Message: [QUOTE="JB75, post: 3907536, member: 8938"] I mean let’s put it this way, three weeks ago he was a sure fire 100% lottery pick- last few weeks things have changed somewhat - scouts might now realize durability is an issue , three point shooting , turnovers on drives ,leader ship etc. things bouk can definitely work on - is he gone for the NBA ? 90% most likely- but let’s not sit here after how things have gone the past couple weeks and act like throwing that question out there is beyond ridiculous- there still is a slight chance he comes back and don’t sell Bouk short either - hes deeper than u think. I think it’s insulting to his character from posters who here say “all he cares about is the money and it’s all about the money” - this is a kid who cares about his UConn legacy and how he will be remembered. Dont think that doesn’t weigh on him. Don’t make him sound like a simpleton just doing “everything for the money”. Bouk deeply cares about UConn, his teammates and coaches and fans and if you think he is just gonna turn the page in three seconds and not give a second thought as to how these last couple weeks ended, you’re selling Bouks mentality short. Unlike some young kids, JB cares about the UConn tradition and how his legacy will be viewed years from now - I wish him the best of luck and , yes , he’s most likely gone but don’t sit here and say it’s completely asinine To throw the question out there of “will he come back?” I know it was years ago -but Meka, rip ,Ray kemba and Benny all came back for thier junior years and it benefited them financially. What’s the rush? The nba will always be there - he’s only 19. Best of luck in whatever you decide bouk - maybe there’s a slight chance you come back next year and take Uconn and their fans on a ride you will cherish for the rest of your life. [/QUOTE]
