As expected. All this talk of him being ineligible or going to Europe to play was ridiculous.

I agree, alfus. I think people were just trying to add to all of this "craziness" that has been going since Tubby left. Bradley and Crawford will be the 2 most important ingredients for UK next season. The team will go as far as those 2 can carry them, regardless of who they hire. I'm glad to see Crawford, and Bradley, staying at UK.

I was hoping he'd leave, another scholarship for a less SELFISH player. Maybe the new coach will put an end to it.

Don't forget Meeks. He is going to be a stud.

I hear ya biz.. He adds a few pounds of muscle and improves his ball handling skills a little during the offseason he could be a monster. He has some serious hops and his wingspan is something crazy like 10 feet Smile

Crawford has a chance at being an NBA type player if he has a good season. He has the talent and ability, but needs to play smarter.

I agree, He is similar to Bukie..But Bukie made the mistake leaving thinking he was ready at the time. I think Crawford made a good choice this time and it could turn out to make him wealthy..

didnt Bukie have to because of his family's finacial situation.

His dad received some jail time for a fraud scheme involving some church members from Oklahoma City. :Thumbs:

That's why Bukie left when he did.
