No one is saying that. Sounds agenda driven. The so-called expert probably hope it happens.

Yeah this article was from Sunday. Why post it now? Everything said in that article can be found in the original thread about Diallo declaring.

In other words, Gary Parrish got a scout to say that Diallo is a first rounder, and that's the scout Parrish chooses to quote.
No sign of journalism anywhere, but what else is new.

Just remember Parrish is a huge Memphis fan and has to endure that dumpster fire under Tubby.
If that's true, that DOES NOT mean he is gone. If I tell you that you can have $3M over three years, OR you can wait 1 year and get $10M over 3 years, which would you take? I'm not saying everyone takes the $10M (top 5 pick) or the $3M (bottom 5 pick), but it is certainly not a done deal either way.
I speculate he returns unless he thinks he is going in the lottery (or at least the teens) after "trying out".
duh...it makes no sense to post it...OP could have easily waded through 26 pages and found that
He gone boys. We gonna need some more recruits to be competitive.
6 months to basketball season.... I will be watching whoever is wearing the UK uniform and drinking beer.
I wouldn't put much stock in this.The majority of scouts have said the opposite but of course workouts could change things.
I've been drinking beer for 32 years, still trying to decide if I like it.6 months to basketball season.... I will be watching whoever is wearing the UK uniform and drinking beer.
He knows he will be lottery next year, so unless there's some huge change and he starts getting projected for lotto this year, he'll be back.
Relax everyone, he's just doing what all kids should do with these new rules - feel out and get some advice on what might need work to get into that lotto range.

Depends on if I just happened to watch the 30 for 30 with my team and wasn't asleep during the piece about Dejuan Wagner.
Don't step back from the ledge people. Please, for the love of God, just jump. Get it over with.
We all knew he would test the waters. He came to UK to play. He sat last year so he wouldn't lose a full year playing only half a year. He will be back
We will be competitive regardless. Championship caliber? That's why games are played. I think we are sleeping on this recruiting class.
I don't blame him but I will never consider him a wildcat
He was not worried about 4 years of eligibility. He definitely was not planning to be here 4 years
Gary believes Diallo will not be back at UK especially if he's first round.
I'm really going to miss him.
It's almost as if he was never here.
I guess we will always have those memories of him standing around the huddle.

These kids are always looking toward the second contract and this would make it happen one year earlier. Unfortunately, some kids do not get the second contract.
I think that now makes 47 guys going in the first round.
He probably will be a first round pick but not a high one. The NBA will need to see him play in order to invest that kind of pick in a guard that has a reputation of not hitting jump shots. Diallo will be a late first rounder in this draft. If he returns and shows he can shoot he will be a top 5 pick no doubt. If he shoots well enough might even go #1. He has all the reasons in the world to come back.
That's not much of a stretch. But he also could have found plenty of scouts to say that Diallo is a second rounder.
He chose to quote a scout saying Diallo is a first rounder, and chose not to balance the story. That's agenda driven, imo.
But whatever. I'm not pretending to know what Diallo will do. I would expect him to leave with a first round guarantee or stay without it. But that's only a guess.
