He's delusional! Even Bam realizes his weaknesses and isn't signing with an agent just in case. Briscoe is a tweener. He's 6'3" so he can't play small forward. He's definitely not a shooting guard. Not a good enough passer or ball handler to be an NBA point guard. He may go undrafted and end up in Europe or the D league.

Disappointed that he's leaving, but let's just thank him for always playing hard, and I sincerely wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.

The expectation coming to UK for all of these highly recruited guys is; put in my time, do a good job, work hard go pro after one year. I wish I could do that. But the problem is the perception that has been developed here, if you don't go after one year, you are a "failure". That is the perception. I for the life of me don't see why McD AA stay at schools like UNC, Duke, Kansas and other schools for multiple years, but nearly all of ours leave every year. The Job Cal does constructing teams is unreal. Sometimes the teams aren't constructed great, but he makes it work.

I keep seeing where some of the incoming players are not necessarily OADs. I have not kept up but was just reading some blurbs last night. Do you think Cal may actually be subtly shifting his strategy?

Cal hasn't changed much. The class is weak so there will be fewer kids leaving early, not unlike 2012's class.

There is no doubt that we have a culture of staying beyond one year is terrible, but I seriously doubt Cal had this in his strategy. I know for a fact he expected several of the kids who left and shouldnt to be back.

You have to wonder who is in the kid's ear on some of these.

Perception is reality.

This is the only type of situation where I question the one and done model. At any other school in the country he'd be a great 4 year player but here you're looked at as a failure if you don't leave after 1 season. That's great for guys like John Wall and Malik Monk, but for guys like Briscoe and Doron Lamb and Marquis Teague it really hurts us

I don't get why keep saying that . Kentucky isn't the only school to lose underclassmen who are projected to to go in the 2nd rd or Undrafted

You can make a lot of adjustments in two years. Patterson added more to his game in the one year Cal was here vs the previous two.

Maybe Briscoe develops a better shot, better vision, gets smarter, etc.

maybe briscoe stays another year and gets ridiculed by fans some more who wanted him benched? or he stays 4 years and fans complain how he failed to live up to the hype like poythress. maybe briscoe would rather just go pro and doesnt care about the things fans care about.

It hurts next year's team, but I don't really blame him. Smarter move for him might have been to transfer somewhere that he could run the point

There has to be something going on for those 5 stars players staying in college & not going to the NBA.

Yes, seriously, are you saying Cal pushed him out? If so, why would Cal push him out?

I'm saying there may be many reasons for Briscoe to decide its time to go - including who is coming in next year

You can call it pushing out the door, I call it being told to evaluate your options

I mean looking at it from Briscoe point of View . First two years he didn't get to play his natural position which is PG. Good chance that would never happen in the next two years .

First off, I don't give a **** about the NBA. The one thing I do know that heart and hard work can take you far. IB may not get drafted, but I predict that he will play in the NBA in the future. I think he will surprise many of you. He will get better in the pros, mark it down.
