Don't believe he lands in the first round with as stacked as this draft is, but then again nobody's seen him play in months.

I realize that this should not be surprising in the least of bits, but if he does stay in the draft I will no longer be one of the fans that defends one and done (that is provided it is not in the Daniel Orton model, where they don't even finish the semester).

Certainly won't go all crazy UK fan on him, but I will be thoroughly incensed.

And peeved at Cal.

He had me fools with all his "looking forward to next season talk"...will be a huge blow if he's not here next season.

Now I'm concerned. Will be a huge blow if he's not back next season. He really had me fooled with all his rheotoric that he was looking forward to next season.

[DA#23]

My coworkers will destroy me.

I can hear it now, "Hey Mayutt, is Hamidou gonna play????"

[BJD]

I said from the beginning this was a possibility. I won't be mad either way other than mad that we didn't play him this season. There was absolutely no reason to not play him this year. He was the 3rd best guard on the team.

but, this is how it is when the coach puts the players first. And that's OK with me.

This is bull.

Huge blow.

So many good players in this draft, however. There are going to be 35 or so players who are first-round worthy, maybe more. Diallo won't be one of those unless he's really improved from the last time scouts saw him against high school competition.

This is bull"""",, should of played him this year,would of been a upgrade over Briscoe. Free education for nothing...

[George]

But he developed so much in those four months, JWORLD.

Please.

If this is what Kentucky's going to be, we should start referring to players by number instead of name.

[J.Jennings]

He'll get drafted before Briscoe

[George]

Hell get drafted before Briscoe

That's easy to say about a guy who's never getting drafted. Diallo could get drafted next year and he'd still be drafted before Briscoe.

[J.Jennings]

Why not steal a top ten 1st rounder next year in the late first or second round this year, what GM wouldn't take that deal...

[J.Jennings]

Bout time for Calipari go get his """ down the road, im growing tired of his """" and one Championship aint even close to his big talk of Ucla in the 70's,
