Yeah, I put a little stock into those rumors during our tourney run, especially assuming we went 40-0. When we lost, I still felt there was a little chance, then when all 7 left, I was like uh oh, but then he acted like all was well and moving on with UK to reload.
A few of these high schoolers want to be "the man" whereever they go,a bit different than in recent years.The talent is a bit down this year so it will be more difficult to be "the man" if there are other "men already there.It is not a good year for this to happen in our situation,if we had kept a couple of players that left it wouldn't be a problem.
But where does any of that come from? Cal has refuted the notion time and again. You might as well say there's a chance Self leaves for the NBA, because there is just as much baselessness regarding him or any coach for that matter.
Same here. I was actually looking forward to having some "meat" in the paint... a big body that couldn't be pushed around so easily. Now, I'll just keep my fingers crossed on Diallo... and/or hope this means Cal has Maker on board.
Yeah, the bigs are running out. Diallo would solve everything except getting another scorer. If no Diallo, Lee will have to be Skal's backup. Lack of a beef guy will hurt us a few games.
Yep. At this point Diallo would solve about 80% of what we're missing on the floor. Hopefully our recruits made an impact this week.
Or that Thorne didn't want to come to a situation where his every move is watched. Or that he liked the Illinois staff. Or the academic program that he'll be in. Or that he knows someone there. Or (unlikely) that he likes Champaign-Urbana.
You have to think it won't last.One of these kids will have to realize what a great chance they have coming here.
