I read your post, and regretted it. You really think the extended fanfare matters to a lot of these guys anymore? Get your head out of your ass. Life will be just fine for them on campus next year and then i'm sure he'll be pretty content wherever he ends up after that.
I think recruits want (or should if they're smart.) to matter. It's not about hardware. I'm not making this s*** up, the kid himself said he wants to go to a college where he can make an impact, and not just on the court. How's he going to make an impact at a college basketball afterthought where people are nuts about football? The kids at the children's hospitals in Austin are going to wonder who this guy is because he's too tall and thin to be a tight end. Where else can you make a bigger impact off the court than at Kentucky?
No, Texas makes perfect sense. They have other players in the NBA, and they have girls. Also since Bamba is guaranteed top 5, he should've just thrown a dart at a map. Just go to Berea. Do whatever. Look at how smart I am because I'm deliberately not a homer.
He chose a school with a good recent history of getting top players to the NBA, with a top 5 recruiting class and a coach he has played for already and was pretty vocal about enjoying.
Feeding the post is basically a dead brand of basketball anyway.
Just wait till I start spittin mad hot takes on minor league soccer!
