Hamidou Diallo to Test Waters (UPDATE: DIALLO TO RETURN TO UK)

[George]

I mean, I guess the longer this takes, the better it looks for UK? You'd think if he was dead set on going pro, he'd have already announced.

On the flipside there have been a few players who have been projected around Diallo decide to come back in the last couple of days. All those guys would have been looking for the same guarantee he's looking for.

^Will the players returning to school have an impact on Diallo's being picked higher? I know it depends on what position they played and if they were already ranked higher.

Andrew Jones returning to Texas.

That seems to be the line of thinking. Less competition for the possible spot where Diallo could be picked.

^So he could wait until the last minute to decide, as he watches what other players do. Makes sense to me.

Yep - hence Zagoria's "could go down to the wire" comment. Not much else makes sense, unless the Nets (or whoever) are still mulling over a guarantee. But, KSR claims Diallo's already made his decision, so if true, I'm not sure why he'd wait until the last second.

Yep, it could be a last minute decision.

[Joneslab]

Not sure how many players are still deciding to come back who are projected in the 20s.

Tyler Lydon maybe? D.J. Wilson. Carolina's Tony Bradley. Looks like most of those guys in that range have agents.

I'll be honest, if he announces he's turning pro i am flying off the freaking handle, will not be a fan of his ever again,sorry, just way i feel. He's's a kid with dreams and he doesn't owe me anything but on the flipside,i am a man with dreams i don't owe him jack crap either, all i care about is Kentucky winning titles..... If he's not playing for UK next year, to hell with him...

[Joneslab]

We don't owe him anything but we should be above hurling insults at kids from the safety of anonymous usernames.

To be disappointed and frustrated is normal. But there are better ways to express that on a message board than putting people on blast.

It's simple, he used Kentucky, the fans, and Calipari to get to the NBA as soon as possible, he never intended playing the first minute for Kentucky in my opinion.....

How'd he use the fans?

By getting our hopes up person by person county to county about our team next year only to let us down. Call it what you want, he used us, feel like we been violated with no vaseline.. It is what it is.......
