The timing of Zion Williamson’s announcement is a big source of speculation, and after a little digging, I’ve discovered that it will go head-to-head with Kentucky’s game vs. Florida on ESPN’s networks.

An ESPN representative tells me Zion’s announcement will be televised at 8:15 p.m. on SportsCenter on ESPN2. Previously, it was scheduled for 8 p.m., leaving open the possibility that it would be shown on the 15-minute College GameDay lead in to Kentucky vs. Florida on ESPN, but that will not be the case. The announcement will take place at Zion’s high school, Spartanburg Day School, and will be followed by a breakdown of the decision by ESPN recruiting insider Jeff Borzello and SportsCenter anchors Zubin Mehenti and Kevin Connors.

What does this mean? The fact that the announcement is taking place at the SAME time as tip off of Kentucky/Florida on a different network rather than 15 minutes before tip on the same network feels like bad news to me; however, perhaps ESPN didn’t want to sandwich the announcement into such a small time frame, especially when they can eat up time on SportsCenter with analysis, etc.

He may still be rying to make up his mind this minute. He may not make up his mind until they ask him the question "Who have you decided to play your college ball for?"

One thing's for certain, this young man will be a star wherever he decides to go to school!

I hope not since he is going to Duke. Duke is really beating us on the recruiting trail the last 3 years.

Can Diallo please take a seat on the bench? We have other players that are much more capable than hom

What we've ended up with are a bunch of high school ball players, trying to play street ball most of the time.
