WHO IS STAYING? (ANSWER: Green, Richards, Washington, Baker)

[J.Jennings]

^ When you start missing on top five recruits your MO pretty much has to change.

Or actually start working for the University of Kentucky and the fans for those millions of dollars that UK is paying youreach and every year lol lol lol. I get it that Cal takes pride in making these kids millionaires but at some point, would be nice that he take one for the team and actually re recuit what he already has, maybe his MO has changed....

Here's a story from SEC Country that was posted on twitter. It says Cal advised Knox to come back next season. That's a switch! Maybe Cal finally sees the light that you have to have a good core of veterans to win it all.

It also could mean Cal's telling Knox if he comes back, improves his strength and has a breakout season, he would very likely be a lottery pick next year.

Of all i want Knox back more than any, can't teach size with all the things he can do and he only scratched the surface.

I refuse to believe that Shai pushing back his announcement has nothing to do with all the Kevin Know returning smoke.

He’s likely a lottery pick this year. If he weren’t, there probably wouldn’t be any debate and he’d return without much thought.

The thing to consider is A. His age, and B. The quality of next year’s draft. It’s projected to be exceptionally weak, and a guy like Knox could land in the top five if he plays it right.

He is already projected to be a lottery pick this year (10-15) More likely telling him
that with another here he would be much more developed physically and emotionally.
His age has to be a factor.

Maybe I should have said a top 5 lottery pick. I didn't realize the lottery picks went that far down.

Stop getting my hopes up, KC.

PJ declares, will not hire a agent...

14 lottery picks. One for each team not making the playoffs the previous year.

It almost seems like he's wanting to see what Knox does. Could you imagine if they both came back?

Also, because it gets brought up this year, I'll go ahead and ask how many scholarships are allowed? Is it 12 or 13? We have:

SGA
Diallo
Knox
PJ
Richards
Quade
JV
Wenyen
SKJ
Baker

And bring in

Herro
IQ
Johnson

That's 13.

As he should. Workout, go through the combine, get input and then come back and improve.

I miss Chris Hill.

I think if Cal advised Knox to come back it is mainly about maturity plus a little more experience.
