No idea if the helps or hurts any of the kids we're recruiting...

 
One less ship for Kentucky help ua. I get that this is incredibly pessimistic but at this point if Kentucky calls any the guys that were talking with we've already lost the race. There are teams we just can't recruit against at this moment and Kentucky's one of them

No one recruits well against UK, no biggie here.

Do you know how many schollies they have available after this? I know they have at least 5 leaving, but they have a good amount coming in too I believe.
 
I don't believe that every player is going to prefer to be a benchwarmer at UK over a starter at UConn.

The one-and-dones may be out of reach at the moment, but for lots of other players the recruiting battle can be won.

This kid just committed to do that? They've currently got 2 guys coming in who will play over him at the 2, plus Cameron and Knox if they get either of those. And they will recruit over him his entire career until he transfers.

They have 7 incoming recruits for 2017. I guess that means they don't expect to get Bamba anymore.

Disagree Our starting big man who basically would start just left for next year.

They still have a spot for Bamba and are probably front-runners.

I think UNC gets Knox tho.

There was no guarantee Enoch would have started for UConn. He would have been competing with Cobb, Carlton, Diarra, and maybe the likes of Darien Walters for limited minutes, and there's no guarantee he would have beaten any of them out. He will choose between starting at a place like Quinnipiac or Fairfield and being a bench player at a UConn-level program. Maybe in 2 years he can be a starter at a UConn-level program. Only a catastrophic string of injuries and recruiting failures gave him even a chance of starting at UConn next year.

They're at 11 scholarship players for next year

Yup, still have room for Bamba and Cam Johnson. And that's without Diallo leaving
 
Who gives a rats arse who Kensucky gets - all those 5 stars and how many NCs?
And don't give me the number of Final 4s or elite 8s - with the line up he has every year he should win the big one more than once
The Squid simply sucks

I wonder how Diallo will feel about coming off the bench behind Cam Johnson, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Shai Alexander.

You are living in a Dream World - Enoch would have been the starting 5.

Yeah a 6'6" freak athlete shooting guard who shoots under 30% from 3 in college could never be an NBA draft pick, let alone a three-time all-star and play for team USA

If Diallo goes pro this year he'll have never played a minute in college. A poor-shooting SG who has never played above high school is going to need to develop in D-league no matter how athletic he is.

An NBA team might have him play else where to start, but he would absolutely be drafted

I would hope he would be smart enough not to go pro unless he was assured of being drafted and developed.
