But just like others before him at UK (Master Blaster Madison)(Charles Hurt)(Alex Poythress), things don't always workout for these guys and they either 1 maxed out early or 2 lost the will to improve and do not pan out. Not saying Lee is in this mold but if you remember like WCS, he played more than just BBall in high school. He is what he is. A guy that gives 5 to 15 minutes a game, 3 to 5 fouls in that time frame and maybe 2 to 10 points and 0-5 rebounds. If he comes back that is all he will be.
Bolden on the other hand is a known / college unknown talent. He has the size and ability. Still will not know much about him till he plays a few games. Briscoe on the other had is a known hard nosed player that gives positives on both sides of the ball game in an game out. Hope to see him back in UK Blue this year.Proverbs 25:24Comment

I hope Cal isn't "encouraging" players to leave in order to free up scholarships. The timing of Matthews news seems very coincidental with Bolden's announcement tomorrow.Philippians 4:11-4:13Comment

For UK it allows Bolden to possibly have that spot. And Matthews was probably not the caliber of player who was going to be a mainstay at a place like Kentucky. A transfer and a year to get stronger may work out to him, a la Wiltjer.Comment

I agree. Although it makes a lot of sense for Matthews. If Briscoe comes back his playing time was going to be extremely limited. After this development I'm convinced now that Bolden is going to make the right decision and become a Cat.Comment

I can't imagine it, I think it is just the nature of the beast. Kids like Wiltjer and Mathews get recruited by Cal and come to their "Dream School", then they start seeing this revolving doors of studs come in and get all the playing time and they realize they may be better at a different school where they can play more. Obviously coming in to this situation you would think that they already know what their future will hold and that if they don't really improve yearly they won't see as much PT as they may think they deserve.
I for one hate to see Charles go, loved his energy and really think he was only a year or two away from being a good player, the athleticism is no doubt there.
He will probably go to a team and be a starter, and I wish him the best....hope it works out for him like it did Wiltjer.👍 1Comment
