Bolden. Wait for it...

[Bungalow Bill]

I did find this -
but it says he told ESPN, not Goodman - but Goodman happened to be the writer of the story. Perhaps a minor distinction

Exactly. It's goodman spinning something that wasn't said directly to him by Marcus or his brother.

Just cant see Marcus Lee in the NBA.
D League "maybe"...but Im sorry he just is not an NBA player.

You're as sharp as I've seen...

I dunno. Think some people are sleeping big time on Lee's NBA potential (proceeds to laugh hysterically).

 

[Montana81]

not really

Yeah I'm gonna have to go ahead and agree with you. His decision making was strong. The only part of his game that was lacking was shooting.

 

[SomeDudeCRO]

I seriously doubt Cal is so fickle that one little interview mistake burns any bridge...

It's way more likely Lee is still firmly in the player's first camp

 

[EnglandWildcat]

The NBA combine is May 11-15. I think by the end of that week, Lee will have gotten enough feedback to know if needs to come back or stay in the draft. He's not going to wait until the last minute to decide.

That would still give Bolden an opportunity to sign a letter of intent. If Lee doesn't decide by May 18, Bolden can just sign scholarship papers. It's really not that big of a deal.

I mostly agree. I was just responding to another poster who suggested hat Bolden was waiting for a "certain" scholarship.

 

[the stat man]

Yep Jeff Goofman or Patty Forde better known and Pitino and Jurich's little hand puppet would love to spin a story of how a player left UK because he was forced out by Cal !!

 

[EnglandWildcat]

Is the front moving today? Or is it still stalled over Texas?










I'm guessing the latter.

 

[The_Answer1313]

well, with all due respect, he did say he doesn't BELIEVE Bolden knows - not stating as fact, but as opinion.

Exactly

Cal is throwing everything at Bolden. I have to admit he is a juggernaut all by himself.

Please stop. Nobody is buying what you're selling. I'm sorry you didn't get the response you were looking for.

Thought Bolden was a done deal to Duke - announcing tomorrow?

What do you call sending 4 assistants at the very end of a recruitment and telling the kid to "trust us"? Is that "throwing everything"?

 

[redbudman]

This is the kind of loyalty I like to see. It's heartwarming, really. At some other places the players are viewed cynically, they exist merely to entertain the fan base - they serve no other purpose really - and are discarded as soon as something better comes along. Really glad we aren't like that. Way to go!!

So you don't think Pitino was right in 1996 by not renewing Roderick Rhodes scholarship so we could get Mercer and win in 1996 and almost 1997! Now that is loyalty to a tee! You Must not care about winning! Maybe we should hire TEN LOSS TUBBY back! GEEZE! Check out the boxscore in the title game against Syracuse! Mercer was 8-12 for 20 points! Before game he went to Pitino and told him he WAS READY! That is the type of players WE need! Not volleyball players!

Pfft 24 pages, that's nothing. Check out the Louisville and UNC scandal threads.

Kentucky bound

 

[KMKAT]

I like knowing what Duke has to say to kids to try to convince them to sign there over playing for Cal. That comment, "If you come here, you're set for life" is probably what he told Thornton as well.

 

[Drcatfan]

Bump - because I feel a decision is coming soon...

 

[BillionthUKFan]

Bump - because I feel a decision is coming soon...

Just curious... what makes you feel that?

 

[gracetoyou]

Bump - because I feel a decision is coming soon...

I think a decision is already been made. We're waiting for announcement not a decision. And there will not be an announcement until Lee publicly says he's not coming back to UK.

May 15th would be the earliest.
