If the NBA goes back to the straight outta high school or 3 years rules, especially with the G league, and turns the draft into 3 rounds, college basketball would be so much better.
It's only a matter of time before something happens, but K and Squid are going to cut all the low hanging fruit until it does.
These bench stars would rather have the name association than the playing time elsewhere.It seems like Duke and Kentucky have 5 star guys sitting on the bench. Meanwhile, most programs would be happy just to have one of them on the roster.
Then they lack competitive fire and that ain't goodThese bench stars would rather have the name association than the playing time elsewhere.
Hey...silver lining is this is great for the Celtics....
Can't believe KO didn't have us at least the Final 3. I'm getting even more nervous about the future now.
This will be even better when K falls short on this NC knowing he should have it in the bag.
I hate Puke for a lot of reasons. The biggest one right now is how they were gifted a NC when their star slammed into a guy out of control in the FF or NC game and knocked the guy to the floor and no foul was called. Foul there, the guy is in foul trouble and Duke is in trouble. Full speed, not going directly at the rim, guy stationary for 2 seconds, slams him, no foul. Why bother. When K and C move on, it'll be a day of celebration.
As Huskymagic said: you remain my favorite of the Ollie apologists and Pollyannas!!!!!
HaHa - a classic comment, huh?
Hope things are well Mau
And K will fall short
No, they want to keep that "has potential" label. Once they play, the warts are out there.Then they lack competitive fire and that ain't good
My hope is that Gabriel spends the entire season on the bench in Lexington and decides to transfer to Storrs after the season...It seems like Duke and Kentucky have 5 star guys sitting on the bench. Meanwhile, most programs would be happy just to have one of them on the roster.

As he gets recruited over and his time remains the same even, low minutes, he'd be smart to get out and go play somewhere. Would be a possibility I would guess, like the thought. Hell I thought about it last year when he wasn't getting too much run.
I'm with you both as most people probably would be ... but the problem is once they've committed and spent time, esp at UK, that feels less likely.
I feel like if that does happen, he'd just enter the draft and we'd lament further a guy who chose to be one of 20 studs in the mix rather than come here and blow up.
Problem is, these dudes get so much love just from being involved with UK...it makes it tough to have a problem with their decision.
Why is this even up here ?
UK's had a couple of transfers out recently. Lee will play at Cal this year, and Matthews is at Michigan.I'm with you both as most people probably would be ... but the problem is once they've committed and spent time, esp at UK, that feels less likely.

I agree that it's a pipe dream with Gabriel tho.
