Vanderbilt to Draft
- Thread starter kornucopia
- Start date
Because he’s 100 gone after next year even if he comes back, so he only needs one mulligan.
So if his camp is worried about injuries ... but NBA teams/ GM’s won’t be worried? They’re going to give him a multi million $$ contract despite him not even playing more than a handful of games ?
Absolutely NO WAY he is drafted this year. He and his “circle” would be making an ignorant decision.
Just because someone DREAMS of playing in the nba for millions (who freaking doesn’t?) doesn’t mean it should be attainable after an injury induced / lackluster season.
I’m in the camp that thinks he’s just going for feedback/ evaluation because i can’t fathom how people could make such an ignorant business decision
I hope somebody posts it again just to see you meltdown.![[laughing]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/laugh.r191677.gif "Laughing [laughing]")
I aim to oblige...
They changed the rule...you can do it more than once now.
That makes absolutely no sense ...
Are you insinuating that Vanderbilt is on the same level of Simmons, Fultz etc?
His talent is obvious. A team could draft him with a late pick, turn him over to their team doctors, and in a year that team could be lauded for "the steal of the draft."
But above all else, don't underestimate how much Vanderbilt's injuries have scared his camp. They view Jarred as their meal ticket. They are terrified of him returning to UK, getting hurt again, and his draft stock being irreparably ruined. So if they think he can get paid this summer, they are advising him to do so.
I thought I was....Sleazy stated I was...
plus two of the three were injured after the draft
171 so far. But apparently this is only a Kentucky problem.
Didn't Cal have every single player on UK test the waters the first year the "testing the waters" rule was implemented? Even the walk-ons? I frankly have no issue with anyone on our team testing the waters, like Wenyen, PJ, Jarred, etc.
I'm insinuating Vanderbilt's camp believes he can be a top NBA rookie once he's healthy.
Probably none. We wouldn't have been in the position every single year like we are under Cal. Or would you rather have Tubby and Billy G back?
I thought the underclassmen deadline for being able to declare but still return was almost two weeks ago?
Several would and then after about five games they'd start belly aching about UK needing a coach like Cal. Go figure but that is exactly how it would happen...
That was my point. He would have had to say 5 final fours or more in eight years with another coach to do better than Cal, which is laughable.
This is the single most moronic take ever on this board by the biggest Cal hating agenda driven POS that permanently resides here! Wow finally getting top notch recruits after year after year of Tubby’s pitiful recruiting and Billy Gs psychosis then the Wall group comes and gave us all hope again and put us back as a relevant Blue Blood program which we had slipped a bit from that lofty perch. Then 3 years later a National Title, another Championship game, total of 4 final fours and a 38 game same season winning streak and the system is broken???? So players don’t make the decisions we want.... boo friggin hoo. You all say it’s about the name on the front of the jersey not on the back and I totally agree....100%. So who gives a crap what the name says on the back of the jersey as long as the TEAM is in the hunt for the championship every year and since Cal has been her the Cats have been deep in the hunt for all but 2 years.
Thanks Captain Obvious
All but three years, to be fair- 2013, 2016, 2018 were years we were not legit contenders.
Not understanding how fans can be upset about this when it’s a win win for the players, other than fans being selfish and only wanting what’s best for them as fans. No issue with that as long as they admit it as well as admitting they don’t really care about players doing what’s best for them (which is why I always liked Cal since he doesn’t do that)
It is a 100% win win for Vanderbilt. He gets to get feed back straight from the teams, he gets to workout for them and learn little things, he could possibly get a promise and get a guaranteed contract. It’s ALL FREE, gets to play outside of the college system, and if teams don’t think he’s ready he can come back to Kentucky.
Someone please explain to me how this isn’t a damn WIN WIN SITUATION FOR VANDERBILT ????? Even Cal said years ago “I TELL EVERYONE OF MY PLAYERS TO TEST THE WATERS SINCE THEY HAVE THE OPTION OF COMING BACK”

THANK YOU. Those are the selfish people who are showing they really don’t care about the players hat come to UK, they only care what they can and do do for them
Cool. I’m sure you’d care a lot about them if they played somewhere else, right? Why do you care so much about them? Because they have KENTUCKY on the chest. That’s why.
If you think fans are supposed to just be more excited about guys going pro after a few months of being on campus more than actually hanging banners then you’ve drank the Kool-Aid.
There aren't any kids like that who could win 10 games at the level we play.
Really not news. Most folks had Vanderbilt as OAD at seasons start. Cal tells any kid that will listen to get legit feedback from the big boys.
Trouble comes if they disregard and jump anyway.
But in all honesty.....JV is about oneore ankle injury from being in the free agent pool. If he could get GUARANTEED money tomorrow, it would be a smart choice.
Where did Derek Anderson go in the draft?
Where would he have gone a few months before his knee blew out?
I love UK basketball. I despise one and done and 'quick jumps'. These young guys have to take care of themselves though..and for every hundred of us saying no way, there is someone close to them that they trust saying jump.

So let me get this straight. We have a kid who can barely walk that declares , one with 9 functioning fingers that declares, and one who doesn’t really want to be here? Is this “The Kentucky Way”?
I think someone had to straighten me out as well....you get feedback twice, then it's over.
Other than that....one agent signing does it.

JV was a lock to go to the combine regardless of the decision...he comes back and strikes lottery gold next year.
