

This is such a cliche and shallow statement...

KB wants to win and get drafted high, its pretty simple. Can Rick do that? Sure. No one ever said Rick is a bad coach, he just absolutely sucks in the NCAA tournament. KB has to decide if he is willing to sacrifice personal glory for a better chance at winning in March/April. And maybe he ignores all of that to stay home and play for a meh Gators team? Or not do anything and stay at VT which could be understandable?

Really interesting dynamic with all these teams...

If he picks UT does that announcement come first? Or does he hold off until UT makes an announcement about the status of the UT player whose scholly he'll be taking?

Don’t listen to this guy. He is full of it. I’ve seen him posting numerous times saying similar things like, “As I’ve reported, I think UK is in a great spot with Blackshear and my sources lead me to believe they are a very real threat to land him.”

He’s taking all angles like most reporters that way he can say he was right.

THIS.

I have liked him over the past year or so because he seems to put in a lot of work, but he’s really been all over the map on Blackshear. And of late it’s been, commitment on his visit to UK is likely, this is a UT/UK battle with UK the heavy favorite, heading VT is a very real option here, and then today as I’ve reported the chances for Tennessee are very high.

He’s a solid reporter who has broken some actual real basketball news over the past year, but he’s as clueless on KBJ as most national media. He’s doing what reporters do which is throw their hat in the ring on big commitments and hope something he says sticks. He has no clue where KBJ is headed. Literally spend 2 minutes scrolling through his last 10 tweets and you’ll see 4 different perspectives on KBJ.
