But, that word that you capitalized is the fly in the ointment. A 19 year old millionare can have its pitfalls and his parents are smart enough to realize that. A second year of maturation, as well as game improvement, may be the best for him. I guess we will find out, shortly.

I believe this is UK's year for a summer bball trip as well, so another reason to get recruits signed for 2018-19 and start prepping for getting on campus in only 2 months.
Shoot Fire, amen to that! Either way love the kid and will follow his career. Like most UK players in NBA, I buy their jersey to '''give back' for the joy they caused me.
Go Big Blue!!! Knox returning>Zion signing
This x1000 but you’ll never get the brainwashed portion of this fanbase to understand this.
Do you really? Have any pics of your collection? Would be cool to see all those jerseys in one collection. I don’t get into the memorabilia stuff but that just sounds cool
Knox wants the big stage. May be a few years before he gets it in the nba but he has it now at U.K. I could see all those guys announcing they will be back together. Knox Vanderbilt PJ
"Daddy? Daddy....well son, since you can't learn to respect your elders, it's time you learned to respect your betters..." -J. McCandles....
Just read in an article on fb I think Matt jones site, Knox will make his decision known today or tomorrow. Also said shai is announcing tomorrow his intent and it may be on sports center

I have tried to explain to my grand children not to be too big of a hurry to grow up.....being an adult covers 3/4 of your life. Enjoy the first quarter because the last 3/4's isn't always a party....no matter who you are.
UNC was paying the Hansbrough's enough money that he could wait another year......
Weren't they paying some random newspaper company and writer in Missouri who wrote about how excited Hansbrough was on his official visit when he saw his name/jersey retired in the rafters next to Jordan and Worthy's?
The article only lasted a few hours and was zapped because doing such a thing would be an NCAA recruiting violation. We all know that UNC would NEVER cheat. [eyeroll][winking]
I don't think Knox's decision really comes down to basketball.
Lost in the discussion about his family not needing the money is the reality that sometimes kids who don't need the money grow up a lot differently than kids who do.
Not all 18 year olds are the same. Some guys are grown at 16. Some guys are kids at 22.
It doesn't sound like this has ever been a decision about draft stock. And I think that bodes well for us. Because the subtext there is "I'm not sure I'm ready to grow up yet" and when there are two good parents that are financially stable, the kid doesn't have to jump.
Or maybe former athlete dad tells him it's always scary and you just have to trust your game and learn by fire and he goes now. But I don't think it's about the draft stock.

I laughed at this until tears flowed.. its funny and at the same time seems to really express the mentality around here sometimes.. Well played..
I don’t think Knox will come back, he’s young for a freshman but will have a grown mans bank account soon. He’s the only kid on this team I see being a good NBA player!
His dad's an orthopedic surgeon. Doubt money is an issue for them.
It's not just age but maturity. Disagree on NBA JV rebounded on an elite level, his per 40 averaged were freakish. 16 points 21 reb 8 offensive rebounds 2blocks and 3 asst a game. His positive productivity translates very well in the NBA this doesnt even account for having the best motor and being probably out best defender.
That guy is now officially "gone".
Don't know about Noah going #1 i know he was a 1st round lock. But Jay Williams was THEE Consensus expected #1 pick in 2001 and he came back to Duke in 2002 to ultimately go #2.
I’ve wondered that myself. Cal may have already started doing what so many have said he should start doing.
Wasn't his Mom humping one of the UNC VP's?
reportedly used the school's plane to go on private weekend getaways, if memory serves
He is officially gone. Staff and players have been informed. No clue when he'll go public, but it has happened.
You may be right. If you're wrong, create a new account. Be prepared.
lol, he may very well declare for the draft but don’t pretend you are “in the know” or have any type of sources.
This turd is an example of what happens when your team ceases to exist.
What did that moron Ollie used
To say, play at a level 5.
Your posting is not at a level 5.
Be gone turd.
You don't know anything. Just trying to pretend to know. Knox may go, but you know nothing.
