Yeah, he was blasted big time. I think he ended up being a teammate of Gabriel's, wasn't he?

Teammate or friend, I forget. But that thread was great. Wish a Mod could bring it back. The way the morning turned out and how the thread went was just hilarious.

Cal likely starts Briscoe if he returns, which means Willis probably has to start as well to offset Briscoe's shooting woes.

If Brisoce comes off the bench, then Gabriel starts and I wouldn't be surprised if Killeya-Jones starts instead of Willis to give us more athleticism in the starting lineup.

But I really think Briscoe starts if he comes back.

I don't.

just passing on what I heard the last 24 hours.

Really? Well I don't know much about St. Louis. But I heard in Albany freaking KENTUCKY that Bolden will commit to UK.


Seriously though bro. Ain't none of us got no idea. I have a gut feeling we will get him. But none of us on this board has a clue.

He's going to be a Dukie... Essentially a done deal.

And where did you come from? Source? Opinion? April Fools? Bullshite?

I hate calling posters trolls but sometimes it just seems so plausible. Like when a poster has 10 messages and post something like he's in the know or that he has a source.

You have like 10 messages since 2007, then pop up on here and say this. Could either be 1 of 2 things.

Either you're on here a lot and just don't post but you do actually know someone, by chance, that knows something about this specific recruitment. So, you felt inclined to post. Or you're here just to start some BS and the leave. So, which is it? Why the sudden post about Bolden?

FWIW, I know and trust Adam Rowe and for him to change his pick is a big deal. He doesn't change his predictions without a valid and trustworthy source.

I don't know why Fox would be a lock to start. The John Wall comparisons are laughably bad, almost as bad as the Dakari/Bolden comparisons. The college game will be a big adjustment for him.

If Briscoe returns he's our starting point and team leader.

If we miss on Bolden then Bam likely starts at C here, but he will NOT be a center in the NBA. He's as much of an NBA center as Kenneth Faried is. Faried is actually a good comparison. Their games are rebounding and dunking or getting points within 3-5 feet. Bam has a better handle though.

I'm praying we get Bolden. We badly need skill down low next year. Bolden provides that. Bam bulldozers but he's not putting moves on guys like Towns or Cousins did here.
I really liked Faried - and what little I've seen of Bam, that is a good comparison. Hope he has the same drive/motor that Faried did.

really, there are very few true centers in college basketball, and it's not just about height, but also about skill set. AD and Cousins are tall enough - but both are more of a hybrid PF/Center, and usually play the PF position.

You have no more information than the rest of us. Matt Jones said Bolden's family want him at Duke, but Bolden wants Kentucky. The question is, who will win out? I'd rather be in Dukes shoes regarding the family, but to say it's over based on that is just well, dumb.

If we miss on Bolden, I have a feeling Cal's got a back-up plan. Bolden may end up being the Malik Newman of this year's class.

Except Dukes not Miss. St.

If they sign him, it's just going to ramp up the hype about their class, although I don't see him making a huge contribution next year.

Make no mistake, they'll have a great class and will be the big favorite heading into next year. Let them deal with all of the 40-0 hype and pressure.

As we all well know, it all comes down to one game at the end that you either win or lose. I don't want our young team to have the pressure of being No. 1 at the beginning of the year.

Duke & UK recruits said he gave no hints...and there's a good reason: he did not know at that time

With Bolden, Duke will be loaded next season for sure:

G Thornton/Jackson
G Allen/Kennard
F Tatum/Jones
F Giles/Jefferson
F Bolden/Jeter

Got to start the 40-0 talk if that happens. Will K platoon? That team is as deep and talented as UK '15 for sure.

UK could be almost as deep and talented, but with none of the pressure of all the 40-0, greatest team ever, etc. talk:

G Briscoe/Hawkins
G Fox/Matthews
G Monk/Gabriel
F Willis/Killeya-Jones
F Adebayo/Lee

That's not even including Humphries and Wynyard who were 4-star guys.

And I have a feeling Cal is not finished recruiting if Bolden goes to Duke. We could add another big man.

They will have more potential superstar guys, but how will they fit together? K is the best in the business, but it's not like he never loses. He has had the most talent before and lost.

It should be a fun season, let's watch it play out before handing K another title.

I think that means all of us have an idea.

We're gonna get Bolden I believe. But if something crazy happened I think Cal would get Ayton to reclassify. And we all know Ayton>>>>>>>Bolden.
Ayton is going to have MAJOR eligiblety issues NEXT year . There is no way he could reclassify and be eligible this year . The Richard kid from the New Jersey is the big we should be getting excited about .

This doesn't sound too promising, considering Webster was our main connection.
