To KY? I've heard nothing official he visited KY, I kind of doubt it. Rush is such an enigma and not worth the trouble, IMO. There are only rumors about him, nothing concrete. Rumor also has him visiting Kansas. Bottom line with most schools starting this week or next, he'll need to get enrolled somewhere (if he has the grades) in short order.

I have heard rumors that Rush is visiting unofficially to UK I think this weekend but he is only getting tours by the assistant coaches and get to meet players. Tubby is gone for the weekend and won't be able to talk too.

This is going to be the worst inside scoop ever reported on a website, but I've never posted anything like it, so heregoes:

I saw a guy at Fayette Mall last night who looked a lot like the pictures I've seen of Rush. True.

But take that with a grain of salt, because my eyesight is horrible from distance more than ten feet and I've only seen one picture of Rush. :?

The rumor was started by a poster on the Scout board called toffercat, I believe. If you read through his posts, it seems as if he doesn't get much respect over there.

I haven't heard anything. Rush isn't coming to ky. I might not even want him. He has his eyes set for NBA. That i don't like.

Heres some pictures of Rush, maybe it will help.

I'm almost postive that was him. (Emphasis on the "almost.")

And I'm being completely serious.

If it turns out Rush was never on campus, then I'll post an apology (veiled in an excuse about my crappy eyesight).

Big, thick kid. He was coming in Dillard's with a man who was probably his father.

Hmmm.

His 3 remaining schools are IU, KU and ILL. No order was given. i have posted the link to this info on previous posts. He did visit KU and enjoyed his time, but recent articles from the KC Star have indicated he "may" have an IU lean. Which means, UK would see him, just not in the respect you all want...

Rush isn't thick. He's not lean but not thiick, he's a pure small forward. I don't think he visited.

I don't know why some are saying they don't want him at UK. I'd take him. I hear he's a really good ball player. And if he has an "attitude", I believe Tubby can get rid of that because Tubby does not take attitudes to well. IMO, if I had a chance togive himUK uniform, I'd glady had one over to him. That just my opinion though. Who knows...

I have seen on Espn that Rush is really interested in IU just because Rush has been quoted saying he is a one and done player and IU is the right fit along with Marco Killingsworth that transfered to IU from Auburn and he only has one year of elibility so they say Rush would have more freedom under Mike Davis...

"He reiterated that he has not committed to any school, though sources close to Rush’s family have indicated they expect him to choose Kansas once he is officially cleared."

damn....i hate KU. if they actually land him, and his decision is today, then they will have Julian Wright, Mario Chalmers and Brandon Rush. those are 3 top recruits. still not worried about playing them though...this year

With Rush, I can see KU being a lot like we were last year: rough around the edges, green and young...but dangerous as anybody in March.
