Well, I'll say one thing.......

[Kyfan37]

If everyone comes back, we CAN be very good. All the pundits are saying we don't have one lottery pick, but over time some of them could be. THAT right there should tell them they are going to need more time to get where they need to be.

 

[Shaudylo]

Don’t get your hopes up on everyone coming back

 

[coolioo1]

They will all came to UK. They think it is a right to go lro

 

[It'saDoneDeal]

Yeah, these guys can make the leap just like Gabriel did...

We’ll see.

If we lose more than 3, it would add more ammunition to the notion that Kentucky is an NBA prep school. Hopefully that reputation changes with this current group, at least from the outside perception of kids leaving UK at the first glance of NBA draftability.

Interesting that the other elite programs can identify top 50 kids who don’t mind playing in college more than two years. Hopefully UK joins those schools this year with a renaissance in player retention. We desperately need it.

I’d hate to watch this offense another year.

 

[Kyfan37]

You know, right now i would take Gabriel playing all 40 minutes IF he can stay out of foul trouble. Atleast he gives heart when out there.

 

[KYJamm_rivals308443]

Knox is the ONLY Kentucky player that is currently NBA caliber.

 

[4UK]

It won't matter. There will still be no ELITE player next year. Cal can't win without elite players.

 

[Calsthebomb]

Knox is the ONLY Kentucky player that is currently NBA caliber.

What?!?! Lol he's nowhere near an NBA player.

 

[mhroe1984]

All these guys aren't coming back. BBN better brace themselves, because 4-5 guys will bolt after this year. It's just the way it is here now and Calipari isn't going to apologize for it.

Just pray we get Wiseman. If not we could lose alot more next year.

don't know about that he did not look NBA tonight

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Knox is an NBA player if they allow him a ghost defender.

 

[KY Long Rifle_rivals381398]

If we got everyone back, except a couple of guys, I would be fine with a rough year.

 

[Kyfan37]

Knox is an NBA player if they allow him a ghost defender.

Lol, i believe you are right. He definitely needs to get better defensively. He's been slow all season.

 

[Cats_2010]

Knox is the ONLY Kentucky player that is currently NBA caliber.

Based on what? A good game at WV?

 

[westerncat]

Right now i don't want Diallo back !

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Don't think Diallo nor Knox want to come back, and I can't say I'm too upset. Knox leaving will hurt a bit. But as another poster said, he disappears like Poythress. Where he won us the WVU game, he helped us lose tonight.

 

[Wildcats1st]

THERR ar some players I hope leave bc they do not want to do what it takes

 

[sluggercatfan]

Don’t get your hopes up on everyone coming back

Nope it's become a KENTUCKY pride thing.

 

[Chris Mallory]

Knox is the ONLY Kentucky player that is currently NBA caliber.

Kevin Knox?

 

[TheBigBlueSpectacle]

We will lose 4 to 5 and Cal will tweet how great it is

It’s just what we are. It’s fine when we are successful or even remotely meet an expectation like elite 8 years but to stumble like selfish women toward the NIT to see it happen will be frustrating if that’s what goes down

Like others said, should we get some of them back, not sure how I will feel about it. Not exactly a good group

 

[scottfromhistractor]

I saw mock draft lately that had 4 players going in the first round. If they are projected to go in the first, Cal will push them out. Next year will be just as young of a team as this year.

Mock had Knox, Diallo, SGA, and Vanderbilt all going in the first round

 

[sefus12]

Knox is the ONLY Kentucky player that is currently NBA caliber.

What exactly about his game is NBA ready? Is it the utter lack of urgency? The inconsistent jumper (at best)? Or the defense that makes a lamp post look active?

Because his daddy played football at FSU so he must be athletic

Gabriel had a single rebound in 19 minutes coupled with horrid post D while showing off the dribbling skills of Jack Black on acid. Yeah, he's sweet.

 

[ManitouDan_anon]

Knox keeps playing like this he might play himself into a soph season . He is showing more weaknesses than potential

 

[Catlogic15]

He set two illegal screens tonight and consistently lets his man blow past him. This is the "upperclassmen" so many clamor for. SKJ is worse on defense. Zero on offense.

 

[jaknfo90]

Don't want everyone back, period! Sometimes there is addition by subtraction and a few need to go, not many, but a few.

 

[madcat62]

Nope it's become a KENTUCKY pride thing.

more like cal pride thing

 

[eppsfan]

Do the numbers work out if they all come back?
