Now reports coming out Bolden will NOT announce tomorrow lol

I'm done.

I agree. I hate the way these kids drag their announcements out.

Now reports coming out from Adam Zagoria Bolden will NOT announce tomorrow lol

I'm done.

[Matt Dillon]

Very interesting, thanks Will.

Yesterday on Valvano's radio show Cal talked about Briscoe and Lee probably going to the NBA combine and the possibility of adding one more player.

[Matt Dillon]

Feel good about Bolden at this point, as well. We shall see.

Any reason why, other than a hunch?

[KCKUKFan]

I enjoyed watching our guys play tonight at the Jordan Brand. Lots of talent there, obviously.

Feel good about Bolden at this point, as well. We shall see.

[Joneslab]

Bolden will make his decision on Sunday.

Considering Duke, Kentucky, TCU.

[Joneslab]

Fox and Monk were just named co-MVPs of the Jordan Brand Classic.

[Joneslab]

Clearly Cal has gone hard after him (and Allen) for months.

So the staff sees a need at center. More than Bolden individually, I just don't think they want to mix and match in the post and would love to put Bam at his natural spot. If Bam has to play the 5 then you're probably going to have to get a lot of production out of Wenyen Gabriel early at the 4. I think the staff would like to bring Gabriel (and maybe Killeya-Jones) along slowly rather than have to throw them into the fire.

2016 five-star center Marques Bolden told Scout he isn't announce his college choice today. There has been speculation.

Bolden seems like a very good player. But - is he more important in terms of a need UK has? Or is it more important in that going to UK would keep him away from Duke?

If he was picking between UK and whoever (Texas, Ohio St, Virginia, etc..) would people want him as bad?

I would, because he still fills a need. Even if he didn't I'd still want the kid. You can never have too much talent.

you don't think there is a reason cal has offered so many guys in 2016? And took commitments from wynard and killeya-jones?

You're crazy if you don't think cal may have some second thoughts on this class. There is a reason they have moved on from some of the top guys and are spending a lot of time on guys ranked lower than cal would normally look at.

that is complete nonsense and you know you are being stupid now. I have never said or thought ever that cal will strike out.

Quit being dramatic. All i said is after the disaster that was spring 2015 recruiting (outside of murray) and based on what i am being told, cal is not nearly as confident with getting his top 2016 targets as he once was. Will he still have a great class and get top 25 guys? Yeah, absolutely, but he is not going to get any of his initial top 4-5 guys.

lol.......

[Joneslab]

Ben Roberts just tweeted that Bolden's father said there will be no decision at this event. Have to make sure they get all the attention they can get before deciding.

Weird.

The only positive sign with this is that some of the Rivals guys who are saying things are looking good for UK were saying earlier today that he may not commit during the game.

SG Malik Monk
PF Sacha Killeya-Jones
PF Wenyen Gabriel
PF Bam Adebayo
PG De'Aaron Fox

And Kentucky is still in on C Marques Bolden, who is supposed to announce his decision in the coming days.

I knew I was forgetting someone.
