Another Sportswriter says Diallo to withdraw from NBA Draft

Someone is talking. I think Diallo camp has told some NBA guys he's staying at UK & that's were the leaks are. Zags is talking to Diallo camp & they're saying still deciding...draws attention.
 
IMO, too much smoke now not to be highly likely that he returns. Somehow it got out and I think the DIallo people are just holding off for the suspense and helping build the kids brand from the media attention he's getting. Glad he's on board!!
 
UK has already had 2 surprises this spring with Knox and Bamba. So nothing would surprise me at this point. I am hopeful based on the couple of tweets about him coming back. But it seems as if he definitely wants to go pro ASAP.

So we have a Nets guy and Bulls guy (If I'm not mistaken) saying he is coming back. Sounds like Diallo's camp is letting the teams that was his radar know and then they are leaking it even though it isn't "official".
 
I hope he's right, not sure how legit he is though...

I'm sort of buying into that theory as well. We shall see.
 
Kyle Tucker is an ass.Always seems to want to be negative about UK news.Seemed to want to make a huge deal about the Briscoe comments.Jerry Tipton 2.0.
I remember him saying people were overreacting to briscos comments then he changed his tune and said they were bad basically. I cannt stand this guy, where the hell did he come from?

IMHO, If he can get a team to commit to drafting him in the 1st round, he'll go, if not he returns.

That's why we see these reporters from specific teams that had Hami in for workouts leaking that he's returning to UK. They have told him that they can't guarantee they'll draft him if he declares.

He's holding out for ANY team to give him a 1st round guarantee until 11:59 tonight.

At this point I wouldn't trust anyone's guarantee (In this draft) unless it was in writing...

This is mosy likely accurate. Playing for UK is the consolation prize imo.
 
I always say that when everyone on the internet is predicting a kid to select a school, that's the pick. Sounds obvious but a lot of posters refuse to accept defeat (or victory) in recruiting.

All the internet is saying Diallo to UK. I like our chances.
 
Not saying I care for Tucker but he's an outsider (used to write for Virginia Tech) so he does offer a different view. If you are looking for a homer to tell you the Kumbaya campfire (all is fine and dandy) story, he's not going to be the one.
 
Heck, I thought he had to join The French Foreign Legion the way he is dragging this out. Now it is a little much. Day before, maybe...
He's dragging it out for suspense, recognition and branding for the future. Nothing wrong with that. They give him until midnight tonight to make a decision. Can't blame him for taking the time allotted.

and even then....

So, I had a random thought
I'm wondering....knowing Cal as we do...if the decision was made a few days ago but there is another reason why it hasn't been announced. We are still waiting on Cam right? Cal has been know to time announcements for maximum effect or to take the sting out of bad news

Like I said, just a random thought

Could also be the Diallo's last pitch effort to make an organization feel some pressure I suppose.

We'll see.

I bet the decision was made a few days ago, like you said this is all likely for maximum effect and hype imo. I don't like that and I'd say most don't, not when there's a situation nearly every year that keeps us from knowing our roster until the last week of May. It's not a big deal and I'm not trying to complain and I could be wrong, just is what it is.
