^
Is that for sure or your imagination?

[Mix1]

On what?

[RunItUpTheGut]

^
Have the players you mentioned actually said there leaving or is that just what you think

[Mix1]

Embiid has,, Wiggins said prior to signing with KU he was a OAD. Both are projected to go #1,, #2..

Harrell has told people he's going.

Ennis said he's going.

Parker and Hood both are talking about going,, anything can happen,, IE Coach K crying to em n beg em back. Both projected top 12.

And Randle projected #3-#5,, he'll go.

[RunItUpTheGut]

^
Before our little run of good play in the tourney, I honestly thought Randle was the only sure thing to head to the draft.

Now, ive heard, Randle, Young, and Cauley are all gone. Harrison twins most likely staying, along with all the other frosh and Poythress.

[toussaints]

^UK's great run has risen the draft stock for a lot of Cats, especially the Harrison twins. I don't think the twins would leave unless UK won the national championship.

[Mix1]

Youngs godfather told him to basically stay,, his family doesn't necessarily need the money and work his way into a top 5-10 pick next year. The twins father basically told them the same thing. Willie was tellin a lot,, prior to him gettin hurt,, he was staying another year. In my opinion. Anything short of a championship,, 2/3 of Young,, Willie and the twins will be back. Championship? All will go more than likely with small chance the twins come back.

[catsfan2]

Any word on who's coming back for Kentucky?

[redhound93]

WCS said wasn't ready to "take off the jersey".

Does anyone see one Harrison going and the other one staying, go or stay together. Will they stay true to their word playing at UK for the next 4 years when the announced their decision to come to UK in HS?

[cuppett777]

wonder whats taking Randle so long,would have thought he would have said something by now

[Mix1]

Twins will not stay 4 years. They'd go this year if was projected higher. They hadn't planned on going two years but their stock dropped. And they'll go together and not go separate.

Reason I think Randle is waiting so long is he really wants to come back. His stock also has dropped,, 8-14 now. That's what's holding him up,, trying to find a team that will take him higher. If not,, I really expect him back as well.

I think Johnson may end up going. Someone will take him in the 20s. Keep in mind he should be graduating high school in the next couple mths. He's old school as can get on being a true center. But lack of quickness will keep him out of a high lottery pick if even ever a lotto pick. Mid first would probably be highest he'd ever get taken. So go now.

[Mix1]

Oh Alex,, his dad wants him to transfer due to lack of PT and how he was utilized this year. Alex wants to and will return,, he will graduate next year and can if want transfer n play immediately or go pro if he wants.

Derek Willis,, his parents also wants him to transfer because lack of any PT. Why,, no idea,, they knew from getgo he'd not see any time this year and not a lot until Jr year. In the end he'll be back. Parents are loserville fans afterall.

Seen that one coming.
I seen ushers at rupp look more enthused than Willis.


I think itd be great if everyone else stayed

[toussaints]

angry about how the season ended. he probably wants to stay, but has people close telling him to go pro. seeing that UK will be a heavy favorite to win it all next year, it's wouldn't hurt staying another year. a loss like the national championship can change someone's mind quickly.

if the emotions from the final four wear off a little, then I could see him going 100%

Twins just came back from Orlando after talking to an agent. They also shot around in the Orlando Amway Center.

Randle has boxed up his room.

Dakari is really being worked on by WCS of all people. Which must mean that Dakari is thinking of going, and with three starting Centers, there is just not enough room.

Poythress wants to stay. there is NO TRUTH of Alex talking about transferring. His conversations with his dad are about declaring because of playing time, or staying and graduating with his sister next year.

James has an agent and will be leaving UK before school let's out.

[Mix1]

I should have reworded Alex. His dad wants him to leave UK.

[Mix1]

Twins went from Ky to Orlando to Houston then back. Not saying they didn't meet an agent but they didn't stay long in Orlando. Left KY last thurs I think it was,, in Houston Friday morning. Or Wed/Thurs.

Kentucky's Julius Randle to formally announce plans for draft on Tuesday
April 21, 2014 9:08 am ET











Kentucky officials have scheduled a press conference for Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 ET, at which point sources told CBSSports.com that freshman basketball player Julius Randle is expected to formally announce his decision to enter the 2014 NBA Draft.

Randle averaged 15.0 points and 10.4 rebounds this season while helping the Wildcats advance to the national championship game, where they lost to Connecticut. The 6-foot-9 forward recorded 24 double-doubles, which is a record for UK freshmen. He's a lock to be selected in the top 10 and could theoretically go in the top five.

Sunday is the deadline for underclassmen to enter the NBA Draft.

[cougarpride08]

The twins went to TX to see there Dad coaching AAU basketball is what I heard.

[Stardust]

^ But you didn't hear it from the person who picked them up at the airport.....

[Mix1]

Know a guy that talked to an NBA agent that said as of yest neither twin has talked to any agent about going to the NBA this year.

[cuppett777]

heard Twins coming back, will announce this evening or tomorrow, I guess we will see if its true...

[Mix1]

I'd imagine the twins tomor,, and Slice Friday.

[Mix1]

Randle and Young just announce their autograph tour of KY today. Would think if the twins were gone they'd a waited on em
