Maybe Diallo was just a lottery ticket that Cal took knowing he has only a fraction of a chance to cash. Still worth it if you have an open scholarship (which UK did).
Diallo Entering Draft... Not hiring agent
- Thread starter MWes11
- Start date
You applying that to Diallo going to the NBA? Works both ways.
Asking someone to keep their end of the deal isn't selfish anyways..
Yeah I don't see him leaving. He would have to shoot it amazingly well to make up for the reality of his in game performances.
If you are drafting late first, do you really pass on someone like Kennard or Josh Hart for Diallo? And Hart isn't even projected first round, for that matter.
Of course it only takes one, and if someone is willing to invest a first round pick in Diallo, more power to him.
Your a confusing individual. #1 SG not ready for college but ready for NBA in 4 months.
I just hope Cal has a good backup plan.He had to know leaving was a possibility.
Cal look
But not to play during the season. Makes sense.
I read this same panic about our current team in January. It's absolutely hilarious!
I'm as big as a UK fan as anyone.... But I'm getting over losing all our players every year.... I know if you recruit the best players your going to lose a few... We lose a whole team every year... Save your troll bull shit ... It's old as shit... I love UK ... I'm over being a NBA stepping stone
No one knows all of the conversations with his coming on board.
We do know that Diallo expected to be back, at least he said this.
And we can be pretty sure that Cal expected the same.
But if he gets good feedback Cal cant stop him.
And Cal wasn't going against his word and playing the kid against his will this year. How would he do that anyway?
Negative PR? That is comical.
People are NOT upset that Diallo received a free education, free lodging, or instruction from college coaches.
That is a lie.
All of us are upset because we may be without our SG next year and it will hurt our season.
Please dont try any of this crap about the expenses when most on here want UK to spend a billion dollars for a new arena.
Saying Cal allowed the kid to not fulfill his end of the bargain is another weird and thoughtless remark in this tirade of yours.
Well Cal if you are still gone on a the recruiting trail right now....stay out there!
He didn't want to play. Makes perfect sense. Unless you are an obvious troll like you.
I trust in Cal. In my lifetime, other than Rick in the 90s, been an absolute pleasure during the Cal era.
I'm not going to react to this until I actually know what will happen. Ton are putting the cart before the horse. Could go or not. Could still land Knox Bamba Smith.
I'm gonna sit back and wait. Either way I know by February we will have a team that is capable to make another final 4.

I would, but maybe that's why I'm not an NBA GM lol.
Houston has often drafted in the 14-22 range in recent years.. Most of those players never amounted to anything. Jeremy Lamb, Royce White.. Yeah you got some years of Terrence Jones and Patterson.. but those picks were more or less useless. The 2nd round is quite silly if you step back and look at it.. 30 picks.. maybe 5 do anything note worthy in the NBA.. most don't even last past a year or two.
I'd take a flier on Diallo in the 2nd. What do you have to lose?
He brought in Baker, and is recruiting Smith and Johnson. Seems like he's looking at all contingencies.
Now we know why he signed baker and trying to sign Smith. This is a devastating blow to our team next year if he goes.
I would too. But if I'm Diallo, I don't stay in without a first round guarantee.
My post is based on him not coming back.
If he is just working out and getting feedback from the pros and plans to return, it makes perfect sense.
Reasoning behind that? I think it makes us a 10 loss team at least as we have no guard play if he leaves.
Really?Diallo is really a talented and explosive player.Shooting needs work but it could improve.Of course it would be a huge blow if he leaves.
I love Cal and his system. I'm perfectly content. I suggest you follow Princeton where they stay all four years and give it the ole college try.
Your a confusing individual. #1 SG not ready for college but ready for NBA in 4 months.
How many times do I have to say that I was quoting the player and his coach?
I'm sorry that confuses you, but reading your posts I'm not surprised.
I'm also not sure that you are worthy enough to pick on @ulismyman with these mind-numbingly awful posts of yours tonight.
Yea. All of these guys coming in, not playing, taking roster spots and then leaving, making the team worse.... ohhhhhh the horror.
Sure, but you cant have it both ways like many on here are stating.
If he goes it was the dumbest move Cal ever made. If he stays Cal is great and we have a stud SG...
I'm over this shit.... Cal wins a ton of games... But he's left a few titles on the board...
This class is not guard heavy.
If he didnt cause us to miss on anyone great then it's not an issue, other than our expectations for next year.
Generally speaking, I fail to find a silver-lining if Diallo goes pro this summer.
I don’t think UK had a great shot at a title next year, even with Diallo/Bamba, but being in the discussion does matter. Diallo/Bamba put UK in that discussion. Cal has helped shape a UK program with a foundation of being relevant annually. Guys like Diallo make that foundation a reality, both in their one year at UK and long-term.
Not having him on the roster next year would suck. He’s not a spring-time signee who we barely lost out on. He's directly connected to the Bamba recruitment, which is substantial. He’s also guy who was promoted for four months along the lines of “don’t come here if you aren’t playing next season.” Those were Cal’s words, and again, if Diallo bolts, Cal would have been wise to have never made those words public knowledge.
Yep can't really miss, what you never had. I honestly don't get the outrage.
Is the off-season that boring?
