Diallo Entering Draft... Not hiring agent
- Thread starter MWes11
- Start date
If Diallo stays in the draft (which I doubt), I'll be disappointed, but I'd be more pissed that he technically didn't "play" here. I want his name associated with the UK program for years to come. He's going to be a great player. Put him in during a meaningless SEC game. Heck, Kyrie played 7 games at Duke and is now considered a full-fledged Coach K disciple.
I figured this would happen when he came in last yr. No idea why he didn't play. Others were saying how good he was in practice.
I didn't think he had that attitude..where did you see It? A lot of our 1 year guys no they are leaving before the year is over, that mean they are all bad leaders?
Coach K and Uconn both have 2 titles during this time frame and even UNC cheat has one and a buzzer beater away from 2. Their rosters have not turned over like ours
Well, you told him, "you, sir, are an idiot" and he simply asked you for an explanation as to why you said that as there was no clue in your post for your remark. I simply stated that he had made a good point that no one has yet to answer (how could Cal turn down the #1 SG and what would you have done differently). What a "like" has to do with anything is pointless, not sure why you even brought that into the discussion unless it makes you jealous or angry because he didn't give one to you for calling him an idiot??? Not sure why I'm even answering you as just about every post you have put up here has been very negative.
Overall good decision. You guys think if someone may offer you the job of your dreams you wouldn't inquire about it?...ok.
If anyone's butthurt I assume it's bc they think the players decisions should revolve around them.

You need to read the link. Players may declare for the draft MULTIPLE TIMES without losing eligibility. Not twice. Go back to you loser board huskie.

Meanwhile, no word out of Joel Berry yet, who just won a National Championship at UNC, and this is last day to declare. I guess he's coming back for his Senior year. Will probably be strong POY candidate next year like Mason. Makes no sense that he wouldn't at least test the waters.
Two programs. Who would you rather be a fan of UConn or UK? I think we know the answer.
If we can get Knox, then this won't really bother me. Was never really invested in Diallo. Of course I want him to stay, but......
Cal isnt a slave owner......He cant force Diallo to do anything... His only option is to back Diallo 100% in public for the sake of future recruiting.
That statement is just incorrect, the kid said publicly multiple times he was coming back.
just a month ago:
'The experience, he says, made him hungrier for next season. While he will be eligible for the NBA draft, Diallo speaks as if he's ready to lead the Wildcats in 2017-18.
"I know what the bigger goal is, so I'm just focused and trying to buckle down and get ready for next season," he said.'
Also please name the stud SG we could have gotten if not for Diallo?
Again, the #1 SG, our #1 recruit at the time. And because Cal signed him and let him commit early you guys are mad at Cal?
I understand the frustration of not having him next year. I feel the same.
But the anger is so misguided.
Sounds like a coach who is still actively recruiting and showing he puts his players first and supports them. Also sounds like a coach who is already marketing his kid for next year's draft, when Diallo has a legit shot at a top 15 slot in the draft.
Cal called Briscoe a guy capable of lottery if he added a jump shot; he said scouts drooled over Humphries when they saw him at the UK combine two years ago. Part of his success is based on how he promotes his players. That said, what else should Cal have tweeted, even if he felt Hami was returning?
Well the NBA drafts on potential/athleticism right? Otherwise Kennard would be the first pick in the draft.
Basically everyone got played..short, sweet, simple. Not here to write a novel...
Tired of this BS! Give me some kids that want to be here.
You can do it as many times as you want. You're wrong.

It is never fun going into a season knowing you have no chance to win it all. Thats why when we lose as contenders, it hurts worse because you lose your whole damn roster.
So he isn't ready to play at UK but is ready to play in NBA? Your logic is off buddy.
I don't know why people are so upset
The kids main goal is to get to the NBA, regardless if it's this year or next. And anybody that is saying that Cal needs to go is a complete moron
Raise your hand if you want another round of Billy G, I'm guessing there is no takers out there.

Probably. However I'm not as confident as others in Diallo returning. Have we had many players "test the waters" then return?
May be why Cal was pitching Knox as a 2 guard.Still don't feel we get him.
This thread is moving too fast to keep up.
7 pages over something that anyone with 1/4 of a brain knew was going to happen 3 months ago.
Y'all really are crazy.

Same thing you would do if I hadn't commented probably. People were giving opinions on the subject so I did, keep scrolling if you don't agree little fella
Coach K is a better coach than Cal. Roy Williams is a better coach than Cal. Calhoun was a better coach than Coach Cal. Sorry if that offends any of you, but I"m basing it on their whole body of work.
The Ollie loss hurts a lot because Cal is most certainly a vastly superior coach to him. If UK is fully healthy I feel they win that game, same with Poy in 2015. That's probably two titles Cal most likely haves if not for injuries.
Hard to have too much of an opinion w/o knowing the convo on how he came mid-year. I doubt Cal asked for an promise but I can understand anyone feeling it should have been part of the deal.
And I am going to say that 5 months of him being here affected recruiting to some degree.
