Each passing day it seems more and more likely that these two can coexist on the floor together next year. With Bam slipping in the mock drafts and Humphries leaving the opportunity is there for both kids in the UK frontcourt.

I'm starting to agree with this more and more with each passing day. Would be incredible if it happens.
 
If this were the case...

Green
Diallo
Vanderbilt
Bam
Bamba

Bench and potential minutes
Washington
Johnson (possibly)
Richards
Shai
Baker
Wynyard
 
I read it as exactly the opposite. With each passing day, it seems more and more likely that Bamba is waiting on Bam to officially go pro. If Bam doesn't, I doubt Bamba comes.

Good position either way, and honestly, I don't think UK needs both (though I'd obviously take it).
 
If Bamba is as smart as advertised he will see the logical choice is to come play the 5 spot at UK. Block a bunch of shots and get rebounds. Get the exposure that comes with Cal, UK, and a championship contender. Then, get drafted top 3 in next year's draft. Worked out pretty well for Anthony Davis.

so weird because this says the opposite.

Mo Bamba says the Jarrett Allen and Marques Bolden decisions don't impact him. Feels he can play anywhere & would rather learn from others

What would you expect him to say? He's been tight-lipped through his entire recruiting process.

Let's put it this way- this whole time that UK has been recruiting Bamba, do you think they've been telling him "you'll probably be playing with Bam Adebayo"?

I don't.
 
Bam drawing double teams will certainly open up Bamba for some lobs at the rim.

In all honesty, if you're good enough you'll get noticed anywhere you play. Fultz at Washington is a prime example.
 
To everyone saying it can't happen because they both want to play the 4...Bam pretty much played Center all year for us last year. If Bam comes back, he is going to start whether or not Bamba commits. If Bamba commits, he is going to start whether or not Bam comes back. They're both going to play the 4/5 regardless and both going to start regardless. The only people who really should be concerned are Richards and Washington as neither of them are starting over Bam or Bamba.

Both want to play the 4 spot. Its not happening.
Weren't you the board point man on the Wiggins recruitment? IIRC, you even dropped hints daily as to when Wiggs was gonna pull the trigger for UK.
 
Both will not be at UK next year. Just doesn't pass the commonsense test.

I'm just hoping one of them ends up at UK.
