Duke Insider Andrew Slater Just Changed Pick For Bolden To UK
- Thread starter dlh331
- Start date
or considering 3 years and he's only gained 10 lbs. Its obvious that basketball wasnt taken seriously enough.
I'll repeat what someone has said in a good 8 different posts. A player recruited for basketball can't give his scholarship up for another recruit. Only a walk on (Floral) can do that. I don't feel like going into the reason why because someone has said it too many times to count (8 being generous). So someone has to transfer if Lee and Briscoe comes back
What a joke. Don't even bother making a prediction if you're just going to flip-flop 24 hours later.
No offense to Lee, but he probably is what he is at this point. We'd really be getting the short end of the deal there, as we have a hole at the 5.
I'd absolutely love to add Bolden but I'm way past the point of letting myself get emotionally invested at this point.

No doubt.It also really hurts Bam because he would likely have to play the 5.I bet the SEC refs are licking their chops to get him in foul trouble and then we would have to count on Hump/Lee for points inside.I hate the thought of that.
Just a bunch of people who desperately want to have the pick right so they keep changing it every time they hear anything
They are doing exactly what their job title is. They don't change it just because of gossip, they change if they get info from a family member or someone in the inner circle. The lower scouts guess but the higher ones have a rep and connections. It doesn't mean that they are always right but they have a better chance of being right because the information that they get is from very reliable sources

"If we weren’t all crazy, we would go insane". To quote Buffett. Let it play out. He signs or he doesn't. We'll be fine with or without him. Oh I'd definitely love to have him wearing UK blue though.
Just an aside about Lee and Hump who are getting thumped a bit in this thread.
I re- watched the UK-Duke game this evening to get my hoops fix. Lee had NINE rebounds and six points AT THE HALF. And Hump blocked some shots, made a couple moves, and shut down Plumlee after he had abused Skal to open the game.
Seth Greenberg said at the half, "Marcus Lee took over the game for Kentucky." And that wasn't far off.
Now, no one would argue that Marcus followed that up with a starring season. But he's had some impressive performances on the big stage. I'm not ruling out a more consistently productive year if he comes back.

Regardless of what happens I stand by this: Duke sucks!!
Marcus also got destroyed by Plum that game. To be fare Amile killed whoever guarded him as well (Hump and Alex and Skal got worked)
you had the same hope for poythress ....... just not going to happen. Its between their ears at this stage. Lee just isnt a player who brings it every game.

Go back to your board. You guys are just puppets to those guys. They are playing you guys like a drum, getting you hopes up for nothing. The choice is UK and it has been for some time. Chris Fisher, Paul and Tj have been saying UK the whole time. They're not fickle or uninformed like the duke "insiders".
Regardless of what happens I stand by this: Duke sucks!!
"That's a fact Jack". [pfftt]
So Bolden decided to lean back to Duke because? I mean, Duke has had a scholarship available for how long, and the kid hasn't comitted. These Duke insiders don't know ****, and it's becoming pretty obvious.
Why hasn't Bolden committed to Duke yet? I mean you guys DO have an open scholly.
Cal already has this figured out. He isn't going to keep saying that we will hopefully be adding another if he didn't have it worked out already. It just hasn't been made public. Bolden wouldn't still have us as an option if Cal wasn't going to accept him. There is a spot for him and a scholarship for him next year if he wants it. I'm sure it has been figured out for a while now but we just haven't heard yet. The situation is under control with Cal.
Can't you smell it? He still thinks they beat us last year. [laughing]
Kinda like "gracie" got destroyed by everyone on UK's roster.....
It's from the Jordan Brand they all weren't together in the Summit were they? Bolden is in an All Star game, "BALL IS LIFE" game in Cali.
That was from the Jordan Brand Classic though and if you knew you didn't say anything about it, don't be a smart a__.
me either
Marcus does well when he has a strong, consistent big in the front court with him. Bam should be that guy, yes? Marcus had some good games this year, but it seemed (and I could be wrong) he disappeared a bit when Alex did. Think about the games where he DID play well.
And, I think, many are underestimating Humphries. Not that he'll be some spectacular five star like Bolden is, but he can be good if he puts in the work.
I apologize but I thought you were being a jerk by saying "I know where he is", you know sorta like my statement of the all star game he's in was old news to everyone.
This is a common belief, and may be correct, but nobody who espouses this belief actually knows if it is true. There is not a precedent to cite, no history of Cal cutting a player he recruited to UK anyway, to make room for another recruit. You guys can keep repeating it but it is still just as much a guess as those who are saying they don't think Cal is going to force someone out. And even if someone does end up leaving, it doesn't mean he was forced out. None of us knows the inner workings of this team, so unless it comes out publicly we are all guessing.
So now Lee "can't rebound"? He had 6 games in double figures this past season, including a double double in the Duke game. So, to the Duke fan who said Plumlee owned Lee in that game, Plumlee has 12 and 10 in 36 mins, and Lee had 10 and 10 in 22 mins. Fail.
