Said on the show today that on Monday he talked to someone who would have a good idea on Knox and at that time they thought he had made a decision with his family to go. He was set to announce on Tuesday or Wednesday, but wanted to wait a little bit because he might not have been ready to announce and wanted to think on it a little more.
MJ talking about Knox
- Thread starter CATS24
- Start date
Your name accurately fits this post
Will we EVER get a freakin' break?
And I mean with a stud deciding to come back to school, like happens at other schools from time to time.
Oh well, fingers remain crossed.

The person Matt spoke with was Drew Franklin. Drew reported the same thing after speaking with Matt Jones
Terrence Jones was our 1 big break to date
Harrison Twins and WCS before the 2014-2015 season as well.
And those two seasons ended up being our best under Cal.
Could be, I’m just spreading what was said because we can never have too much Knox info lol.
I'll be devastated at this point if Knox doesn't return. Devastated.
Damn me for getting my hopes up like this.

He tweeted out on Monday that knox was torn, this whole thing makes no sense
Well if they decided he was going to go and then changed their minds about the announcement maybe it’s because hes torn.
I'm guessing he pushed it back to see who else on other teams went. No reason not to, in order to get a clue what number you might get picked. Cal preaches "lifetime" scholarship and he's watched Vanderbilt get hurt. I'll be shocked if he returns and am kind of surprised Cal tried to talk him into coming back, but I guess that's because Cal has seen how much the G league sucks.
I mean, you can still lean towards one decision over the other while still being torn over it.
My only hope is that this is the same 'Reliable Insider' who told Jones that Kentucky was definitely getting Barrett and Williamson, among others.

SGA and Knox are both gone...they just dont know it yet. Why do we go through this every year....why?
I'm pretty sure Matt was one of the only people I recall still giving UK a chance with Murray the day of the announcement.
Knox may be torn over the decision but anyone who hasn’t assumed he would go pro is just fooling themselves. If he stuns us all and decides to stay, I will be the first to jump up and down with excitement. Don’t count on it.

Haha, it's crazy how quickly the mood on this board can do a complete 180.
Morning: Confident
Afternoon: No chance/We're doomed!

Knox & Shai are lottery projected players, so I don't blame them. And Diallo was just always sort of expected to go. It's losing more than those three where it'll start to bum me out.
Between the nine of Knox, Shai, Diallo, Green, Vanderbilt, Washington, Gabriel, SKJ and Richards, I want us to have at least 5 of them on our roster next season.
Pretty much this. Think along these lines and don’t get disappointed with the annual mass exodus. I don’t know jack but this is usually the safe assumption with Kentucky
I assumed he would go pro up until immediately after the loss to K State. I still feel that he comes back. Hope I'm right.
Uh, 2012 was "our" best under Cal...
It's hard to see that team as a title hopeful IMO unless more is added.
"Those two seasons" In response to Terrence Jones returning before the 2011-2012 season, and the other three returning before the 2014-2015 season.
Ryan Lemmond said he felt it was 80% Knox leaves to 20% that he stays.
That's all I needed to hear to know he's gone.

Among 22 players under Cal who have received 1st or 2nd team All SEC, Jones was the only one to return. He was 1st team All-SEC by both coaches and media and was SEC Freshman of the Year (over Brandon Knight). In the Cal era, we've only had 8 guys average more than 15ppg in a season. Only 1 came back...Jones.
Agree it takes special guys to come back to win it all.
Love these ******** percentages by people. Lol. He either stays or goes- there are no percentages.Ryan Lemmond said he felt it was 80% Knox leaves to 20% that he stays.
That's all I needed to hear to know he's gone.
Kevin would be the first leading scorer from Cal's UK teams to return.
This would be HUGE!!
Hope he does, but it would shock me.
If we're going to specify elite caliber players returning, then yes. Just mentioning the other year because we returned a whole lot, and three players in that case who a lot expected to leave. Most expected Willie to leave until the week leading up to his return, and The Harrisons felt like a 50/50 situation regardless of where they were projected in the draft.
