Does Jordan Bone return?

I hope he doesn’t return, dude is a helluva player.

 

[RoyKent]

He returns to UT

 

[LolAtThis]

UK losing McDaniels/Blackshear while Grant and Bone return would be a nightmare.

 

[stuway]

He killed us last year....go dude go plz

If the SEC allows Grant Williams to steal the POY again it's a joke. That guy isn't that level of talent or player. His time has produced an improved program and???? The flopping and falling down isn't basketball.

 

[SmoothRunner32]

He gone. Goodman getting Vol fans hopes up. Player like that with that kind of vertical leap.

 

[somethingalways1]

Most mocks have Williams in the first round. He goneth.

 

[jrpross_rivals]

He’s be a Bone-head if he returned [banana]

 

[BigKari]

He did just measure as a sub 6’6 Center. He may slip down the boards.

 

[jr40831]

I wonder if his parents considered naming him, ''Shin''.

 

[bbn93]

Didn't Williams already say his farewell to the fans and pretty much rule out coming back?

 

[Wildcats4ever2007]

If UT gets either Bone or Williams back and we lose EJ, I will lose my mind.

 

[etowncatfan]

I think Bone is Tennessee's BEST Pro Prospect!

How can UK “lose” two players they never had or that never played for UK?

Really. Why?

 

[Bowfreak.]

He's not returning.

 

[chroix]

He looked like he could score at will in every game I saw him in. Kids a baller. Hope he goes.

For you maybe. I don't get nightmares over the vols basketball roster. Also you can't lose someone you never had.

 

[knoxtncat]

Could be totally wrong but I don’t think he had any intention of returning when he declared. I think he’s just ready to move on regardless of where he plays professionally. Also think Grant Williams stays in as well.

 

[Wall2Boogie]

Problem is, they have some high recruits like that 5 star James coming in amongst others. Bone is a damn good player. I do think he will return, because nobody is going to flgive him guaranteed second round cash. That said, he will also probably take a hit in playing time, since he’s got other guys coming in that Barnes got, that are four and five stars that want their playtime. Hopefully we will witness the crash and burn from him

 

[HagginHall1999]

They are both gone...

All recruits where time and effort is devoted that do not end up at the school is a "loss" by any standard. Cmon

By a good margin.

Also if Williams is a first round choice, I'll be shocked.

 

[1991greywildcat]

So who do you think we get here?
I say:
Cunningham
Boston
Maker
Cooper
Todd
Nix
(And then a wildcard player. Maybe Clarke or Green)

This. No way Josiah James reclassified and signs with Tennessee, with a chance that Bone might come back..

 

[katwest]

I don't think there is any way Bone comes back, it was easy to see that he was the best point guard in the SEC and one of the top 3 in the country. When it comes to distributing the ball and scoring he can do it better than most.

That was going to be MY post.

 

[GonzoCat90]

This year was their year. You don't return to keep your draft stock relatively the same on a team that will take a significant step back, especially when your teammates left.

 

[uky8unc5]

Then we "lose" 20+ a year.
Recruiting 101 = Nobody is "gained" until you sign them.

No doubt. Plus it's clear the Vols are in rebuilding mode.

No, that’s not how it works at all.

Cmon; you’re not that daft are ya?

[Randy Bob]

I would think Bone is gone he is a very good guard.

 

[Rupp'sRunt]

 

[Graced 1]

That's a brilliant theory. So Kentucky is losing about 40 players a year off a 13-man roster. No wonder it is hard to re-load. The best approach by far would be to not put any time and effort into recruiting to minimize losses. Our bad luck Cal is a workaholic.

Not gonna argue semantics dude,have a great day

Great post:flush:

 

[bbnkat02]

Wow. And he’s not even in most mock drafts. Lol.

Kid can ball.

 

[Gothic1960]

KSR posted that Grant is staying in draft.. FWIW

 

[FrankUnderwood]

Great post:flush:

Thanks man!

 

[RalphDaltonFan]

Bone is the UT player I like the most. Respect his toughness and game. Really had a great feel for getting to where he needed to go in control and has NBA offensive game with pull ups, speed to finish at rim and great athlete. Outstanding player and toughest competitor they had. Should be a plus defender too.
