No doubt Cal wants Cam to come in but was not going to risk Knox recruitment. You would be hard pressed to not know if you are Cam. Got one more week, go on your Ariz visit, he ended up visiting Oh. St, and will take visits to Ariz, UCLA, Oregon. The guy wanted to commit but Cal said take your visits and we still want you but after the Knox decision. You will be a missing piece. Cam is mature enough to understand and not get his feelings hurt, he hopefully comes in with Bamba. Great little team coming in if Johnson commits.

Funny I think UK is a "great little team" without Johnson.

"Great little team." Ha! We'd have a five-star backup at every position.
 
We were all set on Knox going elsewhere and everyone wanted Johnson because of his experience and 3pt shooting. But this is awesome either way. If we get Bamba, this class will be stupid.!

I don't know that Cal actually said those words, but you have to imagine that Cam feels his thunder has been stolen. He felt attracted to the other schools enough to take visits ...

Did you talk to Cal? The fact you think he tells players to hold off on committing before others is laughable. I'm sure that's why we waited for Trae Young.... oh wait we didn't why? Well because there's more players that really want to come here. Cal has learned after Bolden and I love it. We won't turn anyone down that wants to play for the blue and white that has a scholarship offer

"Almost, not quite but almost..."
 
What he means is what you said isn't true. Cal doesn't just take every kid that wants to play for UK. If the kid has academic or character issues, or has a father named Lavar Ball, he ain't taking him.

I'm guessing you missed the offered a scholarship part. We just don't offer every player
 
I think we will either have Johnson or diallo on next year's team. If I was a betting man I would say it is Johnson. But if we add Bamba we are good regardless .

Starters - Green/Alexander/JV/PJ/Bamba

with Baker the back up guard and JV playing some guard as well

Richards and SKJ the back ups at center

Knox , Gabriel and Tai the back ups atm SF/ PF .

That team is deep AF and with 9-10 future NBAers. Add Diallo and Johnson and HollyF.

I understood exactly what he meant the first time. Had he experienced Rooster Cogburn he'd have caught that reference...

An experienced senior leader is the only missing piece. Get Johnson UK us set, Diallo would be great too but I don't see him returning.

Knox isn't going to be a backup on next years team...and for sure to Alexander at SG.
 
if Diallo comes back we don't get CJ, if Diallo goes pro we still have a decent shot at CP IMO.
