Robert Dillingham will commit tonight @ 7. What are everyone’s predictions on where he will go? Would you rather have him or Wagner, if he was to choose Kentucky?
Robert Dillingham

A bird in the hand is worth two in her bush. Or something like that.
it’s like getting two birds stoned with one joint
After last night's fiasco, We need some good news to come our way
Everything is now a fiasco. Today's fiasco of somebody lying in regards to whether CAL was at the draft coupled with tonight's fiasco of Dillingham either chooses or doesn't choose UK is overtly ridiculous.
If Dillingham chooses UK, fiasco that we are not getting Wagner.
If Dillingham doesn't choose UK, fiasco that CAL not getting the best of the best.
No question in my mind that Dillingham will commit to Kentucky later today.
No question in my mind that Grom will be pissed either way.
What fiasco last night? Dilly Dilly will be a cat tonight
Huge day for Kentucky basketball perception. Imo he’s one of the cooler commits we will have had in a long time. To me he gives off Clarke(RIP), Monk, Wall vibes. Very popular, not the cleanest off the court but good kid, very flashy. I think Clarke would’ve had more success if not for COVID and Devin Askew at PG while the other two were stars obviously.
For people who haven’t seen him play just know it’ll be a relief that after 7 tonight our two commits for 2023 are comfortable with the ball in their hands, good shooters, and smart players. Also assuring is knowing he’s a great finisher at the hoop after his shiftiness gets him there. A PG that can beat his man, shoot the 3, and finish at the rim. BBN should be elated tonight.

I would say the season ending injury after 5 games probably didn’t help either
It’s modern Murican society man. Everything is either an ish-show or a conspiracy.
That sucked so bad. Man, I miss that kid. Always smiling. Had good energy. Dude was up off then bench, cheering for his teammates even when he was hurt and we struggled. Just a good kid.I would say the season ending injury after 5 games probably didn’t help either
Wear your seatbelts folks.
Well, Tre Young's mom said our dorns suck, so Dillingham is probably going to Oklahoma.
Clarke looked like a good play finisher, if he had been healthy and played with a good point guard he could have been a high level scorer.
Remember when that team beat Morehead by 40 and then Morehead made the tournament? Hard to believe how off the rails that season went.I would say the season ending injury after 5 games probably didn’t help either
I’ve been told by someone who is almost always right that it is a done deal for UK.
If he had not got injured, I think Clarke would have taken over the PG spot because of Askew not being ready, and would have done really well in that role just by getting to the rim and getting the ball to open guys.
Done deal always gives me the heebie jeebies...hope you're right
the dreaded "done deal". Hope your someone is right.
I’m not so sure I wouldn’t take Dillingham over Wagner anyway. Both are elite guards, obviously. To me, Dillingham just has another gear that I’m not sure Wagner possesses. Dillingham is the real deal and is flat out electric. Oh and he can shoot the rock.
Team just never gelled. Cal’s usually pretty good at find guys that mesh or work decently with one another. He just missed that year. Happens.
Still not an excuse. But every team has had one of those years where you look great on paper and then just suck.
I think he is coming to UK, but hope he reclassifies and shows up this fall and actually plays to help UK win big next season.
Between Sharpe and Askew reclasses have me uneasy.
I don’t know how any of us can recover from last nights draft debacle, but a commitment from Dillingham would be a nice start.
Yes it would. Rumors flying about for a game with IU in Rupp too. Both would signal Cal is either inching back to his old self or change is slowly moving.
The only debacle I saw last night was tyty almost falling into 2nd round. He lost a lot of money by turning pro one year too early. As far as Dillingham, love the kid's game after watching him in orlando a few months back. My UK buddies, not easily pleased, agreed.
To Kentucky . If I had to pick I’d rather have DJ Wagner but I think they are close in talent .
I will say this...as much as I would like Wagner to come....you DO NOT turn this kid away for any reason.
Jamal Murray was a good one.
I agree. Clarke just needed time for his skill development to catch up to his talent. I think it would have taken him a couple of years in or around the NBA (e.g., G-league) but he likely would have gotten there.
And I really like Dillingham’s skill level a lot. I think he will come in with a better combination of ball-handling, shooting and scoring than you usually see from freshman able to play high level Div. I basketball. But, I’m a little leery of his actual playing at UK even if he commits. I don’t have anything really to base that on, just a sense that he wants to move on to the next level as quickly as possible (more so than even typical - which is a lot) and may subsequently take another option even after he commits if he thinks it furthers that purpose.

What do you think are some of the more prominent differences you've seen (or maybe read about)?
