No, it's too much for you to accept that you don't have a clue about what goes on inside of a teenagers mind in regards to making personal decisions.
Is Diallo Gone?

Sad terrible take! Ur perspective is fine but it isn't the one that is relevant. When u can go beyond the short-sightedness of this opinion, it becomes obvious the kid should do what is best for him---not ur opinion of what's best for u or ur satisfaction. If he was ur kid, I guarantee ur opinion is different!
What a touchy feely thread by certain posters.Let's all hug Diallo and send him on his way.It's selfish of us to expect him to ever play a game for UK.We shouldn't want him back to increase our title hopes.

After reading this I'm not so sure Diallo is gone. It's much more 50/50 than you guys think. They want to see him play so unless a team with multiple 1st round draft picks is willing to take a chance & invest I think there's a much better chance than you think he returns.
I didn't think this a few days ago.

Don't be a short-sighted monkey dick! Players want to come when they know they can trust the coach to do what's best for them.
Yes because actually wanting a player to play before leaving makes me the devil.[eyeroll]
It's fine that you want that, it's not fine that you don't want the player to do what's best for his future whether that's stay or go.
You guys don't seem to get that recruiting success is occurring because we have a coach that puts his players first but has his team as a possible national title contender every year. Hes havong more success than yoyr "doing it right" coaches are. His teams have played for the national title twice in 8 seasons, been in the semi-final twice, ELITE 8 twice. Only 1 bad season!
Get over yourself! I want to see him play here also but I believe in what Cal is doing & it's setting us up well for the future to continue the same. And we will win another championship, by sheer default when you're flirting with it every year.
One thing I want to say is just because someone doesn't like this particular situation doesn't mean they hate Cal or don't support him.I love Cal and this is the only time I have disagreed with him.He is a top notch recruiter and I really don't see the need for him to take a none and done guy. JMO
Well now you can tell me what's so funny, this is hard hitting stuff in this threadsame here, same reason
you are incorrect about Kanter; we all consider him a Wildcat because it was not HIS choice to not play
Kemp was another matter; I don't consider him a Wildcat
And I will not consider Diallo a Wildcat unless he returns and plays next season. I support his decision, not going to get my panties in a wad over it, and will wish him well. I even appreciate his practice helping improve the play of Fox and Monk. But I will never think of HD as one of ours if he stays in the draft.
Does anyone feel that guys like Parrish and others are just gushing over Diallo on social media in some sick hope that he leaves so UK won't be as good? Am I crazy?
Haha. Okay, buddy. Is that what we do now? We pretend they're our kids? Do you pretend NBA players and NFL players are your kids? How about actors? Politicians?
I don't give a crap about this guy's financial issues nor is he a Wildcat as he never played for us and used us. I also don't care about him getting rich. I'm not Cal nor his parents. He's no different than any player who didn't play here. You acting like you're righteous because you parrot Cal's talking points is pretty funny.
Good to know that like two months of wearing a UK sweatsuit and choosing not to help the team somehow makes you forever a Wildcat.
No matter what Diallo decides he is a wildcat in my mind. Cal is sure treating him like a wildcat. He is doing everything he can to get information from the NBA to help him make an informative decision. That is good enough for me.
I was getting worried I hadn't seen it mentioned in any post in the last 3 mins
Atleast you have all your bases covered. I would go a little further and say there is a 100% chance he plays basketball next year as well
Everyone has a right to their feelings but to me a guy who chose to never play for UK(if that happens)is not a Wildcat.
He could choose To sit out a year for an NBA team.
Yeah I read that somewhere in the last 5 mins he has an amazing vertical maybe he got that from playing football in highschool
He's not a player. He never played a second for us. How is this difficult for you to grasp? You want to contribute something and then go pro? Cool. Best of luck.
You want to come here for less than three months, wear a sweatsuit, choose not to play and lie that you wanna focus on school and next season and then go pro? Get lost.
He could, but he would stilll practice or at the very least play in a teams d league. I guess if he wanted to just not play basketball next year he could compete in vertical jumps during basketball season
I don't think Cal knew. Imo, Cal assumed he would be here next year. Just a very unusual situation that has taken place. Cal can't help if Diallo changed his mind- if in fact he goes pro. But if the young is getting a spot in the first round, he should go for it.
Good god can we stop with the if gen never suited up for uk he's never gonna be considered a wildcat crap for atleast 1 day please? What we got here is a failure to communicate. He was on that uk bench this yr yes he didn't play but rest assured if Jen stays in the draft and goes on to be an all star caliber player nobody here will deny him wildcat status. When lantern is playing well in the NBA nobody says he ain't no uk player. Yes, I know the situations are entirely different but we are talking about a guy who was ranked the number 1 sg oozing with talent. If gen does stay in the draft he will stilll be an ambassador for all things uk and if it helps Ian with recruiting in the future I don't think too many will complain
He would have to get pretty high(pun intended just for you) and reach ej floreal track and field status
You have no idea about his family situation- they may really need the financial help. If he gets feedback he is a first round pick, you can't blame the kid. He probably had no idea his stock would blow up like it has.
Good lord we have a wall of UK stars like Kat and Davis with top classes every year,lol.I don't think we need his help.
I respect what Cal is doing; and am quite okay with it.
I just can't see HD as a Wildcat
respect your opinion, and appreciate the response
and to be clear; I have nothing at all against the kid. I hope he does well. And, should he choose to return to UK and play next year, I'd be glad to welcome him with open arms.
