    Briscoe probably is more important, but having that true big body down there would be big for Kentucky.

    I think Bolden is going to take some time to develop though. What you like about him when you watch him is that he has unbelievable length, and he's more athletic than he looks. Runs the floor and doesn't plod. Think he would be good for this team because he could get out and run with Fox and Monk, and he has the skill to be a low-post scorer. Good combo on this team.

    But if we get him and Briscoe jumps it won't be a net win for UK. I'd rather have one in the hand however today at 2:30.

      We need to avoid getting too high or too low over this. Bolden is generally considered the number one center in this class, but he is not an Anthony Davis or DeMarcus Cousins or a Karl Townes. The significance is choice is heightened because it is between us and Duke and we'd like to beat Duke in anything. I am not dissing the kid. I would love to have him. But, the importance may be as much symbolic and psychological as it is practical.

      I am not sure that Briscoe's decision is not more important to our success next year than is Bolden's.

      True, good points.

      I think Bolden does fill a need we have. However (for me) I think it's more important to keep him away from Duke. With him, Duke is crazy loaded, like 2015 UK loaded.

      Get Bolden and Briscoe returns = UK #1 team in 2016/2017. Miss on both and things suddenly get a little shaky.

          After a couple of last minute conversations, I think Marques Bolden is likely to pick Duke...hopefully I end up wrong

            Nobody has any idea.

            It could very well be Duke, but those "last minute conversations" are probably with people who don't know.

              This has the same feel as Nerlens Noel and Jamal Murray. Everyone starts to pick the other guys and then ends up at UK. We will see soon what happens.

                Feels a lot like Jaylen Brown to me. Hopefully it turns out like Noel and Murray though!

                  If it went totally like Brown he would end up at TCU.

                  Brown remains probably the strangest saga I've ever followed.

                          With or without him, i think we should be good especially if Lee returns and D. Willis can continue to improve with all the new guys coming in. Our season doesn't hinge on Bolden in my opinion.....

                                I don't see him mastering "the flop" in just one year.
