"This is why I chose Kentucky" - Knox

Yup, agreed. Let's be real. Most of these guys are competitors and want to win, in HS, in college and in the NBA. Leaving after one year to go make a lot of money in your profession doesn't mean you don't care about the school or winning for the school. School just doesn't pay. Some of our dumber posters just never get this.
EXACTLY. Our kids this year cared so much they were a wreak after the UNC game but you can't turn down lotto money like Fox and Monk can get.

He mentions about winning championship...

people will continue to talk about how our players never mentioned wanting to win the title.
Those people are called umm or dumb, or another possibility, fans of lewisville community cowwage(a.k.a. whoresville). As the standards are similar, they play in the same conference (which is harder to win than the national title), some might be thinking uofnotswahilli,but that is incorrect.
 
Simply, there are better things in life than getting guys who were considering UNC and Duke, but there's not many:

- Big lottery winner
- National Championship
- All the personal achievements, etc.

But there's not many, and ole Roy will just have to try and convince some of his guys to come back. K may not be finished, but if you're counting on Allen leading your young guys? Risky proposition IMO and just in case, go get you an Eastern Ky commit!
 
Will this impact Diallo?
Let me answer this yes absolutely will. If everyone will go back to the signing of green lots of people wondered why Cal dropped young for green Diallo Knox Bamba and Green and Washington are all tight I think the parents are as well this going to help us alot as a young team especially if Diallo comes back that 4 of our top freshman all will have some built in chemistry which will help with the learning curve as Cal preaches to play for each other and everybody eats

I hope he comes back. Wish he would have played this yr. I think he would have helped quite a bit.

Maybe but it was Diallo at the end of March that was quoted as saying with Knox green wasington himself and Bamba they would be hard to beat. I think these kids are all really tight they all play together and with green as their leader Diallo hears what he wants and stay in then I wish him well but this is starting to look like a bunch of guys who are close getting together and saying let's all help each other to eat and win a championship youth may not be as big a deal as we think because potentially five of our guys already have a bond. Hell have you ever played a sport with a group of good friends guys who will sacrifice for the other. This is shaping up as something really special

Plus you already have chemistry and know their tendencies. Comforting too, when in hostile environments.

I wish this was true, regarding Diallo's decision.

In my opinion, the ONLY factor Diallo is considering whether he enters the draft or not is purely financial.

I'm sure he would like to play with as many of his friends as he could in college.

But it is naive to believe playing one season with Knox has any bearing on HD deciding on his future the next 10 days.

I agree but mostly just don't grasp some people who have all of these opinions about recruiting not including you in that,but have never taken the time to educate themselves on how this is has taken place. Yes I know it doesn't effect Diallo's decision as much as say Bamba's who has to wait a year to enter the draft so might as well spend the year with friends but if it is a up in the air a toss of the coin based on the info Diallo gathers it might be a nudge to help him decide to come back. Go back and read Diallo's comments from the end of March.

He sounded like a guy that was excited to play with his buds. I do not think that his buds playing at UK would cause him to delay his dream if it is clear cut. Just that if he is on the fence it may push him to the comming back side. The people I am directing this too are the ones who seem to think Knox would cause Diallo to def not come back or Bamba to say to many stars and go to Texas
