Will there be room? I know this stuff always sorts its way out, but let's say Knox, SGA and one other declare. We already have 3 signed, right? And we have one scholly unused this year.

So, we still have 1 spot open assuming 3 leave this year, right? I haven't followed these recruits too much, so I'm not sure who I would rather have of Shareef vs. EJ if it becomes an either/or situation.

Not sure what will come of the Tai situation--that may free up another spot.
Looks like Brad Calipari's parents will have to pay Brad's tuition next year. Hopefully they can afford it.

I highly doubt we see Tai on the roster next year. No inside info, but being involved with people who get arrested is generally not condoned at a blue blood school. We shall see though.

If it is an either/or I’ll take whoever commits first.

I would love to see him at UK, but I believe I would wait until the dust settles

Exactly. What if you pass on one for the other, only to have them spurn you? A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush.

Cool. Although taking an Arizona recruit now does come with some baggage. People may assume he just went to his second highest bidder.

That's what everyone is going to assume about any kid who commits anywhere for the next several years.

I doubt he is concerned about the money. His DADDY wanted him at UK in the first place. Maybe, just maybe he is listening to daddy now. Very few people that realize who his daddy is will bring up him taking money. Just a few who may want to "stoke" some smoke...

Indeed.
The sons of multi-millionaires are the least likely to risk taking illegal benefits.

Shareef and Shaq we're smart to only fill out financial form...may see Shareef in LSU, waters is someone they can add Shareef with and may succeed. Would love for Shaq to come to our games and let's his son grow at his own pace. It may not be fast paste but growth still

Good grief, i think LSU had proven they have ZERO ability to coach high level talent. Ask Ben how that went.

At this point if it takes more than a few days for a UK commitment it may not be worth it. (I'm of the adage that getting shunned more than once is my fault.) That's just me...

UK won't offer him if they think they can get EJ IMO . But regardless EJ is the important recruit. O'neal is alot like SKJ IMO but slightly better .That isn't a bad thing as SKJ is a good back up who could become a good player by his senior year but EJ is stud and a top 12 recruit. He is the best big man left and regardless is a top 4 big in HS ( If you don't count Zion as a big ) .

Yeah but if you get Shaq pumping the program you have to take it most any way you can get it. It would be about a Barkley type mouth BUT a champion Shaq pumping UK...
