Matt Haarms Purdue Grad Transfer Down to 3 schools.

[GOREDDEVILS]

Haarms Just turned 23 Today.

[GOREDDEVILS]

It's breaking now that BYU could be the Choice. I guess we will know tomorrow.

[Voice of Reason]

Is he a Mormon?

 

He could stand to spend some time in a real strength training program 7'3 and 250 is just way to lean. He's not super young either, about to be 23.

 

Age 23. He's probably Mormon. Advantage BYU?

So why was the news yesterday that Kentucky had a big signing announcement today?

I don't think it's official that Haarms is picking BYU yet. I could be mistaken though.

Unless it’s a big smoke screen sounds like UK was unable to close Haarms.

If it is true that what Haarms wanted was to play on the perimeter, then Kentucky never had a chance. That’s not what they need, and that’s not where they’d have played him. I still hope somehow it’s Kentucky he chooses, but that’s not where he fits.

Let him go to BYU, signing him would be like buying a shoe for your left foot when you really need one for the right foot. Why would a kid 23 years old need a fifth year to get to the NBA anyway?

[GOREDDEVILS]

BYU it is for Haarms per his instgram.

[John Anthony]

All the UK fans saying he wasn’t good enough lol.

[John Anthony]

“I looked at my opportunity and I felt like BYU had a great opportunity to be a great player and then my fit with the coaching staff and I just actually love coach Pope and his staff,” he said. “He did a great job of recruiting me and showing me how I can fit into their system. They are very analytics based and aren’t afraid to sit down and talk basketball with me for hours.”

[John Anthony]

“I’m an older guy, 23. It’s not even one year. It’s eight months. At this point in my career, I’m not worried about facilities and locker rooms and how many Nike shoes I’m getting. That stopped being important for me.”

[GolfNut]

I feel like he wants to play perimeter and probably left Purdue because of that and he surely would not play that at U.K. I also feel like he is soft and couldn’t handle the glitz at Kentucky.

A good get for Pope, the Kentucky pitch isn't for everyone.

[Voice of Reason]

If Harms asked Cal about playing on the perimeter, does everyone think Cal gave him the honest assessment, and it probably wasn't something Harms wanted to hear?

 

I say yes, Cal was straight with him. I'm sure he found a way to put a positive spin on the story but I don't doubt that Cal gave him an honest assessment.
