DIGNITY

[4+4+1-1=8]

I went back and watched several videos in which Diallo discusses his overall post secondary plans. In every instance the young man showed himself to be an intelligent and dignified individual. He's been respectful of others, himself and the opportunity that his GOD given talents have afforded him. Unfortunately, a large portion of the media and BBN in all their ignorance have failed to do the same. With that said, I don't think he owes anyone an announcement or an explanation of why he's come to the decision that he has in regards to providing for his family and where he will lace up his shoes next season. Whatever he decides, in this 12th hour I would like to wish him nothing but the best, thank him for providing our guards a level of defensive intensity that they hadn't faced in practice until he came to U.K. and most of all for being a well spoken, dignified representative for the University of Kentucky Men's Basketball team.





GO BIG BLUE!!!

Yeah, if he chooses to stay in the draft, I pray the worst elements of the forum choose to remain silent instead of unloading yet another volley of hate. But we all know that isn't gonna happen.

Personally, a lot of the hateful things that I've done in my life and are ashamed of are a result of pure ignorance. "Not knowing" is literally one, if not the most, dangerous element in life. I know I'm grasping at straws here, but I would ask that any individual who is willing to condemn someone to first take the time to empathize and put yourself in their shoes. This documentary provides insight into Diallo's past and the road that led him to the point in his life where he chose to come to UK. Don't be ignorant, watch the 30 minute film and then ask yourself what would you do if you'd grown up in Queens New York and had the choice to ball or hustle? My friends, he hasn't hustled anyone, including UK, and is only trying to better the lives for his loved ones.

Did you show your true colors and lose your dignity during Diallo's combine visit? If so, regain it by being a man and owning it. After doing that, become the biggest Diallo supporter out there and hold on to your seat, because if you thought this was crazy you ain't seen nothing yet! As Cal has always said, sit back and enjoy the ride, which now includes Diallo's 2ND SEASON at the University of Kentucky!

Go Big Blue!!!

The kid even gives all of the ignorant fans an out in his tweet. One of the better examples of dignity and transparency that I've seen in a long time. Especially for a kid his age. Too bad some of the posters on here can't handle transparency and are to proud to admit their errors in order to gain dignity themselves. If you still want to continue to bash Diallo please do me a favor and do it on this thread so I can have a readily available checklist of people I need to put on ignore.
