Bamba and Knox article

Well, if UK doesn't get Bamba and Bam doesn't come back then not making it passed the first week of the tournament is a very likely scenario. Hate to burst anyone's bubble.

So the author states that without Bamba Uk would have a difficult time getting to the 2nd weekend in March.

What a dumbass.
Extremely dumb. We will have five five star starters and two or 3 five stars off the bench with out bamba. Just dumb. Alexander is aparen very underated shot the three deadly at the Derby game and is following suite at the Iverson all star game our one weakness may now be a strength. With or without Bamba we have a rim protector in Richards who doesn't have bambas length but he is 260 lb 7fter with a Magloire attititude. Whoever wrote this is low iq

Agreed, we will be fine without Bamba, but with him we're even better of course.
 
So without Bamba, it will be tough for UK to make it to the second weekend, but if Missouri lands Knox, they're a legitimate Final 4 threat? Let's see, one team has a coach that has never made it past the Sweet 16 and will have at most TWO 5* recruits, while the other team has a Naismith Hall of Fame coach with a roster full of 5* recruits. So which team sounds more likely of a Final 4 to you? Btw, what did Martin do with Brown and Rabb at Cal?

Yea, cause Cal has a habit of not making it to the second weekend, like twice in the last eight years. And to be fair, one of those teams weren't even given a chance to make it past the first weekend. I mean it's totally predictable, since Cal makes the final four twice as often as he bows out before the Elite Eight. It's as if you were born just last year.

No experience, but tons of talent. Not many teams can field a team with 7 5-stars and 3 4-stars. So young, though. Not a single Junior or Senior on the squad.

I would expect S16 from this team, though a first or second round departure would not surprise me.

Adding Johnson and returning Bam would really go a long way toward improving the experience on this team. Bamba would add to the talent.

I really expect to get Johnson. I feel pretty good about Bamba. I don't expect Bam back, though.
