FB Recruiting Three of four Rivals analysts pick Bamba to Texas
- Thread starter JRowland
- Start date
I guess Shaka has been playing the sympathy card and telling him he can be the guy that turned the program around, errrrr save his job.
He isn't for sure going and Bamba already said they can play together with Allen at the 5. Allen is a buffoon if he doesn't go pro.
If he goes there then good luck to him and I'm glad it isn't Duke
Allen is going to the workouts. The guy is legit, so I bet he impresses, gets crazy good feedback and stays in the draft. That will then give Bamba the excuse he needs to tell his good friend Shaka he wants to contend for a title, and then he'll choose UK.

Literally didn't hear a thing about Allen all last year.
That's the thing about charisma, smart has it. Only problem is charisma is pseudo bullshit

Mo Bamba is and has been the # 1 prospect on KY's board. There is no way John Vincent is going to lose him to freaking Shaka Smart and Texas basketball.
I will be disappointed if he doesn't come to UK. But if it ain't UK, I'd rather it be somewhere like Texas. I guess his friendship with Green and Diallo is not as strong as has been reported. We shall see.
If Bamba makes this mistake we really need Bam back but if not Johnson is a must. Gabriel, Richards, SKJ, Hump., and Wynard are more than capable of taking care of the 4-5 spots, Vanderbilt and Washington can play some 4 as well. Johnson at the 2 and 3 will see all the minutes he can handle. A line up of Green, Diallo, Johnson, Vanderbilt, and Hum or Richards will be hard to handle.
If he goes, at least he'll be somewhere he cannot hurt us in the tournament. He can ask Zimmerman and Malik Newman how well the season goes when a star comes in to turn it around. And Bamba is not a Ben Simmons or Fultz where he is so good the scouts do not care, he definitely needs exposure and a successful year to make his stock surge.
Wiggins to KU, Shabazz to UCLA, Zimmerman to UNLV, Bolden to Duke, Swanigan to Purdue, Brown to Cal, Ingram to Duke, Newman to MSST. Just a few late deciding recruits that don't fit your narrative.
So Im guessing it comes down to who stays in the draft. Bam or allen but what if they both stay in the draft or both come back. It's like a damn drama movie we are watching.
I think Bamba should go ahead and commit, then let Bam make the decision best for him, which if to go forward and get in the draft.
He's worthy of a #1 more than Skal and Orton was at their time. I'd take him in ATL if he was still on the board, which will be around 19-21.

Yeah, I wouldn't put much stock on what those three are thinking. It's all assumptions at this point and there isn't a reason or evidence to believe that they will be heading to Texas. As for UK, I personally still believe that it's his destination point due to Cal and his relationship with Quade and Hami.
Yes they did. Very late(like the day Brown was announcing) people starting predicting UK(Brown specially told Evan Daniels UK the day of to throw people off). Rabb, Brown and Swanigan to Cal was always a very real possibility.
I thought the narrative was they're not always right. That's how I read it.
The only one of those that was a rumored strong lean to UK for a very long stretch was Newman.
This rarely happens with kids like that (the only cases I can think of that fit that description are Newman and Mudiay - and the latter had some shady stuff going on, so who knows what factored into that).
I love when people react to this stuff as fact.
"Welp, that sucks!"
"Welp, that sucks!"
I agree with this. Bossi is the most notable of the 4 and he says U.K so I still think we are in the driver's seat based on this.
