This is one of the better posts of the pre-season for sure.
It would be one of the better ones of any preseason, but the bar was set pretty low for this one.

Really? I thought that was Howard Hughes.It is a little known fact that Amelia Earhart did not crash on a deserted Pacific island. No, she
joined the St. Johns basketball program and was never heard from again. In fact, if you check down the end of the St. John's bench during games, the tall bearded fellow sitting on the end is not on scholarship. He is actually Big Foot hiding from the public.
If he commits to Kentucky, all right, what are you gonna do?
But if he commits to St. John's....good lord.
I'm not saying that Steve Lavin can't coach...no, wait, I am saying he can't coach.
And he can't run a program. He has a revolving door of mayhem through which he's lost two incoming players in the past week to academic fraud. (Fake transcript last week, fake SAT score this week.)
Whether Briscoe commits or not will probably decide Lavin's fate for next season.

According to the Twits, Briscoe isn't signing a LOI. In other words, he's declaring for St. John's and hoping that Kentucky comes calling in the spring. Or he's keeping his options open in the event that Lavin gets fired after this season.

Do you really think he couldn't commit to Kentucky tomorrow if he wanted to?
I don't know what the issue is there. It sure sounded from his quotes like he wanted to go to Kentucky, so I don't know why it's not a no-brainer that he's going there.

UK is more than a basketball program under @UKCoachCalipari - it's an empire. And there is simply nothing anyone can do to stop it. #BBN

I don't think UK drops him, but I get the sense that, by the end of the year, Ullis is going to be getting crunch time minutes--I don't think he's a one-and-done given size--and I don't get the sense any NBA program is clamoring for the Harrisons. UK is a foolish choice.Briscoe is not signing an LOI. He left open a wide open Mack truck of a berth to back out. Or for Kentucky to drop him.
Both can happen.
