I don't like it either, but it is how Cal has chosen to run the program so unfortunately you need to get use to it. I have greatly lowered my expectations and it has helped me. Cal needs to have the best of the best to win it all and even then it may not work. Last year we basically had a pro team and it didn't work.

Cool dude, those aren't my kids. Tell me Dakari would have went pro at ANY other college? Same with the Harrisons. He pushes these kids out the door to make a quick buck then in a few years they won't sniff the NBA.
LOL at alot of these posts. UK will have its best roster ever next year if we get Bolden as we will have 6-7 LOTTO picks. Duke if Allen stays ( don't think he does ) would be 2 and MIch St would be 3. After that everyone else is average as KU will lose Seldon and Ellis and possibly Greene ( KU fans think he leaves too ) and everyone else isn't even worth mentioning. UL will be lucky to be top 20 since Onuaku is leaving .
I'm curious who Kentucky fans think Kansas will fill out this 2016 class with. To my knowledge we are still in the hunt for Allen, Jackson and Ferguson. After that it is up in the air. I think Selden and Diallo are gone (Diallo should stay) and we'll have to work to keep Svi (who could go play pro overseas for a year before putting his hat in the NBA draft).
There's no foregone conclusion Wayne Selden is leaving Kansas. If he does go, the likelihood of getting Jackson or Ferguson go way up for the Jayhawks.
Kansas likely returns Mason, Graham, Vick, Svi Mykhailiuk, Greene, Bragg, Diallo, Coleby (Ole Miss transfer), Lucas. Azubukie and Lightfoot are already signed. The Jayhawks are also very high on Maker, Jackson, Ferguson, and Corprew. If Wayne Selden or Cheick Diallo leave early, the likelihood of getting a Maker or Jackson go up significantly.
At the end of the day, Kansas is likely to be stronger next year than they are this year. Carlton Bragg should pickup where Perry Ellis left off but there's a lot of players who have emerged at Kansas that should only be better next season. You'd be hard-pressed not seeing them #1 again, just like this season.

Not necessarily. If Selden leaves KU will probably get Josh Jackson, and if Diallo leaves KU will probably get Thon Maker.
If I was Selden and there was any chance to sneak into the first round I'd definitely take it. I would love to have him back but the draft will be much deeper next year.
Diallo, on the other hand, slipped into the second round in many mocks and I think he'd be pretty foolish to leave. He'd get a lot more time next year and he has talent. One more season will push him into the lottery I'm going to boldly guess.
Losing Perry is tough but Bragg will step right in there and we get Frank Mason and Devonte Graham back so that's the two point guards back which are the engine that runs this team.
