In my opinion I would tell UK to go fly a kite, they were not interested in him before he recieved mr. basketball and I believe that is the only reason that they are showing intrest now. Why be a token that KY can use to say hey we do recruit players from our state even though we don't believe they will ever play, but god forbid losing "MR. BASKETBALL TO UofL

What has UofL done that would make Elisha feel like he shouldn't listen to what UK has to offer?

They said he can be a preferred walk-on. Well, I'm just tickled to death that RickyP feels like Elisha deserves a good-ole-boy's seat on the bench where he can sit in awe of Coach Pitino's brilliance...(please not sarcasm). Elisha shouldn't have to walk-on anywhere, although I understand why he decided to at UofL. He wants to take in all he can from what some people consider a basketball mentor.

But from what I know about Elisha, I don't think he'll like having to filter the B-Ball knowledge from the profanity that I am certain Rick Pitino uses daily. I heard once that he even made Bobby Knight blush.

UK may have more scholarships available now than they did even 1 month ago. Specualtion of Orton turning pro is practically brand new, no one really thought seriously about Bledsoe going pro unti the SEC tourney, and now Dodson is more than likely leaving, too.

So don't act like UK is jumping on the bandwagon here if they offer Elisha a scholarship. Its just that there is likely one available for him that wasn't there before. A lot of you guys want to act like UK snubbed him throughout the year, and that simply isn't true. In my opinion, its as simple as life being full of surprises. I look at this as Elisha being in the right place at the right time, not UK trying to jump on a Mr. Basketball bandwagon.

Think about it, they could have 8-9 scholarships available if you count those expected to go pro (Wall, Patterson, Cousins, Bledsoe & Orton), those graduating (Harrellson, Stevenson & Krebs), and a possible transfer (Dodson).

Surely KY's Mr. Basketball is good enough to receive one of them.
