@jp10152333 Okay lol

There’s a discord screenshot going around claiming “St John’s is no longer targeting” Auburn Transfer SF Keyshawn Hall and it is not true, I’m being told.

Also despite rumors the last few days that St John’s had it “done” and Kentucky had “moved on”, I’m told his recruitment has remained fluid, but a decision “might not be imminent”, so St. John’s (like Kentucky) have continued to recruit and evaluate other options.

Decision still expected to be between Kentucky, and St. John’s.

Kentucky Commit Ryan Hampton teasing a “huge announcement” Sunday Morning.

Ryan has made it clear multiple times that he would not reclassify and would stay in 2027. Would be shocked if that’s changed.

Had been rumors he wouldn’t be returning to DME Academy for his senior year, maybe Back home to Texas? Dynamic Prep?

Oklahoma’s Tae Davis plans to enter the Transfer Portal as he seeks his 5th year of eligibility, his agency tells @JoeTipton

I honestly think the staff has certain guys higher as a priority, but Kentucky was a school mentioned that would have interest in Tae, if he was cleared.

I was told on Sunday Tae was considering this decision, but he is not yet a plaintiff in any state eligibility case, so for now he’s banking on the Colorado injunction that cleared all 2022 recruits for an additional year of eligibility, which remains flimsy in everyone’s eyes, and is why we continue to see specific players named in suits across different states against the NCAA.
