Hopefully Bamba will just go ahead and take one of the last 2 schollys. Cam Johnson takes the other one.

I doubt Cam Johnson comes to Kentucky now after this tonight. Johnson said in his interview that it would it depend on how some of the recruits go in the next couple of weeks. He might come if Diallo stays in the draft but if Diallo decides to come back next year I don't believe we will get Cam Johnson. We will now probably get Mo Bamba and have 1 or 2 scollies depending on what Diallo does with the NBA. I have never seen a recruiting class like this one and Coach Cal has pulled in some big recruiting classes in his 8 years at UK. This has to be right up there as his best!

Green
Alexander
Baker
Diallo(if he returns)
PJ Washington
Vanderbilt
Kevin Knox
Gabriel
SKJ
Richards
Bamba(most likely to commit to UK next)
Wynyard

If Mo Bamba comes next and Diallo returns then that is 12 schollies and if Diallo stays in the NBA Draft that would be 11. If Diallo stays in the NBA Draft then Coach Cal might still go after Cam Johnson. If Diallo returns then I would say Coach Cal is done with the 12 scollies and won't pursue Johnson. Cam Johnson with all this talent on this Kentucky team might head to Oregon, TCU, or Arizona. What does that make it if Bamba commits to UK and Diallo returns next year will that be Eight 5* players and Four 4* players for the 12 players at Kentucky.
 
This looks like Gabriel, SKJ, and Wynyard will be seeing a lot of the Bench next year unless they have huge summers and make a huge turnaround before next year. We know that SKJ didn't see a lot of playing time this year and Gabriel minutes really went down in February and March when he went into his slump. Wynyard didn't even see the floor much last year.

Guards
Green
Alexander
Diallo(if he returns)
Baker (could get some minutes)

Forwards
Washington
Vanderbilt
Knox
Gabriel

Centers
Richards
Bamba (has talked about playing forward too)
SKJ ( could get some center minutes)

I don't see Wynyard getting minutes next year. Gabriel will also have to turn it up next year and get out of the huge slump he was in during late February and March. Gabriel was only getting around 10-15 minutes when he hit his slump. SKJ is going to have to make a huge turnaround next year. I don't know if he was in Coach Cal's doghouse last year and then after first of the year and after the out of conference schedule SKJ didn't see the floor. They were both 5* players out of High School and many experts were saying both Gabriel and SKJ were going to contribute from day one at Kentucky with their ability of the game. With this team next year this is going to be one Exciting team and we are going to have some players that are extremely talented and players that can flat out shoot the ball and shoot from 3 next year!
