Isaiah Briscoe was the only one who ever said he would make it to the NBA. I'm pretty sure everyone else told him otherwise.
Is that it for Kentucky? Or do we get both Briscoe and Humphries in 2nd

I'd like to think my inner circle of people, my coaches and family and my own insight into my situation and the financial/career implications would outweigh "What's 12 people saying about me on a message board?"
In order to win titles it's imperative to have kids like Briscoe stick around. If he's talented enough to potentially play professionally (somewhere), then he's talented enough to play for UK. Having a talented upper classmen with two years of playing experience would be huge for us. Yet he left and didn't get drafted. I don't care what any blue-tinted fan says, that's a problem. And of course it's the dirty little secret that none of us talk about (the impact of rarely having talented veterans), because we're so enamored with the next big recruit and having the top rated class. Hate to see 10-15 years of Calipari having top rated recruiting classes and only a single title to show for it.
My only point; we must find a way to get talented kids who aren't guaranteed first rounders to stick around. It's a must.

Not what Cal wants. He wants a constant revolving door of O&D. I think that is what keeps Cal motivated.
Wow!! Please enlighten us on what you have contributed to our success. Here is your chance to really pat yourself on the back. Don't screw it up.
I agree to a point, but from all accounts Briscoe didn't like school and just wanted to make money. It wouldn't really be fair to him to try to force him to stay.
Briscoe improved from his first year to his second. Maybe as a 4 year player he would have stood a better chance at getting drafted by continuing to improve his game. Other factors prevailed in his decision making.
It would have been nice to have his experience on next year's team.

I don't see it that way. The guy played his heart out game after game with a win at all cost attitude. Maybe he ball hogged some but my view is that he never gave up when some others seemed to. The guy is barely old enough to drink. Never had a job. Of course they want to get paid for doing what they love. Their friends are flipping burgers.
I am. You told me I was contributing nothing to the success. Now I want to know what you have done in order to call me out? Either share or stop complaining about others
