Bryan Fonseca says Diallo is staying
- Thread starter JRowland
- Start date
work on his game and raise his draft status so that he can become a lottery pick. He would be the most explosive athletic to play at Kentucky since Ron Mercer & Derek Anderson.
You realize every team is interested in him but if it ain't the 1st round it don't matter obviously none are or he would of signed an agent by now.
Couldn't say that in any of the other threads?
A lot of people predicted he was leaving and were decent about it, but there are handful that were awful and will get reminded as they should, each and every time they post until football season starts.
Couple of items.
The Nets have picks in the 20's, a story came out today stating Diallo was not interviewing teams with picks above 20.
CAM would rather be at UNC than UK, give me the kid who wants NBA or UK rather than UNCheats.

Gotta be a tough decision for the kid. Your dream is to play in the NBA, but you're not getting maybe the info you hoped to get. You wanna go ahead and make the jump but it's not the spot you were hoping for. Be a tough decision to make at 18.
Pathological narcissism. His every thought demands a thread. They do not belong in the threads filled with the thoughts of lesser mortals, crammed in like sardines. First-class threads only for this guy. He has the best thoughts, tremendous thoughts. Everyone agrees.
I think most would agree it'd be a lot better if it weren't the same.
Since no one else has the common courtesy to say it, how you doing Smooth?
Nice point. Glad you made your own thread for this as it would have been a shame if it got lost in one of the other Diallo threads. This needs to be seen.
If he only averaged 10%'on his 3 pointers in tryouts....I hope he can get to the rim
Look, all I can say is as a fan I'm not going to pretend to love this situation if I don't.
I've always supported the Cal way of bringing in elite talent over the product Tubby and Billy G were putting on the floor several years prior, and he is without question the right fit for this program. The day he leaves will be a sad day for UK athletics. At the same time, I'm going to give my honest opinion as a UK fan and sometimes it's not going to be in line with an approach that Cal's taking. I WANT to be wrong about this because I want UK to have as much elite talent as possible and Diallo is an elite talent, but I still won't like situations like this even if he does come back because I just don't like the idea of the program receiving the mocking label of "none and done". I don't like the idea that UK could potentially be used as a glorified practice facility without a player putting in minutes for us in actual games (non-Kanter situation). Some fans are okay with that, that's fine, we just have a difference of opinion is all.
And if he decides NOT to come back, I can guarantee you I won't be pulling up old posts laughing at everyone that said he would come back and he was just testing the waters to get feedback. I'll be too busy being upset that my favorite team just lost a really important piece for next season.
Reason why Bricsoe liked him. Rolled him up in horse all winter.
It was silly and immature for people to get so upset prior to making his decision, which he still hasnt made.
If he leaves most of us will be frustrated and if he leaves without a 1st round guarantee that will suck.
But all of the evidence we have been given suggests he and Cal have done everything like they knew they would back in January.
If he truly is not interviewing teams with picks past #20 then the kid is doing this perfectly.
If you didnt trash the kid then no one has lost any respect for you, I dont get why people who simply had an opinion are so worked up? @BigBlueFanGA and @LineSkiCat14 were predicting he would leave when he got here, no one is upset with them.
We have douches here who are either trolling hard or a fans we dont need ala Harvey Updike.
Says Diallo is at his barber in Queens, getting his tips frosted.
There is a difference between not agreeing with something and then people on here (not sure how shitty you were with attacks on diallo/cal) tearing diallo and cal to shreds like this would be Cal's new recruiting method and diallo used uk.
Jesus h Christ, he will most likely never have a situation where a top 10 recruit graduates early and comes in mid year.
Even at that how the hell was he supposed to say no. Only a fool would have said no.
There are several idiotic responses in that 29 page post that started when diallo declared.
All those poeople should go away for 12 months and get some perspective.
Saying shitty things about UK Players/coaches doesn't show passion, it just looks foolish.
Would love to him back, if for nothing else than having three elite wings playing together in the same offense.
Cal can send Diallo, Vanderbilt, and Knox to the first round in a year and start selling, “multiple elite wing forwards can play in my offense simultaneously – just look what I did with these guys.”
Plus, having Diallo and Vanderbilt out on the wing defensively can only be a good thing.

Geez, would that be great? Already PG U and should be big man U. To be SF U?
Cal waits to get 7 SF's in one season while James Young and Briscoe held down the position until now...
I completely agree. Plus, Diallo seems like the type who desires to go airborne and crudely teabag any mofo who gets between him and the rim. Give me six guys like that and I'll take down a Roman legion on an open battlefield.
Let's hope this is true and Diallo wants to play college basketball at Kentucky next season. Cam is a nice recruit and would probably help Kentucky a lot next season with his shooting stroke, but Diallo is one of the elite recruits in the class. Diallo is the type of talent you bring in and if things go well, the kid works on his shooting from deep and if that happens, we're talking about one of the very best players in college basketball. If the kid shows improvement with his shooting, he is one of those guys you just can't stop on a basketball court. Let's hope! While it's probably unlikely, even if Diallo comes back, still might have a chance at signing Cam as well and have the best from both players.
