Folks, I said it before he even declared. He will not be returning to Kentucky.
I respect your opinion, but you are stating this as fact, and I disagree.Regardless of what PJ actually decides, this comment should make a lot of people happy. Contrary to popular RR opinion, it confirms that Cal is not running these guys out or telling them to dive headlong at the first paycheck they see.
Why can't "his dream" be to win a National Championship first, and then move on to play professionally.For him, I hope He gets to chase his dream. For me as a selfish fan, I hope he's back next year. Him and EJ could an awesome duo down low.
None of us know what he will do.Everyone is guessing.Folks, I said it before he even declared. He will not be returning to Kentucky.
Kids care less about the name front of the jersey or to win championships, they want to make nba fast as possible. Honestly don't blame them, the colleges and coaches get all the money.Why can't "his dream" be to win a National Championship first, and then move on to play professionally.
Let's just call it the way it actually is. He wants to make money now. Absolutely nothing wrong with that, but let's stop the "chasing their dreams" crap.

I understand, I just don't understand why so many guys are in such a hurry. What's wrong with maturing, developing, and improving your game another year?Especially at a place like Kentucky, where you're treated like a God.I think he’s saying that his dream is to play in the NBA
That isn’t what it sounds like to me. And all due respect, but you have no idea what exactly teams tell him or Cal.

True, NO ONE on this board knows what teams tell Cal or players, what Cal tells teams or players, or what players tell Cal or teams.
But it's common sense. Teams are looking out for their own best interest. If they don't think you are a 1st round guy, they would be thrilled if another team picked you in the 1st, since that would bump up by one player the quality of your next pick. They aren't going to commit to a player, even if they like him a lot, because what if a guy they like even more falls to them unexpectedly.
When Cal tells all ofBBN that his goal is to put as many in the NBA as he can and he don’t care about nattys, you guys say it is coach speak. Is that the same thing as lying? My point is you apologists on this board spin what Cal says in ways that defend him.So, in your “opinion “ Cal DOES tell all his guys to dive headfirst into the first possible paycheck they can get ?
Despite quotes from Cal and actual players saying/ insinuating otherwise your opinion is still that ... what? Cal , PJ and others are lying ?
I have no idea what he or the others will do, nor do I care. It will be what it will be. It is hard for some of us to understand the thinking of PJ and JV. Like one more year of school will kill you? Something deeper is going on at UK. Kids can’t be this stupid, can they?If quoted accurately PJ is such a liar...
Fixed!For him, I hope He gets to chase his dream. For me as a selfish fan, I hope he's back next year. JV and EJ could an awesome duo down low.

To those insinuating PJ is lying: Why?
Why would he bother to lie? It'd be just as easy, if in fact he was staying in the draft regardless of what happens, to say, "I'm still gathering information, and then I'll make a final decision with my family. I appreciate everyone's support..." Or something like that. It makes no sense to lay out a precise scenario of when you'd leave if you really are strongly leaning toward leaving under any and all circumstances.
The words he said, the clarity with which he said it, and his body language, strongly suggest he's given in a lot of thought, and this is his plan.

Just saw were athletic scholarships at Uk were worth 84,000 per year! Do the math with food, board, school versus the possible outcomes! G league 30,000 Cal could stop all our speculation in a heartbeat by telling the press / athlete that we are recruiting over you! I am sure this is happening as we speak in private with each one of them! Cal will not be left not knowing!
That would be Filipina...Hot little filipina from Angeles city.
Fair enough. But, if he is not a lock for first round and stays anyway, what will your feeling be then?

Whatever makes him happy is what he should do, then live with results.For him, I hope He gets to chase his dream. For me as a selfish fan, I hope he's back next year. Him and EJ could an awesome duo down low.
Yassir. Boss.Jesus, dude. Pop some uppers, get some sunshine. Or, at the very least, wait for the players to actually declare before indicting the entire UK basketball program and teenage generation.
Fair enough.I'll let you know if and when. I'm not expecting that to happen, so I'm not wasting any time thinking about how I'll feel about it.
