Josh Selby Update

One thing everyone should know is that you cannot tell anything about a recruit's character by the way their recruitment goes. The same guy that seems all about "me" during his recruitment, or does the hat dance or whatever turns right into a "yes, coach" "sure, coach" guy the day he sets foot on campus.

Some of the highest quality kids have a very difficult time choosing schools, often because they are dealing with a bunch of people that they genuinely like that are pulling them in different directions. Some of the nicest guys have a hard time telling people "no."

This is a first for me, but I was just told by "a reliable source" that CBP isn't very confident concerning Selby's choice tomorrow night. Something along the lines of "I could be wrong, but I don't think so" when asked if Tennessee fans would be happy tomorrow night.

From what I have heard, he has yet to even decide. He's going back and forth between the two and at this point it could end up being either so any prediction is short-sighted.

There is a rumor on TOS that Bruce told some Clayton employees (at some kind of meet and greet thing I presume) that he isn't confident. Selby wasn't mentioned by name, but it was apparently inferred.

Lol. I'm just amused by the never ending stream of inside information we have on this site. Not saying I don't believe you alumvol, but I'm sure you've seen all the stuff that's been posted over the past month. There's no way that many people have inside information.

Selby could come out tomorrow and announce that he was going overseas and I'm sure there would be 2-3 on here saying, "OMG I CALLED IT!"

Don't know if it's true or false. Just interesting.

Hopefully Selby will pick Tennessee and wipe that smug smirk off the face of Kansas fans. They are pretty proud of themselves.

I actually read earlier today on one of their boards that they believe they are the best basketball program ever. So stupid.

Always happens. 90% of it is BS, I promise you. It ALWAYS is. I don't think anyone knows what Selby is going to do including Josh himself. If I had to predict, I'd say Kansas. But Forbes is not to be underestimated.

Again, Josh himself doesn't know at this point so any prediction is a guess.

Ha ha. Of course that's impossible. We are the best basketball program ever.

And they continue to use the "we invented basketball" line as proof.

If they weren't so busy shucking corn, they could read and realize that Naismith was actually born in Canada, invented the game while at college in Sprinfield Mass, then moved to Denver and instituted it at the YMCA there, THEN finally became coach at Kansas.

How can anyone know where he is going when Josh himself said he won't even know until tonight. It's all speculation at this point.

Are you people still wasting time talking about Selby? Let me make this perfectly clear for you:

Selby. Is. Going. To. Kentucky.

What, you think, "oh no, he won't go there, they just signed Brandon Knight."

And that means, what, exactly? Do you seriously think John Calipari won't sign Selby just because he has Knight? Second, don't you think Selby and Knight would dominate as dual point guards running the dribble-drive offense. Uh, that would be a "yes".

So, you know, keep dreaming if you want, if it's good for your psyche. But understand your place. When a Kentucky or a Notre Dame or a Kansas wants one of your recruiting targets, you are D.O.N.E. DONE.

Dude, I heard he flew over TBA, saw a reflection of the Baby Jesus glinting off the roof and decided that, because of how TBA looked from the air, he was going to Tennessee....

I would say that the coaches are beginning to get a pretty good idea, just from talking to him. Its possible that they are getting enough clues to know whether they are winning or losing the recruiting battle, even if Josh hasn't officially decided yet.

1. You're wrong,
2. Notre Dame? Really? This is why everyone thinks their fans are douchebags...
