Who said that Bolden was committing today? I believe he is waiting on the NBA Combine to see if Lee or Briscoe makes a decision for the NBA so that there will be a open scholarship available at UK.

Most have stopped following at this point. I don't know that i've ever seen a recruitment like this before where the fanbases of both of the finalists get tired of the act and sort of disconnect.

Speak for yourself. Lot's of UK fans are still waiting patiently for him to figure it out. He's waiting to see if UK has a spot for him probably.

I don't think it necessarily means people have stopped following it as so much as to just waiting for more information. As I think bolden is

Agree. This is pretty simple. If Bolden wanted to go to Duke, he would already have announced since Duke has an open scholarship.

I know a lot of the posters and fans on here think that the scholarship issue being 1 short is not an issue and that Coach Cal would take him today if he commits. Kentucky as of today doesn't have that 1 scholarship for Bolden to commit today. We are at 13 scholarships and that is the issue as we discuss the Bolden recruitment. I believe since Duke has a Scholarship available for 4 weeks now since Thornton decided to transfer is why I believe that Bolden wants to play for Kentucky. Bolden is waiting for the 1 scholarship to open at Kentucky if Lee or Briscoe decide to go to the NBA and hire an agent. If Bolden was that huge lean for Duke he could have committed to Duke 4 weeks ago when Thornton decided to transfer and Duke had a scholarship available for Bolden. The NBA Combine starts Wednesday May 11th thru May 15th and then the Players have 10 days till May 25th to make their decision for the NBA. I believe Bolden is waiting on 1 or 2 players to make their final NBA Decision and then Bolden will make his decision.

The only person who said it would be today was a troll who posted it here and then disappeared.It's fine with me that this is dragging out.I think it means good news for UK.

Where have you been? Do we really need to go over this again & again? Floreal can walk on but he's the only one & we're still short a schollie. It will have to come from Lee or Briscoe. I'm sure it's Lee. Don't think he'll return.

Bolden is waiting for something official & will NOT commit until then.

Duke on the otherhand, has a spot & he could commit ASAP if he wanted. I think his heart is & has been set on UK.

Just chill guys. The longer this drags out the better sign it is for UK.

Once he does commit, we need to come up with an appropriate nickname for the dude. I'm thinking Boom to go with Bam. And we can nickname Gabriel "Badda".

I think that it is pretty easy on which school he wants to attend and that is Kentucky. Duke and UK both had an issue with both being at 13 scholarships. Then Thornton Four weeks ago made his announcement that he was transferring from Duke and that gave Duke the 1 scholarship they needed for Bolden. That is when all the recruiting experts were saying that Bolden was headed to Duke and Jerry Meyer's Crystal Ball prediction was Duke at 70% and Kentucky at 30%. Everyone four weeks ago was saying Bolden to Duke. It has now been Four weeks since Thornton transferred from Duke and if Bolden was such a heavy lean to Duke then why in Four Weeks has he not committed to Duke. That is why I believe since the NBA Combine starts May 11th Wednesday thru Sunday May 15th and then the NBA Combine Players have 10 days to make final decision to the NBA or back to school. That is why Bolden is waiting to see if Lee or Briscoe will make their final decision and head to the NBA and hire an agent. Once Bolden sees what Lee and Briscoe do after the NBA Combine then the decision comes if Lee does in fact head for the NBA. Then Bolden commits to Kentucky once we have that open scholarship needed for Bolden to make his final decision.

So............................................................................................ on Bolden nobody knowswhat's going on, and If they claim to know they are lying. That pretty much sums up the whole Bolden situation, now you are all caught up.

Here in Arizona we're being patient, optimistic, and ready to party in this dry barnyard . . .
Bolden when/if it happens . . . but it's also Derby Eve.

I can see him showing up in October at midnight madness. Ride in on a Harley with some shades with voodoo child playing. Be the best way to do it.

This is straight from the horses mouth.....


About a month ago, Bolden straight up asked both coaches where was his spot, and what would the roster be....

.. coach K seemed shady eith his answer basically saying tbey will "make" room..and coach Cal was honest and told him that he expects one more player to turn pro but if not then no spot was open. Bolden appreciated the honesty and has decided to wait for a spot at the real blue....

if no spot opens, don't be surprised to see TCU getting strong consideration ..not saying he will go there but he didnt like the whole transfer from duke situation..


Don't ask for link or source...but what I said first sentence
