I don't think there is anyway that Darius declares for the draft, and if he does I'll crawl to Lexington and eat John Calipari's gucci shoes. The only players that I don't expect to see next year, minus the seniors, are Jones and Kanter(I still consider him a Wildcat. He fought as hard as he possibly could to be here, to me that counts for something). Jones has really responded to Calipari's benching with a big explosion on the offensive end, however that could be a byproduct of two very bad looking teams. There isn't any reason for Kanter to stay. He'll never get to play, and I highly doubt he has any intentions on continuing to be an undergrad assistant.

I don't look for Knight to leave. I know education is very important to he and his family, and he will be able to graduate next year. That doesn't mean he won't bolt though and try to get his degree in the summer after the NBA season is over. I look/hope that he goes the Patterson route, by continuing to play while at the same time getting his degree, then he can enjoy a long NBA career.

This makes next season so much more appealing to me, assuming Knight returns. You pair an extremely unselfish Knight who is playing away from his natural position, with a Marquis Teague who is equally unselfish, while moving Knight back to his natural spot. That sounds like more than enough to cause a few grey hairs for opposing coaches.

Then will you please tell me where Liggins and Gilchrist will go? The 3 and 4 maybe? That'll mean Darius won't even start. That's one of the reasons I think he'll declare, because if said case happens, he won't get to play. I also think he'll be much improved by the end of the season.
