Either Bamba has a sick sense of humor in that he enjoys getting our hopes up for nothing or the Texas rumors are simply nothing more than rumors. I'd say it's about time for Bamba to seal the deal and put the rumors to bed, but then again he said the only thing that's for certain is that he'll announce before the draft so technically this could go on until June 21st.



Go Big Blue!!!

If he goes to Texas it's partly Cals fault for not taking Jarrett allen when he wanted to commit

He needs Texas in order to cause excitement for his recruitment this late in the game.

Texas benefits by being in his top 2 when it comes to future big men they recruit even though they know Bamba is Kentucky bound. Shaka can tell big men recruits that he almost stole Bamba away from Coach Cal. Makes Smart look good.

For whatever reason, Cal doesn't feel it is the best time for Bamba to commit. Maybe he will use Bamba's commit as a means of quieting the future (UK missed on Knox and is screwed. Cal isn't going to get Diallo to stay, Bamba is jumping ship because of that, and Johnson won't commit without them either, etc. Type articles due to start popping up soon) Knox mess.

Maybe he's waiting for a different reason. Calipari has a plan for each recruit ready to commit for it to be most helpful to the commit and UK both. He has always done this when planning out his incoming classes.

In my completely worthless opinion as always.

Maybe it's not as worthless as you think. In his latest interview Bamba states waiting this long is for a reason, that everything he's done during this process has been for one reason or another and that it's allowed him to get closer to the coaches. With that said, I'm going to do what crazy fans do and twist that to mean that him and Cal have planned this all along and it's part of a plan to destroy every low down, cheating, dirty, scandalous, whinning piece of poo team that's in our way to achieving this year's ultimate goal of winning number 9.

Anybody that thinks he's conspiring with Cal on when to committ is just wrong. He's a genuine kid with a geniune bond with Smart and he wouldn't backstab him like that. Not a chance. I'm starting to think he's headed to UK and is having a hard time breaking the news to Shaka.

You, me or anyone else here have no clue to what's goin' on inside this kid's mind. So don't discount anyone's opinion because it's worth just as much as yours. Not much.

Love how you talk in absolutes, then I get to the end. Lol. At least it's not confusing me anymore and I know it's an opinion. I like your thinking here though.
 
Thanks for the replies. That's why I always end statements with "All in my completely worthless opinion as always", because I don't have any inside sources pertaining to Bamba. I am just a hardcore UK fan like the rest if you that reads into things and compares them to past events.

If you have a different opinion, I'd love to hear it, but it certainly doesn't make mine any more or less worthless as yours.

We are all just guessing at this point and my faith in Cal leads me to believe that Diallo, Bamba, and Johnson are all waiting for a specific reason, as Cal has done plenty of times in the past.

I don't think anything has changed and all 3 are ours. Once again, though...

Hey, I'm right there with ya brother. It seems like every year everyone is sitting on that ledge, just waiting to jump into the abysmal abyss and then it all comes together and everyone says......ok, we should've just trusted in Cal. So, I'm right there with ya. Cal has never let us down with recruiting, so I just put my faith in him and see what happens.

Uh oh he rolls his eyes off to the side like I don't want nothing to do with these guys!!
 
I've never been THAT worried about Bamba. He and UK just makes too much sense. I get the Texas/Smart connection, but Cal's coached too many guys like him.

Me too.Actually the only recruit I am worried about is Diallo.Have to have him to make a run at the title IMO.
 
Bet on it.

Green
Diallo
Vanderbilt
Washington
Bamba

Alexander
Baker
Johnson
Gabriel
Richards
SKJ
Wynyard

9-10 man rotation depending on what Baker looks like. And Richards too. I could see him come in and be a beast, or just play well and come back and dominate as a sophomore
