Devin Askew committing soon?

[abhavsar]

Askew just posted this to Instagram. Looks like it’s a Louisville/Kentucky battle. Hope he wants to claim a spot before Cunningham gets it. Doubt Cade comes to UK.

Askew I like better at UK than Cade anyway. He's an outrageously good 3-point shooter.

I thought Cunningham already committed to Ok st.? They have it listed that way on the UK Basketball and recruiting site.

Unless it happened this morning he's not committed and left his OSU official visit uncommitted.

OSU looks likely but whole lotta UNC buzz lately. UK probably 3rd in the race but not giving up. I say we take Askew and call it a day.

[JAC71]

Has Askew even visited UK?

 

[ubtrapper_rivals103836]

It's been listed that way for a while. It has his ranking and instead of saying uncommitted, it has OK St. That's strange. I hope he ends up a Cat!

Word from a good Rivals source this morning is that Cunningham's supposed interest in other schools is more than likely Nothing But Smoke and he ends up at Oklahoma State.

 

[bigblue1971]

He looks to be a really good shooter and ball handler, has a tough, bulldog mentality. Like his game.

Remember when Cal was in LA to watch Askew, he didn't make the easy trip to stop by to see Christopher.[winking]

That meeting with UofL yesterday immediately followed by an announcement "soon" has me worried. Does that not concern anyone else?

Pretty sure it concerns everyone.

I did. And UL has been on this kid for some time.

 

[jrpross_rivals]

Cade is the better all-around player, but Askew is good enough, you take him and not look back. He may be better for chemistry too.

 

[Born and Raised Big Blue]

Evan Daniels is leaning UK for Askew.

It would concern much much more if he hadn't just met with UK as well . I think he had in his 2 favorites and has decided or at least decided when he is going to decide. LOL

Well, he visited them Sept 1st. Then Cal visits on the 12th only a few days ago. Then with UofL yesterday? Seems good for UofL.. Was he witing to see Cal/UK's last pitch? Was it enough to make him tell UofL that he's not coming?

I would think if it was good for Kentucky we would have gotten some Crystal Ball picks the last few days.

 

[Bill Withers]

Evan Daniels is leaning UK for Askew.

I've seen that, as well. But with Daniels, you've always got to wait and see if he does a last-minute switch on his pick.

 

[Bill Withers]

Cade is the better all-around player, but Askew is good enough, you take him and not look back. He may be better for chemistry too.

Agreed. And I still think Ok State is his pick.

The latest two futurecasts on Rivals are for UK.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

In Evans mailbag, he's only leaning towards Kentucky when Askew still had several more visits and several more months to decide.

I would imagine Evans would pick UofL at this point. Askew basically cancelled his visit to us, scheduled to be October or November.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Evans was on the 5th and McDonald on the 13th.. Based on timeline of things (The UofL meeting and bumping up his commitment date), those seem to be outdated already.

 

[JC CATS]

Why would he want to go to U6

 

[BaronReborn84_rivals62172]

Anyone have anything? Dave? Rupps?

 

[kyjeff1]

I fuxxking hope he comes. Pure pg who’s deadly from distance. Him with all that athleticism around him. That’s a dangerous offense. Please pick uk

Having a pg that can hit a high percentage from deep is a huge advantage.

There was a lot of things that fell into.place for our 2011 team to get to the FF, to me, the most important thing was our backcourt's shooting ability. Lamb was phenomenal, but Knight's shooting ability, + his ability to manage the offense, made us really tough to defend.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Agreed. And I still think Ok State is his pick.

CC to OK-State would be as lame as it gets.

I don't get how some of these elites just don't give a crap about winning at a high level, even if it's only for a year on the college level.

 

[ScrooDook92]

Why would he want to go to U6

Because kids want to be the hero, go against what everyone's telling them to do, be different. And, if they hear things they don't want to hear when they're being recruited, well that factors in too.

Andrew Slater just put in a crystal ball pick for UL.

Slater just logged UL pick

Well ****

 

[bigblue1971]

If Askew goes to Louisville and Cunningham to Ok.St does Cal go back after Christopher?

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

I'm not sure I'd jump the gun on this one either way.

Maybe he was sold on Kentucky a few days ago, but wanted to give Louisville a courtesy attempt to change his mind.

It's as plausible as Louisville finishing off a successful sale's job. We saw Muhammed years ago give UK one last shot to change his mind and he still picked UCLA. UK also had a finish-line talk with Jaylen Brown right before he picked California.

Getting the last word is no sure sign of landing a kid.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

It does help that Kentucky called him immediately back in June, at the first opportunity to contact 2021 kids. Kentucky isn't a last min player for him, instead they've made him a priority. That's a good sign.

Really curious as to what Evans thinks, currently, and not from a week ago.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

If Askew goes to Louisville and Cunningham to Ok.St does Cal go back after Christopher?

Maybe he just rolls with that five star junior-to-be Quickley that we all keep overlooking for some reason?

 

[tmuck]

Powder's been on him for over a year. Cal came in fairly late. UL will win out because of it. Cal probably didn't think he would reclass, so he didn't turn up the heat until it was too late.

 

[tmuck]

What are you hearing @davekersey ?

Yeah this is very possible. If he goes to UL oh well as we already have 2 commits who can play PG and will have quickley AND Cal will find another one as well I promise you that even if it is a grad transfer . With all that said I bet we might land Askew. Now if some one I actually respect like Sisk says he is going to UL I will change my mind but I am not going to worry about what a Dukie says ( Slater) .

 

[skcatfan]

Any kid dumb enough to pick Chris Mack over Cal I want no part of.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Option A. Askew picks UK
Option B. CC picks UK
Option C. Quickley returns and runs the point
Option D. UK goes all in on Christopher
Option E. UK uses a conglomerate of guys like Clarke next year to facilitate the offense
Option F. a combination of options C through E


All options are still on the table and all options look splendid.
