Thomas Bryant visiting UK's game tonight. 2016s Derryck Thornton, Tai Wynyard too

Originally, I thought Bryant's interest in UK would be short lived due to his mother's forthright and outright preference that he attend 'Cuse, but now I am starting to get curious as he spoke out recently saying that his college destination will be his decision (and his decision alone). It is nothing more than an assumption, but it may lead one to believe he is not as solidly in Cuse's future as many "experts" predict. The crystal ball has him at nearly 90% to Syracuse if I remember correctly. Could Calipari pull a stunner and sway the man to UK out of nowhere?

I've thought Bryant would wind up here since he got the offer. In fact, I thought he would have committed by now.

I have always thought he was a fallback in case we missed on Swanagan and Diallo.
Like Bragg Im not sure Cal would accept a commitment from him until our bigger targets decide

Oh yes Cal would. Bryant is the real deal. Go watch is highlights from the tourney he played in here in Kentucky.

ESPN had this to say about Thomas Bryant:

"The tools are there to become a versatile forward prospect. He is already showing flashes of playing both forward positions and he may have the most upside of any 2015 player. Some say he is a little similar to a young Kevin Durant at this stage of his development, though he is more of a 4 man right now than a 3. As of now he is a little more prospect than player but his upside is off the charts. He could explode at any minute."

I say sign him up!!

Hmmmm....I'll reserve judgement until I see how he walks.

Eh I'm not overly impressed by him.

A lot of other bigs in the class that I like more.

But hey, my opinion doesn't mean much.

Sounds like we're really turning up our attention on Bryant. Even New York guys are saying UK could lure him away from Syracuse.

Heard Adam Zagoria talking about that today (though Zagoria also said Briscoe was going to St. John's, so we'll see

)

With ya. About 5 other bigs I would rather have.

Zagoria got a SEVERE case of butthurt over Briscoe coming to Kentucky and not St.Johns.

Severe!!
